Parliament’s Budget and Finance Committee launched public consultations for Zimbabwe’s 2026 National Budget, with citizens calling for higher spending on health, education, and social services to ease economic hardship. Participants in Bindura urged better pay for teachers and dedicated funding for mental health programs. Others proposed tax incentives to spur growth and youth employment. The consultations, held nationwide, will conclude on Oct. 10, 2025, before Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube presents the budget next month.
