Zimbabwean journalist <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Hopewell_Chin'ono/">Hopewell Chin’ono</a> has compared the Cabinets of Zimbabwe and China, highlighting the differences in qualifications and numbers. He noted that despite China’s larger population and higher GDP, it has only 21 ministries, while Zimbabwe, with a smaller population and GDP, has over 26 ministries.
Chin’ono criticised the lack of expertise in Zimbabwe’s Cabinet and its negative impact on the country’s economy. He contrasted this with China’s Cabinet, where many members hold advanced degrees and have a track record of professional success. Chin’ono emphasised the need for political discipline and national interest, as demonstrated by China, to drive progress and combat corruption.

</ul>
<a href="https://twitter.com/daddyhope/status/1701363770386169901">Posting on X (formerly Twitter)</a>, Hopewell Chin’ono said: 
<blockquote>
China is a nation of 1.5 billion people with a GDP of US$20 trillion, it has 21 ministries, yet it is the second biggest economy in the world.
Zimbabwe is a nation of only 15 million people with a paltry GDP of only US$20 billion, yet it has more than 26 government ministries with deputy ministers, yet it is one of the worst economies in the world with the highest global inflation. It even has an Orwellian Ministry of Truth dubbed the Ministry of Information and Publicity. 
Do you now understand why we are a joke and laughing stock to the world? 
Whilst President Mnangagwa has appointed a cabinet of family, friends and actresses, four out of the seven members of China’s Politburo Standing Committee hold degrees in Social Science and Humanities. 
The majority of the Chinese Central Committee members are trained in Law, Economics, and Social Science. Within the Chinese Central Committee, 45 members have a PhD degrees. Out of these 45, three members of the Chinese Politburo, and two members of the Politburo Standing Committee have a doctoral degree. Chinese President Xi Jinping is one of the Politburo Standing Committee members who holds a PhD, the other one is premier Li Keqiang. China’s top two leaders have doctoral degrees and have a professional track record. 
Then Africans wonder why the continent is a joke to the outside world and why we don’t progress whilst others outdoor us on every development index? Imagine that the people who were appointed today by President Mnangagwa are essentially the best foot forward for him. For China it is not just about education, it is also about political discipline and national interest. That is why they execute corrupt political elites, in Zimbabwe we would be left with No Government at all if we applied the same Chinese standard on corruption. 
I had dinner with 2 Chinese diplomats in 2012 after <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Ibbo_Mandaza/">Dr Ibbo Mandaza</a> asked me to drive him to the dinner meeting at Great Wall Chinese restaurant in Belgravia in Harare. These diplomats asked us why Zimbabwe sends useless people for trade negotiations and why our government officials don’t take notes. They asked if we can’t see that there is a difference between national interest and personal interest. I felt so humiliated when they started talking about the number of poor citizens that China lifted out of poverty every year. 
In Zimbabwe we can only talk about the number of citizens that ZANUPF has impoverished annually. We don’t even have a working radiotherapy cancer treatment machine in the whole country. The biggest hospital only has ONE working maternity theatre. We have a ministerial cabinet that can’t think beyond its nose, and that has no gravitas or world view at all, and you still wonder why Zimbabwe is the sick man of the Southern African region? We used to be the second most sophisticated economy in Africa after independence.

Chin’ono added that he is a member of the Tutu Fellowship/African Leadership Institute where they have ministers and ambassadors from various African countries who are highly competent individuals. He highlighted the example of an ICT minister in Nigeria who had a background as an entrepreneur and associated with influential figures like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. In contrast, he criticised the appointment of <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Tatenda_Mavetera/">Tatenda Mavetera</a> (MP) a former actress, as Zimbabwe’s ICT minister, questioning her ability to engage with figures like Gates and Zuckerberg.
Chin’ono argued against exaggerating the level of education in the country, emphasising that having educated individuals does not necessarily translate into an educated nation. He expressed concern about the lack of vision among leaders, focusing on corruption, repression, and the misuse of resources. He concluded that Zimbabwe is “doomed.”

Hopewell Chin'ono Has Compared Zimbabwe And China's Cabinets

Facebook’s parent company, Meta, has sacked over 11 000 employees and is set to extend the hiring freeze.
Meta had overextended, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/nov/09/why-mark-zuckerberg-announce-11000-job-cuts-meta">The Guardian</a> reported citing Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Like many of its competitors, Meta believed the rise in online activity during the coronavirus pandemic was a permanent shift which could continue even yonder the lockdowns.
As Meta’s revenue surged during the lockdowns, the company invested accordingly. 
However, Meta’s revenues contracted, leaving the company, with almost 90 000 employees, financially exposed.
Zuckerberg also said wider “macroeconomic downturn” hammered all tech stocks equally, as profit today started to look tastier than growth tomorrow in the eyes of investors facing the end of the western world’s zero interest rate policy. 
He also said there has been “Increased competition,” which hurt further, as did “ads signal loss”.
Although Zuckerberg did not name Facebook’s rivals, it is believed he was referring to competition from TikTok, a trendy app stealing users and dominating the zeitgeist and a change of policy at Apple. 
In 2021, Apple limited the amount of data, or “signals”, Facebook could gather about the behaviour of iPhone users, which made it harder for small businesses to use Facebook adverts to profitably acquire new customers.
In 2021 alone, Meta spent more than $12bn (£10bn) on research and design (R&amp;D) at its Reality Labs metaverse wing and brought in barely a sixth of that in the few metaverse products it actually makes revenue from.
 Those losses are growing: in 2019 Reality Labs lost $4.5bn with $500m in revenue, and in 2020 $6.6bn with $1.1bn in revenue. In an earnings call in February, Zuckerberg said he expected the losses to “increase meaningfully” over 2022.
Shareholders panicked. Brad Gerstner, the founder of Altimeter Capital, and a long-term shareholder in the company wrote an open letter to Zuckerberg in October, calling on him to radically scale back. 
If Gerstner’s estimate is even remotely accurate, Meta could pay every single employee who is losing their job a $9m severance fee, and still spend less than it is expected to invest in building out the metaverse business.

Facebook's Parent Company Meta Has Sacked Over 11 000 Employees

The popular messaging application, WhatsApp, is set to introduce new privacy features, the CEO and co-founder of Meta Platforms Mark Zuckerberg has announced.
In a post on Facebook this Tuesday, Zuckerberg said they want to ensure that messages are kept private and secure as face-to-face conversations. He said:
<blockquote>
New privacy features coming to WhatsApp: exit group chats without notifying everyone, control who can see when you’re online, and prevent screenshots on view once messages.
We’ll keep building new ways to protect your messages and keep them as private and secure as face-to-face conversations.
</blockquote>
Meta Platforms, Inc. is an American multinational technology conglomerate that owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, among other products and services.
Responding to Zuckerberg’s post, Mohsin Jafar wrote: “Dear Mark Zuckerberg, can you put any such features on WhatsApp that what message should I send to my wife when I forget her birthday/anniversary or buying groceries?”
Javaid Rahi said: “Please add another feature so that no one can add anyone as a member or Admin of group on WhatsApp without his/her permission /approval. Permission should be a must. @ Mark Zuckerberg”
Priya Patel said: “Whatever you are making, it shows that you should not get caught by your girlfriend and boyfriend, you are not protecting the apps, but you are making two lovers do not see the family.”
Arif R Hossain said: “Instead of putting money to find an exit strategy, just add a simple step so that people can’t add us to a group without our prior consent. (Most of us hate being part of unnecessary groups and often consider whether it is rude to drop out of a group. The simplest way to get out of this is with a filter that will prevent strangers or anyone from adding you to an unknown group).”
Nick Claus said: “Now I’m very happy.No screenshots will be used against us, by our wives and girlfriends during an argument. Mark Zuckerberg Please also make sure they cant post motivational quotes after we break up.”
Esther Baumbach wrote: “Hi Mark, I was wondering if you could ahhh it’s fine just leave it. There’s no need. I have changed my mind. Thanks for listening.”
Solomon Buchi said: “God bless you. Do fast.”
