Zimbabwe's President Cde Emmerson Mnangagwa @edmnangagwa recently praised Zambia for its role in his life and rise to power. He said, "All I am today is because of Zambia. I grew up there and completed my primary, secondary, and university education there. Zambia helped shape the person I am today." He spoke at a fundraising dinner in Harare for University of Zambia (UNZA) scholarships, highlighting how the country supported him during his early years and exile. Zambia under President Kenneth Kaunda, proudly hosted many liberation leaders, Oliver Tambo, Joshua Nkomo, Sam Nujoma, and Thabo Mbeki making Lusaka a key safe haven in Southern Africa's fight against colonialism and apartheid. @joseph_kalimbwe @HHichilema @Zambia_Reports @zadama24 @Thuso1Africa @TateChangambika @noto2030

I had a productive meeting today at Munhumutapa Offices with the outgoing Ambassador of Belarus, General Ihar Marshalau, as he concludes his tour of duty in Zimbabwe. 🇿🇼🇧🇾 Our partnership with Belarus continues to strengthen, particularly in agriculture, mechanization, and trade. We thank General Marshalau for his dedicated service in deepening the ties between our two nations. We wish him the very best in his next chapter as we continue to work together for the prosperity of our people. #Zimbabwe #Belarus #Diplomacy #EngagementAndReengagement

The United Kingdom continues to strengthen its position as a key outbound source market for Zimbabwe, ranking second in 2025 with a notable 52% increase in Tourist Arrivals, underscoring its strategic role in Tourism growth, International Diplomacy and Image Building under National Development Strategy 2.

FUEL PRICES, TAXES AND COST OF PUBLIC GOODS NEXUS: ZERA announced fuel adjustments are as shocking as they are understandable. Shocking in the sense that inevitably they are inflationary, against static wages. Apart from higher pump prices, higher fuel costs will be transmitted right across the whole gamut. This is why fuel is regarded as the most inflationary commodity. Understandable in that the upward review stems from a known exogenous shock, against which Zimbabwe has little control. Much like the rest of the world. Yes, we can debate the quantum of fuel adjustment, but not the necessity of it against outward global fact. I was among the first to point out the US/ISRAEL war of aggression against Iran is one hell of a conflict too near for us to ignore. The reaction from the citizenry has been one of shock and exasperation. Again, that is understandable. Exasperation because the fuel-based tax built into our fuel pricing formulae does reach everyone, and places our pump price above everyone else, including jurisdictions to the north of us whose fuel imports travel farther and through our own territory. This is why the debate is now less and less about global fuel prices and more and more about how these interact with our fiscal policy. The timing could not have come at a worse time. Just this Tuesday, Cabinet removed or reduced a whole raft of charges on various services in the hope of improving the cost of doing business. What that means if that the revenue base continues to shrink, and with it, the State’s ability to supply public goods and services, and to meet the costs of running Government. This last dimension is what is not coming through the debate and call to reduce fuel-based charges, namely that the cost the citizen escapes in the form of fuel taxes, catches up with him/her by way of a cutback on social services. Like health and other amenities/public goods. It is a balancing act, more-so now as there is a concerted effort to revamp the health sector following the President’s historic surprise tour to our central hospitals which had deteriorated to parlous state. As we debate options, let us keep this other side of public expenditure in mind, while appreciating the need to keep the momentum on economic growth in mind, in a situation of ongoing efforts to recapture the informal sector into the tax net. Above all, let us focus on the REAL ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM, namely that our economy is unduly susceptible to external shocks. This last yet critical dimension gets us to focus on areas which really matter. Like MUZARABANI gas project!! Like the transition to cheaper sources of energy. Like the shift to EVs. Like doing many things with our coal. Most nations are taking this high road, spurred by this latest shock. While the immediate response might take the form of tinkering with taxation, we must remain focused on strategic responses in the medium to long term. As Trump would say, thank you for your attention to this matter!!!

His Excellency President Mnangagwa @edmnangagwa toured the FIFA-approved football pitch at the Geo Pomona Waste-to-Energy Project site ahead of The Sprout Restaurant Presidential Luncheon, showcasing the project’s growing footprint in sport, energy, and hospitality.

Strengthening institutions, not individuals. Constitutional Amendment No. 3 proposes a harmonized 7-year electoral cycle across the Presidency, Parliament, and Local Authorities to improve policy continuity and governance efficiency. Importantly, presidential term limits remain unchanged, while clear transitional provisions ensure orderly implementation. This is a structural reform aimed at stability, coordination, and long-term national development.

I am pleased to have presided over the signing of the 2026 Performance-Based Contracts at the Harare International Conference Centre this morning. Under the Second Republic, the days of 'business as usual' are behind us. These contracts are not just documents; they are a sacred pact between the Government and the people of Zimbabwe. By aligning our targets with NDS2 and our Vision 2030 goals, we are ensuring that every official, from Ministers to heads of parastatals, is held accountable for delivering tangible results.

PRESIDENT Dr Emmerson Mnangagwa says Zimbabwe’s youthful population holds immense untapped intellectual potential that can drive national development if adequately supported through education and opportunity. zbcnews.co.zw/ed-unza-schola…

How terrible it is for a @ZANUPF_Official member to oppose the Amendment No. 3 Bill. Why would anyone want to replace a proven and capable leader like His Excellency President Mnangagwa @edmnangagwa? Going against a party resolution while still claiming to be a loyal member is nothing short of betrayal. Such actions clearly expose one as a traitor. @marapira_farai @FlyGodIII @TafadzwaMandov2 @Snicki_Katope @Nyarai_ @ChinamasaPA

At a glittering fundraising dinner in #Harare, @edmnangagwa reminded the gathered business community that “Zimbabwe’s youthful population holds immense untapped intellectual potential that can drive national development if adequately supported through education and opportunity.” Speaking as the ED UNZA Scholarship initiative celebrated a US $2.5 million haul, the President highlighted the program he launched in 2019 to fund academically gifted #Zimbabweans for study at the University of Zambia – the very campus where he earned his law degree. HE urged donors and industry leaders to invest in the next generation, arguing that nurturing young talent is the most reliable pathway to a prosperous, self‑sufficient #Zimbabwe @zadama24 @DeptCommsZW @TendayiZinyama @chrissy10charu @CMukungunugwa @Tinoten53374277 @DumisoJnr22247 @ZANUPF_Official @zanupfbyoinfo @oczmk
