Zimbabwe’s admission into the New Development Bank (NDB), popularly known as the BRICS Bank, is more than a diplomatic achievement for Harare.
It is a defining moment for Southern Africa and the African continent’s pursuit of economic autonomy, infrastructure-led development, and a more stable global financial system.
As an African journalist and President of TV BRICS AFRICA, I congratulate President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, Minister of Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion Professor Mthuli Ncube, the people of Zimbabwe, and the leadership of the New Development Bank for commencing a new chapter in Zimbabwe’s development story.
This decision deserves recognition because it reveals confidence in Zimbabwe’s future and demonstrates that Africa’s development aspirations are increasingly being supported by institutions created by the Global South itself.
