ZCC general-secretary Kenneth Mtata said: > We have started knocking on some doors which we think are important so that we can go back to this (national dialogue) process. The economy is now a security threat. > The way things are going; if prices continue the way they are going up, that is something that we are really afraid of as we may come to a point where the majority of the population does not know whether they are going or coming back. > If the majority of citizens are not sure if the situation is changing for the better and then they reach a frustration point where they say they have nothing to lose; that becomes a dangerous turn. While the government has blamed sanctions and businesses for the deteriorating economic situation, economic analyst Godfrey Kanyenze said its history repeating itself. He said: > History is repeating itself. If you go back to 2004, businesspeople were called economic saboteurs. > Government has a knack for blaming either sanctions or business whenever there is a crisis. > When you float the exchange rate and when there is no foreign currency, the prices will go one way β up. Itβs not rocket science. *Related:* *Unjustified Price Hikes A Security Threat β Mliswa* *SB Moyo Warns Businesses That Govt Will Enforce Discipline* *Retailers Hike Prices Of Basics* *Price Increase Affected Retail Volumes β Statistics* *FULL TEXT: Consumer Rights Association Threatens Consumer Mass Action Over Price Hikes* *More: The Independent* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
