JOHANNESBURG – A top official from Zimbabwe’s governing party, the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front , says a meeting with the African National Congress will focus on issues of mutual interest and there was no crisis in the country.
Despite the anger of Zimbabwe’s opposition over a worsening national crisis, state media in Zimbabwe maintains this is a solidarity meeting. ZANU-PF’s Obert Mpofu has told the Herald newspaper that both the ANC and ZANU-PF are at risk from colonial infiltrators - following criticism from Western nations.There has been growing anger at the arrest of those critical of the government and economic conditions in the country.
In a bid to show it’s serious about cost-cutting, President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government has announced it’ll no longer foot overseas hospital bills for top officials – but that won’t be enough to calm growing anger.
