Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>RELATED:<\/b> – By Staff Reporter<\/b><\/p>\n

CITIZENS Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa has in his election campaign promised to fix economic problems currently bedevilling Zimbabwe, which has seen retail prices soaring and the local currency fast losing its value against the USD.<\/p>\n

Chamisa who is set to contest in the August polls against Zanu PF candidate President Emmerson Mnangagwa said citizens should give him a chance to improve the economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cBad politics cannot deliver good economics. The state of the economy is the state of leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrices in the shops are wild. Salaries are completely washed away.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust pay workers a decent wage in $US. Zimbabwe, this time try us, give us a chance to fix this mess once and for all,\u201d wrote Chamisa.<\/p>\n

The value of Zimbabwe\u2019s currency is falling dramatically by the day, prices are rising and the USD has become the preferred currency for goods and services.<\/p>\n

Consumers have had their local currency value eroded, with an increasing number of basic goods now beyond their reach.<\/p>\n

The nation is also facing a high unemployment rate, poor working conditions and meagre salaries.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, President Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s spokesperson has blamed some the business community for frustrating the government\u2019s efforts to stabilise the economy.<\/p>\n

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) governor John Mangudya has also warned disciplinary action against businesses that are fuelling the exchange volatility and promised price stability restoration.<\/p>\n
