My beautiful nation full of wonders from one corner to the other. You are graced with unique features one of which is a wonder of the world.
It is a nation where Victoria Falls lies on its boarders in the north. On its banks many come to pay tribute to the creator's expertise and awesomeness. Visitors from across the globe pay their journeys to see the small but beautiful country of Zimbabwe.
It is the same nation where one of the oldest stone work still stand as ruins but attractive to lure all from across the continents.
Great Zimbabwe (Masvingo ruins) stands as evidence of the beauty that lies in the land locked Zimbabwe. This structure stands to tell of the wisdom and intelligence within the African mind as inspired by the maker of all human race. Stone work built on rock without mortar but stone upon stone.
Tourists have come from far and wide to watch the wild beast, huge elephant, black and white rhino, the zebra and others. Game reserves are part of the Zimbabwean life style and makes it worth visiting.
Its people are of a kind, strong willed but peaceful and loving. Very intelligent and hard working. Where they go they bring with them a significant change. They stand up for value and serve not only their own ego as seen in the majority of the world's populace. Zimbabwe has a unique position in the earth and its transformation.
Fear of God is an aspiration as in most schools the Bible is a text for life skill, behaviour and character change.
My beautiful country where hope has remained for a better future.

WHY INVEST IN ZIMBABWE
In my latest blog I made a case that Zimbabwe will rise above its former economic status which has been lost over a decade ago.
I am confident that now that a new constitution is in place, a significant measure of development will be evident particularly with the soon coming elections.
History has it clearly printed on our minds as a reflection of what happened in Mozambique soon after the civil war that had ravaged the whole country, forcing many to seek refuge in surrounding countries including Zimbabwe.
As soon as the civil war in Mozambique ended and the US dollar was introduced as the main currency everything changed and the economy was transformed. There may be a lot yet to be accomplished but a significant change has been achieved.
The same happened in Zambia though the circumstances were different from that of Mozambique. The Zambian economy has improved since the change of government over the years. National change will always bring a shift in the direction of the nation's economy.
Change of governance and policy will make way for transformation and economic move towards a different direction.
Here I am not talking of changing the dominating political party but whatever shift in the governance will always provide necessary atmosphere for development. For example, when the two main political parties on Zimbabwe (MDC and ZANU PF) formed the unity government there has been a shift in the governance and policy. This shift can even be more when the new constitution becomes fully functional following an election.
Since the current government came into place, a significant measure of freedom was evident. Various sectors began to show signs of revival, roads, water, electricity, education and health just to mention a few. Farming began to show some potential, mining, banking sector, all began to revive.
It is therefore sensible to think and consider future investment in the Zimbabwean economy. It is now that ground can be initiated if any harvest is to be certain in the future.
Zimbabwe has a record of good economic performance and still has potential to rise up again.

ECONOMY WILL SOON BEAT ITS INFLATION FIGURES
Economic growth is an exercise that is usually unpredictable when the nation is bombarded with other factors like politics, international segregation and subortage. It is very difficult and almost impossible to predict the up turn of an economy when there is not a stable government and no actual industrial develoment of any form.
Having said that, Zimbabwe is one nation that has moved from significantly from the state of being domant to slightly show signs and symptoms of revival. I therfore agree with Nigel Chanakira (Chair of the Zimbabwe Investment Authority, ZIA) who was reported as saying that Zimbabwe economy will soon revive itself especially after the elections.
It seems to me that msot investors are simply waiting for the elections and I am sure it does not really matter who wins. I foresee a significant influx of foreign investors coming to make their base in Zimbabwe as soon as the elections are over.
I also want to believe that Zimbabweans in diaspora are waiting for that small move of the political devide. As soon as the national elections are done many of the Zimbabwean descent will flood back to the motherland to re-establish themselves in all areas of development.
I will also say that this antion will immediately see a huge jump in terms of expertise because most of the migrants in various countries have been busy not only creating money but increasing their skills and qualifications.
Those who are still skeptical about Zimbabwe's economic growth, you need to watch this space. In five years time Zimbabwe will leap into the fast growing economy not only in the region but in the world.
It is therefore worth noting that anybody looking for a long term investiment would rather not wait but start now to gulvanise themselves towards basing their business in Zimbabwe.
Yes, things may for a time be shaky and unstable due to natural transition in the powers and control systems but all will soon be stable for a brighter future.
One of the challenges to development will corruption which has been born out of the chaotic lawless behaviour of some individuals who have inspired the young generation to act like wise. These have left school but survived on handouts from the paowers above them.
But I foresee this challenge being dealt with when the anticorruption commission gets into full service with support of the police service and the impartial judicial service.
Investors, be ready and know that it is time to consider the new Zimbabwe despite who wins the coming elections. As already said challenges will arise but there is hope for Zimbabwe than any other upcoming nation.
