SIMATELELE YOUTHS EMPOWERED WITH SOLAR DRYING TECHNOLOGY
The youth of Simatelele in Binga District have taken a significant step towards economic empowerment and climate-smart livelihoods after receiving hands-on training in the use of a modern solar dryer.
The training, facilitated through the Green Digital ConnectZW Project, equipped young people with practical skills to preserve kapenta, bream fish, vegetables, and fruits using a clean, efficient, and environmentally friendly drying technology. The solar dryer will help reduce post-harvest losses, improve food quality, extend shelf life, and create opportunities for value addition and increased household incomes.
This initiative is a shining example of how innovation and technology can transform rural communities while promoting sustainable environmental practices and youth entrepreneurship.
Special appreciation goes to WILD, SAYWHAT, Save the Children, the Zimbabwe Youth Council, and the European Union for making this impactful training possible and for investing in the future of young people in Simatelele.
As the local Councillor aptly remarked;
“The youths of Simatelele will not remain the same after this workshop.”
With the knowledge and equipment acquired, Simatelele’s youth are now better positioned to build resilient livelihoods, strengthen food security, and contribute meaningfully to the local economy. Bravo to everyone involved in this life-changing initiative. 👏🌱☀️
BINGA RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL ADVANCES SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH FIRE MANAGEMENT AND WASTE MANAGEMENT POLICY FORMULATION
Binga Rural District Council (BRDC) has taken another significant step towards strengthening environmental governance and promoting sustainable development through the formulation of a comprehensive Fire Management Policy and Waste Management Policy.
In addition to these important policy frameworks, the Council has also developed a Fire Management Plan and a Waste Management Plan, which provide practical implementation strategies, clear operational guidelines, and coordinated actions to effectively address environmental challenges across the district. These plans ensure that the policies are translated into measurable actions that protect both the environment and local communities.
The initiative underscores the Council’s commitment to protecting the environment, safeguarding lives and property, and ensuring a cleaner, healthier, and more resilient Binga District. The policy formulation process brings together key stakeholders, including Government departments, the Environmental Management Agency (EMA), traditional leaders, community representatives, development partners, and other relevant institutions to develop practical and inclusive policies that respond to local environmental needs.
The Fire Management Policy, together with the Fire Management Plan, seeks to strengthen measures for preventing and controlling veld fires, which pose a serious threat to forests, wildlife, grazing lands, agricultural production, infrastructure, and human life. The framework promotes community awareness, the establishment and maintenance of fireguards, early detection and reporting systems, coordinated emergency response, regular monitoring, and stronger collaboration among stakeholders to minimise the devastating effects of uncontrolled fires.
Complementing this effort, the Waste Management Policy and Waste Management Plan provide a comprehensive framework for improving environmental sanitation through efficient waste collection, transportation, disposal, recycling, and public education. The plan outlines practical interventions that encourage responsible waste management by households, businesses, institutions, and communities while promoting environmental stewardship, reducing pollution, and supporting a cleaner district.
Through these policies and implementation plans, Binga Rural District Council is laying a strong foundation for effective environmental management that aligns with Zimbabwe’s environmental legislation and the national Vision 2030 agenda of achieving an upper middle-income economy through sustainable development.
The Council believes that protecting the environment is a shared responsibility and continues to encourage residents, community leaders, schools, businesses, and development partners to actively participate in fire prevention initiatives, proper waste management practices, and the successful implementation of the Fire Management Plan and Waste Management Plan.
As Binga Rural District Council continues to implement people-centred development programmes, the formulation of these policies and the adoption of the accompanying implementation plans mark another important milestone in building a safer, cleaner, and environmentally sustainable district for present and future generations. Through proactive planning and collaborative action, BRDC is demonstrating its commitment to responsible environmental management and sustainable local development.
AIR ZIMBABWE’S DIRECT UK FLIGHTS A MAJOR MILESTONE FOR ZIMBABWE
Zimbabwe has reached another significant milestone with the introduction of Air Zimbabwe’s direct flights to the United Kingdom, eliminating the need for passengers to transit through hubs such as Johannesburg’s OR Tambo, Addis Ababa, or Dubai.
The development is expected to make travel more convenient for Zimbabweans in the diaspora, businesspeople, tourists, students, and other travellers by reducing travel time and simplifying journeys between Zimbabwe and the UK.
Supporters of the Government have described the move as another indication of the country���s efforts to strengthen its aviation sector, improve international connectivity, and promote economic growth through enhanced trade, tourism, and investment opportunities.
Many have welcomed the achievement as part of the broader infrastructure and economic development agenda being pursued under the Second Republic, led by President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, expressing optimism that improved air links will further position Zimbabwe as an attractive destination for business and tourism.
Congratulations to Air Zimbabwe on this important step forward. May this achievement pave the way for even greater connectivity, expanded markets, and increased opportunities for the nation.

"Anoda Kutonga Nani?" – Hon. Ziyambi Ziyambi Backs CA3,
Questions Presidential Aspirants Without Parliamentary Backing
During a celebratory rally focused on the recently gazetted Constitution of Zimbabwe (Amendment No. 3) Bill, popularly known as CA3, the Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, Hon. Ziyambi Ziyambi, delivered a pointed message regarding the evolving landscape of Zimbabwean politics.
Addressing the gathered crowd, Hon. Ziyambi challenged the political logic of opposition figures or independent aspirants who seek the presidency without building a robust foundation of parliamentary candidates. He asked:
"Munhu anoda kuita President asina maMPs anenge achida kutonga nani?" (Whoever wants to be President without Members of Parliament, who do they think they will govern with?)
Understanding the CA3 Context
Hon. Ziyambi's remarks directly tie into the architectural changes proposed in the CA3 Bill. Moving away from a purely direct national popular vote for the presidency, Clause 3 of the CA3 framework introduces a system where a presidential aspirant must secure an absolute majority across both Houses of Parliament (the National Assembly and the Senate).
Under this model, the political weight of local Members of Parliament (MPs) is heavily amplified. A presidential candidate can no longer rely solely on high voter turnouts in densely populated urban centers; they must actively win over parliamentary seats across the entire country to secure the necessary legislative majority to lead.
Minister Ziyambi emphasized that effective governance is fundamentally collaborative. In the framework pushed forward during the CA3 celebrations:
Legislative Power: A President cannot pass national budgets, enact laws, or drive policy without the cooperation of Parliament.
National Inclusivity: By shifting focus toward securing an absolute majority among MPs, presidential hopefuls are structurally forced to pay attention to minority and rural constituencies rather than just large voter blocks.
The rally marks a continued effort by the government to unpack the constitutional amendment as it undergoes its mandatory 90-day public consultation period, signaling a major structural shift in how Zimbabwe defines political power and national leadership.
🇿🇼 ZIM GLOBAL SKILLS PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMME: Turning Brain Drain into Brain Gain.
Story by Jah Guide
The Second Republic, under the leadership of President Dr. Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, continues to implement innovative programmes aimed at creating opportunities for Zimbabweans while driving national development. One such initiative is the Zimbabwe Global Skills Partnership Programme (ZGSPP), whose guiding principle is “Work Abroad, Gain Skills and Return Empowered.”
The programme is built on the concept of circular migration, allowing Zimbabweans to legally access employment opportunities abroad, acquire internationally recognised skills, and eventually return home to contribute to the country’s economic growth and industrialisation.
This initiative comes at an important time as thousands of skilled Zimbabweans are returning from South Africa. Rather than viewing their return as a challenge, Government is transforming it into an opportunity by registering returnees into a national skills database. This enables Government to identify their expertise and connect them with local industries, investment opportunities, entrepreneurship programmes, and national development projects.
Through the Zimbabwe Global Skills Partnership Programme, returnees will be supported to:
* Secure employment based on their acquired skills.
* Access skills development and certification opportunities.
* Participate in entrepreneurship and business development programmes.
* Contribute to Zimbabwe’s industrialisation and economic transformation.
* Share international knowledge and best practices gained while working abroad.
The initiative demonstrates the Second Republic’s commitment to ensuring that migration benefits both the individual and the nation. Zimbabweans working abroad are encouraged to gain valuable experience while maintaining strong links with their homeland, ultimately returning with enhanced skills, knowledge, and capital that can accelerate national development.
As Zimbabwe marches towards Vision 2030, programmes such as the ZGSPP reinforce the Government’s people-centred development agenda by creating global opportunities for citizens while ensuring their skills are harnessed for the country’s prosperity.
Work Abroad. Gain Skills. Return Empowered. Build Zimbabwe Together. 🇿🇼

🇿🇼 ZIMBABWE IS READY TO HARNESS ITS OWN TALENT
Story by Jah Guide
The Second Republic under the visionary leadership of His Excellency President Dr. Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa continues to demonstrate that every Zimbabwean is a valuable asset in building our nation.
Government has now registered 15,000 skilled Zimbabweans who have recently returned home, mainly from South Africa, creating a comprehensive skills database that will connect artisans, technicians, welders, bricklayers, mechanics, agricultural specialists, and many other professionals with opportunities in local industries. This initiative also supports the implementation of the Global Skills Partnership Programme, which promotes safe, legal, and structured labour migration where appropriate.
This is what a caring Government does, it does not abandon its citizens. Instead, it identifies their skills, creates opportunities for employment and entrepreneurship, and ensures that Zimbabwe benefits from the knowledge and experience gained abroad.
As Zimbabwe accelerates the implementation of National Development Strategy 2 (NDS2) and marches towards Vision 2030, the return of skilled citizens will strengthen infrastructure development, industrialisation, agriculture, mining, and innovation. Every skilled hand counts in building an upper-middle-income economy.
To our brothers and sisters returning home, Zimbabwe welcomes you. Your skills are needed. Your future is here.
The future is being built today, and under the Second Republic, no skill goes to waste.

🇿🇼 JULY IS HERE – A DEFINING MONTH FOR ZIMBABWE 🇿🇼

The month that many Zimbabweans have been waiting for has finally arrived. July marks another historic chapter in our nation's constitutional journey as all eyes turn to His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, .

As ZANU PF, we have full confidence in the visionary leadership of President Mnangagwa and his unwavering commitment to constitutional governance, national unity and the continued development of Zimbabwe under the Second Republic.
The journey towards an upper-middle-income economy by 2030 requires stability, strong institutions and decisive leadership. Under President Mnangagwa's stewardship, Zimbabwe continues to chart its own path with determination and purpose.
As we await the President's constitutional decision, let us remain united, peaceful and focused on building a prosperous Zimbabwe for present and future generations.

Good evening, Mayor Coltart.
I hear what you’re saying about CAB3—but I won’t pretend that the constitutional process is something to be discarded simply because people are upset by the political outcome.
Here’s the clear point:
CAB3 was passed in accordance with the procedures the Senate has authority to use. The fact that the public debate is loud does not turn a parliamentary act into an automatic illegitimacy. A bill does not become “illicit” just because it was controversial, or because a faction claims it preferred a different route.
And about your insistence on a referendum being the only acceptable ending, there is no need for that referendum in order to validate the legislative steps already taken. The referendum talk comes late in the chain more like an attempt to re-litigate the same parliamentary decision rather than to correct any genuine defect in process.
So my advice to you is simple: let the existing constitutional mechanism run its course without adding extra pressure that the law may not require in the way being suggested. If we keep treating every contested motion as a reason to demand a referendum, then any contentious bill will become permanently stalled and that’s not “defending democracy”; that’s weaponizing delay.
The process exists for a reason: to prevent chaos. CAB3 has entered the next stage. Don’t confuse anger with constitutional necessity.
