Developing story
President Mugabe has reportedly told Reserve Governor Gideon that he should start preparing to vacate his office as his dismissal is part of the conditions of an economic rescue package from SADC.
The move contradicts Mugabe ‘s remarks in an interview with the state TV that Gono will be allowed to remain in his position. Mr. Mugabe said he would not reverse his appointments of Reserve Bank Governor Gideon Gono and Attorney General Johannes Tomana.
“I do not see any reason why those people should go and they will not go,” he said.
Gono has been criticized in many quarters including SADC economists for fueling hyperinflation by printing money in vast quantities to fund government operations.
Foreign and Finance ministers of the 15-member Southern African Development Community (SADC) ended a two day conference yesterday promising to “pursue measures in support of Zimbabwe’s economic recovery program.”
They said SADC heads of state would meet to discuss the financing proposals submitted by Zimbabwe, but the date will be determined by how swift Mugabe moves to show evidence of reform and commitment.
At a meeting last week with Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, South Africa’s president promised that the SADC ministers would finalize a package by the end of this week, saying that South African and the region should set an example in helping the stricken country.
Finance minister, Tendai Biti, attended the ministerial meeting in Cape Town and asked for $2 billion — half for emergency spending on schools, health care and infrastructure, and the rest on economic revival measures. Biti’s proposals were well received by his regional peers.
“We are all, as SADC, determined to help Zimbabwe mobilize the resources,” said South African Foreign Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.
“But, I can’t guarantee how much will be raised … the economic environment globally is difficult, so we will do our best.”
Dlamini-Zuma said the regional bloc would lobby for “the normalization of Zimbabwe” at the International Monetary Fund and the lifting of political and financial sanctions against it.

whatever we fire and hire everyday it dosen’t bother me,next move is to fire tswangirai the useleess p r i ck.

Come guys, lets elevate the level of this conversation.
it seems that Mr Mugabe is having to come to terms with the fact that the old game is over – kabanga ! At 85 it is time that the old made way for the new. Trying to protect old cronies will eventually fail as the tide of history is against the undemocratic elements within Zanu PF.
Nobody wants to return to a pre independence arrangement but let’s face it, at the moment the expertise in farming lies with the white comercial farmers. Forget the past but let those farmers back to get the agricultural sector going again. Couple this with a sensible land redistribution programme and training scheme that will see the black farmers running the agricultural sector once a sustainable level of competence has been reached. Whatever you do, do not let cronyism play any part in the rebirth of agriculture.
As for Gono, wave him goodbye joyously.

John Smith. We all know what is the correct thing to do in Zimbabwe to put the country back on its feet again,but so long as those zanu idiots are in government, whether on their own or in a GNU there is no chance what so ever of the correct thing being achieved.They will continue to forcefuly remove every white farmer in Zimbabwe and then move on to every white or foreign owned company including the mines.Their ultimate plan is to take the country to a point of no return.bob the baboon knows full well that he and his zanu idiots do not have long left to go and so they want to make sure that there is nothing left to take over.They are going to destroy everything.In the past,anything that they have touched has been destroyed. What makes you think that they will change? bob the baboon knows that if the MDC get control they will show the world how useless these zanu idiots are by bringing this country back to life and becoming the bread basket that it was before these useless zanu fools took over.This will be very embarrassing for the old baboon and his troop of monkeys.

Gono was a goner long ago. Whether Mugabe fires him or not. I’m sure sure he’s had his bags packed for the far east long ago. What was he doing there recently, having holiday? Hardly, he was sorting out his finances and looking for digs. This man is amongst the world’s biggest looters, and simply, there is no room for people like that in the Zimababwe government any longer.

gono gudo remhunu like his boss mugabe he should go as he has caused so much confusion in the Zimbabwean economy and printing money to fund party politics (zanupigs). We will never miss him and he should go far from Zim maybe to his bosses house in the East since he bought it with government funds.
MERIT gudo where was Tsvangilayi at the fools pary in Chihnoi, you zanu supporters were making so much noise that he will attend. You have egg in your face shame, our Prime Minister will never attend a party when the country is decaying and join those responsible for that decay. I listened to mugabe making so much noise about land grabs that they want to persue, dictactorships like these are not going to improve the situation on the ground. mugabe is trash rubbist he needs to stay there in Chihnoi and not go back to state house.

I do not blame this paper for speculating gono’s derpature, anything that will fuel pressure is welcome on people like gono. It is true that gono said he will resign and mugabe forced him back to the seat otherwise he was going to have a funny accident and die as they say zanu ndeeropa. Anger should be vented on zanu thugs who are stealing and making wrong policies that decay zimbabwe’s economy. Pasi neZanu, who will stand as the presidential candidate for zanu in the elections that mugabe is talking about in 2 years time??????

It’s funny, or is it? I have just read a few of Mr Mugabe’s comments that he made at his 85th birthday bash. It’s as if he thinks that after the interim period, Zanu PF will be back in the saddle again as sole rider. If that happens then the country will regress once again.
How long can an eighty five year old be allowed to carry on? In your new constitution you need to outlaw life term presidency with a maximum two term limit and no provision to ever change that. Any more than two terms leads to entrenchment and the concomitant corruption that goes with it.
