President <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Emmerson_Mnangagwa/">Emmerson Mnangagwa</a> has said the ZANU PF party would not entertain discussions of a rerun, a Government of National Unity (GNU), or a Transitional Authority. Speaking during the 119th Ordinary Session of the ZANU PF Central Committee in Harare on Saturday, he urged the opposition to respect the will of the people as expressed through the polls.
His remarks come as the opposition party, Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) led by Nelson Chamisa, has approached the SADC to pressure Zimbabwe into holding fresh elections, citing irregularities observed during the previous presidential election. 
<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/08/25/seom-au-comesa-and-ecf-sadc-observer-missions-joint-statement-on-zimbabwe-2023-elections/">The Observer Missions highlighted several concerns</a> regarding the 23 August 2023 harmonised elections in Zimbabwe. They observed that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) was criticised for the delayed release of the Voters Roll, as well as the restrictive fee charged for accessing it. They noted that freedom of Assembly was violated with the disruption of opposition rallies by the police. Other issues included concerns over the independence of the Judiciary, allegations of voter intimidation by a group called Forever Associates Zimbabwe (FAZ), controversy surrounding postal voting, and bias of state-owned media against opposition parties, contrary to impartiality requirements.
President Mnangagwa stated that there is no constitutional basis for an election rerun and the government’s focus is on implementing programs to improve the lives of Zimbabweans. <a href="https://www.sundaymail.co.zw/rerun-gnu-will-never-happen-president">The Sunday Mail</a> cites him as saying:
<blockquote>
The people have granted our revolutionary mass party, ZANU PF, yet another mandate to govern our great motherland, Zimbabwe. This is the reality that the leaders of the opposition, their supporters and their handlers must face.
Entertaining any talk of a rerun, a so-called Government of National Unity, or Transitional Authority is a pipe dream that will never ever happen.
They must wake up from these delusions. The people of our great motherland have spoken; the collective voices must be respected.
Democracy and constitutionalism reign supreme in our country.
</blockquote>
President Mnangagwa attributed ZANU PF’s “election success” to unity, hard work, and people-centred policies. He emphasized that the elections were free, fair, peaceful, and transparent, uniting the nation against division and violence. The President condemned the opposition for disregarding constitutionalism and democracy, affirming that Zimbabwe will not become a “banana republic.”
He said the ruling party is now preparing for the National People’s Conference to accelerate policies and projects for improving citizens’ quality of life. President Mnangagwa highlighted achievements in various sectors such as rural industrialization, food security through programs like Pfumvudza/Intwasa, and growth in mining and transport sectors.

"ZANU PF Will Not Entertain Any Talk Of A Rerun, GNU, Or Transitional Authority" - President Mnangagwa

Labour, Economists and African Democrats (LEAD) party President Linda Masarira has proposed a power-sharing arrangement similar to Zimbabwe’s former Government of National Unity (GNU) in response to the country’s disputed election results. Masarira suggests a 10-year hiatus from elections to allow for a negotiated government that can amend laws and promote national healing. Masarira was unable to contest the presidency after failing to pay the required US$20,000.
Masarira believes a GNU would reduce the likelihood of opposition party supporters resorting to violence. Her party did not field a candidate due to the high nomination fee of $1,000, which she argues excludes many from participating in politics. In a statement released on Wednesday, Masarira said:
<blockquote>
As a political party that was involved in the Zimbabwean 2023 elections LEAD propose that since the elections stand disputed the only wayforwad is an all inclusive power-sharing arrangement. The LEAD proposed Power-sharing arrangement aims to reduce the risk of continued political polarisation and possibility of civil conflict by guaranteeing all political parties and civil societies a role in the Zimbabwean government, directly or indirectly, thus lessening the stakes of political contestation. In this way, the proposed power-sharing will reduce the risk that spoilers will resort to violence if they do not succeed in the process of democratic electoral contestation. While power-sharing can reduce the incentive of electoral losers to renege on their commitment to democracy, we argue that this depends on the nature of the relevant groups, as well as on the political institutions that will be chosen.
LEAD believes that, elections have three main functions in a democracy. First, they are means of choosing the people’s representatives to a legislature, senate, and local authority or to a single office such as the presidency. Second, elections are not just a means of choosing representatives but also of choosing governments. Indeed, in many established democracies, elections are primarily a contest between competing political parties to see who will control the government. Finally, elections are a means of conferring legitimacy on the political system. When, at the end of the electoral process there is no notional consensus to the effect that the process has managed to serve it purpose the logical thing is to enter into a power sharing arrangement while setting up conditions and institutions for a better electoral showing.
As a nation, we have to understand that there is always the overarching issue of under what circumstances elections can help to build a new democratic order in Zimbabwe, and under what circumstances they can undermine democracy and pave the way for a return to polarisation and political violence. The high expectations, Zimbabweans often put on elections tend to be accompanied by a weakness in the preconditions for their success. As a polarised society, Zimbabwe lacks the political climate, social and economic stability, institutional infrastructure, and political will to mount successful elections.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe held elections on 23 – 24 August and the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) declared President Emmerson Mnangagwa the winner with 52.6% of the vote, while main rival Nelson Chamisa of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) received 44%. Both Chamisa and Mnangagwa claim victory in the election.
The CCC has since called for fresh polls citing irregularities during the elections such as ballot shortages, lack of an auditable voters’ roll, voter suppression, intimidation, and failure to address basic requests. Similar concerns were echoed by observer missions from the SADC, EU, and Commonwealth, which Zimbabwe plans to rejoin.
The previous Government of National Unity (GNU) in Zimbabwe was formed in 2008 after a disputed presidential election. It came about through a political agreement between the two major parties, ZANU-PF and MDC, facilitated by regional and international mediators. President Mugabe remained in power, while Morgan Tsvangirai became Prime Minister. The aim was to bring stability, implement reforms, and address economic challenges. However, the GNU faced difficulties, and it ended in 2013 with the subsequent elections and ZANU-PF’s victory.

Linda Masarira Proposes Power-Sharing Resembling Zimbabwe's Previous GNU

Former Deputy Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, Arthur Mutambara, has expressed regret about the failure of the opposition to push for political and electoral reforms during the Government of National Unity (GNU). Speaking in an interview with Alpha Media Holdings Chairman, Trevor Ncube, Mutambara highlighted the importance of carrying out political and electoral reforms during the GNU and lamented that they failed to deliver on this agenda. Mutambara said:
<blockquote>
Some serious regrets. A key part of the agenda of the GNU was carrying out political reforms, electoral reforms. Zero out of 100. We failed to deliver political reforms we failed to deliver electoral reforms. That’s why the terrain is still problematic, because of our failure. We were very keen on delivering on the economy, the constitution, that we didn’t think about the post-GNU. What are we going to do post-GNU? We were so naive to the extent that we spent a lot of time doing good work on the economy, good work, constitution was another product we did okay but we failed to plan for the post-GNU in the sense that ZANU PF was working for us to be offloaded in 2013 and then continue on their own. So that post-GNU lack of planning was a failure and the issue of political reforms was a failure.
</blockquote>
Asked why the GNU government failed to implement political reforms, Mutambara said:
<blockquote>
A coalition government is never the best way to run a country. It was a team of rivals and there has to be agreement on many things and ZANU PF was not interested in political reforms. Well, we didn’t try hard enough, but also it was a difficult exercise because it was a team of rivals where agreement was required for the implementation of those political reforms, but failure nontheless.
</blockquote>
Mutambara also highlighted some of the successes of the GNU which include stabilising the economy following a 2008 hyperinflation. 
The Government of National Unity (GNU) in Zimbabwe was a coalition government formed in 2009 between three political parties: ZANU-PF, MDC-T, and MDC-M. The GNU was formed following the disputed 2008 elections and aimed to address Zimbabwe’s political and economic challenges. The GNU had three principals, one from each of the three political parties in the coalition government. They were: Robert Mugabe, President of Zimbabwe and the leader of the ruling party ZANU-PF; Morgan Tsvangirai, Prime Minister of Zimbabwe and the leader of the opposition party MDC-T, and Arthur Mutambara, Deputy Prime Minister of Zimbabwe and the leader of the MDC-M, a breakaway faction of the MDC-T.

Mutambara Regrets Opposition's Failure To Push For Political Reforms During GNU

Zimbabwe’s former Deputy Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Obert_Gutu">Obert Gutu</a>, has said South Africans, unlike Zimbabweans, would never demonise their country even in the face of unprecedented challenges.
The law expert said Zimbabweans need the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Patriotic_Bill">Patriotic Act</a> which will govern their conduct. He said:
<blockquote>
There are unprecedented power cuts in South Africa. But we don’t hear South Africans demonising their country. In Zimbabwe, the usual suspects climb on rooftops &amp; tell the whole world that their country is a failed state. Patriot Act is long overdue in Zimbabwe.
</blockquote>
His remarks come as the ZANU PF government is trying to come up with the Patriotic Bill that has been viewed as an attempt to weaken opposition political parties and make some politicians ineligible to contest elections.
The Patriotic Bill which was proposed in August 2020 prohibits citizens from conniving with “hostile” foreign governments to harm the country by campaigning for the imposition of sanctions or related actions or speeches.
Critics say the bill will be used as justification to violate human rights as it gives authorities permission to snoop into private communications between citizens and officials of foreign governments.
Early this year, the issue of the Bill was brought up for discussion in the UK Parliament and legislators raised displeasure.

"South Africans, Unlike Zimbabweans, Won't Demonise Their Country Despite Challenges"

Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) vice president, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Tendai_Biti">Tendai Biti</a>, has said <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/07/14/rbz-approves-regulation-that-will-allow-zesa-to-bill-exporters-in-usd-euros-other-forex/">Statutory Instrument (S.I.) 131 of 2022 which obliges exporters to pay for electricity in foreign currency</a> shows how ill thought was de-dollarisation.
<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/06/24/breaking-rbz-si-142-bans-use-of-all-foreign-currencies-with-effect-from-24-june-2019/">Zimbabwe reintroduced the Zimbabwe dollar</a> in June 2019 and made it the sole legal tender putting an end to the multicurrency regime that was in place since 2009 when Zimbabwe had record-high inflation of 231 million per cent, per official statistics.
The government is reluctant to re-dollarise saying the southern African country has no capacity to fully dollarise amid fears that the move advocated by Biti would trigger serious cash crises as was the case around 2016. 
Biti, a former Minister of Finance and Economic Development during the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Government_of_National_Unity">Government of National Unity (GNU 2009-2-13)</a>, believes Zimbabwe would have been better had authorities not de-dollarised. He said:
<blockquote>
The regime has enacted SI 131 of 2022 which obliges exporters or partial exporters to pay electricity charges in US$. The measure is yet further proof of the adhocratic &amp; chaotic nature of policy making in Zim. It is proof of how ill thought de-dollarization was.
Zimbabwe faces an energy crisis arising out of the fact that in 42 years of independence there has not been investment in power generation. The Hwange Thermal Units are archaic &amp; obsolete whilst Kariba has its own challenges. Pushing the cost of lack of gross capital formation to exporters is heavy-handed and ill-thought. Zimbabwe urgently requires fresh 2000MegaWatt power generation and this regime is not capable of overseeing this. The lack of infrastructure development in 42 years captures the incompetency &amp; paralysis of the #ZANU project
Needless to say, Gross Capital Formation and infrastructure development will be a top top priority in a new Zimbabwe. Zim infrastructure is in a state of decay, frozen in a 1950s time machine. An absolute national embarrassment
Making exporters pay for electricity is also reflective of the fact regime has run out of foreign currency. The auction system has been an expensive vehicle of arbitrage &amp; the taps are running dry Yet the same exporters still suffer from the pain of Export Surrender Requirements
The overuse of Statutory Instruments to govern reflects a lack of planning &amp; disdain of parliament. Having 131 SI s in 6 months literal means a Statutory Instrument every 16 hours. Governance by decree is authoritarian archaic &amp; undemocratic. The country requires new leaders.

He made the remarks while addressing scores of CCC supporters who thronged to the White City Stadium, Bulawayo for the party’s campaign for the 26 March by-elections and 2023 harmonised elections. The former Finance Minister said:
<blockquote>
USA! The next president of Zimbabwe is Advocate Nelson Chamisa and under a Nelson Chamisa government, we’ll bring back the US dollar. The civil servants, the civil servants, the civil servants will be paid in US dollars, the doctor will be paid in US dollars, the teacher will be paid in US dollars, the war veteran will be paid in US dollars, the nurse will be paid in US dollars, the Kombi driver will be paid in US dollar. We will make Zimbabwe great again. Zikomo Kwambili.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe adopted a multicurrency system in 2009, shortly before the Government of National Unity, following the collapse of the local unit.
The Southern African country recorded a record high inflation of 231 million per cent, as per official records, rendering the Zimbabwe dollar worthless. 
The government <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/06/24/breaking-rbz-si-142-bans-use-of-all-foreign-currencies-with-effect-from-24-june-2019/">ditched the multicurrency system in June 2019</a> and reintroduced the Zimbabwe dollar.
The Zimbabwe dollar has been shedding value against other currencies thereby eroding workers’ salaries and their buying power.
Workers have been pushing the government to re-dollarise and pay them in United States dollars as was the case prior to October 2018.
Authorities are adamant that Zimbabwe will not re-dollarise as the <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/02/13/we-cannot-grow-our-economy-on-the-basis-of-a-foreign-currency-president-mnangagwa/">country cannot grow its economy on the basis of a foreign currency</a> which it does not have control over.

Zivhu suggested that the vanquished <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/G40_(Zanu-PF_Faction)">G40,</a> a ZANU PF faction reportedly led by former first lady <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Grace_Mugabe">Grace Mugabe</a>, and some former cabinet ministers including <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Saviour_Kasukuwere">Saviour Kasukuwere</a>, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Jonathan_Moyo">Jonathan Moyo</a> and <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Patrick_Zhuwao">Patrick Zhuwao</a>, is coming back, possibly to overthrow the current ZANU PF leadership. He posted on Twitter:
<blockquote>

European countries are backing the idea, 10 billion USD to be injected in our economy. Pane vari kubatwa kumeso (there are some who are being deceived), soon they will get a surprise.
</blockquote>
Some observers said a GNU can only work if <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Nelson_Chamisa">Nelson Chamisa</a>, leader of the newly-formed Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) is the president of that government. Said one commentator: 
<blockquote>
CCC will have the presidency first kana zvisizvo ngazvigare (besides that, there is no deal) who cares about it anyway what’s key is <a class="link-complex" data-user-name="nelsonchamisa" href="https://twitter.com/nelsonchamisa/" rel="noopener user" target="_blank">@nelsonchamisa</a> is president GNU performance will be key around who is president that’s the measure and guarantee of its success.
</blockquote>
The possibility of having another GNU started following the ouster of former President, the late Robert Mugabe in 2017.
ZANU PF later ruled out that set-up and instead called for elections in 2018. 
Opposition MDC Alliance then led by Nelson Chamisa rejected the outcome of the presidential election claiming that ZANU PF had connived with the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission and manipulated results in favour of President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The political crisis that ensued prompted some to argue that a GNU could be the best way forward, however, both ZANU PF and MDC Alliance refused to have a powersharing deal with each side saying it had won the election, therefore, should lead.
A previous GNU was formed in 2009 between ZANU PF and two MDC formations (MDC-T and MDC-N) and lasted till 2013 when ZANU PF won the elections.
The economy stabilised during that era, owing to a number of factors including the adoption of a multicurrency system shortly before the GNU and cash flow through donations from the international community.

Exiled former Tourism and Hospitality Minister, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Walter_Mzembi">Dr Walter Mzembi</a>, has said Zimbabwe is back to the 2009 <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Government_of_National_Unity">Government of National Unity (GNU)</a> era when then Finance and Economic Development Minister, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Tendai_Biti">Tendai Biti</a>, paid all civil servants US$100 as hyperinflation wreaked havoc.
He speaks as described as the incumbent Finance Minister, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mthuli_Ncube">Professor Mthuli Ncube</a>, recently announced monetary benefits for government workers. 
Ncube announced a 20 per cent increase in the Zimbabwe Dollar salary component backdated to 1 January 2022 and a USD100, per month in the hard currency for every civil servant with effect from the 1st of March 2022. 
He also said this will be done through the conversion of a corresponding Zimbabwe dollar salary amount into hard currency, bringing the foreign currency amount to USD175. 
Ncube made the announcement amid protests by civil servants who are demanding that the government restore their 2018 salaries when they earned about US$540.
In response to the announcement, Mzembi said the development was unacceptable. Pindula News presents Mzembi’s response:

Mzembi: We're Back To 2009 GNU When Biti Paid Us All $100

Former Minister of War Veterans, Tshinga Dube has said political elites must put their differences aside and unite for a common cause – solving the political and socio-economic crises in the country.
Dube made the remarks while speaking to Daily News reporter Jeffrey Muvundusi in an interview on Tuesday.
His remarks come when the economic and humanitarian crisis in the country has worsened since the imposition of the lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus.
There have also been increased reports of human rights violations against members of the opposition MDC lately. Below are excerpts from the interview.
<blockquote>I am one of those who have been calling for the Government of National Unity, not because there is a vacancy for them but I feel it will make us focus on running the economy only, instead of spending so much time fighting and squabbling over politics.
All these things we are hearing about abductions and torture are caused by divisions and they affect the reputation of our country.
So if they (politicians) can come together all this will be over and we don’t lose anything as a nation.
But there are some people in government who feel that maybe if this GNU comes into effect, they will lose their positions.</blockquote>

Former Minister Calls For A GNU

Advocate Nelson Chamisa, the president of the opposition MDC has said that his party, during the Government of National Unity (2009-2013) proved that it has the capacity to deliver the much-needed transformation.
We present below excerpts from Chamisa’s article which featured in <a href="https://newzwire.live/opinion-zimbabwe-has-a-tragic-failure-of-leadership-but-it-is-not-beyond-redemption-by-nelson-chamisa/">newZWire’s Opinion, Guest Column section</a>.
<blockquote>Proven record
The Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) has proven its capacity to deliver real change. Our capacity to deliver has been second-guessed many times by those who chose the route of appeasement. The reality is that our country did better when the MDC was in Government, and in charge of the Ministry of Finance.
When we entered the Government of National Unity (GNU) in 2009, inflation had reached 500 billion percent. By the time the GNU ended in 2013, inflation was just 1.63%. As soon as ZANU-PF was left to run the economy alone, inflation started rising. Annual inflation is now well over 500%, and rising.
In 2012, a teacher was earning US$300. It was not much, but they could afford to send their children to school. Today, that same teacher is earning less than US$100. They cannot afford the bus fare to class, and can no longer send their own children to school.
Before GNU, the economy had shrunk by 16.5% in 2008. Under GNU, the economy grew by 5.4% in 2009, 11.4% in 2010, 9.3% in 2011, and 10.6% in 2012. As soon as GNU ended, the economy grew just 2.4% in 2014. In 2019, the economy fell 7.5%.   
These are the facts.</blockquote>
