Vice President Colonel (Rtd) Dr Kembo Mohadi officially inaugurated the Sukumani Foundation Leadership Development Programme here in @CityofBulawayo on Thursday, heralding a new chapter in youth empowerment across #imbabwe. Launched in May 2025, the initiative is designed to nurture leadership qualities in young people beyond the classroom, reflecting Dr Mohadi’s longstanding commitment to education‑driven transformation. By pairing mentorship, experiential learning and community service, the programme seeks to equip participants with the confidence and skills needed to become proactive change‑makers. In addition to its core leadership focus, the Sukumani Foundation will confront pressing social challenges—most notably drug and substance abuse—through targeted awareness campaigns, counseling services and peer‑support networks. The ceremony, attended by educators, civil‑society leaders and a host of enthusiastic students, underscored the collective resolve to build a resilient, drug‑free generation that can drive sustainable development in the region. #YouthLeadership #Bulawayo #SukumaniFoundation #EmpowerZimbabwe #DrugFreeFuture @Varakashi4edByo @zanupfbyoarea1 @zanupfbyoinfo @BulawayoZoom

This momentous occasion resonates deeply, connecting us to our past and shaping our collective identity. The expedition to retrace and document #KingLobengula’s legacy serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of our ancestors and the continued significance of our history in shaping the present. Let us embrace this opportunity to reflect on our roots, celebrate our resilience strengthen our bonds across borders. #AngoniInxwala #NdebelePride #CulturalHeritage

The Angoni Inxwala ceremony, now unfolding within the historic walls of Elawini Palace in #Zambia, is more than a cultural gathering; it is a living monument to resilience and remembrance. Hosted by the venerable Paramount Chief Mpezeni, the event brings together a distinguished Zimbabwean delegation led by Deputy Chief Secretary Reverend Paul Damasane, symbolising the enduring bonds that tie our peoples across borders. This year’s ceremony marks the culmination of a painstaking expedition that set out two years ago to retrace the last footsteps of #KingLobengula after the fall of the #NdebeleKingdom in the 1890s. Scholars, archivists, and elders trekked from the ruins of #Bulawayo to the plains of the #Zambezi, recording oral histories, mapping forgotten pathways, and uncovering artifacts that illuminate the monarch’s final days of resistance and exile. Their findings have been woven into a powerful narrative that re‑asserts the #Ndebele’s agency in a chapter often narrated only through colonial lenses. The ceremony is a reminder that our histories are not static museum pieces but dynamic forces shaping regional identity, diplomacy, and cultural revival. In every knot of the traditional beadwork, in every chant lifted to the sky, the legacy of Lobengula endures, urging us to honour the past while forging a future rooted in unity and pride #AngoniInxwala2026 #ElawiniPalace #ChiefMpezeni #ReverendDamasane #KingLobengula #NdebeleHistory #ZambiaZimbabweUnity #LivingHeritage @citezw @CityofBulawayo @Bulawayo24News @BulawayoForever @SkyzMetroFM @khulumanifm95 @Kamogelo0051

Happy birthday 🎂 the Flying Elephant

@RealPeterNdlovu "Nsukuzonke" Ndlovu, affectionately known as “Umalume,” turns 53 today. Born on 25 February 1973 here in @CityofBulawayo, the “City of Kings and Queens,” he has etched his name into football history at every turn. Ndlovu made history as the first African to ply his trade in #Europe, paving the way for countless players from the continent. Perhaps his most iconic moment came in March 1995 when he became the first player ever to net a hat‑trick at Anfield, leading a stunned @Coventry_City to a 3‑2 victory over @LFC feat still celebrated by fans worldwide. After hanging up his boots, the @HighlanderBosso legend transitioned to management at @SundownsFC_, now currently shaping the future of @ScottlandFC as team manager. Today we celebrate not just a birthday, but a legacy of pioneering spirit, relentless passion, and endless inspiration. Happy birthday, legend 🎂⚽️ @CastleLagerPSL @Highlandersfc1 @Highlandersfczw @HonSakupwanyaK @Varakashi4edByo @Bulawayo24News @ZimWarriorsZone @zimwarriors @ZBCNewsonline

As a player, @RealPeterNdlovu dazzled on the pitch with his incredible talent and now as a manager, he continues to lead and inspire the next generation of players at @ScottlandFC. On this special day, we celebrate Ndlovu's remarkable career and the impact he has had on the sport. His dedication, resilience and unwavering commitment to football serve as a shining example for aspiring athletes everywhere. Wishing a very happy birthday to a true football legend, Peter Ndlovu @CastleLagerPSL @HighlanderBosso

A farmer in #Insiza District, Matabeleland South, has turned his ancestral homestead in the #Wanezi area into a vibrant agro‑tourism hub, providing a vivid illustration of how rural industrialisation and diaspora capital can reshape the countryside. The once‑subsidised plot now boasts a sleek, climate‑controlled milk parlour, a 34 kV solar power system that fuels the entire complex, a flourishing citrus orchard and a modern piggery—all hallmarks of intensive mixed farming. By inviting visitors to experience farm‑to‑table fresh produce, guided tours of the solar‑powered facilities and hands‑on workshops, the estate has become a living showcase of sustainable, high‑value agriculture. This venture forms part of a growing wave of #diasporan investors who, responding to government pleas for home‑grown economic transformation, are channeling savings back to their rural roots. Their commitment is not only reviving neglected lands but also creating jobs, fostering skills transfer and proving that rural #Zimbabwe can thrive when tradition meets technology #ZimAgriculture #DiasporaImpact #RuralGrowth

Two-year-old Asanda Ndlovu, abducted on Tuesday at Meikles Mall, has been found alive this Thursday morning at a city flat in #Bulawayo. Authorities are expected to release more details on the abduction and recovery @citezw @CityofBulawayo @PoliceZimbabwe @Bulawayo24News

Good news worth sharing

In a gesture that merges sporting tribute with political solidarity, football legend Madinda Ndlovu, the revered Chairman of the Highlanders Legends Team, has been presented with a brand new Toyota Fortuner 2.4 GD-6 4x2, valued at US$72,500, by prominent businessman @wicknellchivayo. The presentation specifically applauds Ndlovu’s vocal support and endorsement of @edmnangagwa’s developmental leadership and the national #Vision2030 agenda. Chivayo framed the luxury vehicle as recognition for Ndlovu’s continued influence, linking his legacy directly to the socio-economic transformation promised under the government’s blueprint—a transformation officials assert will ultimately elevate sports infrastructure and professional football in #Zimbabwe. The celebration thus transcends a simple gift, positioning Ndlovu’s iconic status within the broader narrative of national progress and patriotic alignment.
