1. I am inspired by Zimbabweans who excel against all odds. 2015 Brian Mawoyo @brinka1972 was retrenched by Econet after working there for 8 years,rising to senior manager. Unemployed and with a family to care for he immediately ventured into horticulture #AmazingZimbabweans👇🏿
2. Today he owns Spinyard Seedlings one of Zimbabwe’s largest producers of seedlings. Employs 32 people at 2 sites with capacity for 15 million seedlings. Client portfolio is over 2000 customers including NGO’s. He is exploring expansion into SADC. #AmazingZimbabweans
3. Like me Brian says looking back he is happy he got fired. The journey was painful but lots of learning along the way. Kids had to change schools and he had to move out of his home. Now the kids are in schools overseas and he has moved back to his home. #AmazingZimbabweans
4. Brian didn’t wallow in self pity and victim hood. I see lots of “professional “ victim hood on these streets. Brian supplies commercial farmers with seedlings and sponsors school agricultural competitions. He is big on philanthropy and loves God. #AmazingZimbabweans 👇🏿

1. We are a polarized , angry and hurting nation. The tension in our society is palpable. Over the past few weeks during my morning prayer/meditation I have been drawn to pray that all leaders in our society be driven by one thing namely - what will improve the lives of people
2. Thus , I have found myself praying in particular that President Emmerson Mnangagwa, Nelson Chamisa and all leaders in society be focused , not on their personal ambitions to get power or retain power , but be seized by the desire/passion to do right for all Zimbabweans.
3. Moving the nation from where it is will require sacrifice from our leaders to focus on the big picture not narrow selfish interests or ambitions. No single individual has the answer to all our problems. It will take ALL of us compromising and working together to make progress

Dear Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
1. Informed and objective consensus is that we are headed in the right direction. The pain of “austerity for posterity” is real. Price volatility, erosion of disposable incomes , rotten infrastructure and power cuts are all hurting. Social destitution is acute
2. Change is never painless particularly undoing decades of misguided policies. And we have just started so patience and courage are called for. Any political leader promising painless change is being dishonest especially given our desperate circumstances.
3. A few things threaten our progress to normalcy namely our attitudes, corruption, US sanctions and vested selfish interests. Winning requires a national effort. Sanctions benefit those who want us to fail namely hardliners in ZANU-PF and some in the opposition MDC.

1. My #AmazingZimbabwean for April is Philip Mataranyika who established Nyaradzo Funeral Assurance Company 18 years ago. A humble, kind and easy going man Philip has built an amazing brand synonymous with quality service. 👇🏿
2. Philip worked for Old Mutual for 15 years gaining experience and insights that have helped him and his colleagues build Nyaradzo into a household brand. Currently Nyaradzo employs 1 500 people with 42 service centers across Zimbabwe. #AmazingZimbabwean
3. Nyaradzo has opened a service center in Johannesburg and is working on a new center in London. I have personal experienced the caring and consistent service of the Nyaradzo brand which helps bereaved families deal with the loss of loved ones. #AmazingZimbabwean

CELEBRATING EACH OTHER🇿🇼

1. As 2018 draws to a close I want to celebrate #AmazingZimbabweans who gave me courage/hope amidst the pervasive gloom/doom around us. People who spoke up/fought for their convictions. Folks whose can do attitude saw them triumph against all odds.
2. Thank you @begottensun for having the courage to launch your @FreshInABox at a time when many thought it was well-nigh impossible to do business in Zimbabwe. Proud of you. #AmazingZimbabweans
Fadzayi @advocatemahere my 13 year old daughter looks up to you. You ran a principled political campaign that inspired a whole generation. You taught us that a different value based politics is possible #AmazingZimbabweans

A. I have been working the phone over the past 90 minutes. This is what I can share
1. Intelligence/police ruling out MDC as a source of Bulawayo explosion. MDC clearly don’t have capacity.
2. Militant activists in Bulawayo have been questioned and ruled out
B. Second suspicion is Robert Mugabe sympathizers. Did they do this. Do the G40 elements ie @ProfJNMoyo who have threatened civil war have capacity. Perhaps.
C. There is strong sense that there is a military element that does not want to see peaceful elections. Elections would give electoral mandate to ED and weaken role of military. So why have elections? This element rules out MDC victory
