President Mnangagwa’s message resonates with Zimbabweans as protest action flops
President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa's appeal for Zimbabweans to maintain peace and disregard calls for demonstrations on 31 July appears to have resonated with many citizens, as the day passed with people largely continuing their normal activities. In his address during the ruling party's recent 395th Politburo meeting, the President urged Zimbabweans to respect the rule of law and reject calls for protests against the Government and the recently enacted Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No. 3) Act (CAA3). His message emphasised national unity, peace, and collective efforts toward achieving Vision 2030 and the people have heeded his call.
Across the country, Zimbabweans from different sectors of society went about their daily routines without any disruptions, reflecting a preference for stability and continued economic activity as per the President’s call. President Mnangagwa reiterated that national development can only be achieved in an environment of peace and unity. He called on citizens to avoid actions that could undermine national interests, including participating in unlawful demonstrations, while encouraging them to focus on productive activities that contribute to the country's growth.
Zimbabweans ignored the calls to protest which demonstrates that Zimbabweans are prioritising peace and development over political confrontation. The opposition's call for demonstrations failed to attract public support, with most citizens choosing to continue with their normal business which has been Government’s call since agitators of destruction started inciting people to demonstrate.
The Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No. 3) Act is now part of the country's supreme law following its enactment. The amendment was processed in accordance with constitutional and legal procedures, with opportunities for both supporting and opposing views to be expressed during the legislative process. From this perspective, the conclusion of the legislative process marks the beginning of implementation, and those who opposed the amendment are encouraged to engage within the country's democratic and constitutional framework and desist from unwarranted calls for protest action.

I have joined fellow Heads of State and Government in New York for the opening of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
This important global gathering provides an opportunity for nations to engage on pressing international challenges, strengthen cooperation and advance matters of shared concern.

I was pleased to be invited to the 14th Annual Official First Ladies Luncheon in New York, where Zimbabwe welcomed emerging opportunities for our women and young people across fashion, tourism and the wider creative industries.
Opening international platforms for our designers, students and artisans can expand markets, create jobs and showcase Zimbabwe’s rich culture, creativity and identity to the world.
Zimbabwe’s digital transformation is reaching further. 🇿🇼 Over 10,000 remote sites connected, 17,000km+ of fibre expanded and 1.5m citizens targeted for digital skills training. The goal: leave no one offline. #NDS2#DigitALL#UNGA81
Diplomacy must deliver beyond handshakes. 🇿🇼 International engagement should open markets, attract capital, unlock technology and create opportunities at home. That is the real test of Zimbabwe’s economic diplomacy. #UNGA81#NDS2#Vision2030
Zimbabwean football is stepping into the future! 🇿🇼⚽ VAR and upgrades at the National Sports Stadium can raise match standards and improve the experience for supporters. Sakunda Holdings’ investment is a welcome boost. #NDS2#Vision2030

It was a true honor and a great pleasure to address members of our vibrant Zimbabwean Diaspora community here in New York last night!
No matter the physical distance or where you live and work, you remain an integral part of the Zimbabwean family. Home is home.
Your patriotism and unwavering commitment to your heritage is highly commendable. For years, you have supported families, built businesses, and sent home over USD 2.4 billion in annual remittances. But our engagement is evolving—we are moving from remittances to strategic investment, and from the movement of people to the movement of knowledge, technology, and capital.
Yesterday, I shared an important message: Zimbabwe is no longer lamenting "brain drain"—we have successfully turned it into brain circulation. Whether you are a surgeon, an engineer, a professor, an ICT specialist, or a financier, you do not need to return permanently to make a lasting impact. Your skills, expertise, and global best practices are tremendous national assets.
Under our national development agenda, NDS2 (2026-2030), my Administration recognizes the Diaspora as a vital strategic partner in achieving Vision 2030. We are actively simplifying bureaucracy, modernizing passport services, establishing Diaspora service centres, and ensuring your investments are securely facilitated and protected across agriculture, mining, renewable energy, the digital economy, and infrastructure.
Let us continue working together to amplify Africa’s voice and demonstrate Zimbabwe's rightful place in global affairs—as shown by our historic election to a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council for 2027-2028.
The more we work together, the more we prosper!

Building a modern and organised Harare
Harare’s renewal is essential to Zimbabwe’s journey towards Vision 2030. Measures addressing illegal vending and related activities seek to restore order while directing businesses towards safe, properly regulated and sustainable trading spaces.
A clean and well-planned capital, supported by dependable services, modern infrastructure and organised economic activity, strengthens investor confidence, promotes tourism and improves residents’ quality of life. This transformation demonstrates the Government’s commitment to building cities that reflect the standards of a prosperous upper-middle-income society.
The unrest in the DRC is deeply concerning. Constitutional reform must be debated through lawful institutions, inclusive dialogue and democratic participation and not street violence. Citizens may disagree, but lives, property and livelihoods must remain protected.
@hcc_harare This balanced approach demonstrates that the government is not seeking to criminalise livelihoods, but to bring order,accountability and sustainable solutions to the challenges confronting our cities.

@hcc_harare Importantly, the Minister outlined a constructive and inclusive approach going forward,emphasising closer cooperation between Government,@hcc_harare and vendors to establish orderly,designated vending spaces while maintaining clean,safe and well managed urban environments
Minister Daniel Garwe, during today’s Cabinet briefing, provided a comprehensive and much-needed clarification on the issue of illegal vending, while also addressing and dismissing certain media reports that had inaccurately attributed statements to him regarding @hcc_harare
