OK Zimbabwe has articulated operational challenges within the Zimbabwean landscape, highlighting hyperinflation as a prominent impediment to their business endeavors. They have underscored that their business is unable to generate sufficient revenue to defray its operational costs and expenditures.
Notably, numerous other thriving enterprises are encountering formidable obstacles in conducting business activities in Zimbabwe, primarily stemming from the volatility and inconsistency evident in both monetary policies and property rights and security matters—effects of making decisions using SI units, Command Economy and Command Agriculture.
To illustrate, all commercial entities and businesses were prohibited from levying or fixing prices in U.S. dollars, while many government parastatals steadfastly refused to accept payments in the local currency.
In the realm of property rights, the taking over or raiding of numerous farms, mines and companies by influential figures, especially Zanu-PF officials and their relatives, has occurred without adherence to proper legal procedures.
A recent and emblematic case in point is the Westwood incident involving the former Zanu-PF Chairman, Temba Mliswa. It is regrettably observed that the judicial system, law enforcement agencies and other relevant institutions intended to safeguard the rights of citizens appear to be compromised and incapable of shielding individuals from the excesses of Zanu-PF’s actions.
