Did businesses starve Zimbabwean people?

DEAR EDITOR - I was shocked to hear that goods have started to appear in Zimbabwe shops.

Surely there has not been a major change in the operating environment for business. We know that the foreign currency issue has not been eased.

Not much foreign investment has gone into the country since the formation of the inclusive Government. Industry has also not improved that much in the last few months.

What then has changed which necessitated the reappearance of goods on store shelves.

One is forced to ask: "Where businesses in Zimbabwe deliberately hiding goods in Zimbabwe as the Government always claimed?"

If this is the case our businesses should be ashamed of deliberately starving the nation.

If not, well done for a sterling effort.
