🔸A 7-year presidential term? Kana kusanyara kwacho. Munoziva kuti kune vakafira one-man, one-vote here? Musatambe nepfungwa dzevanhu. We need new leaders.🇿🇼

There is no good-faith argument that extending presidential terms to seven years and shifting the presidency to indirect election are being proposed for noble reasons. The motive is obvious: consolidate power, manage succession, reduce uncertainty within the political elite. But

Real billionaires don’t “give back” with handouts. They build things. They invest in economic infrastructure - power, logistics, factories, technology. They create jobs. They generate export earnings. They save foreign currency. And yes, they make serious money in the process.

THE PATH TO MONO-CURRENCY. RBZ Governor Dr John Mushayavanhu has outlined a clear timeline for Zimbabwe’s currency evolution. While the multi-currency system remains for now, the Governor says the nation will be ready for a mono-currency system in 2028, provided we sustain the

That is not the point. Indeed the formula may have spit a price in that range, the question is your government doing enough to cushion consumers? Indeed, crude oil has surged from around $68/barrel to over $100 since the conflict. For a fully import-dependent, landlocked

The argument that tinkering with the tax component will hurt the government's fiscal position is specious. Simply keeping taxes and levies at the levels seen on 4 March would easily knock 33c/L off the pump price — a win-win for both government and consumers. Government loses

2025 is shaping up as one of Zimbabwe's strongest financial years in recent memory. Across the board, telecoms, banking, manufacturing, retail, companies are posting numbers that would have been hard to believe just a few years ago. Two or three consecutive years of this and the
