New Government will deliver on the promises made to the people, President Mnangagwa has said. The President said this whilst addressing people during the Inauguration swearing in ceremony for his second term at the National Sports Stadium in Harare. 

“My new Government will deliver on the promises we have made to you. The transformation of the living standards of our people, especially those in rural communities, will be accelerated, while the concerns of those in urban areas will not be neglected. Responsive policies, projects and programmes, which begun during the first term of my Presidency are on course to lift many more people, out of poverty and into prosperity,” said the President.

President Mnangagwa also said hurdles such as illegal sanctions must be knocked out of the way through hard work by a united people. 

“The hurdles such as the illegal, heinous sanctions and machinations of our detractors must be knocked out of our way through unity of purpose, hard honest work, innovativeness, resilience, focus and determination. Together as a united people, all challenges can be overcome; brick by brick, stone upon stone, and step by step,” He said. 

The President said the on-going success in the agriculture sector was going to be consolidated during His second term of leadership.

“On-going success milestones in the agriculture sector will be consolidated during this new term under my leadership. To date, we are food secure in both maize and wheat. All the agriculture sub-sectors have realised unprecedented growth. I commend our farmers as well as stakeholders in the agriculture sector for these achievements. This is indisputable evidence of the success of our Land Reform Programme and the responsive pro-people policies of the Second Republic. Going forward, my new Government will prioritise guaranteeing this momentum through household and national food security,” he said.
