WHILE there are many beautiful things about Zimbabwe’s ongoing march towards prosperity, of great concern is the failure by certain characters in our midst to embrace the many unravelling opportunities from the country’s return to the global community.
The country has, since November 2017, been on an unprecedented economic revival and development trajectory that has gained traction with the rest of the progressive world.
Premised on a plan to reintegrate into the global political economy now shifting towards a new world order, Zimbabwe has come up with policies to match.
That plan revolves around engaging friendly nations while re-engaging with previously hostile ones.
The results are there for all to see. And the world is now converging around the many investment opportunities in the country.
While all this has been happening, with delegation after delegation visit-ing the country to actually invest, two disturbing issues have emerged.
These two issues are meant to keep the masses in perpetual poverty or in a state of eternal distress.
There is an opposition camp that has been abandoned by its erstwhile found-ers and funders.
There is also an opposition camp that still somehow believes that the masses can remain stuck in their politics of condemning the country to suffering so that they can find their way to State House.
Linked to those two unfortunate, but potentially damaging incidences, has been the failure by some to embrace the opportunities that are arising from the country’s emergence from the doldrums.
Fortunately, as what has happened to the so-called illegal regime change agen-da, a key definition of the opposition in the country, everything else linked with the suffering of the masses is collapsing.
We will not let the opposition parties and their affiliates off the hook.
Zimbabwe has, as we have extensively explored in this publication, had the misfortune of an opposition that has dismally failed to clearly assert what it really stands for, hence their futile at-tempts to destabilise the country.
Thriving on the suffering of the masses, they colluded with their Western han-dlers to create an economic implosion to gain power, something they believe will steer them to No. 1 Chancellor Avenue.
Publicly, they tell their supporters
to denounce and reject Government projects which have opened doors for the majority of a sane disposition.
Behind the scenes, they scour for those opportunities that are being availed by the same Government they pretend to detest. We shall expose them very soon.
In the meantime, we continue to deal with the positives that are coming from the Second Republic’s efforts to revive and develop the economy and how they can and will benefit the masses.
Current efforts to revive the country’s economy, opined one observer last week, are anchored on the innumerable infra-structural projects, the rebound of the mining sector as well as strenuous efforts to boost the agriculture sector despite the many climate-related challenges that are hampering the same.
There are, of course, political issues emanating from an opposition or characters from that part of the world who still cling to fallacious hopes of reversing the outcome of previous elections.
On Monday, evidently stung by the many milestones that have been scored by Government, former opposition
‘leader’ Nelson Chamisa sought to drag the country into a self-inflicted mess.
He claimed that SADC was ‘seized’ with his ‘dispute’ over the August 2023 harmonised elections, which he said were ‘rigged’ despite failing to produce evidence to that effect.
Regurgitating his now tired narrative, Chamisa claimed that Zimbabwe was facing what he termed a ‘legitimacy crisis’.
A few weeks ago, we spoke about how he had been promised a job in Government by some naïve character in SADC, a character whose uncanny relationship with the Americans is now irritating those who previously supported him as a champion of democracy.
Through this character, Chamisa was told soon after those polls that there would be a Government of National Unity in Zimbabwe and that he would be offered the post of Minister of Defence.
But as that supposedly secret pact falters, Chamisa is now clutching at straws, shamelessly lying to the world that he will push for a SADC Extraordinary Summit on Zimbabwe to attend to his petty issues.
That is not going to happen.
SADC and Zimbabwe are currently seized with the forthcoming 44th Summit of Heads of State and Government that will take place in Harare on August 17-18.

We also warned that there would be at-tempts to derail the summit through the opposition’s usual antics each time there is an international gathering.
Zimbabwe, in the eyes of the opposition, must never be in the spotlight for the right reasons hence those infantile antics.
But the passage of time has entailed that those who previously supported the opposition must now have a relook at their politics and embrace Government’s pro-people policies which are tailored to leave no-one and no place behind.
This week we will give tidbits of what is in store for the country, beginning next month.
It is going to be a frenetic period of activity for the country in the coming few weeks.
The Chinese are coming with all their might from June.
There will be numerous delegations, including from one of its biggest corporations, visiting the country to ink several deals.

Somewhere in the sleepy town of Makuti, Mashonaland West, a giant cement manufacturing plant is fast taking shape and will be commissioned anytime soon.
The British and the Americans are also desperate to join the Chinese at the high table. Is it any wonder they, too, are busy booking airline tickets to fly to Zimbabwe, not as tourists but as potential investors? Watch this space.
