Minister Kambamura is holding Africa's FIRST battery-grade lithium sulphate (≥99.5% purity)! 🇿🇼
While lithium carbonate is the final cathode material, this sulphate is its critical precursor—bringing Zimbabwe closer to full EV battery supply chain integration.
A historic leap for African mining! 🔋 #Zimbabwe #Lithium #Mining
Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt has shipped Africa's first consignment of lithium sulphate from its Zimbabwe mine, two months after the country halted exports of lithium concentrates, alleging malpractice and leakages. https://t.co/ZITz5YQLas

📌Cabinet today:
The Government has approved a deal with a consortium led by JR Goddard to develop 271 hectares of commercial land near Victoria Falls.
The land, Lot 1 of Jafuta Estate, is in the Masuwe Special Economic Zone within the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. The consortium will build roads, a 13km water pipeline, a water treatment plant, sewerage and a power substation.
State investment arm Mosi Oa Tunya Development Company is contributing the 271.5ha as equity, valued at US$25.6 million, giving government a 39% stake in the project. The JRG consortium takes 61% in return for US$66.9 million in infrastructure investment. The partners will recoup profits over 25 years. The Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency ran the tender last year.
The JR Goddard consortium also includes project managers Sesani, engineers Stewart Scott Zimbabwe, and financial advisors Genesis Global Finance. It is the same consortium that is, separately, raising money to build the Glass Block Dam project for Bulawayo.

At the ZIDA Business Knowledge Process Outsourcing (BKPO) Special Economic Zone (SEZ) framework introduction in Zimbabwe.
The idea is to make Zimbabwe competitive in international markets through tax incentives, infrastructure (fibre, power, technology and buildings) and ease of regulation.
Zimbabwe has significant latent potential and a solid policy framework can increase formal employment while building an entirely new industry.
The Philippines began its outsourcing industry roughly 30 years ago and through sustained effort, it now contributes about 9% of GDP and employs roughly 2 million people.
@nntaleb Small minds debate details. Sharp minds extract principles. The need to correct everything is usually a signal that someone has nothing larger to build.

Congrats Zimbabwe: Now Africa's leading blueberry producer. Today is World Blueberry Day. Zimbabwe has an advantage because its blueberries grow earlier in the season, and harvest is shipped earlier to EU and UK. Now China wants high-quality Zim blueberries.
An amazing review left by a tourist who had visited Zimbabwe and experienced the Victoria Falls.
Our wildlife is definitely a wonder and the hospitality of our people is impressive.
To everyone seeing this, do visit Zimbabwe, experience our tourism!
