@BusinessTimesZW @BusisaMoyo Dairibord is a national asset. Not for the highest bidder, whose motive isn’t clear. Varun imports its sugar. They have done nothing all those years to establish a local supply chain.Kudos to NSSA!!

The largest investments in Bulawayo since 2000 both proposed & completed. @CityofBulawayo

1. Waste to Energy Plant (USD150m) [stage: proposed]

2. Glassblock Bopoma Dam Pipeline (USD100m) [stage: proposed]

3. Delta Belmont Brewery Upgrade (USD35m) [stage: proposed]

4. ZICES Fairgrounds Shopping Mall (USD24m) [stage: works underway]

5. National Foods Plants (wheat & milling plant] USD8,6m [stage: proposed]

Do you know any others?

Bulawayo must be friendly and welcoming to investment because no one will put these developments in their pockets & go off with them once they are in the ground…

Of course every city in Zimbabwe needs this.

I wish our reporters could track such issues and share in the public interest. User generated content may continue dilute the value of professional journalism & micro bloggers quality editorials.

One of the fascinating things about the US is how quickly people will turn on you and ditch you when the tide turns and your perceived influence is expiring.

Perhaps this isn't just the US but the nature of power and politics.

I would like to thank Swiss Express Transportation, which has written to me and offered to transport the donated beds if they are given to hospitals in Bulawayo.

Transportation was always going to be a headache. If these beds go to hospitals in Bulawayo, I am grateful that it is no longer one of our headaches.
We now just need a duty-free certificate from the government, which I believe will be issued without any problem.

So thank you, Swiss Express. I really appreciate your good gesture of offering to transport these beds for free.
Companies like this are the ones we should remember when we do business that requires transportation, we should support them because they support good causes.🙏🏿🙏🏿

I think you’re conflating several things. I’ll address just two.

First, younger women. The evolutionary explanation is straightforward: youth is associated with reproductive potential, which helps explain men’s cross-cultural preference for younger partners (Buss, 1989). This is quite different from seeking naivety or obedience.

Second, disadvantaged backgrounds. Here you’re interpreting the nobility of men through the vice of female hypergamy. Women tend to marry up. Marrying the gardener is hardly the prevailing female romantic fantasy. Men, meanwhile, are magnificent fools who fall in love without consulting a woman’s bank balance, pedigree or social standing.

When a man marries beneath his station, don’t automatically mistake his indifference to status for a calculated pursuit of vulnerability. Sometimes it’s simply the glorious male foolishness of loving without a balance sheet.

The remaining charges I’ll leave to others to prosecute. 😂

#LetFreedomSing Grow Your Roots Before Winters and Droughts by Brian Tamuka Kagoro

Years ago, someone asked me to mentor them. I gave them 15 books and said, “Let’s talk when you finish the last one.”
Five days later, they returned—not with questions, but with their own book. What they really wanted was access to my networks, big stages and international conferences.
Ah! They didn’t want mentorship; they wanted a Password into my contacts. And for Free. No problem , sharing is caring !
I agreed on one condition: list 30 lives you had transformed besides your own, and 10 of your worst failures.
The next week, they returned waving an invitation to speak on entrepreneurship—something they had never practised. Their research? The internet. Their anecdotes? Other people’s scars.This person is a phenomenal speaker , way better than I will ever be. Their talent is insane. Long story short , they disappeared into the world of conference razzmatazz and social media image peddling.
Eight years later, their reputation had grown, but their life was stagnant ethically , intellectually , and financially. They were in fierce competition with their own shadow. They had platforms without roots, applause without fruit and contacts without character. Everyone that they now considered their circle had substantive professional,academic,social,and economic achievements. The pain of trying to BELONG without BEING! Their profile was trending; their substance was diminishing and they had plateaued.
Then they entered a serious relationship with a real entrepreneur building real value. Suddenly, conference badges and famous phone numbers could not answer one question:
Who are you when the spotlight goes off? They graciously came to introduce their partner . I was genuinely happy for them. But I could smell wahala from far. I long learnt to observe ,listen , and learn without judging . Two years after the introduction, the relationship ran aground. He gave me several contradictory and incoherent explanations. Then the phone call came from the other party . It was a courtesy call to advise me of the separation. I didn't prod , I didn't comment, I just listened. In short , the devastating conclusion was 'your young brother is a great guy , but he needs to come to terms with reality ,grow up ,and actually do something of substance with his life'.

In most African countries anyone younger than you is your younger sibbling and anyone older and within the same age set is your older sibbling. If much older ,then they are uncle ,father,auntie or mother Or simply Mzee , Mukuru , Taima, Bigguz, Chief. This upper rank can be acquired by a younger person who is wealthy . This is part of the social download of capital by poor folks.

This taught me five[5] key leadership lessons:
1. A platform is a microphone, not a miracle. It amplifies what is already there—including emptiness. And the higher you go and the more you talk publicly ,you give evidence of your shallowness. Equally so,hanging around power , wealth , and success, amplifies evidence of your lack of meaningful achievement .
2. Access is not growth. Knowing important people cannot compensate for avoiding important work.
3. Failure is tuition. Leaders with no failures to name may have nothing meaningful to show.
4. Service is the evidence. Before counting followers, count the lives changed when no camera was present.
5. Authenticity is the final interview. Eventually, love, crisis and responsibility will demand the person behind the profile.
African wisdom warns: “A river that forgets its source will soon dry up.” And that:
"Tools or potential alone are insufficient without action, because even the highest quality cooking pot cannot produce food by itself."
So build roots before chasing branches. Do the work before demanding the stage. Let your reputation introduce you—but let your substance keep you in the room
You can tick every box and still miss the one that matters most: authenticity.

When you have made up your mind to maintain a track record of success invest and reflect on upgrading your abilities in knowing WHAT TO FOCUS ON, WHEN the timing of that focus should be & WHO will be best to aid in sharpening that FOCUS for optimal results!

[Shacky Timburwa @shackyworld]

The highest expression of genius is not merely the possession of extraordinary intelligence, but the ability to assemble extraordinary minds around a vision that ordinary intelligence considers impossible. Elon Musk understands a profound secret of civilisation: when exceptional intellects are organised around an audacious imagination, the boundaries of human possibility begin to surrender. The Tesla Roadster’s leap into the air is not merely an engineering achievement; it is a philosophical rebellion against the tyranny of what humanity has accepted as possible. For centuries, we have mistaken the limits of our knowledge for the limits of reality. Yet I believe history belongs to those who understand that the impossible is often nothing more than the possible awaiting the arrival of sufficiently organised intelligence.

The future is seldom invented by those who agree with the present. It is conceived by minds courageous enough to question it, and constructed by engineers brilliant enough to disprove it.
