Trevor this interview takes the trophy. The best one you have done.

[@TheChachona]

I can imagine what low self-esteem you have

[@Nhamo3]

leonil chachona hahaha

[@imath68]

David Z it’s rubbish because the man is lying. Trevor, don’t treat us like fools.

[@isaacchakanyuka1026]

I agree with you

[@takudzwacaitano7527]

This is the best interview on Zimbabwe I have ever heard! If only everyone could listen to this with a sober mind .

[@imath68]

The man is lying in order to clean up his image, so I don’t know what’s so good about this interview. I feel he was being given a platform to disassociate himself and portray himself as a victim . What about all that dishing of state funds as loans which were later converted to grants while the majority was suffering.

Not a Dr Gono fan like a lot of Zimbabweans, but this ranks among the best if not the best insighful interview I have ever watched. So much happens in a country and we people jump to conclusions without the full facts. This interview takes the trophy

[@rabisonshumba7863]

Very insightful interview. He has his own mistakes that he made but I like the honesty and wit. This is by far one of the most insightful interviews. I did not stop the moment I started listening. Well done Mukoma Trevor for immortalizing this interview. Head bowed.

[@luxmorechiwuta7315]

Wow, not mention the eloquence of the Dr GG. His humility and honest is something to be cherished. I hated for some of his past decisions and blamed him. This man has my unreserved respect. This definitely one of the most honest and insightful interviews about this country. If only we could as country tap into this wisdom

[@melanimahlobo5301]

Hearing this now, I appreciate the gravity of issues that Gono dealt with and how tough the man really is. My respects GG.

[@tapiwanashejames8468]

I strongly urge any young person in Zimbabwe to watch and understand this insightful conversation. This is the stuff that makes leaders, nation builders and most importantly makes you understand the Governance of Zimbabwe. I like how he is accountable of his actions and the role played by the Principles and how he points out to the loopholes which currently exist in this day. Oh well, the best 2 hours of my time on KZbin.

I love your work Mr Ncube. This was a great conversation. Dr Gono has definitely been a central figure in the corridors of power in our political space. I do have apprehension and reservation about the argument he poses on the matter of moralising wanton and reckless creation of money resulting in the unprecedented inflation we experienced in 2008. We may have saved some lives and kept the dead body count low but it done more harm than good in the long run. We live now with the after effects of his legacy. The money growth I believe really was and is a pyrrhic victory.

[@thegreats.t.g5063]

With all the misconceptions cleared out of the way, i can tell you that i have more respect for GG. He did more for Zimbabwe, in the shadows and without taking any credit. Such a humble man , its sad that they saw his usefulness only when they had made a mess. It's sad that he had to have his legacy attached to the "the elephant" that he was never part of. Glad he's doing what he loves and that the elephant takes time to watch this insightful interview and take a leaf. First time watching your iterviews Trevor and I'm glad i did. You are a great listener who asks the right questions. KUDOS

2024, part 1&2 done and dusted. If some of our Zimbabwean leaders had listened to this 3 years back when it premiered the nation would probably be in a much better state now. Invaluable insights into the politics and economics of Zimbabwe were shared on this interview by the man I blame most of the nation's economic woes on. Thank you for this conversation Trevor 🙏

It's one of the most candid interviews I have listened to that bring out reasons why things happened the way they did Zimbabwe's economy.

[@zachkasowe7764]

The comments here show that Africans are fooled by good speakers that s why Mugabe ruled for 37 years. Judge a man by his results he left the economic system in tatters but still claims he saved the country. Even if there was no govt or economic managers the country can still survive . Somalia and parts of DRC where there have been no govts but people survive. What happened before colonialism was there any central economy, international aid .The country can survive even without governments actually governments are the main sources of our troubles.He is deluded to think that he saved a society that has survived for centuries. Even during the colonial era more than 80% of the population operated outside the main economy. So how did he say the society. His policies actually killed thousands of people.You did not save the country if Zimbabwe was the new Libya eventually things would have been better who knows. Libyan problems quite different from Zimbabwe's .Typical African who never admits he was wrong when actually he is now a good example of a bad reserve bank governor the world over.all the problems is because of someone else except himself.

You can say that again. But problem squarely lies with Zimbabweans. You can build a country you call your own or get manipulated in a game of riches aquisition by conmen posing as representatives of Zimbabweans' interests.You will insult each other like this chap who said Makaranga uzakhunya. You will subdivide yourselves into little tribal groups.All that saves to cement Zanu-PF grip on power to make themselves richer whilst you languish in your tribal discourse. If name-calling brings Roller Meal in your kitchens then continue, maybe you can reap your desired results. Till you stupid Zims realize its 20th century then good luck in your dreams. You have a choice to select the future or the past. Not very sure if you can change the past but I am sure you can map the future you need for your children.
