Speaking on repatriation of funds by foreign affairs, Mangudya said
Right now you all know that Zimbabwe is going through foreign currency shortages… and therefore if we open up the economy we are saying that we need more comers coming into this country.

The economy is open, so at the end of the day.. companies can take money outs
