Zimbabwe’s Carbon Trading Regulations Are Now Law (SI 48 of 2025)! The new Carbon Trading (General) Regulations repealed SI 50 of 2023 and are now part of Zimbabwe’s legal framework. But carbon markets are complex, and communities and other stakeholders - who are directly impacted or benefit from them - need to understand them with clarity. Therefore, we have created a simplified explainer to: ✅ Demystify the law for communities, investors, NGOs & gov’t agencies. ✅ Protect community rights by ensuring you understand your stakes in carbon projects. ✅ Encourage investors to invest responsibly by complying with environmental and social safeguards. ✅ Empower all stakeholders with accessible insights on what SI 48 of 2025 means. This is about fairness, transparency, and ensuring Zimbabwe’s climate action benefits people and the Planet. 👉 Read our analysis & recommendations: bit.ly/4odCb7p To get you started, here are 13 key points to look out for 👇👇👇

The town clerk of Harare which can’t provide any meaningful service to its citizens earns US$144,000 a year plus perks on top of that. His perks include housing, education for kids, cellphone airtime, entertainment allowance, and medical aid. To put this into context, several Western leaders earn annual salaries below that of the Harare City town clerk. Here are some examples:👇🏿 Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa President of Portugal, earns approximately $108,400 USD annually. Katerina Sakellaropoulou President of Greece, has an annual salary of about $113,520 USD. Michael D. Higgins President of Ireland, earns around $120,000 USD per year. Guðni Th. Jóhannesson President of Iceland, earns $75,132 USD. Sauli Niinistö President of Finland, earns about $141,367 USD annually. Zimbabwe is being mismanaged and looted at every level of governance, it is a massive disaster. Harareans walk on top of sewage and have no clean drinking water, yet the crooks at council are looting it ruthlessly!
