HARARE, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- Zimbabwe's political scene in 2014 was rattled by the abrupt dismissal of more than a dozen cabinet members led by the country's
longtime vice president Joice Mujuru as a fierce battle to succeed Africa's
oldest leader -- veteran president Robert Mugabe -- over overshadowed efforts to
put the country's ailing economy back on the rails.
Mujuru's dismissal presented its own firsts -- being the first vice president in the history of the country to be fired; being the first former vice president
to be investigated for criminal activities; and that for the first time since
independence in 1980, the country has a living former vice president.
All the other former Vice Presidents -- Joshua Nkomo, Simon Muzenda jordan 11 retro space jam for sale , Joseph Msika and John Nkomo -- left office through death.
Police are now investigating her on allegations of corruption and abuse of power, while allegations of plotting to assassinate Mugabe have also been
peddled. Police on Tuesday said they have found vital evidence after being given
approval to search the former vice president's home.
For several years, Mugabe, who turns 91 in February 2015, watched as the drama over his succession unfolded. He would ban discussions over his succession
and warn that factional leaders would be punished.
But the run-up to the party's congress in December took a heavy twist when the two camps vying to take over from him took off their gloves and began to hit
each other below the belt. The camp led by new Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa
scored a vital victory.
Mnangagwa's appointment as Mujuru's replacement was viewed by many as an endorsement by Mugabe that he should become the party and government's next
leader.
However jordan retro 11 snakeskin for sale , as most people exerted their energies on the political dogfights in the governing party, the economy continued to
bleed, liquidity challenges persisted and social services deteriorated, many
companies closed down and many people lost their jobs.
Economists Vince Musewe, Luxon Zembe and Godfrey Kanyenze all agreed that one of the reasons the economy was not ticking was that government leaders were
ensconced in party factional politics instead of working for the greater good of
the nation.
The political uncertainty affected potential investors -- both foreign and local -- who opted to take a wait and see attitude hoping that the situation
would play itself out jordan 11 retro red october for sale , they said.
Musewe said that those who were fighting to get positions did not have a better plan for Zimbabwe and merely wished to benefit from their stations.
Cabinet ministers continued to issue conflicting policy statements, especially in relation to the indigenization policy, depending on which faction
they had belonged to.
About 4,000 people had lost their jobs by the end of September as companies closed down because of the harsh economic environment.
The loss of income and a decline in disposable income for those still in employment also resulted in thousands of people falling into debt, with scores
of families losing their homes jordan 11 retro pantone for sale , household property, office furniture and equipment and even clothes every month.
A number of prominent people, including lawyers, top businessmen and former governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Gideon Gono have recently had their
properties either attached or auctioned to settle debts.
Economic growth, which had gone up to 5.7 percent at the formation of the inclusive government in 2009 jordan 11 retro low for sale , has been declining since 2012, going down to 4.5 percent in 2013 and is projected to hit 3.1 percent this year.
Monetary authorities said foreign direct investment plunged to 65 million U.S. dollars in the first half of 2014 from 167 million dollars recorded during
the same period last year to reach a new low since the economic meltdown which
began in 2012.
Labour and Economic Development Research Institute of Zimbabwe director Kanyenze said the country's economy had become a casualty of the political power
games.
The number of millionaires in the world rose by nearly 8 percent last year to an all-time high of around 16.5 million people, with record total wealth of
$63.5 trillion (55.70 trillion pounds), according to a report by global
consultancy firm Capgemini.
The wealth of high net worth individuals (HNWI) -- which Capgemini defines as those with investable assets of $1 million or more, excluding the primary
residence jordan 11 retro legend blue for sale , collectibles and consumables -- rose 8.2 percent on the year in 2016 and is on track to surpass $100 trillion by
2025.
Some 1.15 million people became millionaires last year, the report said.
The United States, Japan, Germany and China boast the highest numbers and together make up for almost two-thirds of the total.
In the United States, their ranks rose to 4.8 million from 4.46 million jordan 11 retro gamma blue for sale , while the number of millionaires in China rose to 1.13 million from just over 1 million.
The Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America contributed equally to the rise in wealth, with Russia, Brazil an.
