Year Rule: Robert Mugabe and Food Prices

year rule: Food prices have soared, according to The Guardian. The immediate cause of the crisis was the introduction of a new tax on electronic transactions, but its roots lie in the 37-year rule of Robert Mugabe, Energy Mutodi, the deputy information minister, said. In recent days, some vital commodities have become scarce, with motorists in Harare, the capital, spending a night in their cars in queues outside petrol stations, supermarkets rationing purchases or shutting entirely, and chemists unable to provide some basic medicines. The new 2% levy is intended to raise revenue from the vast informal sector that has mushroomed in recent decades. We are now in a new dispensation so there are a number of economic issues we need to correct. This is an economy that is dealing with the legacy of Mugabe. (news.financializer.com).
