President ED Mnangagwa has emphasized the importance of African unity and self-determination, arguing that foreign intervention often hinders progress and undermines the sovereignty of African nations. He highlighted the upcoming general elections in Botswana as an opportunity for the Southern African Development Community (Sadc) region to further entrench its democratic credentials.
Let’s chart our own development paths: President

Zimbabwe is confident that the electoral processes will go a long way towards consolidating constitutionalism and democracy in the region. Mnangagwa's call for self-determination aligns with broader movements across the continent advocating greater African agency and control over resources and development strategies. Botswana is Zimbabwe's key partner on multilateral platforms and is Zimbabwe's key partner on multilateral platforms. He commended Botswana and the Government of Botswana for their commitment and contribution to promoting peace and stability in the region, particularly in northern Cabo Delgado province in Mozambique.

Zimbabwe will be honored to have Botswana and other colleagues in Harare later this year, during the 44th Ordinary Summit of the Sadc Heads of State and Government. Zimbabwe is set to take over the chairmanship of the regional body during its annual high-level meeting later this year.

Lake Gwayi-Shangani completion a priority: ED

President Mnangagwa has reaffirmed the government's commitment to work towards the completion of Lake Gwayi-Shangani, which is one of the top priority developmental projects for this year. The dam is expected to bring unparalleled development and prosperity to the Matabeleland region, heralding a new era of growth and transformation. Once complete, the dam will address perennial water scarcity issues that have plagued Bulawayo for decades and create a green belt in Matabeleland North.

The dam's capacity to store millions of cubic meters of water will provide a stable and sustainable water supply, ensuring that communities, farms, and industries can thrive even in the face of drought and arid conditions. Infrastructure development continues to be a priority for the Second Republic, with greater focus on key projects including the Forbes border post modernisation, the Harare-Chirundu highway, the Harare-Kanyemba road, the Tugwi-Mukosi control tunnel, and the recapitalisation of the National Railways of Zimbabwe.

Minister of Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion Prof Mthuli Ncube stated that the absence of reliable water supplies for industrial use was putting a premium on economic activities due to increased costs from alternative options. The Treasury is scaling up investments in the provision of water for domestic, industrial, and agricultural use, with the Lake Gwayi-Shangani and pipeline construction being one of the priority projects in the allocation of funds from the 2024 national budget.

Once completed, the dam project is expected to stimulate economic growth and attract investments to the Matabeleland region, creating opportunities for the establishment of new industries, generating employment opportunities, boosting local businesses, and improving the overall standard of living for the people of Bulawayo and Matabeleland provinces.

ASL completes first phase of refurbishing Matobo Hills Lodge

African Sun Limited has completed the first stage of its $4.2 million renovation of Hwange Safari Lodge, aiming to revitalize its tourism offerings for the upcoming festive season. The company stated that the first phase, which includes 100 rooms, is now complete.

Lupane State University woos investors for key projects

Lupane State University (LSU) is seeking potential investors to partner in key projects valued at over US$120 million, aimed at transforming Lupane town into a modern city. LSU's development projects have the potential to transform the Matabeleland North provincial capital in a similar way as cities like Cambridge and Oxford. LSU presented its projects during the Matabeleland North Diaspora Investment Conference held at its campus in Lupane.

Among the top potential investor projects are infrastructure development for students and staff accommodation, office and lecture rooms, livestock and poultry projects, solar farm, and establishing a tourism school in Victoria Falls. The university has secured a 2ha piece of land in Victoria Falls for an international hotel school, valued at US$46 million. On-campus student and staff accommodation is estimated at US$5 million, while staff accommodation is estimated at US$9 million.

Plans are underway to develop a student one-stop services center at a cost of US$10 million and a roadside mall at US$5 million. LSU is also investing in a US$50 million solar farm to generate about 50MW. In the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, LSU is running various projects, including poultry, goat and cattle rearing, fisheries, and horticulture.

LSU has two blocks of students' accommodation with a total capacity of 1,400 and is looking to increase it through a Build-Operate and Transfer model where investment can be recouped through user fees. The university is also considering establishing a students' services centre for convenience, with an estimated project cost of US$10 million. A road sign mini mall with a fuel service station, fast food, grocery shops, salons, and other entertainment facilities is also being considered.

LSU is looking at an initial size of 50MW at US$50 million for a solar farm, which will be expanded based on demand over time.

Lobola payment, optional: New Marriages Act

The New Marriages Act in Zimbabwe has made it possible for men to pay lobola as a bride price, rather than a mandatory legal necessity. This change was made during a public legal awareness meeting in Masvingo Province. The Law Development Commission (LDC) director, Netsai Zvakasikwa, stated that the government acknowledges moral values and cultural customs surrounding marriages, but lobola payment is no longer obligatory. Traditional leaders in Zimbabwe have expressed disapproval of the change, but the LDC is focusing on unraveling speculations and ensuring people continue adhering to their traditional laws.

Chiefs of Masvingo province have expressed disapproval of the change, but the LDC is not advocating for people to ignore the required 'roora' payment to comply with the Act. Chiefs will soon be designated to officiate customary marriages within their jurisdictions following the new requirements. Villagers will no longer need to travel to cities to solemnise marriages.

The Act has introduced new obligations, such as verifying that the couple getting married is at least eighteen years old and unrelated in any way. Chiefs of Masvingo province, Mr. Adnos Chikomo, emphasized the importance of people's cooperation in preserving customary laws. The LDC is conducting nationwide legal awareness meetings to educate communities about the new law and its applicability.

Ziminya Dam to unlock Nkayi’s potential

The construction of Ziminya Dam in Nkayi District, Matabeleland North province, is progressing well, with locals benefiting from job opportunities and the project expected to transform the drought-prone district into a vibrant economic hub through water-driven value chain gains.

A tragic road traffic accident occurred on the Bulawayo-Beitbridge Highway, killing 22 people. A Toyota Quantum collided with a DAF truck, resulting in a head-on collision. Only two people survived: Ms. Junior Moyo, who was in the Quantum, and the truck driver, Mr. Kizito Mawoneke, who was traveling from Beitbridge to Hwange. Both were admitted to Mpilo Central Hospital.

The wreckage of the Toyota Quantum remained on the ground, covered in blood and brain matter. The wreckage contained clothing materials, including slippers, a hat, burst tyre, medicinal tablets, business cards, a female hair piece, and an A4 paper with grocery items.

Mat North leads in investment attraction

Matabeleland North Province continues to draw interest from investors; in the third quarter of this year, five new, significant projects totaling approximately US$51.56 million were licensed.

The province administration has praised the life-altering advancements, particularly in the mining and energy industries, where financiers have remained interested in funding projects in Matabeleland North despite the unlawful sanctions placed on Zimbabwe by some Western countries.

In comparison to other provinces, Matabeleland North drew a sizable investor share in the third quarter of this year, according to the Zimbabwe Investment Development Agency's (ZIDA) third quarter report, which was released yesterday.

President sounds death knell to corrupt councils

According to President Mnangagwa, heads will roll in for corrupt and ineptly run local bodies since the government has a duty to enhance living circumstances for urbanites who have been treated unfairly by opposition councils.

President Mnangagwa stated that in order to enhance people's lives, local authorities should create a path towards Vision 2030 as soon as possible, in keeping with the government's development focus.

The President declared that councils would not be allowed to pass 2024 budgets unless they could show that service delivery levels were both reasonable and attainable.

This occurs at a time when metropolitan regions, particularly Harare, the nation's capital, are experiencing unparalleled levels of service delivery degradation, which is contributing to the spread of ancient illnesses like cholera and typhoid.

Lake Gwayi-Shangani key to Bulawayo industrial growth

By attracting new investors and improving business operations for local enterprises, the Bulawayo City Council anticipates that the completion of building of Lake Gwayi Shangani in Matabeleland North will energize the city's economic transformation.

The massive body of water, which is currently 72% complete, is one of the key development projects in the area intended to give Bulawayo a long-term answer to its ongoing water difficulties.

The project is expected to be completed in the upcoming year, pending funding availability. It will provide numerous economic advantages for the whole Matabeleland region, including the creation of a mini-hydro power station, an eco-tourism sector, and a greenbelt that will guarantee national food security.

The government is now working on a master plan.

MET Department warns farmers against early planting

The MSD stated in a statement that the significant rainfall that has been observed thus far does not indicate the beginning of the rainy season.

Because of the recent rainfall being recorded in various areas of the nation, the Meteorological Services Department (MSD) has advised farmers not to rush into planting.

The rainy season does not officially begin today, according to the Meteorological Services Department. We encourage farmers to take advantage of the rains to expedite land preparation, which includes quickening tillage for conventional farmers and hole-making for Pfumvudza or Intwasa. Planting is discouraged for farmers without sufficient irrigation.

Let’s be our own masters: President

According to President Mnangagwa, the Second Republic has taken a new stand that coexists with the customary widespread protests and unwavering battle against the unconstitutional sanctions.

Alongside this, more is being done to engage and apply diplomatic pressure to individuals responsible for the creation and implementation of Zimbabwe's punitive measures.

Through a combination of actions, Zimbabwe has been able to overcome the ugly stigma of victimhood and impotence in the face of illegal sanctions and develop its economy through domestic remedies.
