The controversial former MDC legislator who is also MDC (Mutambara)’s Secretary for defence and Security is quoted saying,MDC and ZANU should set aside their differences and work towards finding a lasting solution to the challenges facing the nation.

The MDC led by Morgan Tsvangirai together with other respected Economic analyists have already dismissed Gono ’s monetary policy

“The MDC believes that no amount of tinkering with currency denominations will address the Zimbabwean crisis,” the party’s secretary for economic affairs Elton Mangoma, MDC-Makoni East., said in a statement.

“As long as there is no production, we will continue to move in circles as a country.”
