Zimbabwe And Zambia Are Siamese Twins - Muswere
9 months agoMon, 17 Jun 2024 06:41:06 GMT
Zimbabwe has good relations with its neighbours, including Zambia, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister, Jenfan Muswere, has said.
Addressing the media after last week’s Cabinet meeting, Muswere dismissed reports that relations between Zimbabwe and Zambia were strained. He said:
Our international relations are governed by our engagement and re-engagement policy and we are a friend to all and enemy to none.
Zambia is our neighbour and a geographical reality with a long history from the days of the Federation all the way to the liberation struggle when we worked together. We are Siamese twins.
Muswere’s comments came after President Emmerson Mnangagwa criticised Zambia and Malawi’s relations with Western countries during a meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
In a recent meeting with Putin at Konstantino Palace ahead of the 27th St Petersburg International Economic Forum, Mnangagwa claimed Zambia and Malawi have accepted the West’s alleged machinations to isolate Zimbabwe.
Mnangagwa also accused Zambia of allowing the United States of America to establish a military base in the country, a claim that Lusaka has dismissed as false. He said:
You see, the West has just begun consolidating its power in Zambia, our next neighbour. You know, there was a time when Zambia and Zimbabwe were one; it was called Northern and Southern Rhodesia.
It was made one by the British, but they are now separate. And the Americans are consolidating their power in that country, both in terms of security and in terms of financial support to Zambia to make sure that we feel lonely.
But that will not change us, because we have taken a course as a people that we feel we want to be independent and we will choose our friends ourselves…
We cannot go to the West; we have to come here because the West would want to see us down. They support our neighbours, Zambia and Malawi, very heavily.
But in spite of that, Zimbabwe’s economic growth is the fastest growing economy in the region, in spite of us being isolated by the Americans.

@ anonymous why do you insist on calling me sister when I clearly told you I am not a female....are you out of your marbles or are you that much of an unabashed blockhead...It is the great Satan not great Satanist learn to read probably you clearly demented newt...How can you compare me the paragon of black excellence and the harbinger of change to a literal nation built on the backs of slavery and genocide...Go and get your head examined...
According to the World Bank which you clearly crave so much Zim has a nominal GDP of $31 billion while Zambia has one of $26.7 billion.. Furthermore GDP per Capita of Zim is $2100 when compared to $1500 for Zambia ..While I greatly loathe the use of GDP as a parameter of economic growth I have put it out there inorder to show the fallacies and inadequacy of your argument earlier on...
How am I dividing countries here you clearly have a victim complex and an allergy for the truth I see...I have never advocated for tense relations between Zim and Zambia get your facts straight...I refuse to believe Zambia is doing better than Zim except in newspapers and newsrooms not on the actual ground....If Zambia was doing well how come most Zambians are fed up with HH and are demanding change..How come HH is slowly turning tyrannical inorder to consolidate his power...
Am curious why do you refer to me as sister Khan?

@ anonymous you know damn well I am not a sister and your disingenuous pity party you throwing is not going to fly...I can only assume that you have the bare minimum knowledge of gender roles hence you should know Lord is a masculine term and not a feminine one...Why would you call a man sister unless you trying to be a misogynist or you one of those that believe the false notion that I am gay...I do not have an unwavering or irrational desire to be correct as I am always correct...I simply pointed out the fallacies of using two different institutions to make a comparison between Zimbabwe and Zambia yet you are out here playing the victim card..I might not be an erudite in economics but I do know that use of GDP as a marker of economic strength is an old and increasingly obsolete method of measuring economic growth...Compare the GDP per Capita between the two countries, the strength of the stock exchanges, the level of industrial output etc and then come back to me....Check out YouTube channels like Economic Explained or Megaeconomics not clinging on to archaic methods of measuring economic growth... Furthermore do not assume that your clearly obsolete AI that you used to find your so called "evidence" is correct...Are you a woman and if so that would make you my sibling instead of a fellow sister...I have never abused anyone please stop using crass and uncouth language to describe the verbal put down I dish upon the unwashed masses ..
Great Satanist ?? I call America the Great Satan as first stated by the Ayatollah himself as he saw first hand what America does to nations who offer their hand...I am Lord Khan and your tears hydrate me

You do not seem to see the similarities between your self and the great satanist America
You claim to know everything just like them
And you use the tears of others to hydrate yourself like they do
You use big words and tirades to disguise and mask your devious ways in the same way the great satanist does
Now you are going in circles trying to justify the fact that you are wrong
that is the great pity here sister khan
There is in fact very little to prove that Zambia is better than Zimbabwe or vice versa
In fact we are very similar in many ways and equally powerful African nations although Zambia may be doing slightly better than Zimbabwe for the moment
The Zimbabwean juggernaut is gathering steam and moving in the right direction
exactly like the great satanist you want to divide us as Africans and make yourself seem superior
As the mighty Zambezi flows between the 2 great nations it unites us as one
I suggest you go and take a dip in that majestic river and play with the crocodiles and hippos you may have better results over there

@ anonymous I really do not have to reply to you since you are a blatant misogynist who thinks calling someone "sister" is a roast in the year of our Lord 2024....You are clueless bonehead who I should not even bless you with a Khan tirade...Those " figures " you raising as a part of your argument are from the exact George Soros led organisations which have a blatant bias towards to Zimbabwe.. Secondly why quote two different organisations when making comparisons this is basically comparing oranges and apples...When making a comparison you dolt you quote figures from the same organization i.e. World Bank for both countries not just picking different organisations like the AFDB and WB and then jumping to unfounded conclusions...It seems you went straight to a shîtty AI in the vain attempt of making yourself look like a semi decent human when in actual facts you are a puny homonculi not worth my time...You must have graduated from the same voodoo economics school Tendai Biti and Mugano went to.....🤣🤣🤣 AfDB and WB estimates and then puffing your chest as if you know any better..I do not have to teach you how to make comparisons for I am not a crappy teacher...I guess it must be difficult for your one brain cell to make discernable statements since most of your time is spent being an unapologetic misogynist and bellend not worth my time... Lord Khan is better than you and you know it

@ ❌ that is no propaganda but objective truth that can be verified via several fact checking websites... Zimbabwe is doing extremely well and much better than the much vaunted Zambia...You on the other hand seem to be brainwashed by Western propaganda carefully constructed in the Jeff Bezos's newspapers in conjunction with George Soros....I am Lord Khan and I approve this message

Sister Khan please explain how Zim is doing better than Zambia maybe you mean in soccer or beauty of citizens ><
Currently, Zambia's economy is projected to be performing slightly better than Zimbabwe's.
Zambia
GDP Growth: Projected to grow 4.0% in 2023 and 4.2% in 2024 [African Development Bank Group]
Challenges: Drought, fluctuating copper prices, high fiscal deficit
Zimbabwe
GDP Growth: Estimates vary, but generally lower than Zambia's. The World Bank forecasts 2.8% growth in 2023 [World Bank]
Challenges: High inflation, currency instability
both countries face economic headwinds. However, based on growth projections, Zambia seems to be in a slightly better position at the moment.

Calm down armchair generals and fake international relations expert...Until the day the respective ambassadors are chased away from respective embassies then you can pound the alarm...The Minister is just stating the obvious that Zim and Zambia are still on good diplomatic terms despite the latter's clearly insatiable thirst for the Great Satan.... ED was just giving friendly advice to our clearly revisionist neighbors to the North who seem to have forgotten the atrocities committed by the Great Satan...Zim has a vibrant economy characterised by a bullish stock exchange and positive economic growth rate... Despite the vile sanctions imposed by a clearly neurotic and demented superpower hell-bent on playing Emperor of the world Zimbabwe has stood firm... Zimbabwe is doing better than Zambia in all growth metrics and there is no debate on that...Zambia's "economic miracle" is only the creation of overzealous liberal newsrooms that seek to demonize the great nation of Zimbabwe...It is only in Jeff Bezos's newspapers where the Zambia's economy is growing not on the actual ground...I know plenty of Zambians that are mourning about the economy and lamenting about how HH's poor governance and thirst to be the new uncle Tom has brought nothing but disaster to the populace...Do not be phased by the lies peddled around by sensationalists and amateur activists Zambia's economy has stagnated while Zimbabwe' s economy has grown...The massive influx of FDI by our new partners from the East such as Russia , China and Iran is only going to foster even more Economic growth while the stooges from the North only get false growth in the column inches of Bloomberg...I am Lord Khan , I am better than you and you know it

Lord Khan - While I understand your pride in Zimbabwe's progress, focusing solely on competition with Zambia ignores the bigger picture. Both Russia and America have a history of foreign policy failures that often come at the expense of the very nations they claim to help. Imagine the strength we'd have if Africa focused on unity instead of playing into external rivalries.
Zambia is OUR neighbour, not a competitor. Historically, Zimbabwe and Zambia have been strong partners. We have been able to develop solutions together, building a strong Southern Africa through regional trade and collaboration. Let's focus on being the masters of our own destinies, fostering a vibrant, Afrocentric future for the entire continent. You also underestimate the intellect of our leaders on the diplomatic stage - trust me they know exactly what the Americans and Russians want from us - Diplomacy is the art of navigating international relations, and Zimbabwe and Zambia's current interactions could be diplomatic posturing meant to appease both Western and Eastern powers.

"But in spite of that, Zimbabwe’s economic growth is the fastest growing economy in the region, in spite of us being isolated by the Americans."
These guys must learn to be serious. You CANNOT by any stretch of imagination say Zimbabwe's economy is the fastest growing in the region, unless of course if you're talking of "fastest negative growth".
Zimbabwe's economy is in the Intensive Care Unit. You cannot compare the ZiG with the Zambian Kwacha , which by the way I'd the strongest in the SADC, way ahead of the Rand and the Namibian Dollar.
