ZIMBABWE NEEDS POLITICAL CHANGE NOT A CURRENCY CHANGE…A currency is a bundle of trust and confidence. A currency is not a currency without confidence and value.
Money represents a collective trust in the stability and reliability of the government. Its value is derived from the amalgamation of this confidence.
Instead of introducing a structured currency, we need a conversation that produces a Citizens-backed structured political change and new government.
A bond note by another name will not fix our challenges. A currency is a bundle of confidence. And confidence is a product of good politics and good leadership.
Currency change has failed before. And it surely will fail again. All this, because of broken politics, disputed elections and contested national processes.
In recent years, all these currencies failed because of bad politics: ZW$, USD, Bond note, RTGS, ZWL$, Gold coins, ZiG. It is given that the new currency will fail again because of BAD POLITICS.
Currency reforms will not guarantee currency stability but good politics will lay the foundation for currency stability
Zimbabwe needs a political and democratic leadership change, not a currency change.
No amount of currency change will pivot the nation into prosperity and boom.
The citizens have zero confidence in the leader of the country. Once the citizens lose confidence in an administration they automatically lose confidence in all that it stands for or represents. Nothing short of a TOTAL CHANGE and seeking the face of Our God will rescue the nation’s fortunes.#FixPolitics #OnePeople

🟣Support it how? Is it a soccer team? Are we supposed to sing war cries, buy a Zig jersey and clap for it to gain confidence? Where in the world does that happen? If the fundamentals are right, people will have confidence in the currency.
Look at the currencies that succeed - they don’t need propagandists and apologists to coerce the population to “support” or embrace the money. People have trust and confidence that the fundamentals are solid. Everything else follows.
As soon as that trust is eroded, the confidence also falls away.
Command economics and fake currencies have never worked.
We need new leaders.🇿🇼

🟣According to the @TheAfricaReport, the new @ReserveBankZIM Governor, John Mushayavanhu, is a close business ally of Mr Mnangagwa.
The publication reports that “one of the prominent deals they executed together was the acquisition of the $29.3m energy company Zuva Petroleum, through Mushayavanhu’s Wobble Investments.”
The ultimate test of Governor Mushayavanhu’s new structured currency which he is set to announce today is whether people will be able to buy fuel from Zuva using it.
Hitherto, fuel stations including Zuva do not accept any local currency as payment. They reject bond notes, RTGS, Ecocash or any other form of “domestic currency.”
If they reject their own currency, how can they force the public to trust it?

Imagine i go to bed tonight knowing my bank account has 3 Kwacha in it , then tomorrow I wake up and find ZiG in my account. It can only be Charumbira’s friends. Nothing is serious to them, they live in a movie these comrades !!!
🟣Today was one of the worst PR stunts we have seen by the Govt in a very long time. I have no idea what they were aiming to achieve but they did the opposite. If we thought the structured currency was bad yesterday, today we are certain it’s a catastrophe.
Nothing is backed by anything. It’s just vibes.
What a mess.
We need new leaders.
After a long political battle in Johannesburg last week, we returned home to Lusaka proud of our fights at PAP. Today I came to my former primary school here in Sesheke to donate a few school materials and some funds so that kids here can have a better shot at life than I did !!
A LEADERSHIP DROUGHT IN ZIMBABWE..Drought in Zimbabwe has become a perennial challenge evidenced by persistent extreme weather conditions. Poverty, disease, cholera also characterize our national perils. These all constitute major threats to our national security. It’s like we’re stuck in a time loop since ‘07/‘08. This points to leadership failure.
Declaring a state of emergency after the fact is too little too late, lame and lacking. We’ve ignored warnings from experts including UN, WHO, WFP and our own meteorological teams who gave these warnings more than a year ago. Our lack of preparedness shows that the drought of leadership and strategy is OUR BIGGEST DROUGHT HAZARD.
We’ve got dams but they’re underdeveloped, silting up with no de-silting plans. We have too many undeveloped dam sites. We lack the right water harnessing and harvesting plans.
Other countries with less rainfall manage better. With the right leadership and proper governance, Zimbabwe would be evergreen.We have a great deal for Zimbabwe- the Green Agenda revolution.
Climate-smart solutions need proactive strategy, not reactive policy. Our water systems and land use needs effective management for preservation and sustainability.
Declaring disaster late is no solution. Lives have been lost and continue to be lost the policies are floppy, sloppy, slow and weak.
We’re ready to provide the leadership that acts, not react. We must resolve the drought of leadership. Zimbabwe deserves better. We must fix the broken politics, resolve the disputed elections conundrum, reverse the rigged elections scourge and restore majority rule. Zimbabwe needs a CITIZENS GOVERNMENT. #OnePeople
🟣Just to be clear:
1. When you said in December that Pfumvudza was a success, that was a lie?
2. When you told COP28 that Pfumvudza would overcome the adverse effects of El Niño and climate change, that was also a lie?
3. When you said that Pfumvudza had achieved food security for the nation and was a model for the world to follow, that was also a lie?

🟣Good morning Minister Frederick Shava & @MoFA_ZW,
Why has Zimbabwe not congratulated the new President of Senegal on his election victory yet? Is this an oversight or is there a foreign policy concern we are not aware of? Will Zimbabwe attend the inauguration?
We need new leaders.🇿🇼
