Zimbabwe is celebrating its 46th independence anniversary with a long weekend filled with festivals, sports, and outdoor escapes. This comes as several economic and political developments are noted, including increased scrutiny on imports by Zimra, a 62% surge in tobacco exports due to strong global demand, and the rollout of drones to reduce medical delivery times to under 30 minutes. Edgars' financial performance indicates recovery and a strategic shift, with retail operations now complemented by financial services as a significant profit driver. However, challenges persist, such as power outages and raw material shortages impacting ART operations, leading to a decline in export and paper division volumes by 6% and 26% respectively in the third quarter to June 2022. Political tensions at grasslands plots have also resulted in violent attacks and forced evictions.
