Ambassador Uebert Angel

MY LOYALTY IS A MATTER OF CONVICTION, NOT CONVENIENCE. Standing next to His Excellency, President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, is a moment I genuinely value. My support for him is deliberate and founded on my convictions about leadership, economic transformation and Zimbabwe’s future. I am a Mnangagwa loyalist, and I have never been shy about saying so. My support goes beyond personalities; it is informed by economic performance, agriculture, mining, infrastructure development and the country’s overall economic trajectory. I believe leadership must be judged by measurable outcomes, not promises alone. Consider the numbers. According to the World Bank’s 2025 GDP growth data, Zimbabwe recorded 8.1% growth, compared with 1.1% in South Africa and 3.8% in Zambia. In laymen’s terms Zimbabwe grew 7 times more than South Africa in 2025 alone. That’s astronomical growth. Agriculture grew by approximately 24%, mining by 7.3% and manufacturing by 4.2%, according to the African Development Bank. Merchandise exports reached approximately US$10.2 billion. Our gold, platinum and lithium resources further strengthen Zimbabwe’s position in the global economy. I also recognise the commissioning of Hwange Units 7 and 8, adding 600MW to generation capacity, the rehabilitation of the Harare–Beitbridge Highway, airport expansion and other infrastructure investments. These developments strengthen productivity, trade and the foundations for industrialisation. I am equally conscious of the challenges we still face and I understand that growth must ultimately be felt in people’s pockets. Recognising progress does not mean ignoring the work that remains. My political position, however, has never been ambiguous. If there are factions within the party, of which I know none, I have made my position clear: I belong to the President. My allegiance is to Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa. My loyalty is not dictated by political seasons, shifting alliances or convenience. I also remain a man of conviction who will never participate in anything that undermines the Head of State. I have never known the President to be a man who undermines others or engages in unnecessary squabbles. I stand with the President. My convictions for peace should not be mistaken for weakness, my restraint for neutrality or my peace-loving nature for an absence of conviction. I am a man of peace, and I believe peace inspires investor confidence and economic prosperity. I have long wanted to see Zimbabwe industrialise, diversify its exports, attract investment, create employment and move up the global value chain instead of depending on raw commodity exports. I believe H.E. President Mnangagwa has made significant strides towards that vision and continues to make it possible. For that reason, I believe we should support him. I am proud of Zimbabwe, proud of its potential and unapologetic about the leadership I support. My loyalty is deliberate. My conviction is firm. My allegiance is clear. One President. One vision. One Zimbabwe. NYIKA INOVAKWA NEVENE VAYO! 🇿🇼 #EDMnangagwa #MnangagwaLoyalist #Vision2030 #ZimbabweRising #EconomicTransformation #ZimbabweIsOpenForBusiness
