Africa needs more of local investment than FDI. Local investors should b given the same incentives as these foreign corporations! We are hurting ourselves & they label us the dark continent?

Two decades after Zimbabwe’s land reform was written off by international critics, a diaspora banker turned farmer is proving them wrong. Phibeon Mutibura’s wheat at Barwick Farm, Mazowe, is projected at nine tonnes per hectare, grown with AI drone spraying that cuts water use by 90%.

Zim’s suburb piped gas project

Construction has officially started on a suburban piped gas network. Driven by Southview Energy Company – a joint venture between consulting contractor Amara Energy Company and Fidelity Life Assurance – the initiative is rolling out at the Southview Park residential estate in Harare South.

To help families manage their monthly energy spend, the network uses mobile-linked smart meters that eliminate large upfront fuel tank costs, allowing consumers to purchase prepaid gas increments for as low as US$1.00.

@ZoykPay has partnered with @Visa through Visa Direct to launch an interoperable digital payment solution aimed at transforming money movement across Zambia and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region.

The Zoyk Visa Direct Account and Wallet Partnership integrates Visa Direct, mobile money platforms, bank accounts, merchant wallets, agent networks and Visa cards into one digital ecosystem designed to simplify person-to-person, merchant and cross-border payments.

The platform is expected to enable faster, secure and real-time transactions while expanding access to digital financial services for SMEs, traders, enterprises and underserved communities.

Chembo Sumbwe, Chief Commercial Officer at Zoyk, said the partnership represents a major milestone in expanding inclusive financial infrastructure by creating seamless interoperability between wallets, bank accounts, mobile money services and Visa Direct capabilities.

CEO and Founder of Zoyk, Clive Nabale, said the company’s vision is to build interoperable payment rails that support financial inclusion, regional trade and Zambia’s broader digital transformation agenda.

The partnership supports Zambia’s push toward a cashless economy through digital wallets, USSD access, mobile applications, agent-assisted services and merchant payment infrastructure aimed at improving financial access across both urban and rural communities.

Viveka Govender, Head of Visa Direct South East Africa, said the collaboration reflects Visa’s commitment to enabling secure, fast and reliable digital payment solutions that improve financial inclusion and support cross-border commerce across Africa.

Built in line with Bank of Zambia regulatory requirements and international payment security standards, the platform includes fraud management systems, KYC verification, transaction monitoring and consumer protection measures to ensure safe and compliant digital financial services.

The launch positions Zoyk as an emerging regional financial infrastructure provider focused on supporting Africa’s growing digital economy and long-term cashless ecosystem development.

The Godfather of Indigenous Banking and Entrepreneurship in Zimbabwe.

Nicholas Vingirai is brilliant in every possible way and helped many Black entrepreneurs in Zimbabwe and across Africa. He is a legend and his story needs to be heard by every Zimbabwean.

It is a classic case of just how extraordinary Zimbabwean talent was and how other nations often get the very best of us while, in our own country, some of the most talented entrepreneurs were stopped dead in their tracks.

I went to Nigeria after its banking crisis of 2007 and marvelled at how they retained and rejuvenated their local banks, the same banks that are now spread across the continent. Yet Zimbabwean bankers were far ahead of their time. Were it not for the glitch that reversed everything, who knows where our great indigenous banks would be today?

Nigeria learnt from its earlier mistakes of targeting entrepreneurs in the early 1990s and today it has a much better appreciation of what Black entrepreneurs can do. Mawere is gone, Strive remains in exile and Zimbabwe has still not fully defined, or given permission for, entrepreneurs to thrive again as they did in the 1990s before the abrupt stop in 2004.

*Affordable Pivot Irrigation Steals the Show at ZITF for Smallholder Farmers*
The Agriculture for Rural Development Director Mr. Leonard Munamati highlighted a new low-cost pivot irrigation system aimed at making irrigation accessible to small-scale farmers, including A1,Old resettlement, communal, and those practising Pfumvudza/Intwasa concept. He said the compact, affordable, and easy-to-use pivot requires minimal capital and can help farmers increase production and productivity, ultimately boosting income and enabling value addition from higher yields. The Ministry is showcasing the technology to encourage smallholder farmers to adopt it as a practical way to move beyond rain-fed agriculture.@HeraldZimbabwe

The best advice I have had in years (PLEASE READ TO UNDERSTAND).

Yesterday I Realized 30 Years of Hard Work Can End With Nothing when I attended a colleague's retirement party.

They threw him a big retirement party.
Music, speeches, food everywhere.
People clapped and called him “a man of integrity”, someone who gave his youth to a job.

But when the noise was over, he went home to a quiet, empty room… and an envelope.
Inside was his gratuity, just enough to clear debts and maybe fix the leaking roof.

Thirty years of service.
No house in his name.
No business.
No investments.
Just a pension that can’t survive inflation.

This is the story of millions of people.
We work hard. We stay loyal. We never miss a day at work.
But we never learn how money works.

We think salary is security.
We call bank savings an INVESTMENT.
We trust THE SYSTEM to take care of us.

Meanwhile…

Someone who started a small bakery 15 years ago now owns 3 houses.

Someone who bought land in 2005 now earns rent every month without lifting a finger.

Someone who invested USD2,000 in shares now makes more from dividends than many managers’ salaries.

The truth is bitter, Hard work alone doesn’t make you wealthy, financial literacy does.

If you keep living the same way, retirement will come with regret, not reward.

The world is full of opportunities:

Land, you can buy for the price of a new phone.

Businesses you can start with the cost of one beer

Investments that pay you while you sleep.

But if you don’t learn how to multiply your money, you will spend your life working for it, and retire with nothing to show for it.

Stop clapping for LONG SERVICE. Start building assets.

Stop waiting for a salary increase. Start increasing your income streams.

Stop blaming the economy. Learn the rules of money and play to win.

Because the day you retire, nobody will remember your YEARS OF SERVICE.
They’ll only ask, “What did you build?”

A unique Brahman bull was sold for US$ 40 000 at a cattle auction held in Mt Hampden this Friday, following a fierce bidding war among hundreds of cattle farmers from across the country.
The Brahman was eventually bought by Lingani Masuku, a prominent cattle breeder from Gwanda
