🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 NEW: Labour MP Noah Law has asked FIFA President Gianni Infantino to delay Jarell Quansah’s red card suspension until after the World Cup

If they had won, you would have used a photograph of the captain, Harry Souttar. There is absolutely no well-intentioned reason for choosing this guy’s picture other than to make the Black player in a predominantly white team the face of the defeat and subject him to cyberbullying.

Unsolicited advice:

Kubvisirwa lobola on its own doesn’t amount to a marriage in the eyes of the law. Kana wakabvisirwa lobola woregedza kuregister “marriage” yenyu, mutemo unokutii muri in an Unregistered Customary Law Union (UCLU). Section 17(3) of the Marriages Act sets out the implications of failing to register an UCLU. Critical to note is that the implications differentiate an UCLU from a civil partnership.

Kana mabvisirana lobola, you can register your marriage as a civil marriage or as a customary marriage. The nature of a marriage is critical in that a civil marriage is monogamous while a customary marriage is potentially polygamous. What this means is that a spouse married under a civil marriage can’t enter into another marriage during the subsistence of their marriage or else they’ll be liable to a charge of bigamy while a husband married under customary law can have more than two wives at the same time.

Let me also dispel the widely held misconception that once there’s a marriage certificate it means murume haakwanise kuita barika. The type of marriage parties enter into determines whether or not murume anogona kuita barika. You can enter into a registered customary marriage, wopihwa marriage certificate murume obva aroora umwe mukadzi and there’s nothing you can do about it legally because it’s allowed. In other words marriage certificate doesn’t necessarily mean kuti munhu haakwanise kuita barika. The nature of the marriage determines that.

Also note that a customary marriage can be “upgraded” to a civil marriage but a civil marriage can’t be “downgraded” to a customary marriage. So gents think hard before you marry.

Some might want to ask why there’s such a classification which seemingly favors civil marriages and condemns the most common type of “marriage” in Zim ie UCLUs. That’s a topic for another day.

In this struggle, always budget and plan to walk alone. Trust yourself only and make provisions for your own journey. Have a redundancy plan because everyone has a price. Principle is indivisible. Parallel paths same struggle.

1/11 To understand business in Zimbabwe, you need to understand Delta Corporation, the country’s largest listed company and one of the few companies with over $1 billion in revenue.

Delta’s recent results reveal so much about the Zimbabwean economy, business operations, taxation, and what 2026 is going to look like that we will need to split these posts into a series.

Here is Part 1: Billions in Revenue, Strong Performance, but Two Big Risks.

#PauseForThought

Every year, sometimes twice a year, I look forward to going home to Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe is home. It is where my umbilical cord was buried. It is where my roots are. It is where, God willing, I hope to spend my twilight years.

In a few years' time, when I finally decide to return for good, I will pack my belongings, my work tools, my Partial Discharge detectors, Hipot testers, Tan Delta test sets, transformer testing equipment and all the other instruments that have been part of my working life, load them into a container and head home to be among my people.

But every time I visit, there is one thought that I can never completely silence.

What would happen if something went terribly wrong? When I'm driving through places like Zai Rimwe, Mutekedza or Mupatsi on my way to rural Njanja, I sometimes catch myself thinking about the unthinkable.
What if there was an accident out here?

Would someone be able to call an ambulance?
Would an ambulance come?
If the situation was serious, would there be access to an air ambulance?
If people were trapped in a vehicle, would the fire brigade arrive in time?
Where would the injured be taken?
Would the nearest hospital have the equipment, medicines and resources needed to save a life?

These are not political questions.
These are human questions.
They affect the wealthy businessman in a luxury vehicle just as much as they affect the pensioner travelling on a rural bus.

A million dollars in the boot of a Rolls-Royce means nothing when a person is trapped under twisted metal and every minute counts.
In those moments, status disappears.
Politics disappears.

Connections disappear.
All that matters is whether help is coming.

Whether the ambulance arrives.
Whether the rescue team arrives.
Whether the hospital can do what it was built to do.

Living in the UK has taught me many things. Life here is far from perfect, but one thing that gives people peace of mind is knowing that if tragedy strikes, a system exists. Ambulances, fire services, air ambulances and hospitals may not be flawless, but they are there. People know that when they dial for help, help is on its way.
That sense of security is priceless.

Healthcare and emergency services are not luxuries.
They are not political projects.
They are among the most important investments any nation can make because every single one of us is mortal.

No title, no office, no amount of wealth, no security detail and no political influence can prevent an accident, a stroke, a heart attack or a medical emergency.
Life can change in a second.

That is why I believe we should all be talking more about hospitals, ambulances, rescue services and emergency preparedness.

Not because we expect disaster.
But because we all hope to survive it if it comes.

This is not criticism.
It is concern.
It is the concern of a son of the soil who loves his country and wants the same peace of mind for Zimbabweans that people in many other countries take for granted.

Some things are worth putting ahead of everything else.
Saving lives is one of them.

END.

Zimbabwe’s biggest funeral assurance group, Nyaradzo, has bought the Glen Forest cemetery, which will now be called the Sahwira Glen Forest Memorial Park.

The Nyaradzo Group was founded by Zimbabwean serial entrepreneur Philip Mataranyika.

The new Sahwira Glen Forest Memorial Park is being designed as far more than just a cemetery. The plans show a major transformation into a modern memorial estate with luxury-style gated entrances, landscaped gardens, a full crematorium, a large contemporary chapel complex and even a restaurant and bar overlooking water features and green spaces.

Nyaradzo said it will create a peaceful, dignified environment where families can gather, remember loved ones and spend time together, rather than simply visiting a traditional burial ground.

The architectural designs show that Nyaradzo wants to introduce a completely new standard for memorial parks in Zimbabwe, combining remembrance, hospitality, ceremony and modern infrastructure in one integrated space.

The development also includes the construction of new paved internal roads, landscaped driveways, modern parking areas, pedestrian walkways and controlled access infrastructure designed to improve accessibility and the overall visitor experience, alongside water features and carefully planned green spaces aimed at creating a peaceful and organised memorial environment.

It gives me great pleasure to see Zimbabweans building companies from scratch, which is exactly what Philip Mataranyika did, turning Nyaradzo into an international company operating across different countries.
More often than not, we do not celebrate each other enough, yet every Zimbabwean should be proud to see companies like Nyaradzo achieving things like this. Congratulations to the Nyaradzo Group, and I wish you even more success in the future.

Mataranyika has shown that black businessmen can create generational businesses capable of outliving their founders, something Zimbabwe desperately needs if it is to become a true economic success story. Building institutions that survive beyond individuals is how strong economies are created. Well done, Nyathi.

The Pope here speaks with clarity and authority about two serious issues we face in this world, leaders who spend billions on wars to kill people, and politicians who use religion to hoodwink ordinary and unsuspecting citizens, often manipulating faith for power while ignoring the very moral principles they claim to uphold.

1/Yesterday we traced the Finance Permanent Secretaries, the fiscal spine of the state.
Today the other half of the economic architecture.
The Reserve Bank Governors. The people responsible for Zimbabwe's money, its value, its integrity, its survival.
From 1980 to today. 🧵👇

[Tasunungurwa Mufumiri @freemufumiri]

1/ Over the past week I have been writing about power, institutions, intelligence & statecraft in Zimbabwe.
So here is a deeper cut prompted by the state's backlash to the ZCC CAB3 submissions to parliament:

The Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) as a theatre of power. 🧵👇

When you earn a “wage” in Shona, we call it “Kutambira”. To “Dance For”. Since we didn’t have formal employment, it’s a word we abstracted and used when mine workers had to dance for their 6 pence weekly in colonial times . KuTambira… when Men came home they were greeted with “Titambire” by happy wives and kids.

His name is Democracy. 🫵🤣

[Tasunungurwa Mufumiri @freemufumiri]

1/ We have done the CIO. The Police. The PSC. The OPC spine. Now we turn to the institution that determines whether Zimbabwe can pay its teachers, feed its hospitals and hold its currency. The Finance Permanent Secretaries. 1980 to today. A thread. 🧵👇

[Tasunungurwa Mufumiri @freemufumiri]

1/ Thread 1 traced Zimbabwe's Chief Secretaries-the apex of the administrative state.

Let us now go one level down.

The Deputy Chief Secretaries. The policy architects. The people who actually ran the machine while the Chief Secretary advised the President.
