@duma_boko @mr_snazz Please consider building a high performance center where this lads can show case their talent and have maximised by experts. Also consider a pathway in which those that are talented and have a huge potential to put us on a global stage get to receive allowances for their upkeep

How can a Minister say he didn’t know that 1 million pula was to be spent on him/his house & taste. Are we then not admitting that there might be a procurement flaw? I believe at some point he may have been briefed & given a chance to select a furniture store of choice.

@Sbizo @StizzyWizzyRay High requirement of qualifications and experience for CEs is set, plus deliverables.. clearly those have to align with some salary or benefits structure. As for Ministers, besides ceremonial power/privilege; o hoo ke hano. I doubt there is a parastal CEO in that 400-500K bracket

@StizzyWizzyRay Setlhomo let’s be honest guys our Govt must abolish all these allowences and pay MPs and Ministers well. How can a Parastal CEO earn 400K to 500K a month while a Minister or MP earns 50K? If you give someone a solid basic salary then we won’t be having all these tennis games.

@katlo_gothaang It is a pity that our legislative framework is more friendly to foreign nationals coming in the pretext of FDI, they get to be given tax breaks on imported machinery and other materials needed to aid their investment. The same gesture is rarely accorded to citizen.

No disrespect to you Mr Makoba, but there is no possibility in you becoming the president of this country, maybe of the BDP by some whimsical luck. This is a complete waste of your energy and efforts. You are getting yourself in matters well above your ancestral pay grade.
Ame Makoba@AmeMakoba

There’s no shame in having or not having if it is the product of honesty. We must gain honour in how we conduct ourselves and our affairs. Ga ke na gauta le selefera, but this is the honest fruit of my labour and God’s grace upon me. As promised, I hereby publicly declare. I am running for BDP Presidency, ke kopa go sekasekwa. #YaRonaRotlhe

When I relocated back to Zimbabwe in 2003, the ZANUPF Government refused to allow me to practise journalism in Zim because I was working with the BBC. Stuck in Harare, I had two options, to go back to England where I had spent the last 9 years studying and working, or staying put in Harare. I chose to stay, but without a journalism job, I had to make a plan. I became one of the biggest mobile phone suppliers in Zimbabwe, importing mobile phones from London and supplying mobile phone shops and even networks like Econet and NetOne. I used to fly to London three or four times every month, I was loyal to Air Zimbabwe which flew 3 or 4 times a week to London. The route was very productive and financially viable for Air Zimbabwe, but as usual, ZANUPF destroyed not only the airline’s London route’s productivity, it also hired incompetent managers to run the airline. Sometimes Robert Mugabe would just take the plane for his own use and a flight would be cancelled, or a direct flight from Harare to London would be diverted to another destination that he was going to, and we would be downgraded from Business Class to Economy to accommodate the old git. My mobile phone operations required me to be in Manchester or London by appointment because the mobile phone suppliers there were failing to meet demand, so it was a first come first served basis but by appointment. If you missed your slot, you would have to wait in London with screaming customers in Harare waiting. Unlike in other countries where I have done this business, Zimbabwe didn’t have a working banking system which I could use to wire money and get the product send to me without having to fly there. I literally lived on the Air Zimbabwe Boeing 767 planes, the flight crew were now my second family. Today it hurts me to see this airline dead, many families who relied on it for work are starving and our national pride gone. Unlike my path where I relied on adaptability and resourcefulness navigating challenges thrown at me by the ZANUPF regime, not many could manage the complexities of the airline’s disruptions. Many businesses that relied on the existence of the airline folded. I was able to develop a successful mobile phone business in the absence of a stable banking system with the assistance of the airline. My professional path evolved in unexpected ways, but I wouldn’t have made it without Air Zimbabwe. I won a British Government Chevening Scholarship in 2006 which took me back to London to read documentary filmmaking and with that, my journalism career moved from radio to television joining Britain’s ITV News. But not many entrepreneurs had the luxury of winning scholarships and going back to their traditional careers like I did, many collapsed without the services of the airline. I was lucky to be one of the pioneers of this “cross border” mobile phone bulky supplier trade. Econet and other big mobile phone suppliers needed phones to put in their shops, but they were selling in Zim Dollars as mandated by the law, and the central bank couldn’t give them foreign exchange. So people like myself became the middlemen taking the burden of looking for foreign exchange on the streets, selling the product to the big companies in Zim Dollars and going back on the streets again for more forex. We kept Zimbabweans talking thanks to the availability of Air Zimbabwe, sadly that route died years ago. This story is not just about Air Zimbabwe, it is also a message to the youths about a testament to resilience and resourcefulness and overcoming challenges in a complex environment. The intertwining of my business success with the rise and fall of Air Zimbabwe and how crucial the airline was for facilitating my mobile phone business and supporting other entrepreneurs is the reason why we continue calling for change. We have traveled many paths and we know that with the right environment, many will prosper. But meanwhile, keep looking for opportunities created by the mess!
