Centre for Researchfor Peace&Development in Africa

According to AU, "Women have historically played significant roles in peacebuilding efforts in Africa, often at the grassroots level, where they have demonstrated their ability to bring communities together, promote dialogue, and address the root causes of conflicts. Their unique perspectives and experiences offer valuable insights into conflict prevention and resolution". #HerVoice

A good move that requires enforcement measures to ensure compliance that protect the environmental damage done in Penhalonga area and other mining communities @nickmangwana @EMAeep @CNRG_ZIM @ZELA_Infor @UsaidZimbabwe @MinistryMines @fadzyMislee @ManicaYouth @crdzimbabwe

Much more could be said about the nature and history of Zimbabwe.peacebuilding must address the structural conditions that generate and sustain conflict, build constructive relationships , and ultimately ground sustainable peace in a reconstituted public space @HealZim @zp

There is an urgent need for collaborative action and collective efforts to better address resource conflict and put an end to the climate injustices.Our goal is to restore health mining communities @ZELA_Infor @CNRG_ZIM @UsaidZimbabwe @ActionAidZim

Allowing companies that are illegal to exploit Penhalonga natural resources sends a corrupt message to ministry of mines and EMA that persistence can still take precedence over the environment and human rights of local people @CNRG_ZIM @ActionAidZim @TI_Mining

Today we join the world in celebrating the International Day of Living Together in Peace. With this day we continue to urge communities to promote peace, tolerance, inclusion, understanding & solidarity. We must desire to live and act together, united in differences&diversity

Ministry of mines is tactically delaying the stance to fomalise Artisinal miners, withholding EPOs thus depriving, undermining and violating the ASM rights and diplomatically making them illegal and unrecognized miners. @ZELA_Infor @MinistryMines @CNRG_ZIM @OxfaminZim @macua_sa

The previous mines and mineral Bill of Zimbabwe allows minister of mines to declare at any time mineral strategic which is unbalanced, and incompetent" therefore we support reconstitution and recomposition of the Bill @CNRG_ZIM @TIZim_info @ActionAidZim @LymanMlambo

The realisation of sustainable peace and development is achievable if all people are treated equally and fundamental freedoms and human rights guaranteed. As we celebrate #Zim44 let us remind our leaders to uphold and protect #HumanRights

The requirement for one to mine strategic minerals in Zimbabwe is now $100 million usd against $1 million usd we used to known in bill during consultations...Does the bill of mines envision to support local investors ? @CNRG_ZIM @ZELA_Infor @macua_sa @ZIMCODD1

Kamativi Mine open for business. Lithium mining can be more sustainable by adopting responsible mining practices, engaging in community consultation & enhancing policies, balancing the growing demand for lithium with the need to protect the environment & support local communities

Skepticism exists regarding ZiG’s impact on inflation. Zimbabwe’s history of currency failures highlights the need for more than just a change in currency. Addressing corruption, building reserves, and committing to long-term monetary policies are essential.
