The Forbes Border Post in Mutare handles 55% of all strategic cargo moving through the Port of Beira⦠And, currently, 1100 trucks pass through the border every day.
President @edmnangagwaβs govt is already UPGRADING the Forbes Border Post to a World Class border postβ¦ This is Zimbabweβs gateway to the Indian Ocean, just 300 km away from the City of Beira in Mozambique.
ED2030 is for more world class infrastructure π₯π₯π₯π₯

The just-ended RussiaβAfrica Summit in Moscow marks another important chapter in Africaβs economic and geopolitical diplomacy.
Under President Dr. E.D. Mnangagwaβs leadership, Zimbabwe continues to pursue strategic partnerships that advance Vision 2030.
Key opportunities include alternative international payment systems, agricultural mechanisation, fertiliser production, energy security, infrastructure development, technology transfer and increased trade.
While Russiaβs proposed payment alternatives could reduce dependence on Western financial infrastructure, Africa must also strengthen its own payment systems to promote financial sovereignty and intra-African trade.
The future of Africa lies in strategic economic partnerships, industrialisation and value additionβnot merely exporting raw materials.
Economic diplomacy must translate into investment, jobs and sustainable development.
If you bought land from a Land Baron, then you know exactly the person to target to recover your moneyβ¦. You also have the responsibility to report that criminal to the policeβ¦ the owner of the land is only interested in removing you from his land, thatβs allβ¦ Deal with the person you paid, simple. The problem is that you blame govt when you never paid money to the govtβ¦

Every part of Zimbabwe is a construction zoneβ¦ from private construction projects to public infrastructure projects, the whole country is on the moveβ¦. With very limited resources, President @edmnangagwa has CONSISTENTLY shown that he wants Zimbabwe to have beautiful roadsβ¦.
MORE than 20 kilometres of the Wedza-Mushandirapamwe Road have been completed and opened to traffic as road rehabilitation projects continue across Mashonaland East Province.

In Zimbabwe you can meet someone with a machete or axe and even ask ask for directions, Zimbabwe is safe
I so much appreciate the Varakashi Brigade for flooding social media with some good content about Zimbabweβ¦.
Someone once asked: Why do you guys ignore the bad stuff?
I replied: We have more than enough idiots posting the bad stuffβ¦ We are showing the other side that they wonβt show.
The βWhataboutistsβ sitting in UK etc will quote tweet and be mad that he dared said the quiet part out loud. If you see the comment on this from black South Africans , they have been primed by your cashtivists to believe Zimbabwe is Mogadishu. ITS NOT. It has Many problems that need citizens to solve it but itβs not the war zone they paint to keep their dole cheques coming.
We are not the same on these timeline. Many are at work. Ndezvebasa.
The people who were VIGOROUSLY opposing the issuance of Title Deeds are also the same people PRETENDING to be angry about DEMOLITIONS of properties with no title deeds.
Guys, you canβt buy a house or land & there is no transfer of ownership - itβs just COMMON SENSE.
Many of you have bought cars & the ownership was changedβ¦ Why do you feel comfortable buying land from someone who canβt prove to you that he owns the land???
And some of the land is bought by people in the diaspora, most of them claim to be smart people here on social mediaβ¦ all their smartness suddenly vanish when it comes to buying landβ¦
NO ONE CAN SELL YOU LAND THAT THEY DONβT OWN, thatβs the basic principle you should all adhere to! If they claim to own the land, then you should VERIFY ownershipβ¦ That process requires the services of lawyers who are competent in this areaβ¦. They will help you to verify ownership and also assist with transferring ownership of the land to youβ¦. If you didnβt go through such a process, then demolitions may visit you any dayβ¦
As much as it is painful to see peopleβs houses being demolished, the best way to understand the situation is to ask yourself this question:
βWhat will I do if l find out that someone has built a house on a piece of land that I own?β
Do you smile at the person and congratulate them for occupying your land? Or you go to court to get the person EVICTED from your property???
The second scenario is what every sensible person doesβ¦. And thatβs the reason you see the demolitionsβ¦.
As a starting point, ALWAYS know that every piece of land in Zimbabwe has an ownerβ¦ before it becomes yours, you pay the owner and you also make sure that ownership is transferred to you. If your name is not at the Deeds Registry, demolitions will visit you one dayβ¦
Instead of supporting the illegalities leading to demolitions, learn the right way of doing things!

Today, we are at Sandon Academy where the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Hon. Prof. Torerai Moyo, is officiating at the official opening of the A-Level Sandon Smart School in Gutu, Masvingo Province.
Sandon Academy is a true model of a modern Smart School and one of the best schools in a rural setup. It is a fully integrated smart learning environment featuring a smart register, interactive boards, e-learning and distance learning capabilities for learners in case of sickness, and the use of laptops as notebooks with video and picture recording. Learning is further enhanced through the use of speakers and amplifiers, an e-library, and a secure firewall that blocks non-academic sites to keep learners focused. The school also embraces innovation through the use of VR glasses and its programme will continue to be modified with time.
What sets Sandon apart is its pioneering use of technology for learner welfare. The school is equipped with an AI system that, through the use of audio and video, can detect sickness, anger, anxiety and other emotional states, allowing for early intervention. This is smart education that challenges old systems and puts the learner first.
The results speak for themselves. From humble beginnings with just 14 pupils, the school now has over 800 learners, with a 95%+ pass rate at O-Level and 98%+ at A-Level. With e-seminars linking learners in Beatrice, Melbourne and Gutu, Sandon is connecting rural Zimbabwe to the world. This is the future of education, and it is happening here in Gutu.
The Bulawayo - Victoria Falls Road is being RECONSTRUCTEDβ¦
Minister of Transport, @MhonaFelix, has assured Zimbabweans that the project will not stall again because they have secured funding to complete the project.
President @edmnangagwa DELIVERS, ED2030 is for more DEVELOPMENT!
He was obviously not wearing a seat belt⦠did that save him? Was he gonna be better off if he had worn it?
Well, in the majority of cases, wearing the seat belt mitigates the risk of injury during collisionsβ¦ itβs only in a few cases where the seat belt may do more harm than goodβ¦ and those cases are knownβ¦
This man here is lucky to be alive

Minister Mthuli Ncube was all smiles as his Deputy Minister laid out the facts during the Pre-Budget engagement in Bulawayo
One thing I particularly appreciate about these engagements is the frankness and openness of the discussions. Members of Parliament are given the opportunity to freely express their views, raise concerns and challenge ideas without fear or favour.
That is the essence of meaningful engagement and constructive debate in the national interest.
They should increase the fine to $100β¦ lots of reckless and disorderly driving in Zimbabwe, especially Harareβ¦ the system is working very well, the fines are still lowβ¦
Ndaona hangu that offense yaparwa neuyo. Mine is $30 as well. I was in the correct direction but Smart Traffic System iri kuti I switched a longitudinal lane. Ndokushaya kuti ndakanganisa papi since I was going in the same direction. Ko hakunawo maWarnings? Since this offense was committed in August zvichireva kuti there are other crimes that haven't been uploaded?
This is the kind of political debate we need in ZANU PF & in Zimbabwe⦠Minister Ziyambi raises a critical point here: State Owned entities must be PROFITABLE, there is no excuse!
Verify Engineering is producing products like any other company in the same business.. they have the advantage of being the PREFERRED SUPPLIER for govt institutionsβ¦ There is absolutely no reason why they should depend on taxpayer funding, they should be the ones paying dividends to the governmentβ¦
The people managing these entities should not betray the support given to them by President @edmnangagwa β¦ Itβs their duty to ensure these companies are profitable, otherwise they should resignβ¦

One of the most significant developments emerging from the RussiaβAfrica engagement is President Vladimir Putinβs proposal for an alternative international payment system that could reduce dependence on the Western-dominated SWIFT financial messaging network.
This is a major geopolitical and economic development, particularly for countries affected by Western sanctions and restrictions on international financial transactions.
For decades, many nations have remained vulnerable to a global financial architecture heavily influenced by Western powers, particularly the United States. The ability to restrict access to international payment networks has increasingly become an instrument of geopolitical influence.
Russiaβs proposed alternative could provide an additional channel for international trade, strengthen financial sovereignty and reduce exposure to unilateral financial restrictions.
However, while this is a welcome development, Africa must go a step further.
As Africans, we must accelerate the development and integration of our own continental payment systems, enabling African countries to trade directly with one another using local currencies without unnecessary dependence on external financial intermediaries.
Under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), strengthening African-led payment infrastructure, including the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS), should be a strategic priority.
Africa cannot achieve genuine economic independence while remaining excessively dependent on foreign-controlled financial infrastructure.
The future of Africa lies not merely in finding alternatives to Western systems, but in building and controlling our own.
Economic sovereignty must be supported by financial sovereignty.
We are in the digital age, access to RELIABLE & AFFORDABLE HIGH SPEED INTERNET is a PREREQUISITE for Economic Development.
Minister @TateMaveteraβs answer points to the reasons for high data costs, but most of them are just EXCUSES from the ISPsβ¦ Data prices MUST FALL & the ISPs must be held accountable for failing to provide the services that people pay for.
One may buy data from @econetzimbabwe and it may expire without using it because of poor network coverageβ¦ Thatβs pure theft, and Zimbabwean ISPs get away with thisβ¦
The Minister need to start appreciating the importance of lowering data costs and take REAL action to get the prices downβ¦ telling us the same excuses every year doesnβt cut it, action is what people want to seeβ¦.

This is to inform the public and all my followers that I have fully recovered my official account @MthuliNcube. This is now my only authentic and official account.
I sincerely thank everyone who raised concern and offered support during this period.
Kindly follow, repost and continue to engage with me on @MthuliNcube for all official communication and updates.
Thank you.
Zimbabwe is rising, and the numbers now confirm it. As of October 2026, according to the IMF, Zimbabwe is ranked the 14th largest economy in Africa with a GDP of $65.92 billion. In the same year, our economy grew by 5%, with a projected 3.5% growth in 2027 despite the El NiΓ±o challenge. This is not by chance, it is the result of deliberate and disciplined economic management.
This progress is a direct dividend of the fiscal discipline restored under the Second Republic. Under the visionary and steady leadership of President E.D. Mnangagwa, Zimbabwe has moved from deficits to surpluses, from volatility to stability, and from uncertainty to confidence. Budgetary order, a stable currency, controlled inflation and renewed investor confidence are now driving real, productive growth across all sectors.
What we are witnessing is Vision 2030 in motion. Zimbabwe is no longer on the sidelines; we are now counted among Africa's top economies and we are outperforming many traditional giants. This is the Second Republic delivering results for its people, and with unity and continued hard work, we will keep building the prosperous Zimbabwe we all want.

The P in GDP represents production of GOODS & SERVICESβ¦
@BitiTendai came out guns blazing arguing against the Official GDP figures.
Listen to a Varun Beverages boss explaining how his company has grown since 2018.
In fact, many experts are arguing that Zimbabweβs GDP is above $100 billionβ¦ Consumption has massively increased since 2018, pushing companies to expand their production facilitiesβ¦ Even govt revenue has hit ALL TIME HIGHS, projected to hit $10 billion for the first time in 2026.
In highly informal economies like Zimbabwe, govt revenue is likely to be 10% of GDP - proof that the GDP could be $100 billion!
