. We have had lockdowns. For the past two decades we have been under sanctions and the economy has been limping. There is climate change, a direct consequence of drought, Cyclone Idai and lower generation of electricity. So there is less generation of food in the agriculture sector. The government has by all means developed strategies to arrest some of these challenges," he said.

Moyo said the negative perception of Zimbabwe has emanated from within to influence the international community.

"Negativity, which has recently mushroomed against Zimbabwe... Let us look at what is the source. The source is internal, generated locally by our own people for the purpose of social media consumption so that it can reach certain personalities, destinations and capitals, which should respond negatively to Zimbabwe.

"That is the scenario. The consumer is social media and mostly those people who are outside," he said.
