Zimbabwe had the most expensive data in this 2025 African comparison, with 1GB costing US$5.10. That’s significantly higher than Botswana(US$1.74) South Africa(US$1.29) and Zambia(US$0.57)
That is a serious barrier to digital inclusion, education, entrepreneurship and innovation

$300K is enough to build such a school in Zimbabwe. If you are in power for 10 years, each year you can set aside $18 million for a school in each of the 60 rural districts. In 10 yrs you would have built 600 schools. Enough to cover our deficit and more!

🚨AFRICA WATCH🚨
@Blevava writes that liberation history earns a place in the books, not a lifetime mandate. As South Africa votes this week, the ANC bargains after losing its majority. Zimbabwe's ZANU-PF rewrote the rules to keep Mnangagwa in power.

It is our mandate to ensure Food Security Everywhere Everyday. As Zimbabweans, we believe we must go beyond food security alone we must achieve food sovereignty. We must be able to produce our own food in sufficient quantities so that no one goes hungry. While some regions may face inadequate supplies, our belief is that every household must be empowered to produce enough for itself. #FoodSecurityEverywhereEveryday

Tanzania and Angola have agreed to link the Indian and Atlantic Oceans by rail, connecting the Tanzania-Zambia Railway (TAZARA) to Angola’s Benguela Railway through Zambia and the DRC.
— The project will connect Tanzania’s Dar es Salaam port with Angola’s Lobito port, creating a trans-African transport corridor.
— China signed a USD 1.4B agreement in 2025 to modernise TAZARA, while the US and EU are backing the Lobito Corridor.
— Angola has also invited Tanzania to invest in its Lobito oil refinery project, with Tanzania’s state energy firm assessing the proposal.

“We underestimated Zimbabwe…”
At a Zim-India business summit in Harare, Varun Zim CEO Vijay Kumar Bahl says his company’s growth in Zimbabwe has been faster than expected.
Varun entered Zim in 2018, has expanded its Pepsi bottling lines, diversified into snacks, and now plans to buy 48.79% of Dairibord.

The company entered Zim in 2018, producing 12m bottles per month. It’s now adding new lines that expand monthly capacity to 100m bottles of water and soft drinks.
Varun is also building a new factory to make PepsiCo snacks. It estimates the snacks market in Zim to be worth US$177m
