You contradict yourself; you have just pared down Govt role to creating “conducive environment”, yet you burden the same Govt with building infrastructure and services!!! That sounds to me more than that intangible role!! Anyway, in many jurisdictions, an investment project, especially on finite, primary resources, must come with a host of accompaniments, including power. You don’t expect Govts to give you access to depletable resources and then provide you with power to deplete them!!!!

[Jamwanda @Jamwanda2]

MIMOSA which has been mining for decades cannot invest in its own power??? Or import its power needs in line with the facility allowed miners?????😳😳😳😳

[Jamwanda @Jamwanda2]

@rtapfumaneyi Absolutely!!!

WHO REALLY KNOWS DR JOHN MANGUDYA? I thought I did, until two weeks ago when I decided to visit Chimanimani using the long-winded, bad but scenic Mutambara-Chikukwa-Chimanimani route. After Mhandarume, one crosses the river to get to that point where the road splits into two: to one’s left, a road to Mutambara High and Cashel Valley all the way to Chimanimani. The road has seen better days since ZNA repaired it after Cyclone Idai; it badly needs attention and I notice there is activity between Chimanimani and Chikukwa. To the right is the road which goes through Lydia Chimonyo School, Chakohwa and all the way to Biriwiri, Muusha up the ridge to Skyline. We will leave that one alone. Soon after the split, and along the way to Mutambara High is what used to be a virgin piece of land to one’s left, and which bordered what used to be a commercial project for the legendary cashel bean, which is now history. Today that virgin piece of land has been turned into a huge, hi-tech agricultural proposition, all under centre pivots. This year it delivered upwards of 500 tonnes of wheat and is readying itself for the Summer crop. An upmarket farm village is already in place. To the right are small allotments under different crops, including a fairly sizeable stretch under fruit trees. The right side of the road to Mutambara belongs to villagers; the newly developed left side belongs to Dr Mangudya, formerly RBZ, now with Mutapa Holdings. The contrast on the two lands on either side of the road belie the connection: Dr Mangudya is piloting a rural development project modelled along the HUB AND SPOKES. His hi-tech agronomical project is the hub; the villagers to the right, stretching all the way up the wet valley to Cashel constitute the spokes. The hub drives the spokes; the spokes sustain the hub. The relationship is reciprocal, mutually reinforcing in a win-win tango. Those who read Development Studies will understand what I am describing!! It is a new model in rural development, possibly rural industrialisation for development. Who knows Dr Mangudya???

@Chrismzenda Even after giving you the law, you still can’t be sensible???

Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act - https://t.co/scQcL9PwHi Those who have been debating the poet Abel Mauchi’s plight are better guided by the Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act. Happily, the law is very wide and accommodating to artists and their artistic products and artists. Pay particular attention to definition of PERFORMANCE in the act, given that the artist has not published his works in written, book form. The definition is soundly wide and helpful to artists who create and validate authorship through recorded performances. Secondly, look at Section 10(2) of the law; it helps the artist. The artist seems to have a prima facie case against whomsoever used his property without authority. I am sure there are lawyers out there who can represent him free of charge. Late Advocate Tomana did it for the artist who claimed ownership of the Jerusarema Drum beat which ZBC used for its main bulletins. I was Secretary for Information and Publicity then, with @ProfJNMoyo as Minister. We leaned on ZBC to assume liability and provide restitution. The matter was resolved amicably, out of court. I am sure the same could hold. Thank you folks for contributing!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[Jamwanda @Jamwanda2]

IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE AT ALL: Zimbabwe spent USD333,4M ON FERTILIZER IMPORTS IN THE FIRST SEVEN MONTHS OF 2026. THE BIGGEST BENEFICIARY WAS SOUTH AFRICA’S OMNIA COMPANY WHOSE PROFITS MORE THAN QUADRUPLED WHILE ITS SHARE PRICE SIMPLY ROSE TO STRATOSPHERIC LEVELS. MEANWHILE THE SAME ECONOMY CANNOT RAISE UNDER USD20M REQUIRED TO GET DOROWA TO GET BACK TO PRODUCTION!!! OR SOMETHING LIKE USD40M TO GET BOTH DOROWA AND SABLES TO PRODUCE AND MEET OUR FERTILIZER NEEDS!! WHY THIS SENSELESS IMPORT DEPENDENCY WHEN WE HAVE THE RAW MATERIALS, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT. THIS IS BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT COAL-TO-FERTILIZER TRANSFORMATION WHICH VERIFY ENGINEERING, A GOVT OUTFIT, HAS LONG PROTOTYPED, WITH AN ASKING PRICE OF UNDER USD20M!! FORTUNATELY THIS GLARING ANOMALY IS NOW BEING INTERROGATED!!! https://t.co/Ear3ULwgmt

@mathazd So who gave him low interest loans???? Lazy people mollify and soothe themselves through false explanations.

[Jamwanda @Jamwanda2]

@wekwazamuchiya2 Kungengezi???? This is how we delete ourselves from the equation of growth and development as Africans!!!!!

[Jamwanda @Jamwanda2]

@wamambo1758574 @KMarazanye You have answered yourself, it seems!!! Mutapa’s mission includes inventing management teams which fit the funding bill!!!!

[Jamwanda @Jamwanda2]

CAPITAL IS NEVER THE PROBLEM: The story of Caledonia says a lot about the behaviour of CAPITAL where a project is VIABLE and is fronted by a competent MANAGEMENT TEAM! I raise this in relation to our FERTILISER MANUFACTURING CONUNDRUM. Can we learn something from Caledonia around which banks stumble to assist??? There is no question about the viability of DOROWA; no question at all about READY DEMAND for its product!! The problem lies elsewhere, which is what we must address!!!!! !

@SvosveII Yes, I have posted the relevant law. He needs to press for his rights. If he does not have willing lawyers, he is free to revert.

@manu_amen There is something called DUE DILIGENCE, Sekuru vangu Chipazhamongo!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Jamwanda @Jamwanda2]

Hapana banga rinoisa mari into a project merely because money has been requested. They look at many things which you, as the borrower, has to fulfil or promise. We have approached banks with inexcusable managerial gaps, nil collateral!!! Apa we use seed capital to buy latest vehicles in the market. Real entrepreneurs live modestly! I have just acquired a property in Nyanga from a rich guy. You are struck with the modest living quarters he called home. He hobbles in an old Datsun 120Y yet he commands millions, countless properties. Imagine an African farmer buying a Lamborghini before a tractor!!! That is us. Who puts money in such madness. Capitalism arose on the back of what was called the Protestant Ethic, which was all about thriftiness!!!!
