Acting President Kembo Mohadi, speaking from his office in Harare's Munhumutapa building, laid out the government's plan for 2026. The economy is expected to cool off, growing around five percent. That is down from the projected six point six percent this year. The focus will shift to the National Development Strategy Two, aiming to keep things moving through more factories, better mineral processing, and building infrastructure. Key areas like mining, farming, and services should keep driving the economy, helped by stable money, careful spending, and decent weather. Mohadi pointed to some wins from this past year while talking about next year's goals. He mentioned finishing most of the Harare Beitbridge Highway, with only thirty-seven kilometers left. Upgrades to the National Sports Stadium also got a shoutout, a move meant to let the Warriors and other local soccer teams host continental matches at home. He argued that more sports facilities could help fight drug abuse among young people. The government wants to tighten laws against dealers with a new bill in parliament. They are also looking to expand rehab programs with groups like Angel of Hope Foundation and the Red Cross. Beyond the economy and infrastructure, the acting president highlighted broader social aims. He pledged a continued push on healthcare, education, and housing access under the new national strategy. Supporting youth through job training and helping new businesses was another stated priority. Mohadi wrapped up by calling for unity and patriotism, framing these efforts as a way to honor the country's liberation history and build stronger communities. [/QUOTE]
