*Ecocash is On The Verge Of Committing Corporate Self-Sabotage* Ecocash is about to make the biggest brand suicidal mistake. After running a big brand for more than 10 years, investing in brand visibility, market confidence, top-of-mind awareness, and brand confidence, someone has just decided to throw all that away in the name of personal identification. The art of communication intent and purpose must be clear and concise, alleviating any doubt, especially when dealing with a big brand like Ecocash. There is an official circular making rounds claiming that EcoCash is now rebranding to “TN Cybertech Investments Holdings Limited.” If this is the correct interpretation of the circular, welcome to the biggest branding suicide of this generation. This, without a shred of doubt, will be the most ignorant, ill-advised, and pride-before-a-fall moment against one of the three biggest mobile money payment platforms in Zimbabwe.

*Zimbabwe’s US$400 Million Monthly Surplus Bolsters Economic Stability and Lending Outlook* Zimbabwe’s economy is showing growing signs of stability, buoyed by a consistent monthly foreign currency surplus of US$400 million, according to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ). The central bank reports that from January 2024 to February 2025, the country recorded average monthly foreign currency inflows of US$1.1 billion, while external payment obligations stood at US$784 million. The resulting surplus is creating a robust financial buffer that is helping to stabilise the economy, underpin the local currency, and strengthen liquidity across the financial system. “This surplus provides crucial breathing room for the economy, allowing us to anchor monetary policy and enhance confidence in the financial system,” said RBZ Governor Dr John Mushayavanhu. https://technomag.co.zw/zimbabwes-us400-million-monthly-surplus-bolsters-economic-stability-and-lending-outlook/
