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
RETWEET THIS FOR THE WORLD TO SEE
This is an official support letter from the Zimbabwean Ministry of Finance, dated 24 March 2025, addressed to the Managing Director of Ecobank Zimbabwe.
It is signed by George Guvamatanga, who is the Permanent Secretary for Finance and the heart of the corruption engine under Mnangagwa’s corrupt regime.
The letter confirms that the Ministry of Finance has recorded a legacy debt of
US$191,578,835 million owed by Valley Seeds (Private) Limited which is run by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s nephew, Temba Nkatazo.
Ecobank Zimbabwe has agreed to discount up to US$20 million of this amount under a 12 month term loan facility.
The Ministry guaranteed the repayment and undertook to reduce the legacy debt by US$5 million monthly through Valley Seeds’ account.
In the event of any payment delays, Ecobank is authorised to directly debit up to US$5 million from a Ministry of Finance account held at the bank.
These are public funds that are being used to pay a debt owed by a private company.
This letter places a public guarantee on a private company’s debt, committing government resources (i.e. public funds) to back a commercial loan facility for Valley Seeds.
This is highly controversial in public finance terms because it tied state funds to a private company without clear public accountability, which is an undeniable act of corruption and cronyism, especially considering the large figures involved and the government’s economic struggles.
This also raises serious concerns about transparency, as there is no explanation at all of how Valley Seeds was selected, what public benefit the deal serves, all know is that it is run by Mnangagwa’s nephew and that it was used to loot public funds during Command Agriculture days.
This is an act of cronyism and state capture, particularly because the company has political ties. The structure put in place by Guvamatanga bypasses parliamentary oversight and violates public finance principles by committing future government revenues to a private debt servicing at a rate of US$5 million per month.
In a country facing a catastrophic healthcare crisis, underpaid civil servants, and failing infrastructure, such a public finance financial burden is reckless, corrupt and unsustainable.
It also undermines the integrity of the banking system by encouraging politically motivated lending and shielding private entities from accountability, making this a glaring example of the misuse of public funds for private gain.
This letter is written by a man who used to be CEO of Barclays Bank, it is staggering!
He is doing this for the President’s cronies because they are accountable to nobody except the corruption mafia Godfather himself, Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Now why Valley Seeds? We know that Temba Nkatazo is the CEO of this company and that he is Mnangagwa’s nephew.
Valley Seeds, under Nkatazo’s leadership, was a huge player in the corrupt Command Agriculture program which was driven by Mnangagwa.
It has many allegations of mismanagement and corruption, billions were looted through it.
Former Finance Minister Tendai Biti highlighted that companies like Valley Seeds invoiced the government without providing proof of seed deliveries.
A 2023 parliamentary probe found no credible evidence to justify the debts claimed by such companies.
Biti questioned how the government ended up owing nearly US$200 million to Valley Seeds, suggesting that the debts might not be genuine and pointing to a pattern of financial impropriety in the programme.
Nkatazo was also listed among the beneficiaries of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe’s Farm Mechanisation Scheme, receiving a loan of US$323,329.
This was published in a report by the later Dr Alex Magaisa which exposed how the bank was looted by ZANUPF.
If Valley Seeds doesn’t pay this money, it is YOU the taxpayer who will pay it! More to come!
Fellow Zimbabweans, I would like to advise you that I am not taking part in any discussion on X Spaces with anyone.
Like I said when I introduced my handle, anything not communicated directly through this handle is not coming from me.
So CDEs, Ignore the Twitter space.
Zimbabweans, you don’t even have access to quality healthcare in Zimbabwe. We are merely doing you a favor here in South Africa, yet you expect South Africa to prioritize you. I wish that nurse could take legal action against you.
8 years later after leaving Government and a little earlier after being " rigged" out of the race for the elective post of Secretary General of UN Tourism under very fraudulent circumstances, am humbled my Statement of Management and Policy Intent for World Tourism has been republished here as an emulatable global standard for Candidates in the 2025 race !

🔸Hausati. I’m going to say something else and you’ll be back with some video uchibuda tsinga trying to respond.
If it was up to you, you’d block me but you can’t cause the bosses will ask why you are behind the narrative. We know that when we start holding your bosses to account, they send you running to make some ridiculous video where you parrot their gobbledygook.
It’s sad for young people to be used as maPropaganda Runner emadhara. Our generation should be standing up for the masses - not taking the side of tired, incompetent elites. Our future depends on it. So long story short, I’m not engaging you. I’ll engage your bosses - the ones who sent you.
We need new leaders.🇿🇼

#Wanted
This man went to a carwash in Hillcrest, Durban: he drove off with a vehicle claiming the owner asked him to collect it.
This modus operandi is common and car wash businesses are being targeted.
#CrimeWatch
📍Chimanimani. A young man was caught with another man's wife. He was beaten and later died from his injuries. In retaliation, the young man's family left his coffin at the home of the accused.
This evening as our President returned from Bulindo in Kira Municipality where he had gone to check on one of our lawyers, Musisi George, the police and military under the command of one Twesigye surrounded our vehicles and started firing live bullets, teargas canisters and other projectiles. In the process, our President #BobiWine who was clearly targeted was shot in the leg. He is currently being attended to by a team of medical doctors.
This is yet another attempt on the life of our President by the Museveni regime!
Yesterday, The President commissioned and opened 3 brand new hospitals on The Copperbelt Province. The hospitals are in Kitwe, Chililabombwe, he has thus far opened 4 hospitals in the province in the past 3 months !!!
