Zimbabwe Under President Mnangagwa

World Business Report

Available for over a year

We find out how Zimbabweans are faring since the arrival of President Mnangagwa. The BBC's Vivienne Nunis is in Harare, and hears from Sibusio Moyo, minister for foreign affairs and international trade. And she gets analysis from Zimbabwean media mogul Trevor Ncube, Fay Chung, founder of the Women's University of Africa, and independent political candidate Fadzayi Mahere. Vivienne also finds out how the new administration plans to reform the country's agricultural system. And our reporter Ivana Davidovic explores how much money there is to be made in Zimbabwe from religion. Also in the programme, with an end to political stalemate in Italy in sight, James Politi, Rome bureau chief for the Financial Times, tells us about the significance of an expected coalition agreement between the country's Five Star Movement, and League party.
