PRESIDENT Mnangagwa is presiding over a dispensation of pragmatism, inclusivity, and citizen-centric governance that has departed from years of economic decline and international isolation, triggering an economic boom.
This is detailed in a 262-page book titled “Standing Against Illegal Sanctions,” launched by the President on Saturday at the Museum of African Liberation Village during Sadc Anti-Sanctions Day commemorations.
The book, edited by the director of International Communication Services in the Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Dr Richard Mahomva, Professor Paul Mapfumo, and Mr Tawanda Zinyama, documents how the Second Republic under President Mnangagwa has repositioned Zimbabwe onto the global stage through progressive, people-oriented policies and pragmatic diplomacy.
The book chronicles how the President, since taking the reins in 2017, has heralded a paradigm shift in Zimbabwe’s domestic and foreign policy.
His mantra, “Zimbabwe is Open for Business,” symbolised a break from the past and an invitation to global investors, development partners, and the diaspora community to be part of Zimbabwe’s economic renaissance.
Chapter 13 of the book, titled “Zimbabwe’s Second Republic: A Dispensation of Pragmatism, Inclusivity, and Citizen-Centric Approaches,” underscores this transformation.
“President Mnangagwa’s epoch-defining clarion call, ‘Zimbabwe is Open for Business,’ marked the end of the country’s nearly two-decade-long isolationist foreign policy trajectory. This open-minded and pragmatic perspective of engaging all friendly nations has repositioned Zimbabwe as a partner of choice in Africa and beyond.
