President Mnangagwa has today voiced his opinions about the skills set Zimbabweans posses and said the government should change strategy on supporting local institutions, New Ziana reports.

While speaking at a meeting of health professionals at the statehouse the president said:

However this pandemic to me has exposed government to realise that we sometimes spend time, effort and focus going outside the country when the skills and knowledge are inside the country.

I think from now on as a result of this pandemic, we should as government change our strategy in modernising and industrialising our country by supporting institutions in the country and have less of borrowing technology from outside,

The president also spoke about how universities are producing COVID-19 materials like sanitizers, professional protective equipment and masks to be used to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
