Carlos Lopes, a leading development economist and a fervent voice for Africa’s transformation, reminds us that: “The current global disorder presents an opportunity for power to be exercised in new ways. But the window will not stay open forever. The rules will be rewritten. The only question is: will Africa be one of the authors?” We will #SADC rewrite the rules or we will allow the patterns of extraction to continue in-spite of our endowment of critical minerals. #SADCRetreat #SADCSA

WATCH | Former president Thabo Mbeki says Africa will remain in poverty if it stays fragmented, stressing the need for unity and collective action to unlock the continent’s full potential.

Reporter 🇺🇸 : Is the war really about Iran’s nuclear program? CHINA 🇨🇳 : “No it's all about oil.” Reporter: Why so? CHINA: “A warmongering Israel has nuclear weapons, but Iran — the oldest civilization — can’t have them. That’s America’s biggest double standard.” A slap in the face of global hypocrisy: Israel possesses a nuclear arsenal without accountability or oversight, while Iran is forbidden even from dreaming of defending itself. This is the ugly face of Western policy.

@iamBlessingM "You don't get things done by waiting to feel like an expert again. You get things done by being an operator who is willing to learn while they move." Profound!

@SRavengai @mama_pulse Keep drowning in that lie. I can see how Zanu's history poisoned you. 250k WHITES were what? Some were of British origin, yes (wanted nothing to do with Britain), and others were South Africans of Dutch origin. Stop showing your ignorance on a public platform. You're embarrassing

@Zakithi1607 @mama_pulse You are hallucinating. Smith and 250k white folks were British. Britain only saved Smith from an embarrassing military defeat.

While Zimbabweans expend their energies bashing their human capital brand, folks who have worked with Zimbabweans see something different, something to smile about, something to cherish and protect. Hear this one👇

Jane Street pays $750K/ year for quants who know how to apply probability theory and Markov chains in quant trading. this 1-hour MIT lecture on "Probability Theory" gives you the same edge quants get paid $60K/month for. Bookmark it & watch today. Then read the article below.

Zimbabwe’s fast-tracked entry into the BRICS New Development Bank (NDB) is a calculated structural leap over the old monopolies and a link to a new multipolar reactor for our economy. This was apparent this May 2026 when Finance Minister Prof. Mthuli Ncube travelled to Moscow for the 11th Annual Meeting of the NDB.

@SRavengai Fact: The more educated the least courageous one gets! They absolutely fight for nothing!! Become liberal to a point of stupor!! So yea! Sadly Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 may never rise again! They are gone!!

@SRavengai @mama_pulse Misconception. In fact, in 1980, it was the British who won against Smith, not the African. The British are still in charge of basically all of Southern Africa after all white settlers were politically dislodged by the British, particularly in Zimbabwe and South Africa.

@mama_pulse And they fought viciously from 1964 to 1979 to defeat the British and you seem to arrive at a conclusion not supported by praxis or evidence?

x.com/alvinfoo/statu… In 7 days, Zimbabwe celebrates Independence Day 46 years ago, the flag went up. Today, the work begins. 🇿🇼 Technocracy over Democracy. Independence isn't a ballot box event; it is a structural engineering problem. For Zimbabwe to move from the periphery to the centre, we must transition from the theatre of Democracy to the discipline of Technocratic Realism. Socrates warned us: you don’t vote on who steers the ship in a storm; you find the navigator who knows the stars. We have spent decades prioritising "representation" over "competence." True sovereignty is found in the engine room, not the soapbox. Political freedom is an illusion without fiscal-industrial architecture. We need an asset-backed currency, one powered by tangible industrial output. Following Hamilton, the state must guide the economy toward manufacturing and mastery, not just extraction. The era of performative populism is over. We need a "Computational State" where data, not dogma-driven policy. A meritocratic civil service that uses stochastic modelling to maximise national stability and growth. Systems over ideology. Always. In a multipolar world, we don't choose sides; we exercise agency. We build South-South tech alliances based on pragmatic, game-theoretic interests. We stop being a pawn in the "Great Game" and start becoming an indispensable node in the global grid. The first liberation gave us the right to be a nation. The second must give us the power to be a civilisation. It's time to trade the "theatre of the ballot" for the "discipline of the laboratory." Let’s get to work on the machine. #ZimIndependence #Technocracy #HeptapodNuclear #DevelopmentalPragmatism @admire_dube #CAB3 constitution of zimbabwe 2030 @citezw @NewsDayZimbabwe @HeraldZimbabwe @NewsHawksLive #zimat46 #Vision2030

@bla_bidza @NRZ263 Companies like NRZ need leadership with an engineering background, call Ralph Mupita and allow him to pick his team. The Minister of Transport and the Minister of Energy must be engineers. Then watch and learn

Good to see @NRZ263 has recruited a top notch CEO with an in depth experience in resource mobilisation, project management and business management. And him and myself we are both University of Leeds alumni. Leeds University is in The Russell Group by the way. Well, that aside, Zimbabwe must focus on revamping its rail system in order to lessen the burden on road infrastructure.

@emmanuelpilime @matinyarare What is wishful about that thought?

@matinyarare @Zakithi1607 That is wishful thinking cde.

𝗜𝗙 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗠𝗡𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗔𝗚𝗪𝗔 𝗚𝗢𝗘𝗦, 𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗔𝗣. I think right now there's consensus that Kuda Tagwirei will likely take over, if he survives attempts on his life. He's the only person I see who can compete against Chamisa and win, and he's the only one who has stepped up to the plate. General Chiwenga on the other hand hasn't openly shown a desire to lead, and I'm not sure he has what it takes to beat Tagwirei's momentum. Kuda is attractive because he's young, business-minded, and has a proven track record of solving national problems by eliminating fuel queues, strengthening ZANU PF financially, and funding command agriculture. Another issue many overlook is Kuda has powerful friends as a member of the World Economic Forum. This is why he was the only Zimbabwean who could get fuel from the biggest commodity brokers in the world - Glencore and Trafigura - while the country was under sanctions designed to deprive the country of fuel controlled by the U.S.. It’s obvious that Swiss and British controlled Glencore and Trafigura could not have given Tagwirei fuel to give a sanctioned country, without license from the US Treasury and British government. The man clearly has Western support, and with partners in the WEF, he can easily acquire capital to inject into our economy to revive our infrastructure through his companies in a few years as he did with fuel. If you ask me, sanctions on him are just a veil to hide his real allies, hence when we removed the executive order sanctions, he wasn't interested in us (ZASM) fighting the sanctions on him and the President. It’s also why the West has no problem with Chamisa being out of Zimbabwean politics, because they have a man inside ZANU PF. Over the next few weeks, I'll write more on this subject and how Kuda controlling Zimbabwe's title deeds through his company that is registering title deeds and his banks, will get capital to grow Zimbabwe but it will change who controls Zimbabwean land in future. The above speaks to Kuda’s very concerning flaws: he's arrogant, self-centered, greedy, conniving, and his word means nothing - he doesn't honor promises. He doesn't want to pay people for their work, yet he's a billionaire today from being paid in full, and more, for his work. He displays the same traits of the colonizer. I also believe he also lacks maturity hence today's irrational violence against opposition and jailing of opposition is largely perceived as being influenced by him or done by people he pays. If this is not caused by immaturity, then it’s clearly a strategy to sabotage the current administration. Sadly for him, President Mnangagwa is said to be eyeing another term extension to 2037 after the 2030 extension. It's perceived that after that, the plan is for him to be replaced by his son, who by then will be a Major General in the army. This means Kuda's dream of being President might face a challenge, and of course, if this is true then he must watch his back. Unbeknown to most, there's another dark horse, Chris Mutsvangwa. He is a diplomat at heart, very smart and loved by the Chinese, Americans and white South African business. He has the capacity to rip the rug from under all their feet, if Kuda doesn’t deliver. I also see another silent and very capable Chigananda who can surprise all of them, but I will leave his story for another day.

@matinyarare A Tagwirei-Mthuli Ncube ticket could redefine ZanuPF and NATIONAL politics

@matinyarare I see, you are right.

@Zakithi1607 I don’t dispute that, but none of them have the momentum and finances to campaign like Kuda.

@matinyarare @baba_juju91 What's your opinion on Mthuli Ncube? He has the international cred and appeal, well-connected in the WEF, IMF and World Bank. Yes, PV high.

@baba_juju91 PV high. Mama Oppah I’m not sure. Is she interested though? First last I think will be rejected because it reminds people of the Grace Mugabe scenario.
