He added, “The citizen’s government will reposition Zimbabwe back into the family of nations, making Zimbabwe a God-loving, God-honoring and God-fearing nation. Making Zimbabwe a leader in modern agriculture including advanced farming technologies, making Zimbabwe a leader in education and a prominent sporting giant. The citizens’ government will implement a program of transitional justice and nation healing, a new constitution, and rename and reduce the country’s provinces.
