The African farmer must not remain a prisoner of outdated tools. From sweat to strategy, from effort to intelligence this is the new standard. #Maminda#KurimaNehungwaru
Osaka reminds us the future isn’t imported it’s designed. What we saw in smart cities, AI and sustainability finds local form in Maminda, where research and data become productive farms, bankable citizens, and real industry. Maminda is Education 5.0 in action 🇿🇼. @ShavaHon
7. The clear lesson from Osaka is that higher and tertiary education must not only respond to today’s challenges, but anticipate tomorrow’s. Our universities and polytechnics must lead in designing a future Zimbabwean society through innovation, research, and applied solutions.

From data centres to AI strategy, Zimbabwe is laying the digital spine of sovereignty. Maminda turns this vision into action, converting farmer data into power, dignity and bankable futures. Africa must build. @TateMavetera#Maminda#InnovationAmbassadors
@MICTPCS_ZW Impeccable timing from @MICTPCS_ZW and @TateMavetera considering the current surge in local innovations that are leveraging AI. What a great time to be alive as an Innovator.
Fellow Innovators, the ball is now in our court it's our mandate to build AI meant for Zimbabwe.
Africa does not beg for light she generates it. 🇿🇼 A 100MW solar vision is a declaration of economic independence. Power fuels industry, industry secures dignity. Maminda marches in step, converting farmer data into African capital.

Zimbabwe Secures Seat on Africa Artificial Intelligence Council
Zimbabwe has consolidated its leadership in digital transformation following the appointment of Information, Communication Technology, Postal and Courier Services Minister Hon. Tatenda Mavetera to the newly established Africa Artificial Intelligence (AI) Council under the Smart Africa initiative.
The Africa AI Council was constituted by the Smart Africa Board chaired by Rwandan President H.E. Paul Kagame, and brings together African Heads of State and Government, senior African Union officials, the Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and key private-sector and development partners. The Council will guide Africa’s approach to artificial intelligence governance, innovation, and investment.
Hon. Mavetera’s appointment places Zimbabwe among a select group of seven ICT Ministers entrusted with shaping Africa’s AI future. The Council will provide strategic direction on AI infrastructure, data governance, talent development, investment mobilisation, market development, and ethical frameworks to ensure that artificial intelligence drives inclusive and sustainable development across the continent.
The development reflects Zimbabwe’s strong policy preparedness under the leadership of H.E. President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa. In November 2025, Cabinet approved the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy, providing a clear national framework for the responsible adoption and regulation of AI technologies in support of economic growth, industrialisation, and improved service delivery.
Zimbabwe has also emerged as a continental leader in digital agriculture and agritech innovation within Smart Africa. Under President Mnangagwa’s leadership, Zimbabwe spearheaded and launched the Smart Africa Continental Agritech Blueprint, which outlines how digital technologies, including artificial intelligence, can be harnessed to boost agricultural productivity, enhance food security, strengthen climate resilience, and uplift rural communities across Africa.
The Africa AI Council was established following an extensive selection process led by Smart Africa, the African Union Commission, and the International Telecommunication Union, drawing over 400 applications from across government, academia, industry, and civil society.
Zimbabwe’s representation on the Council strengthens the country’s voice in shaping Africa’s digital future and underscores its commitment to innovation-led growth, digital sovereignty, and regional cooperation, in line with Vision 2030.
A nation doesn’t drift into progress it organizes itself into greatness. Innovation is sovereignty. Platforms like MAMINDA show how research, policy & tech can turn Vision 2030 into practice. 🇿🇼 #Maminda#InnovationAmbassadors#Vision2030#DigitalZimbabwe
*SUCCESS is a deliberate choice!*🚜🇿🇼 *Captured today*:Stunning progress at Farmer Job Dalu’s End Base Farm in Zvimba District. This massive *200ha Joint Venture* proves why Mash. West is rightfully coined the breadbasket of Zimbabwe. #FoodSecurity#StrategicLeadership#V2030!
When a nation invests in digital justice, it rewrites its future. Zimbabwe’s path to inclusion finds meaning when innovation serves the soil. Maminda stands where policy meets the farmer, proving Africa must digitise on its own terms. 🇿🇼🌍🌱
