Hopewell Chin’ono@daddyhope·
I would like to wish all my compatriots a happy Independence Day, happy Independence Zimbabwe. The independence of our country, unlike many other African countries, came through blood that was shed. There are so many Zimbabweans who lie in unmarked graves from Tanzania to Zambia to Botswana to Mozambique, and they put their lives on the line so that you and I could have the independence that we did not have under colonial rule. There is a distinct difference between those who fought for the independence of our country and died, never seeing an independent Zimbabwe, and those who took over from colonial rule and then destroyed our country through incompetence, corruption, and many other afflictions that should never have been there. I am in no doubt at all that had our country not become independent, I and many Black citizens would probably not be where we are today, thanks to the early gains of independence. Sadly, I now find myself as a journalist and a Zimbabwean with NO freedom to speak, to write, and to exist as a full citizen in my country post independence after the derailment of the independence dream. Many of our people did not have the opportunities that I personally got, and many others got, to advance our lives. It is unfortunate that we find ourselves where we are today, not because independence is bad, but because we ended up with selfish, corrupt, and incompetent individuals who abandoned the principles and aspirations that inspired many Zimbabweans to go out there and fight so that their country could be free. So on this day, when we celebrate 46 years of independence, the same zeal and drive that defined those who died fighting for our country must be carried forward by those who are alive today, to make sure that the country is restored to where it is supposed to be. Zimbabwe is one of the richest countries under the sun. It has almost every mineral that you can think of, and it has some of the best soils in the world. There is no reason for any Zimbabwean to be unemployed, to fail to earn an income, or to go to bed on an empty stomach. There is absolutely no reason for any Zimbabwean to struggle if the country is led by people who know what they are doing and who put the country first, the national interest first, ahead of their own selfish needs. Whilst colonialism was a terrible stain on the history of our country, there are lessons that can be drawn from that period. Rhodesia was run like a business, not like a fiefdom. The fact that most of the central hospitals that exist today were built during the colonial period, with the exception of Chitungwiza, tells us that infrastructure was prioritised, even if it was designed to serve a minority. That reality does not excuse colonial injustice, but it exposes the scale of failure after independence. Forty-six years later, the government has built only one central hospital. Around 2,500 women die every year during childbirth due to a lack of adequate maternity facilities. The largest hospital in Zimbabwe still relies on a maternity theatre built in 1977, and even then only one of its two theatres is functional, with the working one having been refurbished by a South African bank. That is a damning indictment on the current leadership. The fact that millions of Zimbabweans have been forced to leave the country to take up menial jobs in South Africa, as waiters or farm workers, is an indictment on the current leadership. The fact that people like myself and many others have had to leave home out of fear for our lives is an indictment on the current leadership. Whilst the leadership has failed, we as citizens of Zimbabwe also carry a responsibility towards our country, in whatever space we occupy. We must stop following personalities and start following ideas, whether in the ruling party or in the opposition. Our country has been destroyed because we follow personalities, many of whom are vacuous and empty, and when they fail, they drag the nation down with them as our leaders have done. We must not wait for a Messiah to come and save us from the afflictions we face today. We have a responsibility to do what is right for our country. During the liberation struggle, leaders were changed at different points because the struggle was never about personalities, it was about an idea, an independent Zimbabwe where every Zimbabwean, black, white, green, or yellow, has the same rights and opportunities to pursue a better life. So as we celebrate, and we should celebrate, we must also reflect on our responsibilities going forward. We celebrate because independence itself was a noble idea and remains a noble idea. When things are bad, you do not burn down the house, you fix what is broken. We must honour and remember those who lost their lives so that people like myself could go to college, become journalists, and be recognised internationally, as many Zimbabwean professionals have been, some even advising presidents across the continent and beyond. Zimbabwe has some of the most accomplished people anywhere in the world, and it should not be where it is today. It is therefore up to us, as Zimbabweans, to make sure that we do what is right for our country. Once again, happy Independence to my compatriots, and thank you to all the stalwarts who laid down their lives for us to be independent and to the countries that supported our struggle. We could not have achieved independence in 1980 without Mozambique, Zambia, Tanzania, Botswana, and many others who stood with us. They did well for us and we thank them. It is those who destroyed the country who should hang their heads in shame today. My heart bleeds when I see so many young Zimbabweans with university degrees, yet ending up as victims of drug abuse because there is no work to go to. There are no opportunities available that are aligned with what they went to university to study. It is a tragic indictment of the situation we find ourselves in today. Today we have become a nation where boreholes are being drilled in the middle of cities because the rulers have failed to do something as basic as delivering water into people’s homes. Today we have become a nation where the rest of the region laughs at us because our roads are riddled with potholes, yet the leadership drives Ferraris on those same roads. Today we have become a nation where even our O-level pass rate has not gone beyond 34% because of the failure of leadership to do what needs to be done. Today we cannot even feed ourselves. We have to rely on food aid, and yet we were once colloquially referred to as the breadbasket of the region. These are some of the realities we should reflect on. I could go on and on, but at this point, it is not necessary. To our leaders, I say, how does it feel when you hear the very people you lead saying Ian Smith was better, when they say colonialism was better? How do you feel? Or do you even feel anything at all when those words are spoken? Of course, colonialism was brutal. Of course, Ian Smith was a racist leader who upheld a minority regime built on exclusion and oppression. But it is a damning indictment of your failed leadership that some of our own people now feel pushed to the point of romanticising that dark past. Independence was meant to usher in dignity, opportunity, and shared prosperity for every Zimbabwean, regardless of colour or creed. It was meant to restore ownership of our future to the people. Yet today, you cannot deny that a small, privileged few are the primary beneficiaries of that independence, while the overwhelming majority are trapped in poverty, penury, and relentless suffering. That is not what liberation was fought for. However, nothing can justify a failure to be grateful to those who fought and died for the independence of our country. They did their part. It is now up to us to do our part and ensure that our country becomes what it is meant to be. Happy Independence Zimbabwe.

IGNITING THE INDEPENDENCE PROMISE- ZIMBABWE @46 CAB3 is a grave assault and attack on the Independence Promise. The Independence Promise was a promise of freedom. A promise of one man, one vote. A promise of dignity and sovereignty. A promise of justice. A promise of peace. A promise of tolerance. A promise of unity and oneness. A promise of success for the African citizen. A promise of opportunity for young people. A promise of dignity in retirement and social security. A promise of better education, better health care and social services. A promise of good government and good governance upon inclusive national processes and self-determination. A promise of hope. That is the PROMISE, and that PROMISE has been BROKEN. We are now notorious in the negatives. We consistently hit the lowest benchmarks and score highly in the negatives. We are more divided than ever before. We are more apart than ever before. We are poorer than ever before. We are the more depressed people than ever before. We are more oppressed people than ever before. We are the more disappointed people than ever before. We are more disillusioned people than ever before. WE, THE CITIZENS, reiterate that only a political and constitutional settlement that gives birth to a citizen- and nation-centred government, anchored by credible national processes and outcomes, is the credible pathway towards the restoration of the Independence Promise—the road from the Independence Promise into true transformation. Let this be our charge to history: that we did not inherit a broken promise and accept it, but that we rose, united in purpose, to restore it. This is our duty. This is our moment. Let us ride in UNITY and PURPOSE to fulfill the liberation promise, that transformation promise. ~nc #RestoreThePromise #NotYetUhuru

@DougColtart When the gallant fighters took to the forests to fight they were fighting for a better life for all and freedom. Now over 40 years gone it does look like the mission was hijacked and we are back at 1. Today the feeling is not yet Uhuru. The fight is on!

Citizens' Coalition for Change
Zim Fuel Still Expensive Despite Strait of Hormuz Reopening The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) has announced a slight reduction in fuel prices following the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, but costs remain high for consumers. Diesel now sells at $2.09 per litre, down from $2.11, while petrol has dropped to $2.08 per litre from $2.23. The adjustment comes after Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz, which had been disrupted by Israeli and US strikes. The strait is the world’s most critical maritime oil chokepoint, linking the Persian Gulf to the open ocean. Roughly 20%–25% of global seaborne oil and 20% of liquefied natural gas (LNG) pass through it daily, serving as the sole outlet for many Middle Eastern exporters. Despite the reopening, Zimbabwean motorists continue to face some of the highest fuel prices in the region.

LATEST | Zimbabwe reacts fast as opening of Strait of Hormuz drives fuel price cut HARARE – Zimbabwe has swiftly moved to capitalise on easing global oil tensions, slashing fuel prices just hours after Iran signaled the reopening of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global energy flows. In a decisive response, authorities announced a downward review of pump prices, positioning the move as both a stabilisation measure and a signal of confidence in improving supply dynamics. The development underscores how rapidly shifting geopolitical currents are now feeding directly into domestic pricing structures. The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) confirmed that, effective April 17, diesel will now retail at US$2.09 per litre, while blend (E20) will cost US$2.08, a notable retreat from the April 2 price regime which had seen petrol climb to US$2.23 and diesel to US$2.11. The adjustment reflects a combination of softer international oil prices and deliberate policy intervention, including tax relief measures and an aggressive shift in blending ratios from E5 to E20 to ease pressure on consumers and industry. In a carefully calibrated statement, the government struck a reassuring tone, emphasising that supply remains secure with stocks sufficient for over three months, while firmly discouraging panic buying. Authorities signaled that market-sensitive pricing will remain a central tool as volatility persists, with ZERA maintaining a tight monitoring cycle over the coming weeks. The message is clear, Harare is leaning into global tailwinds, using them to temper domestic cost pressures while projecting control in an otherwise unpredictable energy landscape.
