Embattled Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe governor Gideon Gono says he will step down at the end of his term next month and will not seek to be re-appointed.
“I know one thing for certain, this governor shall not serve one day longer than he is allowed by his principals,”Gono told delegates to the just-ended Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) congress.
MDC secretary general Tendai Biti who is highly tipped to take over as Minister of Finance in the new all inclusive government early this year blamed Gono for Zimbabwe’s economic woes.
“Gono is the number one enemy of this country, not inflation,” Biti,MDC-Harare East said. “He has been stoking the fires of inflation through quasi-fiscal activities.
Banker and senior MDC official Elton Mangoma who could be appointed Minister of Economic Planning and Investment Promotion is a vocal critic of the central bank chief and called Gono’s recent monetary policy statement, inconsequential “tinkering” with the symptoms of the problem.
Sources speculated that Gono will likely be replaced by deputy governor, Edward Mashiringwani as acting governor until a suitable replacement is found.
The theme for this year’s CZI congress was “Economic Policy, Industrialisation, Agriculture, Economic Policies and Infrastructure Development”.
“CZI believes in the free enterprise system and with strong, well focused policies, as the only way of restoring viability and the return to the economic growth path, hence the objective is to use this congress to come up with strategies and concrete policy proposals on industrialisation, agriculture, economic policies and infrastructure development,” the CZI said in a statement announcing the congress dates last week.

You can go to hell for all we care gono, I think the best job you can do now is to be the manager of your masters finances mugabe and make sure his kids school fees and rates are paid in time that is what your intelligence can comprehend not the reserve bank thanks for going its time for serious people to take over the reserve bank of Zimbabwe. If this job is not challenging enough another portfolio can be added to book bus tickets for chihuri to travel to SA to get ARVs or you can become a bank teller. I hope you will learn one or two things from the MDC team under the guidance of the new finance minister T Biti. This has been long overdue gono should have been fired a long time ago this guy is clueless on his job. THANKS FOR GOING DOFO.

One thing that keeps coming back to my mind each time the name Gon is raised is, remember this other day when the guvnor was live on TV and questions being fireed by journalists. The guy exhibited his utter ignorance and shallow mindedness as he couldn’t respond convincingly questions to do with his day to day job. He is very much used to just reading prepared scripts by other people. He is duft.

At least one good news from Zim metro i also read the story in the Herald. Interesting the herald says he did some good things by helping some ministries and they also mention food parcels and that he helped the economy from complete collapsy, what bull. There is no economy in Zim it collapsed way back. This means the Herald does not know what they are talking about.Thanks God they can at least se it collapsing.I think its the only issue of Herald that does not talk about Morgan for a change, things are really changing for worse or better then its for us to judge.My friend was in Zim the other day and he was telling me that you find elders crying because of hunger let alone children. Things are bad Gents. I was planning to visit Zim during the christimus holidays but i have changed my mind as i cannot stand the face of those hungry people. My heart is paining if i think of them.Its sad. This guy says those who are rich become more rich and the poor more poor.A bucket of meal-melie cost R500. Teachers dont even earn that money.Where as in SA lowest paid security guards earn well over R2000. We need change in Zim today if we are to serve people’s lives.Its time to come together and say no to this regime time is up.

well the man is hinourable and he has decided to step down because his term is over.Why should you rant on about nothing. He did the best he could under very difficult circumstances. Any governor who can keep the economy ticking the way he did under these sanctions has my support. No one could have done any better.In the west their economies are in free fall yet they have abundances of wealth around them. they have lost trillions through mismanagement and heads should have rolled. they should call up gono once his term is over here.
now instead of wasting time talking about gono leaving , why dont you start talking about who should take over instead of pursuing politics of the dead.tell us why you think that person should be allowed to step in? nothing political but just the best man for the job.
Any ideas?

Which economy is scarface talking about Zimbabwe has no economy, if it has then they must stop using American $ and British pounds. All these currences are legal in Zim except the Zim dollar Hahahahahahah.If police find you with some Zim dollars you can go to jail for years. You give them chinees currency they wont take it but give them currency from the West they will lough till they get to the nearest boarder gate. Oh what fools. I which i could see these hungry police and soulders shame on them when they beat people what did they think. Chino mhururuka chinomara. Ahehehe Mugabeland. whats interesting is Mugabe will soon die what then will happen to Grace? Does Mugabe has children gents? Or he left them in Malawi. Zimbabwe will be free so the whole Africa will folllow suit. In Sa we will see a new party formed in December if it was in Zim they would all be in jail by now. I know sarface’s face is red with anger coz he wants SA to do like what Zim has done to the opposition sorry my brother there is democracy on this side of the boarder. Instead there will be tight security guarding the guys who will be forming their party. Stupid Zim police with no education except degrees in violance. They dont even have proper uniform Morgan will soon do away with those a overalls they call uniform. Morgan cannot be guarded by people wearing such a uniform that resembles Mugabeland.

iwe harare how did you escape the xenophobic violence? this new party will cause confusion. i like this idea of a new party in south africa but in africa democracy is slightly different from the west. give africans too much of it and you end up with chaos. Its just th way it is- africans and pure democracy do not go together. mugabe understands this and i used to wonder why. Look at the state of the media in the diaspora- this lot if allowed to run rampant in zimbabwe will cause too much civil disobedience and social unrest . In africa news should always be sensored esp western run media as they will try to impose their way of like on us.
South africa is a ticking time bomb until those blacks have been handed their land back and have equal stake in the economy with the imperialists.Why equal they should actually have 51% of the stake in their economy.why do you think they attacked you during xenophobic violence? yes they dont have anything and they blame you for taking their wealth yet they have no guts to claim it from the imperialists.
zimbabwe needs to reach a settlement so we can start rebuilding. There is no need to keep talking about the talks that never end.One way or the other we need to conclude this miserable deal. If all fails lets do a congo and may the best team win.
gono you have been a zimbabwean champion- thank you.even the IMF is printing money now and yet they criticise you.You did what you had to do to survive and keep our country breathing-god has punished those who imposed sanctions on your country.,shame on them..

“Mugabe’s political behaviour since 1999 when he lost the referendum has become simply comparable to that of a mad man at a grinding mill or business centre who never runs out of options, abruptly decides to take off his clothes in front of everyone or shouts at everyone minus himself without an inch of shame, Scarface’s father. Scarface your days are numbered my brother. As for xenophobia my friend i have been in South Africa from 1985. I have children who are Police officers in SA my own from Zim, two joined me in 2000 when Mugabe started his madness so this explains itself. I have businesses in SA my friend. I only follow Zim situation because i was born there and i like the country. Wena you are just a stupid blind idiot who follows Mugabe blindly and can even suck his **** if he had one. I have never came across such a moroon person like you in my life. almost everyone needs change but you seem to differ i just wonder what you get from your mad boss. But one thing for sure guys know you. you will one day answer for all these stupid comments you have been posting, because you are stupid and blind you dont see this coming. wait and see.

Idiot scarface signing the deal is not an issue and you like to talk about democracy in Africa being different, there is only one defination of democracy and its applicable everywhere worldwide. Signing the deal was a sad attempt by SADC to bring stability to the region, the truth of the matter is that Zimbabweans voted mugabe out of power in March 2008. Don’t even talk about policies of the MDC becuase the zanu policies have brought the country to its knees.

Does biti have enough balls to advise morgan not to go? marombe evanhu- personally i think mdc need a new leader because morgan is as good as a dogs poo.This party is a waste of time and mdc supporters must be fed up of morgan by now. lets see who will win- morgan or biti. what do you mdc supporters want ? morgan to attend or not? I bet you are confused as always because no matter what your needs may be morgan will do whatever he wants anyway.

as you know every gvt needs tea boys etc and in zanu its no different. we send our kids to universities in zim and overseas and we are not ashamed. however there are those with no education who may have to work as tea boys because they have nothing else to do. As you know in zimbabwe education is king and unless you have 5 o levels that include english and maths life becomes unbearable.So this is morgan’s only opportunity to get a job as a tea boy requiring no o levels at this stage. The longer he takes to accept this offer the more dificult it will become in the future to get a job. He might end up on the unemployment list of 85% unless He becomes mcgees cardy full time…

Today i can only cash $50000 a day. What does 50000 buy. A loaf of bread cpsts $100000. 50000 wont even buy a toilet roll. This in itself shows your stupid policies. I need money dailey for bus fare, milk, bread, food. Where do i get it from if i have to spend hours daily to get on 50000.

Hello all, This is one heated debate. An outside view, if it may be permitted. Giving people a bucketing is fun, but does not feed the kids. Plant food now, may I suggest? Everyone, everywhere, and in as wide a variety of food types as possible. On footpaths, on vacant land, on roofs, if you have to. Sprouts first, then veggies, then food trees. Neglected food trees, if fertilised and watered, can sometimes give the quickest food. I was a guest in Zim years back, fine country, very fine people, just lots of bad advice. Gotta eat first. Time to take off the tie and get the hoe working? Have been growing much of my food for 20 years now, also planting food trees along all the public roads here. Have asked the PM here to send aid food, seed and fertiliser, maybe, but don’t hold your breath. We prefer, as a nation, to spend our money killing the citizens of Afghanistan, though we can’t remember why.
Good luck all, and try stay peaceful. Scrapping will only make this worse, see history. Can’t send you food myself, sorry, but am trying to get food and treated seed parcels sent from all over the world, to the Zim post offices, for the workers there first, then for whoever. Help set it up, if you can. Email p.s.ravenscroft@gmail.com

PS 1) Bone ash is 10 percent phosphorus, essential for fertiliser, and 2) muslin or other very fine cloth will filter out cholera bacteria, which are large. (1-5 microns) If no fine cloth, can use most roadside clay with 10 percent crushed charcoal included to make small filter pots in an ordinary fire. That will filter the bacteria out. Some effort will probably protect your family. Tell the neighbours.

Scarface you are a sick person mentally challenged and blind to any form of reasoning. In case I awaken you, Mugabe and Zanu pf and Gono are not supposed to be holding any office in Zimbabwe. If they were an honest people they should have resigned a long time ago. They are a pathetic lot. Now MDC had to form a GNU as response to the damage your so called Patriotic people have caused. A bunch of thugs who can not have enough and have also got nowhere to go. AS for GONO he should be banned from working with money or any institute which handles money. Probably work in the farming fields. Scarface please just remain silent your words are very useless so forever remain silent and in piece.. What ever the truly beautiful dream of Zimbabwe and Zimbabweans is one democratic country without Mugabe and Zanu PF and Gono and You Scarface. Imagine one day there is no more Mugabe and Zanu PF what a wonderful Zimbabwe it will be and not forgetting also without Jonathan Moyo and the Mahosos and all these of same minds. Zimbabwe will be free and democracy will flourish.
