I haven't stopped thinking about a brilliant little girl named Faith that I met outside the Malawian consulate in Joburg.
She was born in South Africa but her whole family is undocumented. Her dad - a gardener - said they were kicked out of their house and he lost his job
The construction of a 22-kilometre water pipeline from Masembura Dam to Bindura town is underway, in a development set to ease perennial water shortages that have plagued the mining town for decades.
The US$3 million project, which commenced in August, is being spearheaded by the Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA). Funding has been secured through a partnership between Freda Rebecca Gold Mine, which has committed US$1.8 million, and Bindura Municipality, contributing US$1.2 million.
The pipeline is expected to boost water supply reliability and support both domestic and industrial demand in Bindura.
Too my elders, you have failed the young cause you have taught us nothing besides darkness and hate. I pray that after you're gone, we'll be able to find each other and unlearn your ways and rebuild and unite. The is light at the end.
I visited one of our public health institutions this morning to see a relative and left deeply concerned by the conditions I witnessed. What I saw was deeply moving—a clear indication that many of our people are facing serious challenges. The growing public outcry over our healthcare system is not an exaggeration; it reflects the difficult experiences of many citizens.
As your appointee and one whom you have tasked to speak for the young people of our great nation, I feel a solemn responsibility to speak openly: sometimes, in our desire to present progress, we may unintentionally overlook important realities on the ground.
Your Excellency, you have earned the admiration of this nation for your compassion, humility and tireless dedication to the welfare of ordinary citizens. Under your leadership, many have found renewed hope. It is because of this trust in your care for the people that I respectfully plead with you: please find time from your busy schedule to visit these institutions yourself. There is no substitute for seeing, listening and understanding firsthand what our citizens are going through.
I also wish to commend those who have had the courage to raise their voices on matters of public interest. Their advocacy reflects a belief in the kind of leadership you represent—a leadership that listens, acts and puts people first. @edmnangagwa
