Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. 💪🏾🏃🏾😁

@bla_bidza You won't really understand if you are not professional yourself. People should earn these titles. No wonder we have everyone masquerading as Dr here, people want to associate with these professions without putting the much needed effort.

The Engineers Council of Zimbabwe’s position seems unnecessarily restrictive and at most, petty. The term engineer is widely used as a general description for someone who applies scientific knowledge, mathematics, and practical problem-solving skills to solve real-world challenges. The real concern should only arise when someone falsely claims to be a formally accredited or registered engineer, which would be misleading. Globally, the word is often used in a practical, occupational sense, for example, people commonly say “call an engineer” when technical equipment like an office print-photocopy machine needs repair. A narrow definition also risks excluding modern disciplines such as software engineering, which clearly fall within the broader engineering field. Rather than trying to control a widely used term, it would be more effective to promote clear professional distinctions through protected titles, accreditation marks, and recognised post-nominal designations.

@AMakuyana @CdeGuerrilla @andrea_hoxbucks With all due respect, your example was off zvako. Innscor is not the appropriate comparable business at all

@ChaChaChaE66353 @TendaiDara When was the law gazetted

@TendaiDara Delta like many other entities would trade in both currencies local and foreign currency this is a fact right? The Court has delt with this issue before the Delta matter in Inamo Investments (Private) Limited v Zimbabwe Revenue Authority SC 96/23.

Yesterday I tweeted about the Delta vs ZIMRA case but didn’t go into detail. Here is why it matters. Accounting is guided by substance over form. You look at the economic reality. How a business actually operates. What risks it bears. How revenue flows. You report based on that. It is about truth beneath the surface. Tax law in Zimbabwe takes the opposite view. It is built on statute over substance. What the legislation says, even if outdated, ambiguous, or silent at the time, is what stands. There is no room for context. No interest in what made sense. Between 2019 and 2022, Delta earned revenue in both USD and ZWL. They paid all taxes in ZWL. That was not negligence. It was consistent with the reporting currency, the unstable exchange rate environment, and the policy signals at the time. Years later, ZIMRA came back and said taxes must be paid in the same currency the income was earned. USD in. USD tax out. They raised a 73 million US dollar assessment. Delta contested it. They lost at every level of court. The Constitutional Court made it clear. It does not matter if your reasoning was sound. If the statute requires USD, even retroactively, that is what you owe. Delta has already paid over 11 million US dollars under Zimbabwe’s pay now, argue later principle. This rule demands full or partial payment before you can challenge a tax decision in court. This is the reality. You can follow accounting principles. You can act in good faith. You can be consistent. And still be punished. Because statute will always trump substance. It is like being told to bring sadza to a braai, then getting sued because you didn’t bring steak. Meanwhile, the guy who brought nothing gets to keep the cooler box. Delta did not dodge tax. They paid it. Just not in the currency ZIMRA later decided they should have. That was enough to be found guilty of non-compliance in a system that shifted the rules long after the fact. In our country, it is not what made sense that matters. It is what the law later said you should have known all along.

@Mercynicky_ mimi nilidanganyana nilikuwa experienced to a veteran.. i had no room for awkwardness😂 watching porno nyingi in my teenage years came in clutch

I decided to go to the High Court. I wanted a High Court Order declaring Econet duly licensed. But we had a big problem. We did not have enough evidence to prove that the decision by the Technical Committee not to award the License to Econet was irrational and was biased. I prepared my application based on what I had. But I needed a second opinion. A certain Senior Counsel agreed to see me with my draft papers. His advice was that I was wasting Strive’s time and that Strive’s solution was political and not legal. I humbly disagreed and left the Advicate’s chambers. I then decided to contact Mathew Chaskalson Jnr. He is now SC in South Africa. He wasn’t SC at the time. I had met him when he was junior to Wim Trengove SC, the Senior Counsel who argued the case that ended the PTC monopoly! That was the best of the best!! Mathew agreed to look at my papers and he agreed that he would argue the case with me in due course. I faxed the papers to him and he sent me his comments. After I filed the Application, I had to find more convincing evidence. I decided to seek an Anthony Pillar order, authorizing the Sheriff of the High Court to seize the working papers of the Technical Committee and keep them in the High Court for me to peruse them. I obtained the order on an urgent basis. The Committee was caught by surprise. And all the papers were recovered. You won’t believe what I found out!! Firstly there was evidence of the preparation of the tender document!! It had actually been prepared by Telecel International, one of the bidders. There were drafts sent by fax from Jim Galan and Miko Rwayitare of Telecel. There was also communication from local Executives of Telecel! When the powerful become corrupt, they lose restraint! Then there were two ladies in the committee who were writing notes to each other during the deliberations. They wrote in Shona. Tazomubata Strive! We are going to fix him, they wrote. Then there was a professional accountant on the committee. He refused to evaluate the bids on engineering aspects because he was not an engineer! But some non engineers evaluated the bids on engineering aspects even if they evidently knew nothing about engineering. Then there was a professional Engineer who refused to evaluate the bids on Accounting aspects because he was no accountant. But some non accountants proceeded to evaluate the bids on accounting matters even if they knew nothing about accounts! I decided to add up the points on the score sheet to be sure that the Committee had done their sums right. And Lo and behold! The sum that had been put down and announced was not correct. Added correctly Econet had actually won the tender. Not Telecel! I remember I was with Josephine when I was going through all these documents. She would photocopy all the important evidence we would unearth. We were so happy. We left the High Court. And I went looking for Strive!! State interference! I had previously made a few interlocutory applications. They were all going to one Judge. An Indian Judge. In one of the Applications, I wanted to stop the use by the PTC of Econet’s first base station at the Solar Summit. After I filed my urgent application, I negotiated with the Civil Division of the AG’s Office and they conceded my arguments. The lawyer in the AG’s office was Mr Mukonoweshuro. VaChinamasa was the AG at the time. So we agreed to an order by consent and that I would appear and register the order. I appeared before this particular judge. I tendered the order by consent. Those days, tapes would be running. The judge rolled his eyes and screamed at me. He said he had met Mrs Mujuru, then Minister of Telecommunications and said he didn’t believe she had authorised the AG’s office to concede. I stood up, and placed it on record that the judge had actually met one of the litigants. I then told him that as the lawyer of the dominus litis, I was withdrawing the application.

@NathanKuta86426 @Kuzzieighty8 Are you saying he should consider having a separate lease arrangement for the solar system apart in addition to the current one. Can the solar system be used independent from the house occupation?

@Kuzzieighty8 lease exists if there is an identified asset and the lessee has the right to control the use of that asset. In this case, the solar system could be treated as the identified asset. If the party receiving the solar installation (lessee) controls the system's use and derives

@matigary It's all fun and games until it happens to someone very close

According to the company, this is what happened👇🏽 “Statement released by Ming Chang Sino-Africa regarding the incident that happened on January 21, 2025. In the morning hours, Kholwani Dube, an excavator operator employed at Bijou Farm in Gweru, was observed repeatedly disregarding instructions from his supervisors on a construction site. In accordance with company policies and Zimbabwean Labour Laws, Mr. Dube was warned and subsequently suspended from his duties pending a formal investigation into the matter. At approximately 16:00 on the same day, it was reported that Mr. Dube robbed the keys to excavator (Equipment No. 28) from the other driver and drove the vehicle towards supervisors Mr. Hu and Mr. Chen, exhibiting behaviour that posed a serious threat. Despite their efforts to intervene safely, Mr. Dube's actions necessitated immediate reporting to the Farm Manager, Mr. Liu Haifeng, and his deputy, Mr. Huo Haopeng. Dube even attempted to run over the manager LIU Haifeng with the excavator all this while putting other employees and assets at risk. Farm manager fired a warning shot into the sky, taking into account all firearm handling and safety procedures and without harming anyone. During the skirmish, Deputy farm manager HUO Haopeng contacted the police at Gweru Rural Police Station who were unfortunately unable to respond immediately due to transport challenges. Dube then suddenly attacked LIU Haifeng who then defended himself out of instinct, grabbing the driver by the collar. The two were embroiled in a fistfight in which five other employees broke up. It was during the fistfight that Dube stabbed and seriously injured LIU Haifeng on his left leg. Fellow employees disarmed Dube. LIU Haifeng was taken to the hospital for medical treatment, while other employees took the driver to the police. Dube was not injured in the process and is currently in police custody. No other employees were injured. We also regret to state that some publications rushed to publish inaccurate versions of the incident in what appears to be yet another attack on Chinese investors in Zimbabwe using false information. We also take this opportunity to urge the media to verify facts and report accurately without bias. Our company is a law-abiding company and remains committed to best labour and business practices which employ legal conflict resolution strategies. We are also committed to being a part of building Zimbabwe in the productive sectors and creating employment for thousands of Zimbabweans.

@begottensun @ngoni01449528nn If the recipient (donee) declares it as income, are you suggesting the donor gets a deduction for the same donation?

@ngoni01449528nn If I give you a car or $5000 you need to declare it for Tax purposes Chibaba. The law is the law.

Before you ask for or accept a “gift” or acknowledgement for acts like “performing at political rallies” or supporting in the promotion of any party; remember, this has to be be declared as “Income Tax” as it’s NOT a charity. if you receive a gift as compensation for services performed, such as promoting or performing at political party rallies, it is likely to be considered taxable income. This means you would need to report it as part of your gross income and pay the appropriate taxes on it. Somewhere in this teapot country Zimra is owed about $4million USD. The law is the law.

@KMutisi Dereliction of duty or breach of the fiduciary duty is criminal

Auditors’ reports are not criminal investigation reports…. Folks get too excited over these reports, they usually reveal INCOMPETENCE of accounting officers in govt departments most of the time, not necessarily criminality. Machakaire only became Minister in September 2023! Putting his face on these report findings is just ridiculous. Criminality can only be established after further investigation, not by just reading an Audit Report… That’s why some of us don’t waste time commenting on these reports….
