Zimbabwe is tightening the net on mineral leakages.

Government is preparing a digital mine-to-border tracking system to trace minerals from extraction to export, targeting smuggling, under-reporting and lost revenue.
More accountability. More value retained at home.

UNGA81 is done, but now comes the important part: turning diplomacy into investment, trade and opportunities back home. Zimbabwe opened new conversations in New York. The focus now is converting those relationships into tangible economic value.

Zimbabwean culture can open doors too.

In Guatemala, First Lady Dr Auxillia Mnangagwa proposed deeper cultural links between Zimbabwe, Latin America and the Caribbean through exhibitions, gastronomy and youth arts initiatives.

Productivity matters, but joy does too.
Make space for both.

A nearly 30% NSSA pension increase takes effect on 1 October. 🇿🇼 Minimum monthly payouts rise from US$70 to US$90, while the workplace injury minimum moves from US$100 to US$130. What matters most is putting more value into pensioners’ pockets.

From UNGA81 in New York to preparations for the 25th COMESA Summit in Harare, Zimbabwe is engaging at both global and regional levels. COMESA brings together 21 states and over 600m people, putting trade, investment and industrialisation firmly on the agenda. 🌍🇿🇼

Zimbabwe’s mono-currency transition is not simply about circling a date on the calendar. The RBZ framework sets conditions first: low inflation, adequate reserves, exchange-rate stability, FX access, stronger ZiG demand and financial-sector stability.

Zimbabwe’s economy expanded 5.8% quarter-on-quarter in Q2 2026, reaching ZiG412bn. Mining, manufacturing, agriculture and wholesale & retail were among the contributors, putting productive sectors at the centre of the latest growth numbers. 📈🇿🇼

Mabvuku Interchange has moved beyond 50% completion, with beam installation completed. 🏗️ Once finished, the project is designed to separate traffic flows, improve safety and cut delays along the busy Harare–Mutare Highway and Beira Corridor.

Access to water has a direct impact on livelihoods. The War Veterans Borehole Drilling Programme adds a practical component to broader support initiatives for veterans, bringing water infrastructure closer to beneficiaries and their communities. 🇿🇼💧

Neighbours showing up for neighbours.
Zimbabwe has donated 10 tonsof food supplies to support communities affected by drought in Botswana’s Bobirwa District.

Beyond diplomacy, this is what regional cooperation should look like, practical solidarity when communities need it most.

Forget the slogans for a minute. What does DEVELOPMENT actually look like to you? A reliable power supply? Better roads? A functioning hospital? Jobs? Affordable housing? Clean cities? Faster internet? 🇿🇼 Under NDS2, which one would make the biggest difference in your daily life?

[Valentine Chebundu @ValChibs]

Africa should not simply be invited to the table when decisions are made about the continent. The Ezulwini Consensus calls for meaningful representation in the UN Security Council. That debate is central to #ZimAtUNGA81.

@citezw People need to be more careful especially when doing land prep. One stick of matches can change people's lives in a matter of seconds.

THE WARRIORS ARE HOME! 🇿🇼🔥

Monday night. National Sports Stadium. Zimbabwe vs DR Congo.

After a long wait, our boys are back where they belong, playing in front of the home crowd. Let’s fill the stadium and make Harare ROAR! ⚽🇿🇼

⏳ 26 DAYS TO COMESA!

“One Market, One Future” becomes the focus as Zimbabwe prepares to host the 25th COMESA Summit.

For Zimbabwe, this is an opportunity to strengthen regional trade links, attract investment and connect local businesses to a much bigger African market. 🇿🇼🌍

Sandawana is no longer just a lithium deposit on paper.

Mining, ore stockpiling and site development are underway in Mberengwa, alongside construction of the US$313m lithium processing plant. The goal is clear: mine it here, process it here and retain more value in Zim. #NDS2

[Valentine Chebundu @ValChibs]

Sandawana is showing what responsible mining should look like. 🏠🇿🇼

104 modern homes are being built for families affected by the US$313 million lithium project, alongside a 52km road and community facilities.

Development must also uplift the communities hosting it. #NDS2

Chinhoyi beckons. 16 days to go. From 12–17 October, the spotlight turns to the 23rd National People’s Conference and its theme: “From Resolutions to Results.”
