Zimbabwe plans to use more breathalyzers at roadblocks to prevent drunk driving accidents. The government will also add a smart traffic system through a partnership with Dubai-based Vitronic Machine Vision Middle East, which plans to invest about $80 million in the project.
Ministers Kazembe Kazembe and Felix Mhona announced the shift toward electronic traffic management. They said technology treats everyone equally, regardless of status or connections. Police roadblocks will continue operating as the new system rolls out.
The government recently received the breathalyzers it ordered earlier. Officials want citizens to report dangerous drivers they see on the roads. They believe public cooperation helps make roads safer for everyone...
According to Ambassador Mahomed Jassat, President Mnangagwa's chief advisor on global affairs, Zimbabwe aims to change its global image through recent economic reforms. Jassat believes false information and sanctions have hurt Zimbabwe's reputation for almost twenty years. He sees changing perceptions as more important than fixing economic or political issues.
Countries from the Gulf region, Asia, and BRICS nations already form partnerships with Zimbabwe. Trade data shows the UAE became Zimbabwe's largest export market with $293 million in shipments as of October 2024. South Africa ranked second with $172 million in exports, followed by China at $73 million. UK-Zimbabwe trade reached $543 million, increasing nearly 25 percent in recent...

The SADC Military Health Working Group toured the Geo Pomona Waste Management facility and praised its contributions to regional health. Zimbabwe Defence Forces Brigadier General Godfrey Mutetse, incoming chair of the group, said the project supports sustainable development goals through proper waste handling.

Outgoing chair Brigadier General Jackson Kasela from Zambia expressed surprise at the clean environment, mentioning he could eat next to the waste processing area. The facility helps maintain healthy living conditions for citizens through effective street waste collection and processing. CEO...
Zimbabwe businesses can freely set prices after the government canceled exchange rate restrictions. Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube repealed the law requiring companies to use official rates when pricing goods. The previous rule from May 2024 had banned businesses from using exchange rates higher than those set by the central bank. Market competition will likely push businesses toward fair pricing as consumers shop around for better deals.
This change follows increased stability in the Zimbabwean gold currency. Some retailers already used rates around 30-32 ZiG per US dollar instead of the official 27, but authorities ignored this practice. The government simply made legal what many businesses were already doing, according to monetary...

Their partnership already covers agriculture, manufacturing, education, energy, transport, and investment.
Karankevich added that Belarus is proud to participate in important joint ventures benefiting both populations. The nations...
