*300,000 SUBMISSIONS DOES NOT MEAN 300,000 PEOPLE*

There is an important misconception circulating around the CAB3 consultation process.

The figure of 300,000 submissions does not mean only 300,000 Zimbabweans participated. A submission is not the same thing as an individual person.

Many submissions were made on behalf of large constituencies and organisations. For example, the Zimbabwe Council of Churches submitted a position representing approximately 8.7 million congregants across its member churches. The Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops' Conference submission represented approximately 3.7 million faithful. Trade unions, community organisations, residents' associations, political parties and other civic bodies also made collective submissions on behalf of their memberships.

This is an important distinction because democratic participation is not measured only by counting individuals who physically cast a vote. It is also measured by the extent to which citizens are given structured opportunities to express their views through institutions and organisations that represent them.

Had Zimbabwe gone down the referendum route, participation would have been limited to those who turned out to vote on a particular day. By contrast, the CAB3 consultation process allowed churches, civic organisations, professional bodies, community groups and individual citizens to place their views directly on the parliamentary record. The result was a process that captured perspectives from constituencies representing millions of Zimbabweans across the country.

For context, Zimbabwe has approximately 6.6 million registered voters. Yet the organisations that participated in the CAB3 process represent membership well-over ten of million when aggregated - spanning every province, every sector, and every layer of Zimbabwean society.

The correct interpretation is therefore not that CAB3 received 300,000 voices. It is that CAB3 received 300,000 submissions representing millions of Zimbabweans from every sector of society. The significance of the consultation process lies precisely in that reach - and no honest reading of the numbers supports the claim that public participation was narrow or insufficient.

The Anatomy of a Flop: Why Lumumba’s Latest Antics Collapse Under Scrutiny

Acie Lumumba is back with a lengthy, dramatic article trying to defend Minister Tino Machakaire while taking baseless swipes at the First Family. But despite the theatrical prose and pseudo-investigative tone, it takes less than two minutes to see through the smoke and mirrors.

Here is the truth about Lumumba's latest fiction piece:

❌ Zero Proof, All Fiction: He throws around highly specific numbers—41 rehab centers, 11,400 bed-nights, a USD 2.4 million figure out of Machakaire’s pocket. Where are the receipts? No links, no official reports, no financial statements. He treats invented numbers like facts.

❌ If it's True, Where is the Police Report? Lumumba implies a cabinet minister is a drug kingpin and claims political protection. These are serious crimes!

A real whistleblower goes to the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) or ZACC with evidence. A social media influencer goes to Facebook for likes. Why hasn't he filed a formal complaint? Because baseless rumors don't hold up in a police station.

❌ Desperate for Relevance: From "single-bulb backrooms" to recycling debunked KGB terms, this isn't journalism—it’s bad scriptwriting. As a failed politician with no electoral track record, Lumumba is simply using a leaked WhatsApp audio to drag himself back into the public eye.

The Bottom Line: Real activism requires evidence and legal accountability. Lumumba offers neither. Until he steps up to a police station with actual proof, this is nothing more than cheap political theater.

📌Zimbabwe’s energy investments deliver results as power imports decline by 44%

Zimbabwe’s energy sector is recording notable progress under the National Development Strategy 2, with increased domestic electricity generation reducing reliance on imported power. Significant Government investments in thermal, hydro and solar energy projects are strengthening national energy security while supporting industrial growth and economic development.

✅ Import bill falls significantly

According to Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe figures, the country’s electricity import bill declined by 44 percent, from US$208.7 million in 2024 to US$117 million in 2025. This reduction translates into foreign currency savings of nearly US$92 million and reflects growing domestic power generation capacity.

✅ Hwange expansion paying dividends

The Hwange Thermal Power Station Units 7 and 8 Expansion Project has emerged as a cornerstone of Zimbabwe’s energy recovery programme. The additional 600MW injected into the national grid has strengthened supply reliability and reduced dependence on imported electricity.

✅ Renewable energy gathering momentum

The Glovers Solar Power Plant and the Harava Solar Park demonstrate Government’s commitment to renewable energy development. These projects contribute to energy diversification, environmental sustainability and long-term power security.

✅ Kariba expansion strengthens supply

The Kariba South Power Station expansion project has significantly increased hydroelectric generation capacity, providing a stable foundation for economic growth and industrial productivity.

✅ Clean energy for sustainable development

Zimbabwe’s continued investment in solar and hydroelectric power supports the transition towards cleaner energy sources. These projects not only improve energy access but also enhance grid stability and contribute to regional energy resilience within the Southern African region.

Zimbabwe Moves to Protect Sugar Tax Revenue for Healthcare.

The Government is pushing to ring-fence revenue from sugar taxes and other health levies, ensuring the funds are used exclusively for healthcare rather than being diverted to other national priorities.

Health Minister Douglas Mombeshora said dedicated funding would help address gaps in service delivery, support cancer treatment, maternal and neonatal health programmes, and strengthen the fight against non-communicable diseases. Government is engaging Treasury, Parliament and the Presidency to establish sustainable health financing mechanisms.

Zimbabwe has already used part of the sugar tax proceeds to procure cancer treatment equipment, with authorities arguing that fully ring-fenced health taxes would provide more predictable funding for critical healthcare services.

POWER IMPORTS DOWN 44%! Zimbabwe’s Energy Investments are Paying Off! ⚡🇿🇼

The numbers are in, and Zimbabwe is winning the war against power shortages!

Thanks to massive strategic investments under the Second Republic, our reliance on imported electricity has plummeted, saving the nation a massive US$92 million in foreign currency.

How did we do it?
We built our own capacity:

🔥 Hwange Units 7 & 8:

The US\bm{1.5 billion expansion project commissioned by President Mnangagwa added 600MW to the grid, completely altering our energy landscape.

Kariba South Extension:

The US}508 million expansion has given us a rock-solid foundation for industrial and economic growth.

☀️ The Clean Energy Revolution:

We are aggressively scaling up solar! From the newly commissioned 10MW Glovers Solar Plant in Munyati (May 2026) to the 20MW first phase of the Harava Solar Park in Mashonaland East, clean energy is stabilizing our grid.
Less money spent importing power means more money retained locally to stabilize our economy, support mining, boost agriculture, and keep your lights on.

This is NDS2 in action.
This is a self-reliant Zimbabwe!

HUGE HEALTHCARE MILESTONE: The Sugar Tax is Saving Lives! 🇿🇼✨
Body:

Remember the Sugar Tax introduced in the budget? It is officially delivering results! Under the leadership of President Dr. Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, the Second Republic has used those exact funds to bring in the final batch of state-of-the-art, multi-energy radiotherapy machines.

This isn't just a medical upgrade—it’s a massive win for ordinary Zimbabweans.

Here is what this means for you and your loved ones:

👉 World-Class Care at Home: New low- and multi-energy cancer treatment machines are being installed at Parirenyatwa and Mpilo Hospitals right now. No more waiting list delays.

👉 Stopping "Medical Tourism": Thousands of families will no longer have to endure the crushing financial and emotional burden of traveling to India or South Africa for treatment.

👉 Saving Millions in Forex: Keeping treatment local keeps millions of US dollars right here in our economy to further strengthen our healthcare system.

👉 Decentralized Care: As new machines take over, older equipment is being redeployed to places like Gweru Provincial Hospital. Specialized care is coming closer to your doorstep!

Step by step, the National Development Strategy 2 (NDS2) is transforming our hospitals as we march toward Vision 2030. No one and no place left behind! ❤️
