@namataik_ Regional and international entities like the AU and UN operate on the basis of the willingness of member states to function within the confines of the established set of principles. If member states disregard the set principles the entity has no sovereign power to compel states.

NDS2: Zimbabwe's Avocado Export Boom

Zimbabwe is currently experiencing a massive shift in its horticultural landscape, moving aggressively toward a target that has recently been revised upward to a **US$2 billion industry by 2030**. This growth is underpinned by the "green gold" rush—specifically avocados—and a pivot toward the massive Chinese market.

### The Avocado Boom: From Backyard to Global Markets
The avocado industry is a central pillar of this transformation, with exports expected to exceed **6,000 tonnes in 2026**—effectively doubling the 2025 output.
✍🏽The China Protocol: A landmark phytosanitary agreement signed with China has opened doors for Zimbabwean Hass, Pinkerton, and Fuerte varieties. The protocol requires strict adherence to quality—such as stalks not exceeding 3mm and rigorous pest management—but offers a gateway to one of the world's hungriest consumer bases.
✍🏽Backyard Prosperity: The "Presidential Horticulture Scheme" is designed to integrate nearly **1.8 million rural households**. By providing certified nursery plants and technical training, the government aims to turn individual backyard trees into commercial assets that feed into national export cold chains.
✍🏽Strategic Varieties: While **Hass** remains the export king, other premium varieties like **Esther, Fortuna, and Gwen** are being scaled up in the Eastern Highlands to extend the harvesting window.

### Manicaland: The Engine of Growth
Manicaland has become the epicenter for innovative **outgrower schemes**. These partnerships bridge the gap between large-scale commercial estates and smallholder farmers:
✍🏽Cicada Agriculture & Katiyo Estates: In the Honde Valley, programs are actively transitioning farmers from traditional crops like bananas (which can drive riverine deforestation) to sustainable, export-grade avocados.
✍🏽Drumcorp Clusters: These projects integrate micro-irrigated blocks with centralized "Packhouse Ecosystems." This allows a smallholder farmer with just a few trees to access the same automated grading and ripening technology used by global giants.
✍🏽Wealth Creation: For a rural household, these schemes are projected to increase annual income significantly, with targets reaching up to **US$2,000 per household by 2030**.

### Economic and Social Impact
The resurgence isn't just about fruit; it’s about a structural shift in the rural economy:
✍🏽Export Earnings: Total horticultural exports tripled in 2025, reaching **US$181.7 million**, driven largely by blueberries and avocados.
✍🏽Employment: The expansion of irrigation from 15,000 to **35,000 hectares** is expected to create thousands of jobs in logistics, agronomy, and value-added processing (such as avocado oils and purees).
✍🏽Infrastructure: To support this, over **25,000 boreholes** are being sunk across villages to "climate-proof" the orchards against erratic rainfall.

With the 2026 season already showing strong flowering and high global demand, the transition from "subsistence" to "surplus" is becoming a reality for thousands of Zimbabwean growers.

@praisechox @BhudhiGhivhi Drawing a leaf from Richard Mahomva's analysis of the opposition, the lack of resilience in the opposition has consequently produced a cry baby kind of opposition that is fixated at complaining instead of resiliently challenging the status quo.

[Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Int Trade @MoFA_ZW]

Today, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Prof. dr. Amon Murwira, attended the post-Cabinet briefing at the Munhumutapa Building.

Such engagements underscore efforts to ensure that Cabinet deliberations are communicated in a structured manner, thereby reinforcing public awareness, confidence, and alignment between government priorities and national interests.

Political parties exist to sustain and consolidate power and this political reality suffices the promulgation of policies that would make political parties liver longer.

ZANU-PF National Chairman, Cde OCZ Muchinguri-Kashiri, emphasized that His Excellency President Dr E.D Mnangagwa is protecting and supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by creating a more favorable environment for them to operate. She noted that projects that can be undertaken by local SMEs should be reserved for them rather than being given to foreign entities. Additionally, she commended the President for his efforts in empowering citizens.

@praisechox Then what is wrong with self transmogrification.

[TANAKA MICHAEL MTIZWA @therealtiboi]

@praisechox A campaign promise might be election excitement induced, it is not a policy. You can only held them accountable for a policy unfulfilled not campaign narratives.

[TANAKA MICHAEL MTIZWA @therealtiboi]

@praisechox Dont be fixated on the referendum issue, because the flow of events has already proved that a referendum is out of the conversation.

NDS2: War Veterans Housing- Legacy and Empowerment

The Presidential War Veterans Housing Scheme in Maphisa serves as a powerful symbol of the transition from the struggle for sovereignty to the pursuit of **socio-economic dignity**. As the nation approaches its 46th Independence Day, projects like these bridge the gap between historical sacrifice and modern-day empowerment.

The initiative reflects several core pillars of the national development agenda:

1️⃣Restoration of Dignity
By moving beyond symbolic recognition to providing physical security, the scheme honors the veterans of the Second Chimurenga in a way that impacts their daily quality of life. Providing shelter is a direct fulfillment of the promises made during the liberation struggle.

2️⃣The Spirit of "Leaving No One & No Place Behind"
The expansion of such housing schemes into areas like Maphisa demonstrates a commitment to **devolution** and inclusive growth. It ensures that development isn't just centralized in major cities but reaches the districts where many veterans reside.

3️⃣Economic Empowerment through PREVAIL
The involvement of organizations like PREVAIL highlights the shift toward **practical empowerment**. It transforms housing from a static asset into a foundation for further community development and economic stability for the beneficiaries.

4️⃣Celebrating Legacy Through Infrastructure
Infrastructure is often the most enduring form of legacy. Just as the New Parliament Building or the Gwayi-Shangani Dam represent a forward-looking Zimbabwe, these homes represent a nation that remembers its roots while building its future.

As April 18th draws near, the Maphisa project stands as a reminder that the "Zimbabwe they fought for" is an ongoing project of construction, restoration, and national pride. 🇿🇼
