ZMX recently signed deals with three farm product markets from nearby countries. These new partnerships connect ZMX with market systems from Malawi, Zambia, and Tanzania. All four groups belong to the African Continental Free Trade Association- Association of Commodity Exchange, known as A-ACX. The agreements were made last week during a special meeting.
Mr. Collen Tapfumaneyi, the chief executive officer of ZMX, explained how these partnerships create fresh sales opportunities for local farmers. He mentioned that people currently trade between countries without good systems. Farmers must travel long distances just to sell their crops, which wastes time and money. These new connections solve that problem.
The four market systems act...
The Kenyan High Court just struck down rules forcing parents to pay school costs through the eCitizen platform. Justice Chacha Mwita declared that these rules broke constitutional law. He canceled the January 2024 paper from Education leader Belio Kipsang that started this mess. The judge said officials never asked regular citizens what they thought before making this big change.
The court also found the extra fifty-shilling fee tacked onto each payment breaks the law. Parents already pay taxes that fund government services, yet officials wanted them to shell out more cash for using a system they never requested. Justice Mwita called this unfair double-charging completely unreasonable. He questioned why anyone should pay extra to keep...
Dr. Paul Tungwarara, who serves as the Special Presidential Investment Advisor, called Blessed Geza a failed politician who only acts for selfish reasons. He asked the former Zanu PF Central Committee member to say sorry to President Mnangagwa and warned Geza to stop letting people who left Zimbabwe use him to undo progress made under the current government.
Dr. Tungwarara described President Mnangagwa as forgiving and willing to listen. The President remains open to talks with anyone who has opposed him. These comments came after the March 31 protests completely failed. Dr. Tungwarara claimed these protests happened because people wanted money, not because of real political problems.
His request for an apology fits with how the...
People across Zimbabwe ignored protest calls from terror groups Monday, showing they stand behind President Mnangagwa. Information Minister Dr. Jenfan Muswere brought this up at a press chat in Harare yesterday. He pointed out how citizens clearly back the Zanu PF government they elected. The country wants to keep its current peaceful situation.
Muswere described protest organizers as confused dreamers with unrealistic ideas. He singled out Blessed Geza as the main troublemaker, calling him a liberation war failure. Geza believed he could start an uprising, but his plans totally bombed. Peace remained solid throughout every part of the country.
Muswere stated that everyone must pitch in to meet national development targets. Security...
Zimbabwe's central bank plans to target people hiding money in bank deposit boxes, homes, and businesses. The practice keeps millions of dollars out of circulation when the economy needs that cash for everyday transactions. Back in February, RBZ Governor Dr. John Mushayavanhu called this behavior "financial disintermediation" and warned it hurts economic growth by making money scarce for businesses and consumers.
He pointed out that many manufacturers sell products to informal markets but never deposit the money they earn. Instead, these companies keep large sums in cash deposit boxes, breaking rules set by the Anti-Money Laundering Act. Dr. Mushayavanhu promised the Financial Intelligence Unit would address this problem. FIU...
According to Dr. Jenfan Muswere from the Information Ministry, Zimbabwe just approved a brand new media policy.

Leaders hope these changes will help media businesses stay financially healthy over many years.
This policy tries to teach citizens about Zimbabwe's core beliefs and history. Officials...

Zanu PF plans to bring businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei into their Central Committee. This move aims to strengthen connections between the party and business sectors. The Harare provincial leadership recommended Tagwirei on Monday for this top decision-making group.
Christopher Mutsvangwa, the Information Secretary for Zanu PF, discussed this yesterday. He explained that adding Tagwirei would keep the party aware of business needs. Businesses touch many lives through their products and services, making this connection important.
Mutsvangwa praised the timing as perfect because the President's reforms have started attracting major investors. He drew a comparison between Tagwirei's potential influence and how Elon Musk advises President...
The Minority Caucus feels angry about the secrecy around the February 9 National Security raid at a Sapeiman warehouse in Ga South. Officers found twelve big containers full of gold bars and piles of cash worth billions of dollars during this raid. Yet, almost no details have come out since then.
Rev John Ntim Fordjour leads the Defence and Interior Committee for the Minority. He spoke at an April 1 press conference and slammed National Security for staying silent about their raid. After two months, we still have no names of suspects, no arrests, and no exact counts of all the gold and money they found.
Many Ghanaians ask if the government might steal these twelve containers of treasure and lie about it later, Fordjour explained. The...
