South Africa’s President, Jacob Zuma has backed President Robert Mugabe’s stance that Zimbabwe is not in a fragile state and is the most developed country in the continent after South Africa.

After a meeting on Thursday with the 93-year-old Mugabe on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum on Africa in Durban, South Africa, Zuma told the media that Mugabe described Zimbabwe as it is.

“As far as he is concerned, he described how Zimbabwe is, and I agree with the President,”

Zuma said.

During a plenary session at the Forum on Thursday, Mugabe denied that his country was in a fragile state.

“You don’t talk of us as a fragile state from an economic point of view. Yes we have our problems but certainly we have achieved … we have our resources, perhaps more resources than the average country in the world,”

He said.

He added that his country is one of the “most highly developed countries, second after South Africa”.

South Africa, which is the continent’s most industrialised economy was cut to “junk” last month by two major ratings agencies which cited political uncertainty after President Jacob Zuma sacked Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan in a cabinet reshuffle.

Zimbabwe is due to hold its next presidential and parliamentary election in July 2018.

Series of protests have been held in the country in reaction to the economic turmoil characterized by shortage of funds and soar in debt.

93-year-old Mugabe has been endorsed as the ruling ZANU-PF party’s presidential candidate to continue the presidency he assumed since independence.

See them..

God..In two years Nigeria is now a laughing stock.

Thanks to Buhari

Can't believe this. OP you mean they join head together

But seriously who said "Nigeria is the giant of Africa.?"

The Biggest Lie ever said was




Nigeria is the Giant of Africa

God bless Biafra.the land of the rising sun.i have a question for all those people attacking Biafran separatists,
(1) Do any of you sincerely believe that Nigeria have any positive future for the common man on the street?
(2) Does any of you honestly believe that in the event of buhari's death, that osibanjo would be allowed to ascend the post of the president going by the way he was initially prevented from attending national security meetings, the humiliation of tinubu especially during the last ondo state election, the northernisation of the government and the national security forces?
(3) can they honestly say that tinubu and his boys are more interested in the welfare of the average Yoruba man on the street than their personal pockets going by the heartless way they're forcing the poor from Lagos in their push to acquire more wealth?
(4) Do you honestly believe that the north would ever leave it's stranglehold on power and allow the country to be restructured for justice, progress, equality and fairness to exist
let us tell ourselves the truth, there's a reason we're here discussing about Nnamdi Kanu,it's because he has given the masses on the street the hope of a better future for their children and grand children, a dream which only the few privileged lot can still afford in this country.

This country will remain in the doldrums except those Northern States are merged with their kin in Chad and Niger

Hausa will be happy now. Fools will still come here to defend failure

See the level failurehari has dragged Nigeria too.... pity

Nigeria has now become a joke even within the continent, not to mention the rest of the world.

Very unfortunate indeed.

I wonder who dubbed the failed entity The giant of Africa....

Certainly nobody
Nigeria is now the tissue paper of Africa all thanks to our power intoxicating vegetable president
Nothing works in Nigeria except nepotism.. Hatred .. Tribalism.. Corruption. .. Backbiting .. Terrorism..

Worst is truth is alien in Nigeria
Lies and deceit carries the day
One Nigeria is the greatest mistake since the history of humanity and rectifying this mistake is a duty bestowed on all of us in order to salvage what's remains of our dignity

That's what makes some of us smarter than average unpatriotic wailer, who believe zimbabwe is better than his own country because they hate buhari.

When you defeat them intellectually
They resort to childish tantrums

This guy lying through his teeth to tell us how vegetable Buhari is working and how Nigeria is paradise on earth is not a relative of Buhari or is he a northerner
But He is a southerner who have been sidelined by the cabal in power
It's of utmost importance to clarify that he is also a Yoruba Muslim

Relax dude, what he is simply saying is Buhari shouldn't be the only person to be called out. Zimbabwe been better is as a result of continued progress over the years. Nothing has worked in Nigeria from day 1 and democracy only made it worse.

If you sit in the comfort of your room and type or say that Nigeria's decline began only two years ago (post 2015 that is),then you are being unbelievably economic with the truth and it is time for a reality check. Look at it this way: As a country,we have been stuttering since 1960 and have failed to record any meaningful form of stability in governance and economic policies. All these have snowballed into what we are experiencing presently. If you doubt me then you must have a problem with thinking backwards and looking ahead. Planning for the future has been our slaughter slab. Secondly,like it or choke on it we remain the giant of Africa-show me that country on mama Africa that can match what we have(population and resources-wise). I dub us a sleeping/comatose giant. For the moment (with these misguided drunks presiding over the country) we are. #NG
