Vice President Kembo Mohadi has subtly admitted that the government of Zimbabwe is being run by soldiers whom he described as the best managers with a proven record worldwide.

Mohadi made the remarks last week while commissioning a new bridge in Chirumhanzu, Midlands province.

“What we failed to achieve 38 years ago, we have done it. Maybe it goes to the fact that the people that are at the helm now in the presidium were once in the military high command,” Mohadi said.

“We are all soldiers. If you want the best manager, it has been proven worldwide that you get a soldier.”

Since the beginning of the new dispensation, Zimbabwe has witnessed an unprecedented number of people being arrested and charged with treason, something that could explain what Mohadi was trying to say.
