In today's AfroVerdict episode, your host, Viktor Anokhin, is joined by Zimbabwe's Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Monica Mutsvangwa to have a conversation on Russia-Zimbabwe cooperation and Zimbabwe's ability to persevere through Western sanctions.
Russia and Zimbabwe have a deep history of relations, including the time of "the very tough armed struggle", according to Mutsvangwa.
"As a war veteran myself, I fought for the liberation struggle of this country, and I know our relationship with Russia has come a very long way. And we know that we have continued to deepen our relationship," she says.
Despite the Western sanctions imposed on Russia resulting in "price hikes, supply chain disruptions and a general deterioration of macroeconomic and living conditions," ZImbabwe was still able to beat a "half-century old record" of wheat production.
"We have really achieved food security in our country, which is a very, very good thing and the people of Zimbabwe actually will never go hungry," Minister Mutsvangwa explains.
The minister says that "Zimbabwe will continue to explore possible areas of cooperation" with Russia, "whilst at the same time seeking self-sufficiency in areas where we have capacity."
She notes the fact that Zimbabwe has always managed to come up with a plan despite all difficulties.
"We always think outside the box. When Zimbabwe's illegal sanctions have been imposed on our country, but we have not sat back and cried and said there's nothing we can do," Mutsvangwa elaborates.
