America Belongs to the Red Indians, Not Donald Trump

It is truly rich – almost laughable – for a descendant of immigrants, a man whose forebears were part of the same colonising wave that stole, plundered, and crushed whole continents, to stand up today and attack present-day immigrants without even seeing the blinding irony. Donald Trump speaks as though he is the “owner” of America, yet the only rightful owners of that land are the Indigenous peoples – the Native Americans his kith and kin displaced, exploited, and nearly erased.

And before he lectures anyone about “failed nations,” he should remember that Africa’s past and present are burdened by the slavery, colonisation, resource looting, and generational destruction inflicted by people who look exactly like him – people who built their wealth on African bodies and African minerals.

Zimbabwe Unveils NDS2 as President Mnangagwa Charts Next Phase Toward Vision 2030

Zimbabwe today entered a new chapter of its development trajectory with the official launch of the National Development Strategy 2 (NDS2), the five-year economic blueprint that will guide national priorities from 2026 to 2030.

When Sanctions Precede the Crime – South Africa’s Opportune Moment to Finish the Unfinished Business of Land Reclamation

South Africans, let me be blunt from the start: Donald Trump has just handed you an unexpected blessing – a golden, flashing invitation to reclaim your land with the same unapologetic clarity that Zimbabwe showed the world two decades ago. If sanctions are already being imposed on you for crimes you did not commit, why continue tiptoeing around the core historical injustice that birthed this entire controversy: land stolen at the barrel of a colonial gun?

Trump’s message is a crude attempt to resurrect the old racist script that Africans are incapable of governing themselves or managing their own affairs. And instead of engaging the South African government with diplomacy and fact, he has chosen outright fabrication – the grotesque myth of a “white genocide.” More …

Government Moves Swiftly to Stabilise Cement Supply as Economy Booms

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce has moved decisively to address the temporary cement shortages, outlining a clear and confident strategy that reflects the Second Republic’s commitment to maintaining economic stability while safeguarding consumers. The Ministry explains that the current pressures stem from a convergence of regional and domestic factors, including a widespread clinker shortage, scheduled maintenance at Sino Zimbabwe, and unexpected breakdowns at PPC and Lafarge. These challenges emerged at a time when Zimbabwe’s construction sector is expanding at an unprecedented pace, with national cement demand now almost three times higher than in 2017 – a direct reflection of the infrastructure boom driven by President Mnangagwa’s development agenda. Rather than signalling a structural problem, the temporary shortage underscores the scale of economic activity and the speed at which the country is developing.
