Prevail International Group has demonstrated, project after project, what professional execution looks like. This embarrassment at National Sports Stadium is the price Zimbabwe pays when inexperienced contractors are handed contracts they cannot honour." Look at it. Just look at it. The photograph now circulating on social media showing the renovated toilets at National sports Stadium is not the image of a completed project. It is the image of a failure. Uneven tiled floors. Awkward, unnecessary stepped platforms in the middle of a bathroom. This is what happens when a contract meant for professionals ends up in the hands of the inexperienced. And the most painful part? It did not have to be this way.Prevail International Group was available. Prevail International Group has a proven track record. Prevail International Group has delivered, at scale, the kind of infrastructure work that Zimbabwe's public health system desperately needed. The Presidential Borehole Drilling Scheme. The Muroodzi River Rehabilitation. Village Business Units rolled out across rural communities. Hospital refurbishment programmes that actually looked like hospital refurbishments when the ribbon was cut. Prevail International Group, under its development mandate, has consistently demonstrated what professional project execution looks like in Zimbabwe. Their hospital refurbishment work at Parirenyatwa, Mpilo, and Mbuya Nehanda Maternity set a benchmark that other contractors have struggled to match. Clean finishes. Proper materials. Work that holds up not just on launch day, but weeks and months later when the cameras are gone. Instead, someone made a different decision. Someone awarded a contract funded by public resources to a contractor who clearly lacked the experience, the supervision, or the professionalism to deliver. The result is now viral on social media, being shared and mocked across platforms, an embarrassment to the facility, to the programme, and to Zimbabwe. There is a dangerous misconception that drives poor procurement decisions in Zimbabwe's public sector the belief that awarding a contract to a cheaper, less experienced contractor saves money. It does not. It never does. What you save on the contract price, you spend twice over on remedial work, on reputational damage, on the loss of public confidence in renovation programmes that are genuinely trying to make a difference. The authorities responsible for procurement at National Sports Stadium owe the public an explanation. Who was awarded this contract? What were the selection criteria? Who conducted the site inspections? And critically was payment released for work that looks like this? The lesson from National Sports Stadium is not that renovation programmes should stop. The lesson is that they must be entrusted to those who have already proven they can deliver. The right partner Prevail International was always there. The question is why they were not chosen.

I WENT TO DR TUNGWARARA’S FARM IN CHEGUTU. WHAT I SAW LEFT ME SPEECHLESS.I will be honest with you I did not know what to expect when I drove out to Dr Paul Tungwarara’s farm in Chegutu. I have visited farms before. I have written about agriculture before. But nothing quite prepared me for what I found when I arrived. From the moment I stepped out of the vehicle, I was struck by the sheer scale of the operation. Maize fields stretching as far as the eye could see. Centre-pivot irrigation systems sweeping across the crop like something out of a farming documentary. And a man Dr Tungwarara himself standing in the middle of it all with the calm confidence of someone who has built something real and knows it.I was genuinely impressed. In fact, impressed does not even cover it. Dr Tungwarara stands in his maize field the crop towering well above head height.Over 2,000 Cattle I Saw Them With My Own Eyes .I will be straight with you when Dr Tungwarara told me he had over 2,000 head of cattle, I raised an eyebrow. Then he walked me to the pens. The herd is real. Brahman bulls, cows, calves individually numbered, well-fed, and managed with the kind of discipline that tells you immediately this man is not playing around. I walked among them at dusk and the pens stretched further than I expected. Each animal branded and accounted for.This is not subsistence farming. This is commercial ranching at a level that most people in this country only read about.Dr Tungwarara inspects his cattle pens over 2,000 head, individually numbered and carefully managed. Export potatoes. Fish ponds. Centre-pivot maize. I saw it all with my own eyes.Potatoes Feeding Chegutu And Crossing Zimbabwe’s Borders.I asked him about the potato operation because I had heard about it before the visit. The reality exceeded what I had been told. Dr Tungwarara is not just supplying Chegutu with potatoes he is exporting. Outside Zimbabwe. Competing on regional markets with produce grown right here on reclaimed Zimbabwean soil. "We supply Chegutu consistently," he said to me. "And the export business is growing. The demand is there if you have the quality and the consistency to back it up."He also runs fish ponds on the property. When I asked him why, the answer was immediate. "Protein security. Diversification. You do not build a serious agricultural enterprise on one product." I found myself nodding and writing faster.The irrigation infrastructure that keeps production running through every season on the Chegutu farm.The Machines That Make It All Possible. One thing I kept noticing as we moved around the property was the equipment. This farm is mechanised. Properly mechanised. A tractor fleet YTO and Massey Ferguson units parked in a purpose-built shelter, maintained and clearly ready to work.The farm’s tractor fleet, housed in a dedicated equipment shelter on the property. "You cannot farm at this scale by hand," Dr Tungwarara told me. "The machines are the investment that makes everything else possible. They allow you to plant on time, harvest on time, and produce the volume that the market can rely on."He is right. And the results speak for themselves.
