“We don’t want Africans here anymore. We’re tired of seeing African migrants moving all over the world, refusing to fix their own countries. We’re making it clear: we don’t want you here. You know you’re visitors, yet you’ve decided to integrate into our communities. Can we come to Ghana and do what you’re doing?”

Everyone should immediately leave the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi, and Kuwait. Sailors on all ships in the Persian Gulf must also prepare to evacuate their ships. This is especially urgent for ships near the Strait of Hormuz, which will be destroyed first. Time is running out.
Building an Export Culture in a Mono-Currency Environment
I am a realist. A mono-currency system is coming—sooner rather than later.
But as we move in that direction, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe must understand why I shifted my capital into gold production—and why export incentives matter.
Without them, we risk reversing the hard-won gains of our export sectors.
In the 90s, I farmed for local markets. But I quickly learned a hard truth: without access to foreign currency, growth is capped. The Export Retention Scheme (ERS) that the Reserve Bank had at the time changed that. It gave exporters control—and that control created incentives.
That is what pushed me into tobacco and paprika.
Later, when I lost my farms, I shifted again—this time into mining. Not by choice, but by necessity. I needed a reliable, self-controlled source of foreign currency.
After trial and error, I built a mine in Kadoma that funded my imports and growth.
That experience taught me one thing:
control over foreign currency is not a luxury—it is the foundation of scale.
I have reinvested everything into Zimbabwe. I have no other home.
But I need the freedom to:
•generate my own foreign currency
•retain it
•deploy it as I see fit
I am willing to sell what I don’t need—to the market and to the central bank. But that must be a choice, not a compulsion.
Because local producers cannot compete on unequal terms with multinationals who:
•freely repatriate capital
•move dividends without restriction
•access global funding at scale
If we are serious about building an export-led economy, we must reward those who earn foreign currency—not constrain them.
Incentives build exporters.
Restrictions destroy them. This reassurance is missing in the current messaging on mono currency. I request the Reserve Bank to kindly review its messaging so as to give confidence to exporters and the diaspora population that sends money home to support our economy.
WATCH: Hundreds of thousands of illegal Zimbabwean foreigners have turned Cosmo City into new Bulawayo through a church that has allegedly been allowed by SAPS to operate illegally.
The church is run by an illegal Zimbabwean Chiremba Hemnage who brags about being friends with the police.
When #corruption and #zvigananda control football, this is what happens. Yesterday, in this game, opponent players were trying to score for Scotland in their own nets! You see on this video spirited efforts by two players to score own goals. #FIFA come and see. 🤣🤣🤣
Moroccan fans threw bananas and made monkey sounds in the streets after they lost to Senegal.
We will never forget. We will remind them in Nairobi during AFCON 2027.
The drama of the Africa Cup of Nations final continued after the final whistle, with Moroccan journalists walking out of Senegal boss Pape Thiaw’s press conference. 🫣
I repeat: Morocco is the most pathetic AFCON host in history.🚮
World-class stadiums, village behavior. Embarrassing doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Ball boys targeted Nwabali and took his towel vs Nigeria a few days ago. He reacted, and the whole country lost its mind! So Entitled.
They did it again, with help from Captain Achraf Hakimi this time vs Senegal. He literally took Mendy’s towel and threw it to the ball boys to hide it.
It got so bad that Senegal’s reserve gk,Yehvann Diouf, had to stand next to the post to hold Mendy’s towel, but the Moroccan ball boys went to attack him and dragged the Nice GK on the ground trying to take the towel. Professional footballers dragged by ball boys and the Federation awards Morocco FAIRPLAY award??💀
This embarrassing behavior can not go unpunished. CAF must never take football back to this country. I don't even want to talk about the officiating that got them to the final.
Infrastructure alone does not qualify you to host AFCON.
Respect and fair play matter, and this has been disrespectful to African football. Barbaric, at the least.🚮
Just look at Hakimi, our CAF Best player. Shame on him,
I told you guys, the ball boys are instructed to take the goalkeeper’s towels. It is planned.
I knew these little boys cannot be that bold to be doing this in an international tournament.
Salute to Senegal’s reserve goal keeper Yehvan Diouf who was supporting his teammates and handing Edouard Mendy his towel and fighting off MOROCCO RACIST!! Do we have comrades like him in Politics? I don’t know more than 3. We live with snakes
The Moroccans must not look far to understand why the rest of Africa is happy that they lost.
They have been nasty throughout this tournament. I wonder who in their right mind gives such people a fair play award. CAF is an embarrassment.
This is the rubbish left behind by @PoliceZimbabwe officers manning a holiday roadblock along Plumtree Road, between Figtree and Marula.
The irony? A bin is less than 50 metres away.
If those enforcing the law won’t respect the environment, what message does that send?
