Patrick Chinamasa signs a loan agreement with the Chinese ambassador today.
China has played a major role in propping up the Mugabe dictatorship in the last 37 years and they are clearly determined to continue. We are desperately fighting for meaningful democratic changes in Zimbabwe and we are not just fight the Zanu PF dictatorship but the dictatorship’s principle sponsor, the Chinese. The Chinese are not the long suffering people of Zimbabwe’s friend but their arch-enemy.
The deal China is signing with Mnangagwa is not about building roads and hospitals, that is the cover, it is to supply the Zanu PF dictatorship with all it needs to ensure “Zanu PF ichatonga! Igotonga!” (Zanu PF will rule! And rule!) as Mnangagwa is found of boasting!
I can understand why the people DRC staged demonstrations against the Chinese national in their country; Zimbabweans must now wake up to the reality that the Chinese are the modern day colonialists who brought our forefathers shiny beads and alcohol in exchange for our ivory, diamonds, enslaved blacks, etc. The Chinese are robing us blind of our diamonds and other resources and they are smart enough to know as long as Zanu PF remain in power they will continue the looting paying the Zanu PF crooks a fraction of the true value of the loot.
Whatever China spends in propping up Mnangagwa we can be certain that they will recover all of it 100 or 1000 fold and with such humongous returns at stake it is no surprise that China is going all out to make sure there will never be democracy in Zimbabwe. If we want democracy in Zimbabwe we will have to the Chinese, Zanu PF are just their proxy puppet.
Please present facts and figures to back up your assertions. Every country in the world has trade partners and loan facilities come with the territory of economic turn-aounds and development.
Secondly, it is always progressive to present a challenge as well as solutions. What’s your solution in this case?
It will be reasonable if the chinese were bringing in fdi not loans thats just pushing us more deep into debt
Many of these deals are going to be cut in the coming weeks, month and year with diverse nations. The “Agreements is on Economic and Technical Cooperation” and “Framework Agreement for the Concessional Loan Agreement”. Patrick and Zimbabweans let us do our research and task our legislators to take up these agreements on an informed platform in Parliament.
