Thrilled to comment on President Mnangagwa’s address at the Doha Social Development Summit on #ZTNNewsPlus! He said sanctions are a political grievance & a block to #SocialJustice and development in Zim. He called for debt relief and a reformed global financial architecture.

On ZBC Current Affairs, I highlighted the role of SABA in shaping African narratives & championing African solutions to African problems. Broadcasters must urgently embrace AI to transform the industry. This is key to future-proofing our media. Innovation is not optional.

Zimbabwe’s push for equitable representation in the UN Security Council is NOT just about one country; it is Africa’s decades-long demand for a fair global voice! The call for all international actors to champion durable peace is a mandate, not a request. Peace is the bedrock of progress.

I had an interesting interview with ZTN’s NewsPlus. I emphasised that the Zanu PF leadership must shun corruption and champion people-centered governance for Zimbabwe to develop. It is time to put the needs of Zimbabweans first to truly unlock our country’s potential.
