The video from Gambakwe covers a comprehensive political and economic reform proposal for Zimbabwe under a new political entity called “M31.” Key points from the video include:

  • M31 proposes a radical restructuring of the Zimbabwean government to have only 8 ministries, significantly fewer than the current 26 ministries. The new ministries would be:

    1. Ministry of Tourism Infrastructure (combining tourism, transport, roads, airports, hotels, and resorts)

    2. Defence

    3. Finance

    4. Justice

    5. Education (covering all educational levels)

    6. Foreign Affairs

    7. Home Affairs (handling national identity, immigration, and civil administration)

    8. Health

  • The main focus is creating a tourism-based economy instead of an agriculture-based one. This ministry of Tourism Infrastructure will be the largest, overseeing all infrastructure supporting tourism.

  • The proposed streamlined government aims to increase efficiency, reduce administrative costs, and clarify accountability by having broader ministry portfolios.

  • M31 plans major development projects including building 1 million houses, relocating diaspora Zimbabweans, and establishing development corridors connecting key cities for tourism and economic growth.

  • Gambakwe highlights the current dire state of Zimbabwe’s infrastructure, especially the road from Victoria Falls to Bulawayo, showing clips of poverty and neglect.

  • He critiques the existing large and fragmented government structure as misaligned with economic goals, costly, and ineffective.

  • M31’s manifesto includes no income tax and no corporate or capital gains taxes, instead relying on VAT, transaction fees, and tourism-related charges for revenue.

  • The new government strategy involves a long-term plan spanning over 1,000 days to reshape Zimbabwe, improve living conditions, attract tourists, and boost investment.

  • Gambakwe calls for Zimbabweans, including diaspora, to unite under this new leadership vision aimed at revitalizing the country’s economy and infrastructure.

Overall, the video is a detailed campaign and policy presentation outlining a bold plan to drastically reform Zimbabwe’s government structure and economic focus through tourism-led growth and streamlined ministries. It contrasts the proposed M31 model with the current larger government setup and emphasizes urgent infrastructure development to support this vision. The message is hopeful about Zimbabwe’s future under new leadership beginning in 2028, pending political change. This proposal aims to end Zimbabwe’s economic and social decline by focusing on efficiency and key growth sectors.
