Why, just when we announced that we are going for general elections?

They buy sugar from Chiredzi, all the basic goods like flour and so on to stock in their warehouse then raise the prices, let me warn them,\u201d he said and added that his team was investigating this issue and would proceed to confiscate the goods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cIf it is true, we shall confiscate, not only the warehouses but the things inside them and give it to you and distribute to people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The president said if foreign businesspeople based in Zimbabwe wanted to hoard goods, they should \u201cgo back to their countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cOur government will never tolerate such activities in an independent Zimbabwe,\u201d Mnangagwa said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mnangagwa accuses Indian business people of hoarding basic goods, threatens to confiscate them<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Asakhe?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Asakhe<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wmjY1Az4ru\">pic.twitter.com\/wmjY1Az4ru<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; CITE (@citezw) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/citezw\/status\/1676274743257833473?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 4, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Obviously, racial tensions are still high, even though we were told everything would cool down once whites weren\u2019t calling the shots.
