Work kicking off at Bulawayo’s Fairgrounds, a new shopping complex being developed by @terraceafrica for the Tigere Property Fund. It’s due to be completed in 2027.
Tigere is a ZSE-listed real estate investment trust (REIT) that currently holds Highland Park, Chinamano Corner, Greenfields and Zimre Park Drive-Thru.
Four more properties are being added to the Tigere portfolio this year, including Cardinals Corner and the Design Quarter at the Highland Park Precinct.
Tigere is targeting rapid growth in net asset value (NAV), the total value of a property portfolio after taking out liabilities.
Tigere wants to grow NAV from US$60 million last year to US$100 million this year, and US$200 million by end of 2028.

“In cement, you can’t just think for the next 2-3 years, you need to think for the next 20 years…”
🎥 PPC Africa CEO Matias Cardarelli speaks today on why the company wants to build a new plant in Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe is an increasingly important market for PPC, with rising cement demand helping offset slower growth in SA and Botswana.
In the year to March, PPC Zimbabwe’s sales volumes rose 18%. Volumes were up 25% in the first half. Growth was 12% in the second half, after a gearbox breakdown at the Bulawayo plant slowed sales in the region for two months.
Revenue rose 20.5% to US$206 million, and earnings hit a record US$56 million.
PPC received US$36 million in dividends from Zimbabwe, up from US$13 million in the previous year, “another record for PPC Zimbabwe.”

Zimbabwe Tobacco Sales: 2026 vs 2025 (Day 59 Comparison).
Zimbabwe's tobacco sector has produced and sold much more tobacco in 2026, but the sharp fall in prices has reduced total farmer earnings compared to 2025.
Key Takeaways.
💠Volume up strongly.
Farmers sold 41.4 million kg more tobacco than at the same stage in 2025.
💠Prices down sharply.
Average price fell from US$3.37/kg to US$2.52/kg.
Farmers received about 25% less per kilogram.
💠Revenue lower despite higher production.
Although sales volumes rose by 16.6%, lower prices caused total earnings to decline by about US$106.8 million.

RBZ Launches New ZiG Bills to Absorb Excess Liquidity and Support Currency Stability.
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) has introduced a new round of 30, 60 and 90-day ZiG Denominated Term Deposit Facility Bills (ZiGDTDF), offering interest rates of 8%, 9% and 11% per annum, respectively. The instruments are available to banks, corporates and individuals and form part of the central bank's efforts to manage liquidity, stabilize the exchange rate and strengthen confidence in the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) currency.
The move comes amid concerns over growing liquidity in the financial system and follows several months in which Zimbabwe recorded a negative trade balance, increasing demand for foreign currency to pay for imports. By encouraging investors to lock away ZiG funds for short periods, the RBZ aims to reduce excess money circulating in the economy and limit pressure on the exchange rate.
This is the latest in a series of liquidity-management measures employed by the central bank. Similar interventions included the launch of Mosi-oa-Tunya Gold Coins in 2022, Gold-Backed Digital Tokens in 2023, and various deposit instruments designed to absorb excess liquidity and support monetary stability.
For ordinary Zimbabweans, the success of the programme could mean a more stable exchange rate, lower inflationary pressures and greater confidence in the local currency. However, tighter liquidity conditions could also result in reduced access to credit and slower growth in borrowing by businesses and consumers.
Zimbabwe's gold export revenue recorded its fourth consecutive monthly decline according to the latest data. The four-month cumulative decline of USD 145.4 million from the December peak represents the most sustained contraction in Zimbabwe's primary foreign exchange earner.

59% of Zimbabwe Food is Made from Imported Raw Materials...CZI.
Heavy reliance on imported raw materials continues to shape production costs and competitiveness in Zimbabwe's manufacturing sector, with key industries sourcing more than half of their inputs from foreign markets.
According to the 2025 CZI Manufacturing Sector Survey, the most import-dependent subsectors are:
🔹 Textiles – 75% imported raw materials.
🔹 Paper & Paper Products – 72%.
🔹 Rubber & Plastic Products – 71%.
🔹 Food Products – 59%.
🔹 Fabricated Metal Products – 55%.
🔹 Chemicals & Chemical Products – 52%.
🔹 Machinery Repair & Installation – 51%.
The findings highlight Zimbabwe's continued dependence on imported inputs, exposing manufacturers to foreign currency shortages, exchange-rate volatility, and global supply chain disruptions while underscoring the need for stronger local value chains and raw material production.
