THE GREATEST THING I DID WAS FOCUS MY CONSULTANCY ON ZIMBABWE AND AFRICA WHEN SA CLOSED ITS DOORS. Since 2019, I began to focus my marketing business on Zimbabwe and Africa after South Africa started closing off business opportunities to African investors. What I can tell you is that Zimbabwe and Africa have been good to me. As I say this, it’s now June and most people have been focused on CAB3. But what have we done with the vast opportunities in Zimbabwe? With so many opportunities coming out of Zimbabwe, I have to ask myself honestly: was my criticism of the government a fair assessment? Is Zimbabwe doing well because sanctions are gone, or because the Mnangagwa government has done well or both?

WATCH | An American couple who have travelled to more than 50 countries around the world, including several in Africa, planned to drive through Zimbabwe in their camper van on their way to East Africa. However, they cancelled their trip after spending only 24 hours in the country. They said several problems in Zimbabwe influenced their decision, and one of the biggest issues was the terrible detours between Beitbridge and Masvingo. In one of their clips, the wife complained that they paid US$8 in toll fees only to be “tortured” by bad roads. Here are some of their first impressions of Zimbabwe.

The discovery of stolen ARVs being used on chickens in Zimbabwe is not just a scandal it is a public health catastrophe waiting to happen. In November 2024, police in Harare intercepted a consignment of 317 boxes of expired first-line ARVs destined for the black market. No one said anything about this. Zimbabwean authorities arrested two suspects for smuggling 700,000 tablets of TLD a combination of tenofovir, lamivudine, and dolutegravir which were to be used as growth stimulants for chickens . The criminals, who bought them at 70% discount, were selling the drugs to poultry farmers for US10 per tablet by the time they reached the streets . The use of ARVs in poultry is not just a new phenomenon. In 2021, the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development raised serious concerns about "the illegal and widespread use of ARVs as growth stimulants in the poultry industry," specifically singling out Zimbabwe . The misuse is driven by a "misconception" that ARVs somehow promote growth in poultry, when in fact the drugs have no such effect, guys this was 2021 and our government did nothing to protect us. But the real danger lies in the public health risk. This widespread misuse could accelerate the development of drug resistance, threatening not just Zimbabwe's HIV/AIDS treatment programme, but global efforts to combat the epidemic . As one source warned, "the problem is that if they start developing drug resistance, all the steps Africa has taken in terms of combating HIV/AIDS could be thrown to the dogs" . Zimbabwe's HIV prevalence in adults is estimated at 11.8% , representing over 1.2 million people on treatment . The drugs that could be rendered ineffective by resistance cost millions to procure and distribute, and a second-line regimen is exponentially more expensive . The scale of the problem is staggering. In 2024, the Zimbabwean Ministry of Health revealed that up to 100,000 people were infected with HIV due to ARV shortages, driven by theft and corruption in the supply chain . The Ministry of Health acknowledged that the government did not have "a handle" on the problem, suggesting systemic corruption and theft . Health activists in Zimbabwe have warned that using ARVs as chicken feed "could lead to the development of drug-resistant HIV among people" . The Permanent Secretary for Health confirmed that this theft was "prevalent" and "a major concern" . The consequences will be felt far beyond Zimbabwe's borders.

While our South African brothers and sisters never miss an opportunity to mock Zimbabwe, many of them remain blissfully unaware that their own army had to rely on Zimbabwe for the evacuation of their injured and even pregnant soldiers. Yes, the same Zimbabwe they love to ridicule was the one ensuring their troops made it out safely. And why was Zimbabwe the best-placed country for this mission? Simple - because in Southern Africa, Zimbabwe is the only nation that the Rwandese, particularly through M23, genuinely fear. They learned a few hard-hitting lessons between 1998 and 2003, courtesy of Zimbabwe’s military expertise. Rwandese forces know - wisely, and from experience - to steer clear of any operation where Zimbabwe is involved. South Africans may joke, but history speaks louder than their ignorance.

It is shameful that our president meets up with President of Zimbabwe and Mohamed Dagalo who have both committed atrocities against Africans. It is hypocritical to ignore genocide in Congo, Sudan and Zimbabwe and to focus our resources on fights in the Middle East and Europe. Ramaphosa has ignored the SADC report on the elections in Zimbabwe attended the inauguration of an illegitimate leader. He has ignored a crisis in Zimbabwe that costs South Africa billions a year.

ZANUPF has done many terrible things, but it is important to acknowledge that there are certain good things it did too. One of them was allowing Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) to operate from Zimbabwe, pass through Zimbabwe, and even use the Zimbabwe National Army to move its weapons from Zambia to South Africa. I know you are basing your statement on a short video clip which occasionally circulates online, showing Robert Mugabe being interviewed by British television. In that interview, he was asked if he would allow South Africans to fight militarily from Zimbabwe, and he replied that South Africans would fight militarily in South Africa not Zimbabwe. Anyone with a bit of common sense would understand that Mugabe could never have gone on British television and publicly said that Zimbabwe was helping South Africans militarily to fight apartheid from Zimbabwean soil. It is like expecting O. R. Tambo to go on British or American television and expose the tactics used to fight the apartheid regime. That would not have been a smart thing to do. It simply requires a bit of emotional intelligence to understand that when watching that video clip. If you are not aware of the history, read about the number of bombings that took place in Zimbabwe — bombings carried out by the apartheid South African regime in retaliation for Zimbabwe’s support of the liberation struggle in South Africa. Even your own former president Thabo Mbeki spoke about how Zimbabwe helped South Africa militarily during that period. That said, this is not an excuse to justify illegal immigration simply because Zimbabwe helped South Africa during the struggle. Zimbabwe did the right thing at the time. I am one of those who have consistently said that I am opposed to illegal immigration because it is a crime. However, that does not give anyone the right to insult or abuse Africans particularly Zimbabweans who are living legally in South Africa and have committed no crime. There are South Africans living in Zimbabwe too. One of the biggest mining companies in Zimbabwe, Zimplats, is South African-owned through Impala Platinum Holdings Limited. The bulk of Impala Platinum Holdings Limited’s earnings and revenue come from Zimbabwe not South Africa. Those are the taxes that pay grants to South Africans, it takes a bit of reading to understanding the interconnectedness. It is therefore foolish to say you don’t want Zimbabweans who are living legally in South Africa to do so. It is crazy! There are many other South African companies operating in Zimbabwe, and even your former vice-president, DD, owns a mine in Zvishavane. It is healthy for South Africans to have conversations about issues affecting their country. It is also healthy to discuss illegal immigration — that is part of responsible citizenship. But when you start going after people like Peter Ndoro, who are in South Africa legally, and others who are even naturalised South Africans, it becomes clear that the issue is no longer about immigration. It is about targeting Africans — it is Afrophobia. There are many white Zimbabweans living in South Africa, some legally and some illegally, yet I have never heard anyone mention them. Instead, the focus is always on black Africans who are in South Africa legally and contributing to society. That is not about protecting borders or enforcing immigration laws — that is about self-hate, the internalised racism that drives some Africans to turn on their fellow Africans.

Today, I will be travelling to Zimbabwe to support the team in their preparation for the Rugby World Cup. We must stand behind these extraordinary players and the new structures taking shape. Those who believe in Zimbabwe Rugby must come together as one, ensuring that the team move forward together. I am incredibly proud of Zimbabwe. We will place our sport on the global map. And when the lion roars, it will be the Lion of Zimbabwe. #Zimbabwe #Rugby Zimbabwe Sables Rugby Fans Rugby Africa

AT SCHOOL, I was in the Science stream, but we still learnt HISTORY… Especially the history of Central & Southern Africa. Zimbabwe is arguably the MOST DIVERSE & MOST TOLERANT country in Southern Africa. 8 of the 12 Official Languages in South Africa are also official languages in Zimbabwe… With Zimbabwe have 16 official languages. President President of Zimbabwe took it a notch higher by ensuring that all minority languages have a slot of TV & radio. The introduction of Community radio stations was a masterstroke, it will ensure the preservation of minority languages. For example, here is the news Bulletin on ZBC News in SeSotho … SeSotho is one of the official languages in Zimbabwe.

Because of RELENTLESS negative propaganda, some people, especially in South Africa, have the WORST opinions about Zimbabwe. Some think it’s an extremely poor country, yet in Zimbabwe u never find the SQUALOR & HOMELESSNESS found in other countries. Some say Zimbabweans are criminals, yet Zimbabwe is EXTREMELY SAFE. In South Africa it’s also worsened by failed politicians who blame 4 million immigrants for the problems of 62 million people… We will continue showcasing the beauty and reality of our country… it’s even sad that some of the negative propaganda comes from Zimbabweans… the same Zimbabweans get shocked when they are attacked and disrespected

Zimbabwe Exports Africa’s First Locally Processed Lithium In a historic development, Zimbabwe has become the first African nation to export locally-processed lithium to the international market. The critical mineral, popular for its use in the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that power the world’s smartphones, laptops and electric vehicles, has traditionally been exported from Africa only in its raw form. On April 29, 2026, that changed. The development was made possible with support from Chinese tech company Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt. While the West continues to recycle tired tricks in order to continue plundering the continent, China continues to demonstrate its solidarity with Africa on its path to development.

Zimbabwe has been elected as one of the 10 non-permanent members of the 15-member United Nations Security Council for a two-year term, beginning on 1 January 2027 and ending on 31 December 2028. Zimbabwe will become one of three African countries serving on the 15-member Council, joining the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Liberia. The DRC and Liberia were elected in June 2025 and are serving two-year terms from 2026 to 2027 on the body responsible for maintaining international peace and security. For the next two years, Zimbabwe will have a seat at the table when the world discusses wars, conflicts, sanctions, peacekeeping missions, and other major international security crises. The country will be able to vote on Security Council resolutions and participate directly in debates and negotiations on some of the most important global issues. Although it will not have veto power, which remains reserved for the five permanent members, the United States, Russia, China, the United Kingdom, and France, the seat is a significant diplomatic achievement. It raises Zimbabwe’s international profile and gives the country a voice in some of the world’s most important security discussions, although it does not give Zimbabwe the power to block Security Council decisions. Zimbabwe’s election to the United Nations Security Council marks the country’s third time on the powerful body. It previously served as a non-permanent member in 1983–1984 and again in 1991–1992. Its return marks the first time under President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s presidency. Beyond serving on the United Nations Security Council, Zimbabwe’s main gain is diplomatic influence. It brings no veto power or direct financial benefits, but it does raise Zimbabwe’s international profile and gives it a place in some of the world’s most important diplomatic discussions.

The 7th SADC Industrial Week kicked off in Harare today, the African Development Bank Head of mission in Zimbabwe told the truth that we always say on this page. Moono Mupotola said Zimbabwe is the sick man of the region as she explained how Mozambique’s railway investment is let down by Zimbabwe’s rotten railway system! Our country remains the laughing stock of the region due to Mnangagwa’s corrupt regime that is central to the looting of public funds and plunder of the country’s natural resources! We have a president who has been globally sanctioned for corruption, and is at the heart of the criminal syndicates that are looting the money meant for railway building. It is clear that Zimbabwe's outdated railway system is hindering the country's ability to capitalise on potential economic opportunities, such as the proposed tripartite rail project between Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Botswana that Moono Mupotola was talking about. In order for Zimbabwe to become a more active and prosperous member of the regional community, it is important for the government to address corruption! The president simply needs to stop his corruption network from looting the country’s treasury, he has bled the country dry! Until Mnangagwa understands this, corruption will remain a significant obstacle to Zimbabwe’s progress. Many African leaders that I have spoken to are fed up of how Mnangagwa’s corrupt rule has taken Zimbabwe and the region backwards!

As I mentioned earlier last week, Western countries are repositioning their relations with the Zimbabwean government not because it has changed its ways, but because there is no viable alternative route for engagement in Zimbabwe! The opposition is dead like a dodo! It is a welcome move that Zimbabwe will host the Africa-Nordic countries meeting in Harare in 2025. It is better to have the regime inside the international community tent than outside. This will reduce the brutality and crude levels of governance. I am told by my reliable sources that the British Minister for Africa will be coming to Zimbabwe in June, another point of departure from the frosty relationship that was there! There is a shift in international relations dynamics regarding Zimbabwe. Hosting the Africa-Nordic countries meeting in 2025 and the visit of the British Minister for Africa indicate a potential thaw in relations with key Western countries. Britain is seen as the lead on Zimbabwe because of its colonial past history in Zimbabwe. It is now interesting to see how these developments might impact governance and international engagement moving forward, especially in the absence of a viable opposition. The funny thing is that after making these positive moves, ZANUPF will always have some idiot who will go ahead and reverse everything through some stupid decision like arresting someone unnecessarily. The opposition has been off-key on international issues for almost two years. It had not directly spoken to the Commonwealth throughout the lead-up to elections and post-election. That is an astounding level of incompetence and cluelessness, but it is what it is. Zimbabwe is waiting for its readmission to be ruled on by the Commonwealth, signs are it will be brought back if it fixes a few things. It is sad that the opposition has not involved itself in all this, but ask I always say, countries and organisations deal with what is available. Foreign countries pursue their interests. If it is in the interest of a country or organisation to deal with a rogue regime, it will do so. I said this last year, there is nothing new here. All this was predicted based on how international politics works. We were insulted at the time for saying so, I am sure you now understand why many Western countries have already written off 2028, it is because there is nobody opposing. The world owes us nothing, it is us who have to make the world engage us and hear us, it seems ZANUPF is doing just that while the opposition are bystanders.

As I mentioned earlier last week, Western countries are repositioning their relations with the Zimbabwean government not because it has changed its ways, but because there is no viable alternative route for engagement in Zimbabwe! The opposition is dead like a dodo! It is a welcome move that Zimbabwe will host the Africa-Nordic countries meeting in Harare in 2025. It is better to have the regime inside the international community tent than outside. This will reduce the brutality and crude levels of governance. I am told by my reliable sources that the British Minister for Africa will be coming to Zimbabwe in June, another point of departure from the frosty relationship that was there! There is a shift in international relations dynamics regarding Zimbabwe. Hosting the Africa-Nordic countries meeting in 2025 and the visit of the British Minister for Africa indicate a potential thaw in relations with key Western countries. Britain is seen as the lead on Zimbabwe because of its colonial past history in Zimbabwe. It is now interesting to see how these developments might impact governance and international engagement moving forward, especially in the absence of a viable opposition. The funny thing is that after making these positive moves, ZANUPF will always have some idiot who will go ahead and reverse everything through some stupid decision like arresting someone unnecessarily. The opposition has been off-key on international issues for almost two years. It had not directly spoken to the Commonwealth throughout the lead-up to elections and post-election. That is an astounding level of incompetence and cluelessness, but it is what it is. Zimbabwe is waiting for its readmission to be ruled on by the Commonwealth, signs are it will be brought back if it fixes a few things. It is sad that the opposition has not involved itself in all this, but ask I always say, countries and organisations deal with what is available. Foreign countries pursue their interests. If it is in the interest of a country or organisation to deal with a rogue regime, it will do so. I said this last year, there is nothing new here. All this was predicted based on how international politics works. We were insulted at the time for saying so, I am sure you now understand why many Western countries have already written off 2028, it is because there is nobody opposing.

The American ambassador to Zimbabwe, Pamela Tremont, said investment does not come where there is a high cost of doing business through corruption, she said such an environment is corrosive. She said this in Harare this week while speaking at the 249th American Independence commemoration. Pamela Tremont likened corruption to a cancer draining Zimbabwe of its valuable resources, warning that it has severely undermined trade and investment in the country. “A strong stance against corruption is also imperative, as it is corrosive to an investment climate. I strongly encourage efforts to fight this cancer in Zimbabwe’s economy that robs the Zimbabwean people of the benefit of their precious resources and raises exponentially the cost of doing business in Zimbabwe,” she said. Zimbabwe is the most corrupt country in Southern Africa, and most of this corruption is driven by Emmerson Mnangagwa himself and his criminal cartels. He stole US$3 billion in his first month as president through Command Agriculture, after toppling Robert Mugabe in a military coup led by his now Vice President, General Constantino Chiwenga, whom he has vowed will never succeed him. In 2017 when he came to power, Zimbabwe ranked 157th out of 180 countries on Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), with a score of 22 out of 100, indicating a high level of perceived public sector corruption . As of the latest available data for 2024, Zimbabwe’s CPI score has declined to 21 out of 100, placing it at 158th out of 180 countries. This marks its worst performance since 2015 and as I said earlier, positions Zimbabwe as the most corrupt country in the SADC region.

THAILAND Zimbabwe’s Miss Universe contestant is supported by a team led by Col Miniyathabo Baloyi -Chiwenga who is Vice President Chiwenga’s wife. The team includes other high profile individuals like Ms Zodwa Mkandla and Hatiperi. “This pageant is very important for those who have been following. We only came back in 2022 after 22 years of being outside the Miss Universe Pageant. We know that, due to sanctions, Zimbabwe withdrew from a lot of international activities. But in 2022, we returned to the international stage and this is really important because when our girl performs on stage, everyone will see Zimbabwe and that brand becomes highly visible. People will know that there is a country called Zimbabwe and based on the performance we have delivered over the last two years, we are hoping to elevate the Zimbabwean brand.”
