Here are the 5 rules of Zimbabwean political debate rangamberi.tumblr.com/post/168541300…

@bla_bidza @EthanMalibongwe Bombistombi nemarori. Foolproof market research. 😄

@RangaMberi @EthanMalibongwe What does it tell on workplace safety? How did they get to those insights in their market analytics? 😂😂

“This is the loudest we’ve heard of complaints from industry…” Speaking at the ZEDCON conference today, Treasury Secretary George Guvamatanga says Zim has had a “year of uninterrupted stability”. Businesses shouldn’t be complaining, he says, while they sell “more beer, more beverages, more chips, more chicken…”

@EthanMalibongwe Agree 100%. Just addressing the particular point on who’s drinking Delta’s beer, and why. Keep seeing this ‘people drinking their sorrows away’ angle.

@RangaMberi I get you, but at least we agree that the economy is not healthy, based on (no comment) 😆 . My point was - we have to use a most robust approach to assess the health of the economy because sales/volumes of a few companies selling low-end goods alone may give spurious results.

@EthanMalibongwe No comment on his take on the economy, 😃 but are beer sales really up because people are drinking “as a coping mechanism”? Delta tells us who’s driving their sales: miners, farmers, construction. We may risk reaching wrong conclusions (just like GG wacho)

@newswireZW High sales in beer, chips, & chicken are not proof of a healthy economy. Those are low-end goods. A strong economy = job creation, industrial output, investment, and household stability. People may drink more beer as a coping mechanism, not prosperity. (Distress spending).

@Mathuthu Since 2022! So, Mo Salah is English.

@RangaMberi Trained there

We do. But they are technically American

It was pretty cool to watch some vechidiki Zim engineers/artisans do their thing at Highland Park Precinct. Sliding it into place. 👌🏾 Engineering is always fascinating. Salute! 🫡

It’s giving ZIMBABWE 🇿🇼

@Mlandeli_Ndlela The new Café Nush at Greenfields. Neat layout. 👌🏾

Nush2Go opening at Cardinals Corner & Sam Levy's. Cafe Nush opening at Greenfields. They keep expanding.

@JoeyK_EDA Nice shots!

Almost ready. MaShops maNyowanyi muna Enterprise Road Zvakare. Hanzi pachauya Spar ne Doppio Zero. Doppio Zero bringing Mediterranean-inspired flavours, barista-made coffee, and signature hospitality to HRE.

@VascoDaGappah Regrettably. 🤦🏾‍♂️

@RangaMberi And that letter got you started in journalism ...😊

Just had a flashback to Ambuya Mlambo playing a Bananarama song on the radio, " Love in the First Degree." "Maiwi maiwi maiwi," she enthused, "mavanzwa here vazukuru vangu ava, vanoimba kani!" That always makes me smile! I wish someone who knew her would write about her life.

@manu_sithole Pakatoipa chaiko.

@RangaMberi Saka panonzii manje apa neshona? Mhoro mudi wechikafu?

Why humans are still needed. (How would YOU translate this?) Food Lover’s Manager: Hey ChatGPT, translate ‘Hello, Food Lover’ into Shona! ChatGPT:

@VascoDaGappah Oh absolutely. A great highlight of a great childhood. 😆 She’d asked kids to write in about their schools and teachers. Mine went: “Fitchlea School is the jewel of our lovely town, Kwekwe.” And something like “our teacher Ms Schultz is from Switzerland”

@RangaMberi You legend, you! Do you remember what it said?

Somewhere over Zimbabwe. 🇿🇼 Just 25 hectares of satisfying agricultural art.

@WillarShoko @baba_nyenyedzi At no point did Econet sell SIM cards at the price of a cow. There was a shortage, as the article you posted says, this drove black market. Funny now to recall that we’d release press statements to announce new “lines”. “011” lines were in fact the most expensive then out there

@Mutape88 @ignitive3_0 Magara hamudi ma investor imi.

At one point a company called Essar wanted to mine iron ore (Manhize) crush it and make a slurry and pump it to Beira for onward transportation to their own country for processing. The argument was no Zesa plus unstable hurumende @ignitive3_0 smile yako manje

@GregTheMarketer Zvakazoenda nepamwe Kuleh 🤦🏾‍♂️

@RangaMberi what happened to this #zimisnow project?

Interesting how things Change! There is a new car showroom coming up at the new Posh Highlands Park Precinct in Harare, Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 20 years ago, it would definitely have been positioned for German Brands Now, it will be occupied by GWM and its Haval Brand

@PChiwetu @matigary Murray & Roberts SA sold 46% M&R Zimbabwe to local guys (Zhanda et al under Zumbani) in 2012. It was for about R10m (then just over US$1m) I think.

@matigary Thought there were two different companies Constain Africa then Murray & Roberts?And Masimba was born from Constain Africa Thought they were 4 main construction companies then Constain,Sisk brothers,Grinaker and Murray & Roberts Maybe iam mistaken

Murray & Roberts has collapsed in South Africa. Many may not know that it operated in Zimbabwe and was listed on the ZSE. Some clever Zimbabwean shareholders took it over and spun it out as Masimba construction. If that hadn’t happened, the Zim operation would probably have collapsed with its SA counterpart, or the SA operation would have drained USD resources from Zimbabwe to drag itself along. Masimba is thriving in Zimbabwe. Do whatever you may with this information.
