MP Matewu Condemns Budget’s Impact: Declining Agriculture Hurts Workers and Citizens (video)

The 21% decline in basically the production in agriculture speaks volume to the budget because of the budget is based on agriculture. That is the main component of which this country as economy subsists on and you can see that the 3.8% economy growth that is envisaged for Sub-Saharan Africa. Yet Zimbabwe was only envisaged a 2% growth as a country, it means that we are going backwards. At the beginning of the year we had actually projected a growth of almost up to 5% of the economy, but there has been that reduction which came because we are not really putting the Zig to test. So the Zig is there and is being controlled at a certain percentage, but it means that we cannot trade with the Zig because there is no test to it.
