These four companies started in garages. They are collectively worth US$5 trillion today. The lesson here has nothing to do with starting from a garage but the focus and resilience you require to build a business that lasts. It takes patience relentless courage.

This will be HUGE! Tatanga Energy (A Masawara co) is leading a consortium called Mbuyu Energy which will develop a 1000MW Gas fired Power plant leveraging on the Muzarabani discoveries by Invictus Energy. Looks like Lupane & Chisumbanje (Verify) will be beaten to the race

ZimParks has so many hidden gems like Sebakwe Dam Recreational Park etc. If I were them, I would hire @PTChimusoro , make him Director of their Local Tourism Product & give him the mandate, support & runway + clear KPIs for him to work magic with the domestic tourism product..

I think @SRazaB24 owes the world an international best-seller. I think the next 12 months would be a great time to commission one. **Team up with an excellent author. I think the world of cricket loves him, his story is phenomenal and he seems like an overall good guy.

I get into a very busy Leopold Takawira street, i notice someone exiting a bay. I indicate to show my intention to occupy that bay. City Parking rushes in to block my way. They say I'm obstructing the road. I'm fined $68 to COH + $15 to ZRP Mayor @JMafume @cohsunshinecity

So MSMEs account for 60% of Zim's GDP yet they only access 4% of bank loans? Banks & Banking Sector Policies are not optimized to grow this economy!

Can you be ethical, authentic, intentional, different and rooted to your values and still succeed? I believe @nyarydhliwayo 's @YanayaLifestyle answers that question well. This brand personifies the triple bottom line (people, planet, profit).. Congratulations on the success!

In 1980 Shenzhen was a village of 300 000 people. Today its the biggest manufacturing centre in the world with a GDP of over $400 billion. [How did this happen? In 1978 the CCP under Deng Xiaoping decided to shift from politics to economic development] #AfricaMustThink

Paramount Garments is the largest clothing manufacturer in 🇿🇼. They employ over 2000 people (some sources say 3500). They're locally relevant & globally competitive, operating out of BYO & HRE. What's the secret to their success? Is it an exceptional B2B strategy, product or HR?
