HARARE – Vice President Constantino Chiwenga has issued a sharp critique of ‘newly’ wealthy Zimbabweans who are seemingly aligned to President Emmerson Mnangagwa, questioning their spending priorities and urging them to channel their resources toward productive investments that support national development. Addressing supporters recently, Chiwenga challenged affluent citizens who he said had accumulated significant wealth but were failing to reinvest it domestically. “Some people wake up saying, ‘I am now rich, I now have money,’” he said.
“Why don’t they build factories for people to get employment from that money if it’s excessive?” He further expressed concern over what he described as wasteful or unproductive displays of wealth among sections of the elite. Chiwenga coupled his remarks with a firm warning against over reliance on external capital, arguing that foreign investors could not be expected to drive Zimbabwe’s development.
