Zimbabwe Stares at Bright Future

By Eric Sande 

Johannesburg, South Africa---Zimbabwe is currently on the brink to cross to constancy as tangible progress is made by the two principals. Inflation rate now running into single digits and 7 percent growth was expected for the country this year. This is not left with elements of ramp as the principals still can not eat from the same table.

Speaking at the "The Future of Zimbabwe Summit" in Johannesburg, hosted by the Economist, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai said, "The progress is tangible. There are medicines in the hospitals, food in the supermarkets and water in the taps. But the madness has not been completely eradicated. We are in a coalition and that is difficult. I share the frustration that the pace of reforms is slow, but the pace is realistic when you consider where we've come from."

Tsvangirai’s focus was on a chain of poor handling of policies that are in place to keep the previous regime in power. This was in reference to the power-sharing agreement between his party, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) and President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF, which came into being in February 2009, following a run-off election in June 2008.
