@ Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube
“Zimbabwe's economy grew by 8.3% in 2025, while foreign direct investment increased from US$597 million in 2024 to US$965 million in 2025. The tourism sector alone attracted more than US$1 billion in investments during the NDS 2021–2025 period and the momentum is continuing.
As such, tourism investment increased from approximately US$190.5 million in 2024 to US$194.5 million in 2025, and in the first half of 2026 alone, Zimbabwe recorded approximately US$132 million in tourism investments.
In the first quarter of 2026, tourism investment increased by an extraordinary 438 percent. This remarkable progress is an affirmation of the able and capable leadership of President ED Mnangagwa.”
Zimbabwe is a failed state in which the few filthy rich are getting richer and richer whilst the filthy poor are getting poorer and poorer and their numbers are growing exponentially.
Minister Ncube talks of the economy growing by 8.3%, the only growth many people can testify of is in the mining sector. The number of small-scale miners, “makorokoza” as they are known locally, has increased by leaps and bounds (for many it is either one becomes a mukorokoza, a street vendor or leave the country). The other growth in the mining sector is at the top end by mainly Chinese. Mountains sides are disappearing and shipped out Beira in convoys of heavy duty lorries.
It is laughable that Finance Minister should be wittering about the booming mining sector when most of the mineral wealth extracted is not declared as the Al Jazeera Gold Mafia documentary revealed. 80% of the US$2 billion per year gold extraction was being smuggled, the documentary revealed.
The Al Jazeera documentary came out in 2023 and to date none on the those involved in the smuggling have been arrested. For the record Mnangagwa, Chiwenga and many other Zanu PF leaders were named in the documentary.
When those in the highest offices in the land are themselves the Mafia Godfathers, you have state capture, the Mafia is the State and the State is the Mafia. It is near impossible to uproot corruption!
Our hospitals have no medicines and schools have no teachers because many have left to escape the slave wages. Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube has no money to allocate to health and education and yet he knows that Dr Kudakwashe Tagwirei squandered a staggering US$40 million on his son’s wedding alone. Dr Tagwirei is one of the filthy rich few whose wealth says one thing and tax return says the opposite; the Ministers knows that and has never dared to investigate. UNTOUCHABLE!
“In the first quarter of 2026, tourism investment increased by an extraordinary 438 percent.” How so?
Last week, one MPs announced in parliament that it took him 15 hours to drive 364 km from Bulawayo to Hwange. How is it possible that tourism is booming regardless of the reality the tourists cannot get to their destinations because of the sorry state of Zimbabwe’s roads!

Chamisa calling for CAB3 to be reversed and says 2023 has to be resolved. Still waiting on SADC.
Here we go! Chamisa & co. were warned of the folly of participating in flawed elections to give vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the nation's suffering. They refused to listen and Chamisa even lied that it was God's plan to participate.
Zanu PF rigged the elections, as warned would happen. Chamisa strung the nation along for months claiming SADC leaders were working to reverse the Zanu PF victory. And now he is back again to claiming SADC leaders are doing something to correct the 2023 result.
Of course, he is lying. If SADC leaders were ever going to deny Zanu PF legitimacy, they would have done so by now!
Chamisa is just acting like a child who wants to eat the cake and keep it too! USA Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Chris Dell said Tsvangirai would be "albatross round Zimbabwe's neck if he ever got into power". He was right about Tsvangirai and the rest of the MDC/CCC leaders!
@ General M
No brother let me be clear on Chamisa and your hatred. It doesn't mean that I don't hear everything you always say about Chamisa and other leaders in opposition and I don't just defend NC for no reason. Chamisa and other leaders are not superhumans but they're real humans who breathes like everyone in this world. They make mistakes, they do some good things as humans and its normal. This journey of fighting dictatorship in Zimbabwe everyone knows that its not a cheap thing which you just dream and wake up miraculously everything changed, its not like that. You Wilbert you know what I am talking about. I defer with you for just pretending like you don't know how Zanu pf as a terrorists regime operates. You claim that Chamisa lied to the people that elections are not going to be rigged, for me he wasn't lie to us but he had a confidence in the preparations to make sure elections will be contacted fairly and then victory for the people. The mistake we have as people we expect one person to fight for us while we are watching him and when things went wrong we start blaming him like what you're doing Wilbert. You build a house you put everything to secure your house in case of thieves, you put even burglar bars thinking that you are now safe but thats not a guarantee that thieves will not come to steal in your house and you know even banks they have even security guards with guns but robbers always came to steal, so can you blame a victim because thieves came to steal at the house were there's security? That's why I always say Wilbert you think its a walk in the park to fight a terrorists government like Zanu pf, please come on the ground let's work together in this struggle of fighting Zanu pf than to waste most the time fighting an ordinary person like NC who is not insulting anybody. If you're real fighter against Zanu pf as our common enemy why don't you come on the ground and work with us or even to organize or form your party or a movement with a solid plan which will help us to remove this terrorists regime and we can support you. Look, Brett has formed his own party although I know who is behind that plan of government in exile but at least he showed up and it's up to the people to decide, if people like his proposal then he will be supported. Your hatred towards NC will never help us in this quagmire situation, what we need is unity as people to focus on one thing, our struggle for change. NC never killed anyone, he never join or work for Zanu but he is a victim of Zanu pf and everyone knows that. Lastly I myself I will never compromise myself abandoning my beliefs and vision supporting what you always wrote against NC while I know very well that it is coming from bitterness and hatred. You are no different from Hopewell Chin'ono you're same whats app group. Come on the ground lets do the right thing as you claim that Chamisa failed. Thank you."
You are not just naive, you are a nincompoop!
Was Chamisa & co. still fighting the Zanu PF dictatorship when they failed to implement even one token reform during the 2008 to 2013 GNU?
When Chamisa lied about plugging all Zanu PF vote rigging loop holes and even evoked the name of God Almighty; was that a mistake?
You are defending Chamisa because you have a personality cult mentality. To you, Chamisa is a demigod who can do no wrong. Only a nincompoop believes that nonsense in this day and age!
It is a great misfortune that nincompoops like you have a voice and a vote. Worst of all, Zimbabwe has millions of nincompoops just like you and hence the reason we are a failed state!

MDC/CCC has failed to deliver any meaningful democratic changes these last 26 years because “we changed from a movement to a political party with elected leaders in parliament!” said Chamisa. “We must go back to being a movement!”
This is just rhetorical nonsense
Of course, the elected leaders had to take up their seats in parliament, how else were they going to change the laws to ensure free, fair and credible elections, for example. And now Chamisa tells us taking up the parliamentary seats was a mistake! What a truck load of bulls***t!
@ Potra
True because you have to admit the economic environment in Zimbabwe is not conducive for a thriving economy. Nations like China have industrial hubs where soft loans, building space, plant and machinery, local rates, etc. are subsidised. in Zimbabwe one’s own life savings where wiped out by hyperinflation, both council and government are looking at anyone trying to start a business as a gold mine!
@ Mugwagwa
This is the stupidity we have been fighting for 46 years - any one who criticise Zanu PF is a puppet and who criticise the opposition is Zanu PF. Has it ever occurred to you that both Zanu PF and opposition are corrupt and incompetent? FM!

"Mamwe macomments taneta nawo pano. Tiri kuda vanhu vane muono weramangwana rakajeka kwete kuramba tichitaura Munya."
You have never understood the past and hence the reason you keep repeating the same idiotic mistakes! You are so stupid you continue to ignore the past and refuse to learn from it because are chasing a better future!
You do not want to hear the past, that is your choice do not force your stupidity on everyone else!

MDC was launched 27 years ago on 11 September 1999 on the promise the party will deliver the democratic changes the nation was dying for to end the Zanu PF dictatorship. Alas! Zanu PF is stronger now than ever because MDC/CCC leaders have failed to implement even one token reform. Not one!
MDC/CCC leaders have become Zanu PF team B in all but name, playing for for team A to win and to have legitimacy.
It is disheartening to hear Nelson Chamisa pontificating about "changing a dictatorship is not a walk in the park. It's a marathon. Zimbabwe will be a healthy and functioning democracy is MDC/CCC had implemented the reforms especially during the 2008 to 2013 GNU.
For the full video see Chamisa's change because "sango rinopa aneta!" (It' about time!) Only idiots will bank on that!!!!
@ Isaac Makomichi
“With business-minded and compassionate leaders like Senator Tagwirei supporting President Mnangagwa, I have no doubt Zimbabwe will reclaim its position as the breadbasket of Africa by 2030. Where great vision meets a good heart, success is inevitable.

I will tell you this for nothing; Dr Tagwirei’s tax returns do not match his lifestyle!
One more thing, no nation on earth has ever prospered when the filthy rich do not pay tax and the filthy poor, who should be on state welfare, are the ones taxed to death!
I do not deny that Tagwirei and rest of the looting brigade are very useful to Mnangagwa. They are the ones bankrolling the dictator’s bribes and vote buying activities. Mnangagwa must have spend US$5b in vote-buying and bribes in 2023 elections. He must have spend at least half that amount in pushing through CAB3!
Mnangagwa has appointed Tagwirei as senator, one of the consequences of the obnoxious CAB3. Mnangagwa thinks CAB3 is done and dusted. It is not! Watch and learn!
@ Standard
Exposed: Plot to crown Mnangagwa king!
Mnangagwa may well have bitten more than he can swallow. He is going to choke on CAB3!
CABINET RESHUFFLE LOOMS: GATA, CHOMBO, CHIKOMO, MUSWERE, MAVETERA FACE AXE
PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa is expected to reshuffle his Cabinet amid mounting pressure within Zanu PF for disciplinary action against 14 MPs who failed to support Constitutional Amendment Act Number 3 (CAA3) during its passage through Parliament.
Several ministers and deputy ministers who were among the legislators who did not vote for the constitutional amendment could be removed from Government in the anticipated changes.
Those reportedly facing the axe include Primary and Secondary Education deputy minister Angeline Gata, Mashonaland West Provincial Affairs Minister Marian Chombo, Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Sheilla Chikomo, Skills Audit Minister Jenifan Muswere and ICT Minister Tatenda Mavetera.
Sources within the ruling party said the reshuffle could be used to send a strong message to officials accused of showing disloyalty during what Zanu PF regarded as a crucial parliamentary vote.
“The reshuffle is going to deal with all disloyal ministers. The President is expected to fire all rebels. This is not going to be business as usual because the issue of loyalty has now become very important within the party,” said a senior party source.
The source said the changes could also be used to distinguish officials considered loyal to President Mnangagwa from those perceived to be opposed to his political programme.
“Those who are seen as working against the President cannot expect to continue enjoying positions of responsibility as if nothing happened. The President has to make sure that his Government is made up of people who support his programme and decisions,” the source said.
Pressure is also mounting on Zanu PF to take disciplinary action against the MPs, with party members in some provinces reportedly preparing to petition the leadership and President Mnangagwa.
Among the MPs cited as having failed to vote for CAA3 are Joel Sithole, Rajesh Kumar Modi, Barbara Rwodzi, Dingumuzi Phuti and Ozias Bvute.
The issue has reportedly remained contentious in some provinces, with party members demanding action against the legislators.
“Party members are very angry in the provinces. The issue of MPs who failed to vote is not yet over. They want the party to take action because they believe the matter cannot simply be forgotten after such an important vote,” another source said.
The passage of CAA3 has raised the stakes, with the amendment providing for the President to be elected by Parliament.
“As you know, the President will be elected in Parliament. It is now high time for the party to axe all disloyal MPs or the party President will fail to win Parliament. The party cannot afford to have MPs who do not support the President when critical votes come before Parliament,” the source said.
Another source said the controversy had brought the question of loyalty to the fore within the ruling party.
“The party has to know who is with the President and who is not. When you have MPs who fail to vote on such an important piece of legislation, questions of loyalty naturally arise. That is why people are now saying action must be taken,” the source said.
CAA3 has since passed through Parliament and was assented to by President Mnangagwa, becoming law.
The anticipated Cabinet reshuffle could now become a major test of discipline and loyalty within Zanu PF as the party seeks to consolidate support around the President following the passage of the constitutional amendment.
CAB3 is an obnoxious law and every thinking Zimbabwean must do everything to break this law, this was imposed illegally on the nation and it must not stick!

Zimbabwe is a failed state because we have depended on either Zanu PF or MDC/'CCC to get us out of this mess when the former has dragged us into this mess and the latter has connived to keep us there. Promises from the likes of Chamisa that we will have change because we have suffered long enough. "Sango rinopa aneta!" as he said. This is just bulls***t! We are a failed state because we keep repeating the same idiotic mistakes such as participating in flawed elections.
Change will come, first and foremost, from learning from the place and stopping repeating the same mistakes. Second, by being smart and seizing the opportunity for change when it presents itself.
CAB3 is an opportunity to end Zanu PF dictatorship!
For full video see Youtube, FaceBook or X Zimbabwe is a failed state. What can we do to get out of this mess, the billion dollar question?

We know that Mugabe bribed the MDC leaders with the trappings of high office, the E-Class Mercedes Benz for all deputy ministers, ministers, 2 deputy PM and PM and US$40k cars for the rest, generous salaries and allowances all round, US$4m mansion for Tsvangirai, etc.
It is now common knowledge that the top brass MDC leaders got farms and other goodies. Ask the leaders about the farms and they suddenly pretend they are deaf and dumb - a situation that has suited Zanu PF to a T. Zanu PF has been releasing the details of the bribes paid to MDC/CCC leaders and the drip, drip leaks has left many of the MDC/CCC in a nervous wreck!
BRETT, you admission that some one has tried to bribe you is coming as no surprise. Your refusal of the bribe speaking about it openly is embarrassing the Zanu PF, MDC/CCC, Judges, Church leaders, etc. who sold their souls for 30 pieces of silver!
@ Dare ReChimurenga
"Stop making NOISE make money kkkkkk."
Corruption is rampant in Zimbabwe because most people are so stupid they only see the filthy rich few and the odd person who is gifted a car or the odd project like Mbudzi Round About that is completed great cost, etc. They fail to see the bigger picture of the millions living in abject poverty precisely because the resources that should be used for the good of all are being wasted through corruption.
"Make money!" So you think Tagwirei is making money by exercising the monopoly over the supply of fuel, for example, and charge the public an arm and a leg for it. He does not pay any duty or tax. He then use the looted wealth to bankroll the US$40 million wedding for his son, etc.
You see but do not comprehend. You hear but do not understand. Blessed are they who see and comprehend, hear and understand.
You are braindead. Decades and even generations of mental inactivity has taken its toll. Your brain has ossified into fat!
Corruption is a cancer, that is obvious. What is obvious to everyone is a complete mystery to you. You are curse for all times!
Why idiots like you have a voice and a vote is Zimbabwe's curse! Dictatorship like Zanu PF and their useless MDC/CCC political side-kick thrive in a land with millions of idiots so ignorant and stupid they can be conned to do anything the regime want!
@ Garwe
Double talk!
The real problem here is the voters who are so ignorant naive and gullible they can be lied to and conned again and again to do the leaders’ bidding one day and the next the same leaders are kicking them in the teeth. Zanu PF has rigged elections for 46 years and still they get away with it - that speaks volumes of the sheer stupidity of the voters!
The Ancient Greeks who gave mankind democracy were right, democracy only works if the people given the right to vote are educated, knowledgeable and objective; only then can they be trusted to carry out their sacred duty of diligently hold the leaders to account. It is foolish to expect democracy to work in Zimbabwe; millions of Zimbabwean voters have none of these qualities. None!
To make matters worse, neither Zanu PF leaders nor the MDC/CCC leaders have shown any desire to educate the voters because they do not want to be held to account. Indeed, these leaders have gone out of their way to keep the voters ignorant, naive and gullible.
Like it or not, universal suffrage is a curse for Zimbabwe, not a blessing!

When the white colonialists came to Africa, they had the Bible. Blacks were taught to pray with their eyes closed. When they opened their eyes, the whites has the land and the blacks had the Bible.
In Zimbabwe, 46 years after independence, povo continued to be deny title deeds to even one acre of land for the same selfish political reasons the whites denied povo title deeds. Whilst many people thought they were fighting to end white colonial oppression Zanu PF thugs were fighting to be the next oppressors.
As long as Zanu PF retains its political and economic struggle hold of povo the regime will never be democratically accountable to the people. The country's independence and the people's freedom, liberty and human dignity will remain compromised!
@ Mugwagwa
"According to you, the voters are ignorant, naive and gullible. Election is a curse. So how are you going to find your way into power?"
You should learn to address the issues raised and stop mixing things up and thus end up talking nonsense.
I explained why I said voters are ignorant, naive and gullible. If you disagree with the statement then say why you disagree.
Whether I am seeking to be elected or not will not change the reality of the voters being ignorant or otherwise.

“Why ZANU-PF Keeps Winning & What We Need To Do To Change That". Good question.
Fellow opposition supporters and activists, we need to have a serious conversation. We are up against a well-oiled machine in ZANU-PF, and whether we like it or not, they continue to out maneuver us. It’s not because they have better ideas or because the people love them—it’s because they are better organized and more disciplined in executing their strategy.
Compared to modern man Zanu PF are cave man buffoons who have managed to stay in power these last 46 years because the looted to bankroll the vote rigging machinery, used violence to silence opponents and have benefited from the breathtaking incompetence of the opposition MDC/CCC.
