Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions.
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
Lupane Projects Reflect Second Republic’s Commitment to Inclusive Development
Yesterday, as part of the Second Republic’s development agenda, particularly in the Southern Region, the Special Advisor to the President on the Implementation of Government Projects and Programmes, Dr Joram Gumbo, led a delegation from the Office of the President and Cabinet on a tour of key development projects in Lupane District, Matabeleland North Province.
The visit provided an opportunity to witness the tangible implementation of Chapter 2, Section 13(1) of Zimbabwe’s Constitution, which promotes balanced national development.
The delegation toured several strategic projects, including the Bubi Irrigation Scheme, Welshman Mabhena Government Complex, Lupane Provincial Hospital, the Technovation Centre currently under construction, and the Bulawayo–Victoria Falls Road.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Brick by Brick Media after the tour, Dr Gumbo reaffirmed Government’s commitment to ensuring that no one and no place is left behind.
“We gather here not merely to audit brick and mortar, but to bear witness to the irreversible march of the Second Republic towards Vision 2030,” he said.
“What we see in Lupane today is not a product of chance. It is a constitutional promise made manifest through the visionary leadership and political will of the Second Republic.”
Dr Gumbo said the constitutional mandate of balanced and equitable regional development is clearly reflected in projects such as the Welshman Mabhena Government Complex, whose first phase was completed in 2024.
He described the complex as more than an administrative centre, calling it a symbol of efficient, citizen-centred public service delivery and balanced regional growth.
“By successfully decentralising governance, fifteen ministries have already occupied these four state-of-the-art office blocks,” he said.
“We have effectively dismantled the legacy of bureaucratic centralisation, bringing authority and public services directly to the doorsteps of our people.”
Despite the significant progress made, Dr Gumbo noted that some work remains, including civil works, landscaping, and the completion of the main gatehouse and perimeter fencing.
The delegation also toured the Lupane Provincial Hospital, where 21 buildings are at various stages of construction, with many having surpassed the 60 percent completion mark.
To date, the project has received more than US$10 million, with additional resources expected to be mobilised to ensure its completion.
“The Lupane Provincial Hospital Project is a flagship healthcare investment that sits at the very core of our social contract,” said Dr Gumbo.
“As we mobilise additional resources, let it be known that upon completion, Lupane Provincial Hospital will stand as a towering beacon of our nation’s resilience and a testament to our sacred duty to safeguard the health of every Zimbabwean.”
Editorial Comment
The developments witnessed in Lupane reflect the Second Republic’s commitment to inclusive growth, balanced regional development, and the principle of leaving no one and no place behind.

The GoZ has stepped up efforts to repatriate Zimbabweans stranded in South Africa by deploying buses to transport returnees from major cities to Beitbridge Border Post, while assuring the nation that adequate resources have been mobilised to support their safe and orderly return.
@Airports_Zim 2. It is expected to enhance tourism, stimulate trade, attract investment, and reinforce Manicaland's economic role, while also supporting government efforts to boost domestic tourism and transport infrastructure.
1. The introduction of the Harare–Mutare air route by @Airports_Zim has generated optimism among Manicaland's business and tourism sectors. This direct flight improves access to the Eastern Highlands, facilitating travel for tourists and investors.
The introduction of the Harare-Mutare route by Air Zimbabwe during the Sanganai/Hlanganani World Tourism Expo last year has ignited optimism among economic players in Manicaland, who view the air link as the missing piece in unlocking the province’s vast economic potential.
The country's development trajectory reflects a growing commitment to innovation, value addition, job creation, and sustainable economic growth, positioning Zimbabwe for a more competitive and prosperous future.
Building Zimbabwe, BrickbyBrick.
Zimbabwe will never be the same again. The future of Zimbabwe has never looked more promising. Under the leadership of President @edmnangagwa and the Second Republic, the nation is being transformed through bold infrastructure projects and tangible development outcomes. Brick by brick, Zimbabwe is laying the foundation for Vision 2030, positioning itself to become one of the leading infrastructure and investment destinations in the SADC region.
As part of this transformation, the Minister of Finance, Hon. Prof. Mthuli Ncube, engaged in high-level discussions with the leadership of the China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) in Beijing on strengthening technical and financial cooperation for the development of the new city in Mt Hampden. Envisioned as a modern economic hub with data centres, smart city infrastructure, and AI-driven opportunities, the project is set to become a flagship of Zimbabwe's modernization agenda.
Drawing inspiration from successful developments such as Xiong'an New Area and Egypt's New Administrative Capital, the partnership aims to accelerate urban development, attract investment, and create new economic opportunities for Zimbabweans. The discussions align with Zimbabwe's National Development Strategy 2 (NDS2), which prioritizes infrastructure growth, industrialization, and economic transformation.
With growing investor confidence, strategic partnerships, and a stable macroeconomic environment, Zimbabwe is steadily moving towards its Vision 2030 goals. The journey continues, and the results are becoming visible across the country building a modern, prosperous Zimbabwe for future generations. Zimbabwe will never be the same as modern infrastructure, smart cities, and economic transformation continue to reshape the nation for generations to come.

@ZimGvt_NDS1 Maintaining single-digit inflation over an extended period is widely regarded as a key foundation for strengthening investor confidence, encouraging long-term planning by businesses & households, and narrowing the gap between official economic indicators and market expectations

@ZimGvt_NDS1 Instead of relying purely on subsistence maize, local farmers have transitioned into cash crops like commercial chilies, sugar beans, and beans—already securing international export contracts to markets in Germany and the United States.

The Art Of War🐊🐊🐊
They Preached Peace. Matinyarare Broke It. The Nation Will Judge Who Truly Wants Unity🥹
I was called upon to stand down in the name of national unity and I honoured that call with a reservation that the ceasefire was from the Tungwarara the aggressor. However I kept my word✅
But while I obeyed, Matinyarare a man recently rewarded with a vehicle and cash by the very Tungwarara now preaching peace, has just released a private audio attacking the President. In doing so, he is not merely gossiping; he is deliberately perpetuating a vile lie that our President is unfit to govern, an indirect but calculated assault on H.E. @edmnangagwa himself. That is not nation-building. That is calculated destabilisation‼️
Tungwarara demanded a ceasefire👀 Yet his close associate, who enjoys his generosity, is actively undermining that very ceasefire by disseminating recordings designed to question H.E.'s capacity. This leaves us with a simple, unavoidable question: either Tungwarara does not control his own ranks, or the ceasefire was never genuine from the start. Which one is it🧐
For my part, I refuse to dignify anyone who weaponises private conversations to assault the Presidency‼️The issue here is not whose voice appears on that tape; the issue is the reckless decision to release it at a moment when we are all supposed to be uniting😒.That single act exposes Matinyarare not as a builder of this nation, but as an enemy of reconciliation, plain and simple⚠️
I will not be dragged into a gutter fight by anyone who exploits confidential exchanges to attack our President and First Family. I leave the final judgment where it belongs with the nation. Let the people of Zimbabwe decide who genuinely desires peace, and who is merely pretending to carry an olive branch while sharpening a knife behind their back⚠️
NB* President @edmnangagwa is the master of conflict resolution himself, he has no need for compromised voices to lecture anyone about peace on his behalf🙏🏿
⛔️NEVER ACCEPT THE ABNORMAL TO BE NORMAL‼️
The Treasury extended immigrant rebate concessions to qualifying returnees. This includes the suspension of customs duties on personal household goods, business equipment, one motor vehicle per qualifying individual (to help returnees transition their lives & businesses back home
