Mugabe speaks on creation of 2 million jobs says Zimbabweans should also start businesses

Speaking during an interview on ZBC TV, President Robert Mugabe said that the creation of the 2 million jobs is a gradual process and he said that apart from being employed Zimbabweans should also strive to be entrepreneurs.

Said Mugabe:

The process is a gradual one. As we improve the economy sector-by-sector and bring about employment alongside that improvement, naturally we shall also be transforming the overall economic sectors in accordance with our Zim-Asset. Transforming means adding value to the raw materials that might come out of agriculture, mining et cetera so we ensure that upon the exportation of goods from these sectors, we shall receive perhaps, double or even more than double, what we might have got if we didn’t transform or add value to the particular goods. That whole process, it’s an economic process. As you transform the economy, you are actually ensuring greater employment, sector by sector, it’s the creation of industry by the way and industry is created in mining, agriculture and commerce by that transformative process, which ensures that we can now talk of our country having transformed and a greater part of our people having been employed.
