Zimbabwe is on an inexorable and unstoppable economic and political trajectory that will definitely lead to prosperity, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has claimed.

The country, he said, is like a train that has left the station and those that have taken the chance to board will likely reap huge rewards.

He also called on the United States government to remove “illegal, spiteful and completely unjustified sanctions on our country, which continue to violate basic human rights of our people”.

Addressing thousands of mourners yesterday at the National Heroes Acre during the burial of national hero Brigadier-General Emilio Munemo, the President said his administration will continue to deepen sound economic and political reforms to complement the ongoing engagement and re-engagement drive.

Brig-Gen Munemo died on Sunday last week after a short illness.
He was 64.
In his eulogy, President Mnangagwa said: “Zimbabwe is a train on the move. We cannot be derailed, we cannot be stopped. Let us march forward ever, backward never. Victory is certain, our prosperity is inevitable.” State media
