Zimbabwe has so much resources, it’s time the ruling elites stop their looting and allow general people to benefit from nations resources. Zimbabweans no longer want to flee to South Africa as it’s become too hostile environment, we want our people to stay home and enjoy Zim like we used to in the past.

[majakaiye]

Billions and they are getting.05 cents for kilograms? Still wrong.

What's your channel agenda, you don't respect Hindus sentiments in your own country but your talking about world issue, I am you straight question what's your channel pseudo secular agenda

[DKSFyre]

That first clip is not of Zimbabwe, , stop putting out narratives..

[MADem]

This channel spreads bullshit... 😂😂
We Zimbabweans don't even know about the coups she's talking about. What's the agenda here. Focus on your country where you are

[Tendayi-mr]

Just imagine a country with more than 50 minerals lunguishing in poverty.people resorting to these method of surving

[iAfricanLens]

Please report on India issues...maybe show us how your caste system oppress the poor, generation to generation...

[reeazissa]

We even have lots of these in Malawi. Unfortunately those that will harvest it will only get 5% the real value

[BusinessBoys]

1:16 that is not zimbabwe, that is in Ethiopia.

[bat]

The Western media mentality still continues. If you don't report about military Juntas in Africa you're absolutely sure you're going to talk about hunger and starvation

[nomagcisacawe]

I hope its not Ramaphosa's fault. Remember, he congratulated mnangagwa on his poll victory😂

[bisi]

why the negative introduction. The coups and the crisis. hella racist.

[padmagovindaswamy]

Interesting. I would like to see more close up visuals of the flower. Raw fruit. Pulp . Is it sticky?

[BenardBiryomumisho]

In Africa if we need to develop we need to accept our differences (all animals are equal but not equal)

[daxinnthenomad]

Watching from Zimbabwe. Yes baobab is plentiful in my area

[muno-ll]

Is Zimbabwe under any drought because i saw the president dishing out brand new vehicles to chiefs yesterday

[Tsitsi]

Good, unadulterated, organic, nutritious fruit ❤❤ Go Zimbabwe go!!!

[el-jpxp]

Still better than many north indian villages

[elizabethfowler]

What a shame the reporters cannot pronounce the word B A O B A B. Practice makes perfect.

[Bofia]

While in Angola 🇦🇴 they are cutting down all baoba trees (imbondeiro - sua fruta - fruit - mucua)
