Zimbabwe is taking a significant step forward in addressing two of its most pressing public health challenges: bilharzia and intestinal worms. The Ministry of Health and Child Care (MoHCC) has launched a nationwide mass drug administration (MDA) campaign, running from October 14 to 21, 2024, targeting children aged 5 to 14. This initiative aims to address the widespread impact of these neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) across the country, representing a holistic strategy to improve community health, boost education outcomes, and support the nation’s broader development goals.

As Zimbabwe navigates the complexities of its economic recovery, the role of exports has emerged as a critical engine of growth. This reality is at the forefront during the ZIMTRADE Exporters Week, which kicked off on October 14, 2024, in Bulawayo. More than a mere gathering, this annual event has become a cornerstone for Zimbabwe’s export ambitions, providing a vital platform for local businesses to connect with international buyers and chart a path toward sustainable economic progress.

The agricultural sector has long been the backbone of Zimbabwe’s economy, supporting livelihoods and driving economic growth. However, the country’s dependence on rain-fed agriculture has made it vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, including erratic rainfall, prolonged dry spells, and extreme weather events.

The recent uproar over alleged British interference in U.S. elections has revealed stark double standard by the West. While the U.S. expresses outrage at the perceived violations of its sovereignty, it has, for decades, engaged in political meddling in other nations, particularly in Africa, through organizations like the Carter Center, United States Agency for International Development (USAID),

As 2024 marks the fifth year of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) campaigning for the total removal of sanctions against Zimbabwe, the significance of this milestone resonates deeply within the country. Initiated under the leadership of the late Tanzanian President, John Magufuli, who championed the cause during his chairmanship of SADC, this campaign has evolved into a critical element of Zimbabwe's political and economic discourse. The ruling ZANU-PF party has consistently linked its last month’s conference resolutions to this ongoing effort, viewing the removal of sanctions as a key step toward national recovery and sovereignty.

In recent years, Zimbabwe has faced various challenges that have often been magnified by both external observers and local voices. While criticism can sometimes be constructive, it is disheartening to observe a growing trend of thriving on negativity, even when there are opportunities to highlight progress and potential. This inclination to dwell on the negative has the unintended consequence of undermining our national pride and distorting our collective story. As Zimbabweans, it is high time we change our perspective, choose optimism, and work toward promoting a positive narrative that shines a light on our country's achievements and ambitions.

For over two decades, Zimbabwe has suffered under crippling sanctions, primarily imposed by the United States through the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act (ZIDERA) and supported by the European Union. These sanctions, initially implemented under the guise of promoting democratic reforms and punishing alleged human rights abuses have, instead, served as a death sentence for Zimbabwe’s economic and social development. Far from their intended purpose, the sanctions have become a calculated tool for economic suffocation, eroding the nation’s ability to grow and prosper, and depriving its people of access to essential services such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure.
