We qualified for the World Cup for the first time after 52 years.
We drew against Portugal. We won our first game against Uzbekistan and literally went toe to toe against England.
We made history, and for that, I am so proud of my boys.
CONGO TO THE WORLD AND BACK 🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩
Black African teams have a general psychology issue playing against Euro sides,
they have greatly improved in skill and performance,
but too many times in knockout games once up a goal, its like they can't believe they're actually winning, so they just then self-sabotage and lose out.
This is really the story of Africa in general.
Gotta reject self imposed Ls.
when europe wins in the world cup: their team is simply superior, the global south can’t compete
when europe loses: the european team woke up on the wrong side of the bed, “are penalties fair?” piece in the new york times, the air that day was heavy, the coach had a tummy ache
Zimbabweans we need to have a conversation:
We need to look East to Mozambique and de-invest from South Africa!!
Durban Port is 2000km from Harare which is SADC Distribution Hub while Beira Port where we have a harbour courtesy of Beira Corridor is 460km from Harare.
For international trade, distribution and logistics, Beira makes more sense than South Africa Durban Harbour. It is closer, has less toll gates and is nearer to Asia and Middle East compared to Durban Harbour.
There are 16 toll gates between Harare and Durban, and there are 6 toll gates between Harare and Beira. Any logistics company will this as a no brainer
Zimbabwe and Mozambique already have a standing bilateral trade agreements and also the Beira Corridor agreement in place. We just need to modernise the Beira Port handling systems, dredge the Beira Port to deepen the waters and improve the road infrastructure.
The Beira to Msasa Pipeline and Feruka Refinery are full functional. We just need to restore the railway network system and ferry our commodities via Beira .
South Africa comes with high import and export duty at Beitbridge Border Post, high toll gates fees, high weighbridge fees, corrupt traffic police, xenophobic gangsters like ADF and Mooi River gangs. It is wiser to de-invest and redirect our international trade via Mozambique.
