Abstract: 

Who would have thought Zimbabweans would ever complain again? Surrounding their grievances around the worst economy and financials, which are beyond repair in a deepened political crisis, continued international economic sanctions, low salaries, and medical crisis together with human rights violations. To make matters worse, Zimbabwean opposition political party leaders such as, Nelson Chamisa, and the former opposition political leader Arthur Mutambara have all in some instances, described President Emmerson Mnangagwa as the worst dictator that is worse than Robert Mugabe. Drawing extensively from this background, this article interrogates the current Zimbabwean economic and financial landscapes. This article is ponderously engaged with the question of whether Mnangagwa was the best Zimbabwe possible savior after Mugabe's presumed coup d'état? (Overthrow of Mugabe's government) With a clear attempt at arguing that, electing Mnangagwa made Zimbabwe worse, ground rooting on Afrocentricity as a theoretical framework, to realise this central argument, which also stands to delineate this article's principal objective.
