London based Business Monitor International (BMI) Research has warned foreign investors who have been attracted by Zimbabwe’s “new dispensation” to stay away from the country’s politics. BMI warned the investors to avoid commenting on political issues if they invest in Zimbabwe as the State will use heavy-handed methods against them. President Emmerson Mnangagwa has been calling for investors to return to the country under the mantra “Zimbabwe is open for business.”
In a report BMI says,
Foreign) businesses should avoid involvement in political affairs or commentary over the near term, as the state security apparatus can employ heavy-handed methods to quell dissent.
In view of the relatively peaceful transfer of power within Zanu PF, we expect upcoming elections will be hotly contested.
…The pertinent risk of political violence can significantly disrupt business operations and trade in the country in the near term, while investors will remain cautious on the market.
