Chairman´s Comments
God has done His will for Zimbabwe! What Zimbabweans need do now is forge ahead with building the economy in the same spirit that God enabled peace and freedom to prevail during the election process. All parties must learn to accept that in a contest there are winners and losers and forge ahead with nation building. Egos don´t bring food to the table of millions of Zimbabwean and neither are they productive.

After so much politicking that led to a peaceful, free and fair election, which climaxed to an overwhelming victory by Zanu Pf, let by Robert Mugabe, we at Afrimond can only say, well done Zimbabwe! Where peace, freedom and fairness prevail, it signifies the presence of the Sprit of God. These are God´s traits. God has done His will for Zimbabwe! What Zimbabweans need do now is forge ahead with building the economy in the same spirit that God enabled peace and freedom to prevail during the election process. All parties must learn to accept that in a contest there are winners and losers and forge ahead with nation building. Egos don´t bring food to the table of millions of Zimbabwean and neither are they productive.
In my last comments I touched on Zimbabwean diamond industry, as we continue to explore the nature of the African diamond industry. Zimbabwe is the latest significant entrant in the global diamond industry; of which Africa contribute over 64%. Zimbabwe has many facets to it that makes it interesting to every visionary - the inner strength of its people, unwavering principles, and perseverance in trying times, flexibility, and embedded entrepreneurship spirit of its people and abundance of minerals.
I have known Zimbabwe (Rhodesia then) during colonialism and at Independence. I followed Zimbabwe during its trying times and when its people were melted in hot refineries as gold is melted in fire for perfection. I felt their pain, but with joy, because I knew what it was all about. That is what Jesus did! He cherished the cross that brought him much suffering and excruciating pain, because he knew what it was all about. Jesus was a visionary and He saw the glory that was waiting for Him at a distance. That was the joy that I felt as I experienced the pain that the brothers and sisters in Zimbabwe were subjected to because of their principles.
As a show of solidarity and a deliberate effort at sharing the pain in close proximity, I jetted in Bulawayo in June 2008, when no outsiders where interested in setting foot in Zimbabwe. For a week I ran a diamond awareness course intended at giving hope to the brethren, of the glory that lay ahead. God had opened a window in heaven to pour down his blessings upon Zimbabwe as a sign of the glory that was coming. Since then, God has released more mineral wealth in Zimbabwe that has made Zimbabwe the richest mineral country in the world. The very reason why there is a rabid opposition against Zimbabwe peoples wishes for self determination as demonstrated at the recent polls. It is about the control of Zimbabwean mineral wealth and nothing else.
The Zimbabwean people fought and won the battle for possession of the land. The wealth of Zimbabwe was in the land that they were fighting to possess – deep under the ground. The colonial master knew that. Much of the land was under the possession of a minority and highly protected. It was the controversial land grab that unexpectedly exposed the hidden riches of Zimbabwe. It had to be the hand of God at work! That mighty hand that no one can resist – the hand of exposition!
With the overwhelming win by Zanu PF and President Mugabe’s assertion that people empowerment will take the centre stage, we at Afrimond are unwavering in our conviction that Zanu PF will live to its promises. We have practically witnessed the burning desire of the Zimbabwean government to have its people take charge of their own destinies. We can only say Good luck Zanu PF! Continue running the race until total freedom is achieved. No matter the persecutions or negative circumstances around you, YOU ARE WINNERS!
