#Leadership Moment:
When it mattered, Sadio Mane chose not mob rule but rationale nuanced thinking. Not emotional outburst, but considered response. Tonight, he defined what respect, class, and clarity look like. A true African icon. A TRUE LEADER. #AFCON2025 #LionOfTeranga

This week, I had the honour of representing President Advocate Duma Gideon Boko at the Zambia Mining and Investment Insaka (ZAMII 2026), at the invitation of President Hakainde Hichilema.
Great, this. Well done @GomeraM
A title tells you what someone does. It rarely tells you what it took to get there.
I sat down with my friend @MumbaMusondam to talk about motherhood, ambition and her experience as a woman in global leadership. We also talked wetlands, and why their future is tied to ours.
This is Ukama with Max Gomera.
Ukama means kinship in Shona. The ties that hold us. The people who made us. The relationships that carry us through.
Over the next ten days, I’ll share moments from our conversation.
Come for the stories. Stay for the people.
Coming soon.
Good people. Good stories.

The destination is Bangkok. The purpose is Botswana. 🇧🇼🇹🇭
We head to the 2026 IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings with a compelling investment proposition, Botswana’s economic future is open for business.
With the Botswana Economic Transformation Programme (BETP) guiding our ambitions, we go in pursuit of investment.
We will engage global financial institutions and development partners to unlock capital, cultivate partnerships and create new opportunities that translate into businesses, jobs and better livelihoods for Batswana.

Botswana got selected as the host venue for the southern African portion of the IPO of the continent’s largest oil refinery, giving the relatively small market a key role in the region’s biggest listing to date bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

According to AfDB, raw bauxite sells for US$65 per tonne, while aluminium commands US$2,335 per tonne. That’s roughly 36 times the price per tonne. Africa must capture more of the value created after its minerals leave the ground. That means investing in local processing, reliable energy and industrial capacity, so our mineral wealth generates more jobs, income and opportunity at home.

My friend James Manyika has been awarded the W.E.B. Du Bois Medal, Harvard's highest honour in African and African American studies.
On Thursday night at Sanders Theatre, Strive Masiyiwa, himself a 2024 medallist, presented it to him. One Zimbabwean honouring another.
James is Senior Vice President at Google-Alphabet, leading research in AI, computing and science. I remember him in my office in Harare over coffee, talking AI and autonomous vehicles.
It all began with a first-class engineering degree at the University of Zimbabwe, then Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar.
He now stands with Muhammad Ali, John Lewis, Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, Harry Belafonte and Wole Soyinka.
Zimbabwe has never been short of talent.
Congratulations, my friend. You make us proud.

Botswana’s economy grew by 8.7% in the second quarter of 2026, with mining, particularly diamonds, driving much of this recovery. This is encouraging, and I want to recognise the continued efforts across our diamond industry to rebuild demand, market natural diamonds....

South Africa has significant reserves of PGMs, manganese and chrome. But much of this wealth still leaves as ore or concentrate.
