Chimanimani a couple of months ago — climbing Mount Binga (the highest point in 🇲🇿 and second highest in 🇿🇼) is becoming an annual pilgrimage. An extremely beautiful corner of #Zimbabwe #visitzimbabwe

It was great to meet you! 🇨🇦🍁

[Tinashe Dean @advocatetinashe]

It was a pleasure & an honour to attend the Canada Day celebrations. My sincere gratitude to H.E. Ambassador @AristildeCanada for the kind invitation & continued support of youth advocacy.

The event was vibrant, engaging, and a true reflection of the strong and growing relationship between Canada and Zimbabwe. It also reaffirmed Zimbabwe’s foreign policy of being a friend to all and an enemy to none, fostering cooperation, mutual respect, and shared prosperity between nations.

Outgoing British Ambassador to Zimbabwe Pete Vowles paid a farewell courtesy call on His Excellency President Emmerson Mnangagwa at State House in Harare. Having first arrived in Zimbabwe as a young teacher in rural Mudzi in the early 1990s, the outgoing envoy concludes his three-year tenure, marking the end of his diplomatic service in the country.

Sad to say that my time in 🇿🇼 is coming to an end. 😢

So many amazing memories over 8 years , spanning 4 decades, as a teacher, an NGO worker, a tourist and recently as British Ambassador.

Allow me to use each of my last days here to reflect and say thank you….

#ThankYouZW

Zvakaoma for Zimbabwe last night but we go again on Saturday for the playoff 🇿🇼 #unitycup #zimbabwe #nigeria

[Chris Toward @christowardFCDO]

Putting my natural loyalties aside for one night to support the 🇿🇼 Warriors in the Unity Cup tonight against Nigeria 🇳🇬 - being played at The Valley in London.

Thank you very much @online_zifa for the shirts 🙏🏼

[UKinZimbabwe 🇬🇧 🇿🇼 @UKinZimbabwe]

📢 @UKinNigeria!

Nigeria called themselves giants of African football… then struggled to beat Zimbabwe 😏

Last meeting 🥅⚽️: 1-1

AND if we’re being honest, the Warriors looked more dangerous 👀

Tonight, Valley Charlton, we run it back!

#Warriors #TheUnityCup ZIM🇿🇼 vs NIG🇳🇬

[Zimbabwe Football Association @online_zifa]

LONDON CALLING 🇬🇧🔥

The Warriors are ready to light up The Valley as Zimbabwe takes on Nigeria in the Unity Cup!

Green and gold pride. Big stage. One nation behind the boys.
