How Can Tagwirei Preach About Tender Opportunities While Holding a Monopoly on Them? It is the height of hypocrisy for Kudakwashe Tagwirei to advocate for Zimbabweans to enter the government tender business, when he—through proximity to Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa—has monopolized access to all major tenders. In Zimbabwe, tenders are... no longer instruments of public procurement aimed at creating equal economic opportunities. Instead, they have become vehicles for corruption, nepotism, and elite capture. At the centre of this cartel is President Mnangagwa himself, who has enabled a small group of business cronies to loot state coffers through inflated and often dubious contracts. Let us be clear: in Zimbabwe, tenderpreneurship is not a path open to all. A tenderpreneur, by definition, is someone who profits from government tenders—often through political connections rather than competitive merit. Our local version of tenderpreneurship has become synonymous with corruption, not entrepreneurship. Individuals like Tagwirei, Wicknell Chivayo, Delish Nguwaya, and Paul Tungwarara have secured their empires not through innovation or hard work, but through systemic corruption, cronyism, and bribery. These elites have institutionalized corruption by providing kickbacks to government officials—lavish cars, cash handouts, and luxury properties—in exchange for continuous tender awards. How, then, can Tagwirei claim to promote inclusive economic participation when the playing field is so blatantly tilted in his favour and that of his fellow Zviganandas? In an open and functioning economy, tenders are competitive and transparent, and opportunities are available to all citizens based on merit. In Zimbabwe, however, the system is polluted—captured by a corrupt elite that has weaponized state resources for personal gain. Until the government dismantles this cartel and restores transparency and fairness in public procurement, talk of tender opportunities for ordinary Zimbabweans is nothing more than a cruel joke.
