Controversies
– In 2004, His Bank, Barbican Bank, was shut down by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe after failing to meeting liquidity requirements. Many depositors in Bulawayo lost their money which were trapped in the closed bank. The bank was later merged with other banks to form the ZABG.
– Many have argued that Mthuli Ncube is theoretical and is weak on strategy.
– In 2018, Mthuli Ncube accepted a Finance Minister position which many observed had no prospects of success in a politically mucky environment like that in Zimbabwe.
– Mthuli Ncube continues to travel between ZImbabwe and Switzerland where his family currently lives.
– Mthuli Ncube Continues to live in the expensive Miekles Hotel at the expense of the Zimbabwe Government
-Mthuli Ncube has reversed many of his policy positions after he was appointed. For example, he was originally opposed to the Bond note, but was later convinced to accept it.
