Heroes holiday & back to my roots in Honde Valley. Early morning looking across the Valley from Sahumani area towards Gwiriri area.

@Pk_hvs @Shambazuva Just did. Good luck!

The primary purpose of engaging in any discussion is to achieve & increase mutual understanding of issues through shared perspectives. Avoid trying to 'win' at all costs.

@ChadMhako Chad, you are right. The hustle is a fad and fads, by design, are so short-term in perspective. Therein lies our problem as an economy. You can not run a modern day economy with that kind of hustler approach. Short-termism has been the bane of our economic performance to date.

@baba_nyenyedzi True Tinashe, but the big retailers have far larger committed costs and mandatory compliance issues than tuckshops who tend to be nimbler by virtue of their informality.

[Obert Mandimika @OMandimika]

@TendaiDara @ChadMhako @RyanKatayi I have to agree. Like the say, the room for improvement is never full and the education system can certainly do better but apportioning all blame entirely to it is just creating an easy way out.

@MutonhodzaPhil @zimkwacha @PicknPay I relate to this! Mr Sauti knows all members of my immediate family and will tell us when we last came into his shop. I dare not shop elsewhere 😅😅

@ChadMhako In the short term, have renowned experienced & practising captains of industry sit on tertiary instituitions management boards for their direct input on curricula formulation & alignment which curricula is demonstrably reviewable every 3-5 years.

@pridekurai @MishMugadza Love idea of hubs:-
Mutare commercial
Nyanga tourism
Honde Valley fruit cannery
Chipinge tea processing
Rusape grain milling
Osborne aqua park
Dorowa mineral processing
Penhalonga timber

Then join everything together thru infrastructure to create an ecosystem that retains value.

[Obert Mandimika @OMandimika]

@pridekurai @MishMugadza Yes indeed. Another way is to identify the economic clusters & their drivers in the province, then actively push policies that promote them. Resources must not favour just a few areas but be spread out to drive devolution & developmental equity right across.

@KelvinMotsi1 @MinistryofTID @MhonaFelix @nickmangwana @StarfmZimbabwe @NewsDayZimbabwe @HeraldZimbabwe @zinaraZW @ZiFMNews @ZBCNewsonline Lorraine Drive in Bluff Hill has suffered heavily due to this. Heavy vehicles are avoiding using the designated Harare Drive and have caused huge damage on that light traffic road despite clear prohibition signs posted.

[Obert Mandimika @OMandimika]

@jtsanhanga @MishMugadza I agree. It builds on what has already been proposed before.

This is my beautiful Honde Valley 😍

[Obert Mandimika @OMandimika]

@SaNyatsanza @MishMugadza Yes I heard about that one. Speed is of essence to move from planning to implementation.

[Obert Mandimika @OMandimika]

@FrankChigwa @MishMugadza Maybe a gemology centre in Mutare

[Obert Mandimika @OMandimika]

@simbajames @DenfordNgadzio1 @JoanaMamombe Agreed on that road. Also refurbishing Acacia Avenue from the top at Lomagundi all the way down to ZAOGA to connect with Dr Nyamutswa Road going to Kirkman.

[Obert Mandimika @OMandimika]

@PTChimusoro @ZtaUpdates True my brother!! It is the land of my forefathers and I am extremely proud of it 😂💪.

[Obert Mandimika @OMandimika]

@EvansZhandire Ha ha haa! I remember the Harare-Honde Valley & Harare-Mhondoro distance comparison back in the day travelling in those old chicken buses!
