I just a conversation with an Aussie mate of mine who is planning to visit Africa for the first time in about 4 months time. He's an avid fisherman and was planning to going to South Africa and Zimbabwe for Tiger fishing. It is his life long dream to land a Tiger fish. I talked him out of going to SA and instead suggested that he would have a better experience in Zambia...Why would I encourage my mate to visit a country that treats fellow Africans in a disgraceful manner. What I need from my fellow Zedians are recommendations of the best outfits in Zed that can give him a wonderful Tiger fishing experience. What else should my mate and his team do while they are in Zed? I'll pass on the details. Please don't let me down

The Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ) is pleased to announce that its new Board of Directors has been duly constituted and formally inaugurated. The inauguration ceremony was officiated this morning by the Honourable Minister of Health and Child Care, Dr. D.T. Mombeshora, marking the commencement of a new governance chapter for Zimbabwe’s foremost medicines regulatory body. The Board was constituted by the Honourable Minister, Dr. D.T. Mombeshora, pursuant to the Medicines and Allied Substances Control Act [Cap 15:03] and Section 11 of the Public Entities Corporate Governance Act [Cap 10:31], following the endorsement of His Excellency the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Dr. E.D. Mnangagwa. All appointments are effective from 08 May 2026 to 08 May 2030. The Board is led by Chairperson Dr. Clifford Chiura and Vice Chairperson Dr. Emily Wonesai Waniwa, and comprises members Dr. Tatenda Nyagura, Dr. Brian Paketh, Mr. Gerald Nyamutamba, Dr. Godfrey Matsika, Mr. Portifa Mwendera, and Dr. Raiva Simbi. Additional 4 more members will be added in due course. In his acceptance remarks, Chairperson Dr. Clifford Chiura expressed the Board’s commitment to the nation, stating: “As the newly appointed Board, we are committed to providing strategic oversight, promoting good corporate governance, strengthening regulatory excellence, and supporting management in advancing the Authority’s mandate. We fully appreciate the significance of maintaining public confidence in the national medicines regulatory system.” He further pledged, on behalf of the Board, commitment to serve with integrity, diligence, and patriotism in the interest of the people of Zimbabwe. Officiating at the ceremony, Honourable Minister Dr. D.T. Mombeshora charged the Board with clarity and purpose: “You are not a ceremonial body. You are the statutory governance structure responsible for oversight, policy direction, and accountability of this critical regulatory agency.” He reminded the Board that Zimbabwe has attained WHO Maturity Level 3 and challenged them to drive the Authority to WHO Maturity Level 4, positioning MCAZ as an excellent, trusted, reference regulator for the region. Immediate priorities include stopping the circulation of unregistered medicines, combating antimicrobial resistance, countering falsified medicines, and establishing a regulatory pathway for traditional medicines. The Minister concluded with a direct charge: “You have the authority and the trust of the people of Zimbabwe. Now execute your mandate.”

@MoHCCZim Minister Hon. Dr. Douglas Mombeshora, today, inaugurated the Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ) board. The board, which is being chaired by Dr. Clifford Chiura, is expected to make MCAZ a model of efficient, transparent, and responsive regulation. ##HealthForAll

I'm thrilled to be the 2026 recipient of the Flora Nwapa Literary Society Award. I'm honoured to be given an award that honours the first African woman ever published. I'm also stoked beyond belief as the award was also given to one of my household goddesses, Toni Morrison.

Grief can make the world feel unbearably heavy. Healing doesn't happen overnight, but sometimes having someone sit with you and truly listen can change everything. #FriendshipBench #MentalHealthForAll #Malawi

Under the sweep of our night spotlight in Hwange National Park, a pack of African painted dogs was deep in a feeding frenzy when two massive rhinoceroses suddenly materialized from the shadows, stepping forward to investigate the commotion. Imvelo Safaris Zimbabwe.

Honored to deliver the keynote at the Harvard CFAR Annual Scientific Symposium. A hard truth at the center of my talk: we have the tools to end HIV, but not everyone is benefiting from them. Deeply humbled by the standing ovation and hearing reflections on my talk all day
