Cabinet has approved plans to temporarily cut selected fuel taxes in a bid to ease rising inflation and shield consumers from global supply disruptions linked to conflict in the Middle East.
The decision, announced after a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, comes as fuel price increases continue to ripple through the economy, particularly in the transport sector where operators have already raised fares.

#dandaroupdates The government will now pay contractors and service providers solely in Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG), in a move aimed at reducing dependence on the US dollar and strengthening the local currency.
Reserve Bank Governor Dr John Mushayavanhu said the policy will not trigger inflation or exchange rate instability, adding that authorities have adequate foreign currency reserves to meet legitimate external payment obligations.

Cabinet approved the review of selected and time‑bound fuel taxes to contain inflationary pressures and safeguard consumer welfare, and considered increasing ethanol blending of petrol from the current E5 to E20 level to reduce the pump price of petrol.

I hope politicians have time to pick random citizens while driving or commuting once in a while. I’m having rich conversations with people i am traveling with. What they are saying about the state of affairs is quite far from what we spread as facts on this application.

📹 Maidei Dzinoreva, a nurse at Parirenyatwa Hospital, says nurses earn $250 and another portion in ZiG. This money is so little to cover their expenses, she says, sometimes they forgo lunch.
“It’s stressful when you try and balance this money with your daily needs,” she says.

@LloydMavakise But this issue was addressed Doc, the government is reviewing salaries for all civil servants in April. Remember, this geopolitical conflict is beyond everyone’s control and is affecting all countries worldwide over.

Hazel our government must be proactive. It was imminent that when the first bullet was fired at Iran on the 28th February 2027 a well meaning government should have known that fuel supply maybe disrupted .So possibilities of shortage was also around the corner.All what our government is doing including possibility of increase in April 2026 now could have been done immediately as it affects employees too.Its brutally unreasonable to expect its employees to be at work when means of transport has gone up 50% to 100%.

It seems as if some of our nurses at the two biggest hospitals, Sally Mugabe and Parirenyatwa Hospitals, have been conducting demonstrations and strikes, calling for a salary increment. It is prudent for these nurses to look at the bigger picture by focusing more on executing their mandate and continuing to be the key custodians of our health sector. As such, it is necessary for them to return to work because their matter is already a work in progress, we have a listening government that promised to review the salaries of all civil servants this coming April. Furthermore, the nurses' return to work also complies with the strict ethics that regulate the health profession. They are ethically bound to conduct acts that minimize harm, respect patients, avoid exploitation and harm, as well as uphold professional standards.

😭Dear nurses, I hope you are sleeping well at night knowing people are dying every second from your neglect. This is what happens when you neglect your Nightingale Pledge. It doesn't mean anything to you anymore.
Today I was saddened to hear that a young man sat in a wheelchair at Chitungwiza Hospital for 8 hours without care and died before getting help. While nurses are on strike, patients are being left to suffer and die. Whatever the grievances, abandoning the sick is costing lives. This cannot be justified. Neglect on this scale cannot be defended, and those responsible must be held accountable and punished!

This is how governance should work.
Citizens raise concerns → Government listens → Action is taken.
The swift response by President Mnangagwa and his team on fuel price pressures shows a leadership that is attentive, responsive, and people-centered.
Zimbabwe moves forward when dialogue leads to action. 👏🇿🇼

THANK YOU ZIMBABWEANS FOR AIRING YOUR PAINS TO GOVERNMENT: We can now talk about it! Following our engagement here, your request to Government in respect of fuel price pressures were duly communicated to the President, Dr ED Mnangagwa. This was on Thursday afternoon. He wasted no time and directed Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube to look into the matter expeditiously for some relief. Under the aegis of the Chief Secretary, an interministerial team was set up to address the matter. This was yesterday. It has since made its recommendations which Government is now considering. You spoke; your President and his Government listened. That is how it should be. Thank you Zimbabwe!!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Minister Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion Professor Mthuli Ncube says the government is reviewing taxes and levies to ease the impact of rising global fuel prices. He noted that the Middle East geopolitical tensions have driven oil costs up, and assured that measures are in place to maintain adequate fuel supply across the country. #FuelPrices #MthuliNcube #ZimbabweEconomy #EnergySecurity #EconomicDevelopment

The government has been commited to improving the quality of life for the civil servants.
Pursuant to the realisation of this mandate, the government has confirmed that they are set to review the salaries of civil servants in April.
This will enable the civil servants to continue earning a decent living, handsome wages, honoring their efforts towards serving this great nation.
This is what we call real empowerment, many thanks to you Shefu ED nekuFadza Ma Civil Servants.

Give me one benefit of a rich woman getting married?
Do women not realize marriage is truly a poor woman’s sport? The richest woman in the world (Alice Walton) isn’t married, she’s divorced now lol....
The richest African woman in the world (Folorunsho Alakija ) is divorced from her ex husband. The richest black woman in the world (Oprah Winfrey) NEVER married or had children. When will women realize that marriage and children is a poor woman’s dream, not a rich woman’s goal.
