Zimbabwe Signs $533 Million Deal with China to Revamp Railways | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Zimbabwe has signed a $533 Million deal with China to revamp its railway infrastructure. The deal has been signed with the TransTech Engineering Corporation, a subsidiary of the China Railway Group. Zimbabwe's railway network has been around for more than a century. It was built by the British during colonial times. After independence, Zimbabwe's rail network hit peak capacity in the 1990s, but it has been on the decline since. This has resulted in freight levels reaching less than 15% of their peak. Zimbabwe has great mineral wealth, but the lack of transportation means it cannot export enough minerals for profit.

Definitely bro !!! Definitely !!! And we won't forget what that Dirty Supremacist Fascist West has done to Zimbabwe when the Great Mugabe wanted to claim Zimbabwean Stolen Land. Actually, the Western Media Dirty Propaganda is efficient enough that many Blacks see the Great Mugabe as a Devil. Our people is way too ignorant and that is a big problem.

While Zimbabwe is definitely heavily sanctioned by west, China is not helping with good intentions. All it wants to do is grab Territory/resources/drown Zimbabwe in debt. China is just another British Raj with colonial intentions which is obvious from how it deals with neighbors. Look at Srilanka/Pakistan/Maldives how drowned in debt they are.

You seldom hear this woman talking about Sri Lanka's Hambantota Port nowadays, do you? Wanna know why? Because Hambantota is now fast becoming a transhipment hub for Asia-Pacific, the Middle-East and Europe. Definitely, a success story like Hambantota is a no-go-zone for this not-so-accurate roadside fortune teller, who spent several years since 2017 trying to convince everyone that it's a Chinese debt-trap.

Last I checked I think under a year ago, NRZ (National Railways Zimbabwe) had a long running deal with Belgium but after failing to pay them something like several millions (just under a billion I think) we only paid 20%. Belgium then lowered the amount but we still only paid 20% and the news then explained why we were struggling so much to repair our rail system. I wonder how China coming into the mix considering the rights of NRZ between Belgium and Zimbabwe will pan out. For now we will have to wait and see.

Her hatred for China blinds her rationality
Thanks China😂❤
The idea of building and controlling is good. This is because over and over again Africans governments proved inept in managing what they inherited from colonial governments. Even the Kenyan SGR is degrading very fast in areas being managed by Kenyans. Tribalism has quickly settled in and African "standards" is now getting visible. Zimbabwe has gone down not because of sanctions, Zimbabwe has gone down because of an African mentality. It's not only Zimbabwe, this could have happened to any African country. Africans need to study why China succeeded. Africa has been blinded by the West. Palki report comes from a biased angle. India's hate for China is a bit too obvious. She can only criticise China yet she knows very well India has no solution for any African problem to date. Zimbabwe is better of dealing with China but unless the African mentality changes, then development will wait.
What can india do for zimbabweans, you are against china, then what other solution do you have?
From 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲 zambia when this lady speaks about china I just 😂😂😂it's like she on SNL
Majority of crimes in South Africa are committed by Zimbabwean nationals according to their local media. That's alarming 😢

That map is not the position of Zimbabwe in Africa
When China first opened up in the 80’s it first chose to open south of China Shenzhen area. They needed roads and ports but not money. So it signed commercial deals with HK, Singaporean companies to build highway and ports. The companies that built managed and charges fees like tollways which was profitable. China’s exports accelerated and we just put those costs are transaction everyone gained. The Guansheng Highway whose lease just got extended for another twenty years bears testament that it works. Palki needs to learn the difference between colonialism and leasing
Thanks For The Update!
CHINESE WILL NOT DEVALUE THE CURRENCY THIS IS THE BEST DEAL THE CHINES THE BEST
We hope this will help Zimbabwe only if the so called China investors will shear head this without involving thieves from the Zanu government to loot the funds for their corrupt activities
Palki and China they don't go together.😅😅
Zimbabwe: we are celebrating the impact of 500 million dollars, yet less than a decade ago, the head of state came on national TV to declare that "We lost 15 billion worth of diamonds to some Chinese mining companies, unaccounted!" Why Africa 😢

Trust me you dont have the full picture.compare sanctions targeted to the white gvt against those against zanu. Remember whites will always watch out for each other despite these sanctions. A big example is ICC and america issued warrants for some non-white leaders except for putin in relation to crimes against humanity. Now their eye country israel commited crimes against humanity and america is threatening to sanction the ICC. THEY SAID STRAIGHT UP WE DONT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT COURT but if it was mugabe they will be much willing to enforce the ruling. DO more research. Rules only applies to their enemies
Well they should have some place to sell them later
@Palki I mostly think you are right, however, the British that built the infrastructure network in Rhodesia did it with passion and to last. Wht we've seen in Zim of Chinese infrastructure is something akin to a road that falls apart as the Chinese are done their activities here. People blame sanctions for Zim's state of dilapidation, but they fail to acknowledge thatbunder Ian Smith when sanctions were proper sanctions, unlike today's targeted sanctions, Rhodesia rose in power thru independence from Britain. High quality goods were made and the country was virtually self sufficient. The currency value even surpassed that of the Pound. Those who blame sanctions on everything are the same as those who sit on the roadside asking for money.
Palki didn't have any grapes today.
Zimbabwe doesn't share border with Mozambique edit that map and give right information
In any case we don't need the railway line.I mean,what for?we have nothing to carry
Give me one example that India built in Africa
You have not mentioned western sanctions one time.
All developed countries are in massive debt they accumulated during their development WHY NOT ZIMBABWE LETS GOO
INDIA HAS NOTHING TO OFFER NO ONE TOO POOR AND WEAK
Why dollar??? Not Chinese 🤑💰???
It’s beneficial for them; it’s not as if the Chinese will utilize the entire railway line solely for mineral extraction. It will generate employment opportunities. The Chinese aren’t the issue here; it ultimately depends on the politicians
In next 10 years it'll be Zimbabwean railway ❌ Chinese railway 🚂😂✔️
The comments are really amazing! Every single comment shits on Palki. And yet day after day Palki gets on a high horse and screams “China bad”
At least China is focused on infrastructure and transport, unlike the West which has no interest about development,all they want is lecture about marriage laws etc.
