๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฆ ZIMBABWEAN-BORN TYCOON SAVES A BIG SOUTH AFRICAN COMPANY
Peter Moyanga, a Zimbabwean-born tycoon based in South Africa, has partnered with South African businessman Robert Gumede to acquire the financially embattled sugar giant, Tongaat Hulett, for R4 billion.ย
The intervention is expected to save at least 20 000 jobs within the sugarcane industryโprimarily in KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalangaโwhich were at risk of being lost to unavoidable company liquidation.ย
Moyanga and Gumede have briefed Zulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini on their plan to rescue the historic company and preserve the livelihoods of the thousands of workers currently at risk.
Tongaat Hulett, which is headquartered in KwaZulu-Natal province, also has operations in Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Botswana.
The person who "doesn't do office politics" will end up unemployed, underpaid, or confused why they are not getting promoted.
Politics isn't optional. It's the actual job.
You will no longer be charged for checking your account balance (banks and mobile money), or for depositing your cash.
Here are new RBZ measures on bank charges:
RBZ Governor says banks have finally removed the charge for balance enquiries.
Cash withdrawal charges have also been reduced to 2% from around 4%

The ZRP commends motorists such as this one:-
Good morning all.
On Friday a combi pulled up next to me at the Borrowdale Village traffic lights that were red. He was in the right turning lane. I suspected he would cut into my lane to go straight so I opened my window and told him not to cut in front of me. He then took off, did exactly that, AND went thru the red light at same time.
I followed once the light turned green and came across him picking up passengers further along. I went behind him, took a pic and pulled up next to him and said that I would be reporting him and drove off.
I did report him to Avondale Traffic police who then arrested him that afternoon. I was asked to make a report at Borrowdale Police Station, which I did. I saw the vehicle parked there.
As there was a public holiday on the Saturday, there was no court. The vehicle has been there all weekend. I got a call this morning asking me to appear in court tomorrow morning, which I will happily do. Let's see the outcome.
Avondale Traffic encourage anyone to do this if they can. Yes its an inconvenience for us. But if we all did one every so often I'm sure it would make an impact. We can be their eyes when these combis are breaking the law. Just the fact that he will have lost business for at least 3ยฝ days should make him think twice next time. ๐ I hope.

We're happy to hear that Arcadia Mining has opened a Lithium Sulphate plant in Zimbabwe, but the question we need to ask is: who owns Arcadia? We understand that Arcadia was owned by Prospect Lithium Zimbabwe, a subsidiary of Prospect Resources, an Australian company, which sold 87% interest in the lithium company to Huayou (Zhiegang Huayou Cobalt), a Chinese company.
So, is there any Zimbabwean ownership in this Lithium Sulphate mine and plant, to leave dividends in the hands of Zimbabweans? And does the Lithium Sulphate get turned into finished products, or is it just being roasted and purified by sulfuric acid (creating toxic pollutants) and then exported to power factories in China?
This is important because we can't have extraction of ore, removal of rocks and by-products, and concentration of minerals without producing finished products, with profits being externalized, being pushed as beneficiation or industrialization, because itโs not. It's just a processing plant to make sure foreigners export pure lithium without rocks, ore, and impurities, and externalize profits without banking in our banks.
This leads to depletion of our minerals, pollution of the environment by toxic chemicals, exploitation of Zimbabweans as cheap labor, no real industry development, and no skills transfer to turn us into an industrial powerhouse.
We need to ask these questions while foreign companies are still starting their so-called processing plants, especially knowing they'll be using toxic chemicals like sulfuric acid and mercury, which may end up in our river systems that our rural populations depend on.
In places like Zambia, such toxic chemicals have ended up in rivers, killing livestock and destroying rural livelihoods, so we need to learn from this and adapt accordingly.
