@Roy_BME @nelsonchamisa Proud to see our founder on the @WebSummit stage. Zimbabwe’s digital future is being built right now.

@nelsonchamisa I was actually there this year representing Zimbabwe on stage. Amazing conversations happening, our country is ready to lead in the digital age.

AFRICA’S LEADERSHIP IN THE DIGITAL AGE..Fellow Africans, brothers and sisters across our great continent and beyond , It is with great hope that I draw your attention he recent gathering of minds and innovation at the Web Summit 2026 held in Lisbon, Portugal—a landmark moment not only for global technology but for Africa’s rising role on the world stage. High-level summary * Over four days, global leaders in technology, investment, policy and entrepreneurship convened to exchange ideas on the future of artificial intelligence, climate tech, digital infrastructure, start-ups and the global economy. * The event attracted thousands of participants, including significant representation from African countries. * Key themes included: digital inclusion and connectivity (ensuring no region is left behind), responsible AI and governance, green innovation and sustainable tech, and the scaling up of start-ups from under-represented geographies. * Importantly, the Summit underscored how technology is no longer simply a sector in isolation but a foundational enabler for economic transformation, job creation, governance improvement and regional integration. Significance & lessons for Africa
As Africans, we must see in this global assembly not just a spectacle of technology, but our opportunity to write the narrative and claim our place in the digital future. The lessons for us are many: * Connectivity equals opportunity: If our countries invest in broadband, mobile networks, digital infrastructure, we unlock access to global markets, services, education and health. The Summit showed that regions connected to the digital grid are better positioned to leapfrog legacy barriers. * Leapfrogging through innovation: The discourse at the Summit reminded us that Africa does not need to replicate old industrial models. We can utilise tech – from mobile fintech to agri-tech drones to smart cities – to tackle unique African challenges, and perhaps become world leaders in those solutions. * Governance and policy matter: Technology without sound regulatory frameworks and inclusive policy will deepen inequality. The Summit highlighted how responsible AI, data rights, and digital fairness are as critical as the hardware and software. Africa must craft its own rules, suited to our realities. * Start-ups are the engine of change: Across the Summit halls, start-ups from emerging markets were on stage. Africa’s entrepreneurs must be recognised globally, attract investment, and be connected into global value chains rather than merely local ones. * Partnerships and global integration: The event confirmed that tech ecosystems are global. Africa must engage, not as passive recipients, but as equal partners: sharing ideas, co-creating, exporting solutions, and bringing home value rather than only importing technology. Call to Action
In light of all this, I propose three concrete steps for our continent: 1. Prioritise Digital Infrastructure & Access
Let each African government and regional body commit to substantially increasing connectivity, broadband, mobile-data, affordable devices, so that every young person, rural farmer, and urban entrepreneur is digitally connected. 2. Foster Home-grown Innovation Ecosystems
Let us support African start-ups, research centres and tech hubs with funding, mentorship and market access, so that our innovations scale globally, not just locally. We must build the next generation of African tech champions. 3. Shape Inclusive & Responsible Digital Policy
Let us adopt forward-looking laws and frameworks around data protection, AI ethics, digital inclusion and cybersecurity that reflect African values and realities. We must become rule-makers, not only rule-followers. Fellow Africans, the Web Summit in Lisbon showed us that the future is being built now, and Africa must not watch from the sidelines. Let us move with purpose, harness our talent, seize the moment, and write our own chapter in the digital age. #NewAfrica

When banking costs $10 just to exist, inclusion isn’t real, it’s rhetoric. @ZimXWallet changes that: no monthly fees, transparent reserves, built for the diaspora and everyday Zimbabweans. Real access. Real inclusion. Watch this space.

@admire_dube Great breakdown, Doc. This is exactly why we built #ZimXWallet, no monthly fees, instant access, and transparent on-chain reserves. Financial inclusion has to start with fair access, not hidden charges. #ZimXFinance

𝐙𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐬 2025: 𝐖𝐡𝐨’𝐬 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞? ➖After going through the latest October 2025 banking tariffs, this is the compiled comparison of charges across 12 major banks in Zimbabwe. ➖CBZ is not listed herein because their site was “download-proof” (if that’s the technical term) and for time constraints didn’t bother doing “manual.” Non-mainstream banks (like Metbank) and Treasury-backed banks like Empowerment Bank are also another omission. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝑸𝒖𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝑰𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔: Average Individual Maintenance Fee: $5.20/month 𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐬𝐭: Stanbic Bank Zimbabwe at $2/month 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭: CABS ZIMBABWE at $10/month Corporate Maintenance (Avg): $34.8 𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐬𝐭: BancABC Zimbabwe ($15) 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭: FBC Holdings Limited ($100) 𝑫𝒆𝒃𝒊𝒕 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝑭𝒆𝒆𝒔: Range: $0 Nedbank Zimbabwe Limited → $10 AFC Commercial Bank ➖Nedbank Zimbabwe Limited wins on paper but you’ll still need a minimum balance to qualify, so the card isn’t exactly free. 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐥 & 𝐀𝐓𝐌 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐬: ➖Almost all banks charge circa 3% per withdrawal. 𝐀 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬: ZB Financial Holdings & CABS ZIMBABWE: 2.5% TNCyberTech (formerly Steward Bank): 2% ➖And yes ,TN Cyberbank, which rebranded from Steward Bank in May 2025, is still using the old 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐤.𝐜𝐨.𝐳𝐰 𝐰𝐞𝐛𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞. Rebranding department is outpacing their IT department. No. Actually, as Zim’s first neo-bank I believe IT is seized with more pressing matters. 𝐀 𝐁𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: ➖Earlier this year, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe said that bank charges had long been a burden for Zimbabweans, eating away at savings and discouraging digital payments, BUT, from observations, most banks aren’t following through (or is it the RBZ that’s not). ➖Even First Capital Bank still charges maintenance fees on accounts below $100 and yes, your account can drift into negative balance just from fees alone. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬: ➖For an average low-value account holder, monthly bank costs can easily hit $7–$10, excluding transaction charges. ➖That’s enough to discourage savings and push people back to cash ,the very opposite of the RBZ’s financial inclusion agenda. ➖On an interesting note, look out for more neo-banks/wallets that are a few months away from launching (zero account maintenance fees, international use, etc) #BidVerse
