Jane Mlambo| With the new year a few hours away, President Emmerson Mnangagwa dreams of a change in fortunes though he is ignorant that fundamentals needed to kick start the economy including his own legitimacy and dialogue are not in place,

 In his New Year address to the nation,  Mnangagwa said 2019 will have immense opportunities and if people are united nothing will be insurmountable.

According to ZBC, the country managed to accomplish significant milestones.

“The value of good governance and integrity are key pillars in the socio economic development agenda of the country, thus 2019 must mark a turning point and innovative approaches are called for,” said Mnangagwa.

Mnangagwa is spearheading the Vision 2030 that aims at transforming Zimbabwe into an upper middle economy by the year 2030 but is facing a legitimacy crisis that has soiled his reputation as a reformist.

This could throw all his economic revival plans in smoke as investors continue to shy away from putting their money in a country marred by political uncertainities.
