    The truth is Zimbabweans and the world at large are hungry for these promises and whilst you almost sold it to me that there's now "good will " you lost me when you failed to concede sufficiently what was said so eloquently by Melanie (British ambassador) but acutely felt by the very people you were able to acknowledge have been let down so badly by our older generation. The stench is real Douglas and this needs to be acknowledged fully in order that we move on with confidence

    Honestly the first time I heard about Doug and the fact that he worked for the government,I didn’t want to watch the interview because of the fact he put across that “us as young people,we believe that older folks let us down” by running down the economy,
    But after watching the interview,I learnt that its one thing to complain and its a totally different ballgame to do the actual work.I respect him for what he has achieved and how he gave all the glory to God,because that is our duty as man.

    Great to see Doug who i respect as a leader in our banking industry. Respectfully though, i think he was off on the Chilonga issue. The community requested from govt to issue them with offer letters prior to the eviction to ensure that the promises of the irrigation scheme would be sincere. This is not happening. All this works to send wrong signals. On property rights we have a long way to go. Talk of companies like Ariston who had challenges nearly losing land under BIPPA few years ago

  • @vimbaimush
    @vimbaimush 3 года назад

    Very good interview, I really enjoyed it. I liked the bit you played on what the Ambassador said, and I also echo the same sentiments. Even for us who are Zimbabweans but live in the diaspora, you can't help but wonder how your investment is protected and also how you then convert your money back and get it where you want. I felt that question was not addressed. If an investor comes and invest, considering the laws back then, you couldn't take forex out of Zim, what assurance is there now that they will get their money without hussles? Can I invest, and be able to take back my money. It wasn't very clear. I felt property rights was quite vague and am not sure it quite addresses the issue of liquidity. How will that work?

    Doug became a Zanu PF spin doctor when he responded to the Chilonga issue as well as the issues raised by the British Ambassador. I believe there are also some embellishments on his portfolio such as oil and gas investments. Trevor should have asked for more details.

    It's always sad to lose a relatively young man with more to accomplish. I however feel that his involvement in the Chilonga situation leaves a stain on some of his outstanding achievements. It's noteworthy that Munatsi didn't use this golden platform to debunk what he purported to be false information about the Chilonga circus. Thus, some of us still have a lot of questions about what was the whole issue about the Chilonga debacle. That being said, one hopes that his family is coping well with this tragic.

Zanu PF's egregious tentacles seem to be overarching in ways that are antithetical to ZIDA's ethos. I believe he might have tried to correct this and paid with his life. Very very sad.
