Hosia Mviringi Telecel Zimbabwe, the country’s third largest Mobile Network Operator, has refuted claims that the company has been put under Corporate Rescue Proceedings as claimed in a Notice published in the government Gazette of 12 May 2023. In a statement to shareholders and all stakeholders, the company, through its Board Chairman, Dr. James Makamba said that the legal process by the Communication and Allied Workers Union of Zimbabwe, which was used as the basis for the Corporate Rescue Proceedings was successfully challenged at the High Court, rendering the Notice a legal nullity. “Telecel Zimbabwe (Pvt) Ltd wishes to assure the public, stakeholders, creditors, and all interested Telecel persons that it continues to provide its services as normal. An invalid legal process by the Communication and Allied Workers Union of Zimbabwe was lodged in the High Court of Zimbabwe under HC 306/22 in October 2022 through Gumbo and Associates legal practitioners. That application was opposed. ...

 #SundayMussings  Prof. Jonathan Moyo It's International Relations 101 that a penchant for and infatuation with trivialities is not part of diplomacy, it's trivial pursuit. With this in mind, one does not have to hold a brief for anyone to understand that the coronation of King Charles III was essentially a showcase of an archaic and obnoxious tradition of hereditary rule - frowned upon in most parts of the world now under republican rule of one sort or another, while still a big deal in the United Kingdom of once upon a time, Great Britain - that dates back some 1,000 years ago. There’s therefore nothing geopolitically significant or even interesting about that primitive culture, where someone called Charles was crowned head of state by virtue of his birth at a ceremony where "His Majesty's Government" had no qualms about displaying the full repertoire of imperial loot like the stolen African Star and majestic gold from former British colonies, many of whose lead...

  Dr  James Makamba   Hosia Mviringi When the news filtered in that Mt Darwin had been selected to host this year’s Independence celebrations, a first of its kind in independent Zimbabwe, the feeling amongst many skeptics was like, “How can Mashonaland Central Province afford to host such a massive event given the seemingly ‘inadequate’ infrastructure in the province?” Many skeptics doubted the ability for Mt Darwin, a rural district which has just been accorded town status to host an event of such a magnitude. A look at all feeder roads into Mt. Darwin town on April 18, 2023, the atmosphere resembled the euphoria that griped the nation on the same day in 1980 when Zimbabwe’s Independence was birthed. Roads were packed with both vehicular and human traffic, while long que formed outside the main venue at the newly opened Mt Darwin High School grounds (quickly nicknamed ED Mnangagwa Stadium).  Overnight, Mt Darwin was transformed and everyone from all over the country...

President in Niger for Extraordinary Summit on Industrialisation, Diversification Hosia Mviringi President Emmerson Mnangagwa has arrived in the Niger City of Niamey where he will take part in the 17th attend the African Union Extraordinary Summit on Industrialisation and Economic Diversity, and the Extraordinary Session on the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The President, who left the country last night, leads Zimbabwe's Second Republic's charge towards economic independence and autonomy from the past colonial hegemony. The Summit is expected to give impetus to the African continent's drive towards provision of high-level political inclination towards attainment of a globally competitive Industrialisation program through public-private partnerships (PPPs) at national, regional, and continental levels. This will be achieved through deliberate policy coherence, coordination, and investment financing. The Extraordinary Session of the AfFTA will discuss among ot...

                            Dr James Makamba President belauded for an effective anti-sanctions drive Hosia Mviringi President Emmerson Mnangagwa has been extoled for being a leading light in the country's protracted struggle against the US war sanctions on the country. Adding his voice to the anti-sanctions discourse on the eve of the Africa-wide fourth SADC commemorations of the Zimbabwe Anti-sanctions Day which falls on October 25 every year, business magnet and recently elected Central Committee member for Mt Darwin, Dr James Makamba heaped praise on the President whom he described as an indefatigable workhorse. "Zimbabwe has been under an illegal economic sanctions regime for over two decades now. But it only took the coming to power of President Emmerson Mnangagwa to convince SADC and subsequently the African Union about the evil nature of the unilateral economic sanctions by the US and the European Union. His d...

  The late Zororo Makamba shares a moment with his father James Zororo Makamba immortalised Hosia Mviringi Zororo Rufaro Makamba, the last born son to business mogul Dr James Makamba, who succumbed to the then novel Corona Virus on March 23 , 2020 at a tender age of 30, has been honoured posthumously by his former school St John’s College. The college has erected a memorial gate dedicated to and named after the late prolific academic, broadcaster, sportsman and philanthropist.  The story of Zororo Makamba invokes sad, yet very important memories not only for the Makamba family but for the entire Zimbabwean society as he is recorded in history as the very first victim of the deadly Covid-19 virus. His sad passing as a result of this shameless disease can be credited for being the clarion call that raised the all-important alarm that awakened national conscience towards the disease which at first was misconstrued as a Whiteman’s disease. Zororo’s death demystified the deadly dis...

Hosia Mviringi As Zimbabwe moves a gear up in its fight against misinformation and brand misrepresentation, Agos Consulting, a leader in brand and reputation management, in partnership with the Government of Zimbabwe, is set to launch Brand Zimbabwe in Harare on September 5, 2022. The launch comes in the wake of a a spirited campaign by sponsored media, journalists, as well as the civil society, having gone on a sustained crusade to paint the country in bad light, all for political expediency. Regrettably the media has ignored, or at least no one has cared, to look at and tell the beautiful side of the country. It is this media obsession with negativity that has prompted Brand Zimbabwe to come in to engage media practitioners in a holistic manner, to enable them to appreciate the virtue of telling the good Zimbabwean story. Cognizant of the fact that it takes a collective effort to communicate the good message about the country, Brand Zimbabwe will launch its drive to engage all player...
