Richard Tsvangirayi, son to former Prime Minister and MDC founding president Morgan Tsvangirayi has disputed the assertion that Zimbabwe has become a lower-middle-income country.
Tsvangirayi said that the situation on the ground shows that Zimbabweans are now poorer than they were during former President Robert Mugabe’s reign.
Writing on microblogging site, Twitter, Tsvangirayi said:
This means we have an issue of inequality in the nation because what’s on the paper doesn’t tally with the situation on the ground.
Zimbabweans are poorer than they were during the Mugabe era, their purchasing power has been reduced by high taxes and inflation.

People from Matebeleland provinces were poorer during RG’s era,now they are the poorest people in Zimbabwe.We are just like garbage, they are even doing a tactic of destroying Ndebele language.So those who are mourning now,it really shows that they were enjoying before.
We are poor because your father called for sanctions.
