I had been trying to register a company online for weeks on the Companies and Intellectual Property Office of Zimbabwe (CIPZ) website which is the official government registry responsible for registering companies. Every time I submitted my name search, the portal told me I had insufficient funds even though my wallet on the site was funded. I ended up topping it up again anyway, more than once, thinking that was the problem but it never went through.
Finally, I gave up on the website and went to their offices at Century House East on Nelson Mandela Avenue to do it in person.
I went inside aiming to get to the information desk but before I could a man in a green uniform came out of the name search room and ushered me into the name search room. He asked me if I wanted to register a company and I said yes. I also explained that I could not complete my application online and needed help submitting it physically.
The man in green then told me he could get my application processed within a day. He said it would cost me USD 150, cash.
I told him that was not the fee. The gazetted fee for a name search is USD 5 and registration of a private limited company is USD 60. He said that without the USD 150 my application would not be processed at all. He would not take my form, he would not take my ID, and he would not direct me to anyone who would. When I asked him what the payment was for he said โndezvekubatsiranaโ. When I asked if I would get a receipt for the payment he laughed and said no.
I then asked him if I could just submit my application with the normal statutory fees without the extra โserviceโ even if it meant the outcome would take longer. He said it was not possible and that if I did not want to pay the USD 150 I would have to use the website. Again, I told him the website was not functional. He took me back to the foyer and pointed at a notice detailing the steps on how to register a company on the web portal. We went back and forth again, this time within earshot of the man at the information desk.
I turned to the information desk and asked the man sitting there whether this was correct โ whether USD 150 was really what I had to pay. The man at the desk confirmed it. He did not correct the figure, he did not tell me it was unofficial, and he did not tell me where to go instead. He confirmed the price as though it were normal.
So the two of them, one of them sitting at the public information desk, told me the same thing: pay USD 150 in cash or go home. I did not pay. I left. I went straight to ZACC and made a formal statement. ZACC informed me that their investigations could take some time and if I wanted to register my company in the meantime I should speak with the Chief Registrar and inform him of what had happened so that he could assist me properly.
I later got a meeting with the Deputy Chief Registrar. She told me four things:
- First, that the registry no longer takes any filings over the counter at all. Everything must be done on the portal. There is no physical option.
- Second, that the portal has technical problems. [She told me the insufficient funds error is actually caused by the Main Object field - if you type too much in the box where you describe your business, the submission fails, but the site tells you that you have no money instead. ]
-Third, that the man who demanded the 150 does not work for the registry at all. She told me he is a member of the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service, posted there as extra security. He has no authority to take applications, process anything, or handle payments.
- Fourth, The registry does not accept cash payments. Any payments are to be made by swipe or ecocash.
I wrote a full report to her office naming both men and asked that disciplinary action be pursued.

Today, I woke up to many messages in my inbox drawing my attention to this talented young Zimbabwean artist called Alta Vybez. He is riding the legendary Hill and Gully riddim, produced by multi-Grammy Award-winning producer Stephen โDi Geniusโ McGregor, the son of reggae legend Freddie โBig Shipโ McGregor.
This riddim did not simply appear yesterday. It draws its inspiration from โHill and Gully Ride,โ a traditional Jamaican mento song that has been part of the countryโs musical folklore for generations.
Di Genius brilliantly blended that old Jamaican folk sound with modern dancehall production, connecting Jamaicaโs rich musical heritage with a new generation of artists and listeners.
This is international-standard dancehall, and I really, really, really, really enjoyed listening to Alta Vybz! The young man is amazing. His delivery, confidence, timing and command of the riddim show that he can go toe-to-toe with Jamaican artists at this level.
This is what happens when Zimbabwean talent refuses to be confined by borders. Alta Vybez did not merely jump onto a popular riddim. He rode it properly and made it his own. As Jamaicans say, he rode it like a lizard on a leaf!
Big up to him! Zimbabwe has serious talent, and the world needs to hear it!๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ Take a listen @Romarley@grampsmorgan@stephenmarley@DiGenius1

Hon. @MushoriwaEdwin exposing serious parastatal corruption.Sadly most citizens are not paying attention so nothing will be done.Zimphos bought a machine for US17 million but never used it.The same machine with same specifications was bought by another company for just US$600,000
Someone on Facebook found this fascinating map of precolonial Zimbabwe. The Portuguese referred to the region as Mocaranga, a name associated with the Karanga people, and the powerful tribe at that time.
What makes it personal for me is seeing Manica and Sofala, part of the historical landscape of my Ndau people. Our history goes far beyond colonial borders.
In a country where 80 % of economy is informalised & 4 out 5 jobs are informal ,regime s decision to attack vendors & traders is cruel degrading &barbaric .Regime has failed to create jobs &transform teconomy &should not punish victims .Daniel Garwe is an absolute embarrassment
๐ฟ๐ผ THE WORLD MAY NOT ASSOCIATE ZIMBABWE WITH STRONG SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS TRAINING, BUT PERHAPS IT SHOULD.
Because when COVID-19 brought the world to its knees, a boy whose scientific foundations were laid in Harare, Zimbabwe was inside Pfizer helping develop the manufacturing process for its vaccine.
His name is Dr Tatenda Shopera.
Shopera worked in Upstream Process Development - helping optimise the conditions needed to manufacture the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine reliably, consistently and at enormous scale.
His contribution was recognised with a Breakthrough Science and Innovation prize within Pfizer's research and development organisation.
And it all started in Mbare, Zimbabwe ๐ฟ๐ผ
The young, Shopera showed exceptional ability in mathematics and science from an early age.
That intellectual foundation eventually carried him through Germany, Washington University, a PhD - and Pfizer.
Then history came calling.
A global pandemic arrived, and a Zimbabwean scientist, together with others, was working on one of its defining biotechnology challenges.
That is what fascinates me about Zimbabwe's scientific tradition.
The laboratories may eventually be in America.
But sometimes the scientist was made in Mbare. ๐ฟ๐ผ

Dear Women,
Allow your husbands to marry a second wife or more if they choose to. It is not a sin for a man to have many wives if he can afford them. You cannot think or choose what is right for men, you are not them.
How many lives must be lost before we understand why most of our forefathers were in polygamous marriages?
Which is better: having more wives that you love, respect and lead or sleeping around while hiding from a vicious wife?
Letโs do better. ๐ญ๐ญ
RIP ๐ชฆ brother ๐๐๐
๐ฟ๐ผ EINSTEIN SPENT DECADES WRESTLING WITH IT.
GENERATIONS OF PHYSICISTS AFTER HIM HAVE FAILED TO SETTLE IT.
THEN A ZIMBABWEAN PHYSICIST DECIDED TO HAVE A GO.
The problem?
Can the fundamental forces of nature be described within one unified mathematical framework?
It is one of physics' great intellectual quests.
From Maxwell's unification of electricity and magnetism, through Einstein's unsuccessful search for a unified field theory, to modern attempts involving quantum field theory, grand unification and string theory - some of the greatest minds in physics have wrestled with the problem.
Then Professor Golden Gadzirayi Nyambuya entered the conversation from Zimbabwe.
And he didn't merely teach the existing equations.
He started writing his own.
Nyambuya has published theoretical work proposing extensions to some of physics' fundamental mathematical structures.
In his publication, "Foundations of Physics", he explored curved-spacetime versions of the Dirac equation - taking an equation central to relativistic quantum mechanics and asking what happens when its geometry is modified.
Then came gravity.
He developed what he called the Azimuthally Symmetric Theory of Gravitation, investigating whether rotating astronomical bodies might generate a richer gravitational structure than normally assumed.
Then he went for the giant prize:
UNIFICATION.
Nyambuya proposed a theoretical framework attempting to bring gravitation, electromagnetism and the nuclear interactions under a common geometrical description.
To be clear: this is a proposed theory, not an experimentally established Theory of Everything, and it has not displaced the Standard Model or General Relativity.
But consider the intellectual audacity.
A physicist working from humble Zimbabwe was wrestling with a question whose lineage runs through Maxwell โ Einstein โ modern theoretical physics.
And that wasn't his only target.
He has published on:
๐ Massive-star formation - asking how enormous stars continue accumulating matter against intense radiation pressure.
๐ Spiral galaxies - proposing gravitational mechanisms for why galaxies develop their extraordinary spiral structures.
๐ซ Bipolar stellar outflows - investigating why young stars eject matter preferentially along two opposing directions.
โ๏ธ Relativistic quantum mechanics - proposing modifications and extensions of the Dirac framework.
๐ Cosmology - including work touching dark matter, dark energy and the Hubble tension.
This is the difference between learning known physics and attempting to create new physics.
Nyambuya studied Physics at the University of Zimbabwe, and in 2020, he earned NUST's PhD in Fundamental Theoretical Astrophysics - described by the university as the first doctorate of its kind awarded on Zimbabwean soil.
From Zimbabwe, he chose some of the hardest questions available.
Not:
โWhat do the equations say?โ
But:
โWhat if the equations are incomplete?โ
That is scientific audacity. ๐ฟ๐ผ
๐ฟ๐ผ FOR A SMALL COUNTRY, ZIMBABWE HAS AN ALMOST ABSURD TRADITION OF SCIENTIFIC AND MATHEMATICAL RIGOUR.
And perhaps an even more interesting tradition is:
the sheer audacity and unbridled confidence which many mistake for arrogance.
Dr Sikhulile Moyo is one of its products.
His journey didn't begin at Harvard.
It began around rural Kezi in Matabeleland South, Zimbabwe ๐ฟ๐ผ
From primary school around Kezi, Moyo went through Cyrene High School and Mzilikazi High School, before graduating from the University of Zimbabwe.
Then came the audacity.
From this small corner of Zimbabwe, Moyo chose to wrestle with one of humanity's most difficult scientific questions:
How do viruses evolve?
His doctoral work examined the evolutionary dynamics of HIV-1 subtype C in Botswana and he eventually earned a PhD in Medical Virology.
For years, Moyo learned to read the history of a virus written inside its genetic code.
Then came November 2021. The whole world was reeling from COVID.
His team in Botswana sequenced SARS-CoV-2 samples and saw something startling:
50+ mutations.
Around 30 in the spike protein alone.
The genetic signature looked radically different.
A sequencing machine can generate genetic data.
Scientific brilliance lies in looking at that data and realising the virus has just told you something profound.
Moyo recognised the warning.
His team investigated and rapidly shared the sequences.
Scientists in South Africa were independently seeing the same strange lineage.
Southern African science had caught a major new variant as it was emerging.
Days later, the WHO gave it a name:
OMICRON.
Think about that journey:
Kezi โ Cyrene โ Mzilikazi โ University of Zimbabwe โ Botswana โ PhD in virology โ the genomic frontline of a global pandemic.
Years studying HIV had prepared Moyo for the moment when an extraordinary SARS-CoV-2 genome appeared before him.
That is Zimbabwean scientific audacity.
The audacity to dare and reach for the top.
To come from a small country, ask enormous questions - and dare to believe you can help answer them.
๐ฟ๐ผ Small country. Mathematical rigour. Scientific audacity. The courage to dare.
Dr Sikhulile Moyo.
