🔊 Communities have the right to decide what happens to their land, environment, and livelihoods.
📍 Masvingo, Zimbabwe
📌 Today we are holding a #RightToSayNo training workshop under the @euinzim#ENABLE project aimed at strengthening community capacity to understand and assert their right to refuse harmful and irresponsible mining and extractive projects that threaten their land, environment, and livelihoods.
The ongoing training is equipping community members #TraditionalLeaders with knowledge on constitutional rights, environmental protections, and community participation in natural resource governance. Participants are also engaging in discussions on the social, environmental, and economic impacts of mining, and how communities can organize and advocate for responsible decision-making.
Through the #RightToSayNo campaign, communities are being empowered to make informed decisions, defend their natural resources, and demand accountability in the extractive sector.
🗣️ “When communities understand their rights, they are better equipped to protect their land, their environment, and the future of their children.”

The call for debt justice is a fight for an accountable, transparent state. "NO loan without public scrutiny". Parliament of Zim encouraged to align the Public Debt Management Act for debt management that does not overtake public services funding. #ZimDebtConference2025
Today at 09:30 CAT, our Director, @jmaketo , joins the session: “An Unequal and Unfair World: Will the G20 Summit Make a Difference in People’s Lives and their Demands for Justice?”
He will reflect on the urgent demands for fiscal/tax justice, fair trade, energy justice, and just transitions across the Global South.

Today’s day started with great energy as participants jumped into an engaging session that set the tone for the rest of the program. Using law to pursue social and economic justice, Chiwoneso Kanoyangwa shared a powerful case study demonstrating how litigation can shape constitutional, legal, and institutional frameworks in public debt management. As a SEJA alumna, she reflected on her journey and delivered an insightful presentation on the foundations of Public Debt from global to national, and from historical to current perspectives.
#SEJA2025

Had the unique opportunity to speak on the concept of ideology at the ongoing @ZIMCODD1 6th Social & Economic Justice Ambassadors Academy. Youth must be ideologically grounded in the pursuit of social & economic justice! #SEJAAcademy2025
Young people are fascinated by how ecological debt, climate justice, and national debt intersect and today’s session brought these connections to life. Participants engaged in Module 3: Youth Leadership in Ecological Debt – The Debt & Climate Justice Nexus, facilitated by Dr. Abel Sibanda from @ActionAidZim.
This insightful module highlighted the critical role young people must play in advancing accountability, sustainability, and climate-responsive development. Dr. Sibanda also encouraged participants to adopt a systems perspective, emphasising that meaningful solutions require understanding how social, economic, and environmental factors are interconnected.
Key takeaways highlighted ecological debt as a justice issue, how debt burdens weaken climate resilience, the importance of youth leadership in shaping fair climate policies, and the urgency of advocating for systems that prioritise people and the planet.
🙏🏽THANK YOU to all delegates of the 7th Zimbabwe Annual Debt Conference!
🟠Your insights fueled a dynamic platform for change.
🟠Together, we advance debt justice & inclusive economies.
@ZIMCODD1 Happy to be attending the 6th SEJA Academy. Today participants went through an indepth session on public debt,development finance & basic economics concepts. Such knowledge is key in creating a generation of knowledge based social justice activists!
CNRG GBV Awareness Campaign – Penhalonga
Today, we are hosting a Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Awareness Campaign in Penhalonga as part of efforts to build communities that are resilient against violence targeting women and girls, including sexual exploitation in mining areas.
Mining communities like Penhalonga face heightened risks of #GBV due to economic pressures, unequal power relations, and the influx of transient populations. Women and girls often bear the heaviest burden, with limited access to justice and support services.
This campaign will bring together community members, traditional leaders, CBOs, civil society, mining companies, and government departments to collectively strengthen prevention and response systems.
🎯 Key Objectives:
• Raise awareness on the forms, causes, and impacts of GBV in mining communities
• Empower communities to prevent, identify, and respond to GBV
• Strengthen referral pathways and survivor support services
• Promote collaboration between local authorities, mining companies, and civil society
Together, we can build safer, more informed, and more resilient communities. 💜

🌍 CNRG Hosts Multistakeholder Engagement on Just Energy Transition in Hwange ⚡️
Today, we convene a multistakeholder engagement under the TACCET Project in Hwange, bringing together government, civil society, industry, and community leaders to discuss the urgency of transitioning to clean and renewable energy, despite the region’s abundance of coal.
Zimbabwe is already facing the harsh realities of climate change, droughts, erratic rainfall, and rising temperatures. Hwange’s coal economy presents both a challenge and an opportunity: to move towards a just, inclusive, and sustainable energy future that safeguards livelihoods while protecting our planet.
Through dialogue and collaboration, participants will explore pathways for renewable energy investment, policy reform, and community-driven climate action.
🤝 Together, we can power a future that works for people and the planet.

At the Youth Digital Democracy Training in Masvingo 2025, @NyarotaDonald led an inspiring session on why mastering digital skills is essential for youth empowerment and participation in today’s world.
He emphasizes four critical areas every young person should focus on:
✨ Content Creation – crafting powerful posts, videos, and stories that shape conversations.
✨ Digital Security – protecting personal data, securing accounts, and staying safe online.
✨ Engaging Policymakers – using digital platforms to communicate effectively with leaders and influence policy.
✨ Fact-Checking – promoting responsible sharing and verifying information to fight misinformation.
This session underscores a vital truth: digital spaces aren’t just for connection, they are arenas for influence, advocacy, and transformative change.

This is what the Chinese are doing literally within a few km of my home in Redcliff. They are destroying a mountain and mining right next to Cactus Dam, part of the Kwekwe River. This is how destructive these Chinese have become.
