Excited to announce that @BantuBuzz is a TOP 20 Finalist in the CANEX Creative Pitch Competition 2026 in Lagos, Nigeria! 🇳🇬
We're not just building a marketplace. We're building Africa's AI-powered Creator Intelligence Infrastructure.
All this noise over Jam? What's happening in the TinPot there are literally a billion spots to hang ?

The origin story of Paynow with co-founder & CEO Vusi Ndebele.
When Vusi Ndebele and the team at Webdev were scaling their digital platforms, they ran into a roadblock: online payments simply didn't exist in a usable way. To power e-commerce, they had to build the financial infrastructure from scratch.
🎙️ As Vusi puts it: "If we could have gotten away with it, we wouldn't have built the payment side. We built it because there really was no alternative."
"We kind of kept on getting deeper and deeper into building infrastructure because there wasn't anything that was readily usable for us." - Vusi Ndebele
📺 Watch the full episode @rufarogz joined by Vusi Ndebele on how Paynow was built: part of our Zim–India Africa Tech Entrepreneurship Summit series exploring how necessity shaped Zimbabwe’s fintech landscape.

Have received some images of Platō Ruwa. New hangout spot in Ruwa.
Ruwa is a massive catchment area with middle class families and an ability to push +350 cups of coffee daily.

Finally got my hands on My Sister’s Lover by Dr @Yvonne_Maphosa. A few pages in, and quickly understood why @SueNyathi described it as “unputdownable”.
Always a good thing to see Zimbabwean writers and creatives putting our stories on the page. Supporting our own, one book at a time. Asbonge🙏🏽

2026 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years for Zim's capital markets in recent memory.
Every time I wake up, there's another headline.
Takura bringing Amalgamated Brands to market.
ZEEX launching its first IPO.
This pace is hard to ignore.
What's been the biggest capital markets story of the year for you?

Judged some amazing founders’ pitches at the Ideas Festival. Zim SMEs need patient, PE-style growth capital: cash repaid from their own cash flows, plus hands-on support from an in-house team. These are solid businesses with real revenue. More below👇🏾
