The Government of Zimbabwe intends to introduce a Statutory Instrument prohibiting medical aid societies from owning medical service providers such as clinics and pharmacies. Beyond being anti โ€œopen for business,โ€ this move risks decimating the medical insurance sector in the same way policy and monetary instability destroyed confidence in the pension sector. The real problem is not vertical integration by medical aid societies. The real problem is hyperinflation, currency instability and the collapse of confidence in our monetary system. Medical insurance has simply found a way to work around that dysfunction. The proposed SI will likely lead to a sharp increase in medical fees and it is customers who will suffer most. The doctors and pharmacists lobbying for this measure are being anti-business and ultimately, acting against their own long-term interests. A better response would be for them to come together and establish medical aid societies that can rival the existing players. If we destroy medical aid societies, customers will not suddenly rush to private doctors and pharmacies. Many will simply stop using formal doctors and pharmacies altogether, as we have seen in parts of Africa where medical aid systems collapsed.

#ZimbabweansRelocatingFromSouthAfrica I know there are thousands of Zimbabweans who doesnโ€™t have papers in South Africa who are being affected by the tightening immigration policies in South Africa especially due to the following - People will no longer be able to extend their days past 90 days per year. - The proposed 10 000 labour inspectors who will be going to companies to check on immigration statutes of foreign workers among other things. - The ongoing immigration raids inland, a lot of people are being arrested and being deported. - A lot of housing estates have been preventing undocumented people from entering their premises and this affects their earning potentials as a lot of these migrants are self employed as builders, plumbers, painters, gardeners, domestic workers etc - There has been warnings by police to landlords against providing accommodation to illegal migrants. A lot of people will be going back home, there is need for assistance from the Zimbabwean authorities. A lot of these people have their vehicles older than 10 years and their old furniture they are currently using in South Africa. They canโ€™t utilise the returning resident provision because they were not legal in South Africa and a lot of them have not registered for tax purposes. It is my humble suggestion that the government of Zimbabwe allow these citizens to bring in their assets as this will help them to resettle back into the Zimbabwean society. If they are forced to leave their assets in South Africa it will cause a lot of poverty among the returnees. @nickmangwana @Jamwanda2

Uganda ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฌ and Kenya ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ช are in discussions with Aliko Dangote to build a major oil refinery in Tanzania ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฟ. The project is planned for Tanga and aims to reduce East Africaโ€™s reliance on fuel imports from the Middle East. It would process crude from regional producers, including Uganda, and supply countries across the East African Community. Talks are active, with Presidents Ruto and Museveni involved.

We are coming up with a Statutory Instrument to stop Medical Aids from also providing services, as there is a serious conflict of interest threatening the existence of independent medical practice in Zimbabwe. Being the insurer and the provider has resulted in numerous challenges that we seek to correct. Some medical aids are fighting this SI by hook and crook because they have been benefitting from the clear conflict of interest and anti-competitive nature of this arrangement. We notice that the state media seems to have been dragged into this and have not even cared to hear the Govtโ€™s side. We are very disappointed to say the least. Furthermore, on the question of authorship: an opinion must have an author. How can we have an opinion that is said to be done by a "correspondent"? Whose opinion is that? That would make readers believe it is the paper's opinion or a corporate-sponsored opinion. State Media has a responsibility to refuse to publish such. When a "correspondent" is listed instead of a named individual, the reader cannot assess bias, motive, or accountability. Is it the newspaper speaking? A hired public relations firm? An anonymous corporate interest? In matters of public health policy, where billions of dollars and the viability of independent medical practice hang in the balance, anonymity is unacceptable. State Media, in particular, has a duty to model transparency. Publishing unattributed opinions as if they were news or editorial consensus deceives the public and undermines trust. If an opinion is worth publishing, it is worth signing. Govt insists on this principle, and State Media should refuse to publish any opinion piece that hides behind the vague label of "correspondent." heraldonline.co.zw/opinion-zimbabโ€ฆ

@nickmangwana Issues of policy should be left to technocrats and not politicians. Thatโ€™s why the 2nd Deception is always issuing SIs, there is no time to research issues. Instead of banning, rather, set-up an Independent Health Regulator, give teeth to IPEC and Comp & Tariffs Commission.

@nickmangwana @Alois1026 This doesnโ€™t need a new law itโ€™s just needs the law implemented. The conflict & situation was allowed to go on because govt through Psmas was flouting this law given that Psmi was one of the biggest beneficiaries of this hence GOZ looked aside

@nickmangwana @Alois1026 But @nickmangwana the law has always been clear on this. On the SI gor setting up medical aid it clearly outlines medical aid are not allowed to provide medical services. This has been raised in the past meetings especially by PHAZ members. The law just needs to be implemented

Until MPs stick to their families and a reasonable, affordable number of children (not 20) with dozens of small houses, they should be content with what they get paid in commensurate with their service. They are legislators, not money launderers. Temba, you represent the grotesque side of Zimbabwean politics.

@loiceMututuvar1 You will have to approach the court, if you have no funds you can consider go to the nearest court and asking for where you can get free legal advice in your area, usually there are some lawyers who can be able to help pro bono on cases like yours.

A Zimbabwean vlogger was shocked to find a full live chicken selling for about US$2 in India. In Zimbabwe, some of the cheapest chickens are around US$6, while even a day-old chick can cost roughly US$1. That price gap points to a deeper competitiveness problem: input costs, feed prices, energy, transport, finance, and market inefficiencies make local production expensive. If a chick starts at half the price of a mature bird elsewhere, it signals structural costs that make it hard for Zimbabwean producers to compete globally.

PLEASE SHARE๐Ÿ™ | Hi Crime Watch, I kindly ask you to post this and assist me in locating my vehicle. I hired a man named More Nzindira, who is originally from Guruve, as a kombi driver on a trial basis on Wednesday, 15 April. He was expected to officially start work and become fully employed at the end of this week. During his trial period, I allowed him to drive my minibus (kombi) for daily operations. The vehicle is a white Toyota Hiace with registration number AGL 9695. It has no branding or company markings on it (see attached picture for reference). On Sunday, 19 April, he reported for work as usual, carrying passengers from White House to town. Around midday (12 pm), my conductor had to attend to a personal matter and left the driver alone with the vehicle. The driver continued working alone, and we remained in contact by phone, with him assuring me that everything was normal. At around 4 pm, I asked him to return the vehicle home and park it. He said he was still transporting passengers to town and would bring the vehicle after dropping them off. However, around 6 pm, I tried calling him again, but his phone was no longer reachable. It has remained off since then, and he has not returned the vehicle. I have searched all the areas where they were operating, as well as his place of residence, but he has not been seen since the afternoon when he last parted ways with the conductor. I have since been informed by people who knew him from church that he may have been involved in similar incidents before. I kindly ask anyone who may have seen the vehicle or has information on his whereabouts to please contact me on: +263 778 848 707 / +263 718 422 421 Thank you for your assistance.

@NewsDay_Zim @stozvirevaa The optics are bad but in Zimbabwe we lack precision builders. If you just inspect new buildings in Harare CBD or north of Samora shopping malls. The buildings are substandard with silly mistakes. To some people who need high quality itโ€™s worth looking for precision builder.
