New additions to the Tigere Property Fund:
Tigere is adding three income-generating properties for US$57.67 million.
The properties are Design Quarter in Highlands, Cardinals Corner along Harare Drive, and Kadoma Retail Phase 1.
The transaction will almost double Tigere’s portfolio from US$60 million to US$116.5 million.
Investors in the ZSE-listed fund will benefit from higher income and improved returns.
Tigere already holds Highland Park, Chinamano Corner, Greenfields, and the ZimRe Park Drive-Thru. More properties, which are under development, are headed into the fund.
Zimbabwe’s listed REIT market is expanding, with four listed funds and a combined market capitalisation of US$228 million.

On a serious note; youngsters out there,have you heeded my call to consider going the polytechnic and apprenticeship route? I know I sound like a stuck record,but…. Some degrees ,and I emphasise SOME,so don’t @ me with your excuses, will render you jobless upon graduation. Choose your career path wisely.
A trade will take you to places you never imagined.

Why are companies delisting? Does Zimbabwe need three stock exchanges? Can ordinary Zimbabweans build wealth through these markets?
This Monday on Business With Trevor, I sit down with Justin Bgoni, Group CEO of ZSE Holdings, to explore what our capital markets are delivering for businesses and ordinary people.
We discuss access to funding, protection for small investors and rebuilding trust among people who have seen their savings disappear.
📺 Monday, 9 November, at 7am CAT.

The delegates have spoken.
116 in the room at Troutbeck. 23 more online, from Houston to Harare. Almost double last year.
"I was blown over by the diversity of new ideas... A must attend event every year!"
Joe Mutizwa, retired Delta CEO.
"The 2026 Ideas Festival was more than just a conference... It kept the hope alive that together we can build a better Zimbabwe."
Never Ncube, CEO, Dandemutande
"Why should you attend next year? Because you leave with more than motivation. You get practical frameworks from people who have built, lost and rebuilt. You get pushed to ask the missing question in your own room."
Lorraine Chakuchichi-Nyahwa, Dandemutande
Our overall pitch winner, Hekhani Seeds, left with US$8,000. Delegates reached into their own pockets for another US$5,500 towards the prizes.
Founders, bring the business. Funders, bring the cheque.
You are invited to the Ideas Festival 2027. If the testimonials from the Ideas Festival 2026 delegates will not persuade you the video below might help.

Huayou's Arcadia operation generated US$190m from lithium sulphate exports in six months. The milestone highlights Zimbabwe's beneficiation progress—and renews questions about domestic PGM refining.

At 14, I was close to being expelled. Most of my teachers had given up on me. My mum never did.
She bought me this book.
Years later, I showed that photo to the man who wrote it, on his own island 🏝️
Screw It, Let’s Do It by Richard Branson was the first book I ever read cover to cover. He struggled at school with dyslexia too, and still went on to build an empire. If he could, maybe I could.
So I spent £30,000 to stay on Necker Island, with no guarantee he’d even speak to me.
He did. And when I showed him that photo of me at 14, he was genuinely touched and asked for a picture to capture the moment.
He said well done on the business. But what moved him most was hearing about the hospital ward we built in Uganda. His lesson to me: the goal was never the money. It’s the impact.
To every kid struggling at school right now, your report card doesn’t write your ending.
Mum, this one’s for you ❤️

“The most expensive money is the wrong money.”
At the 5th Edition of Ideas Festival, Tino Kambasha, CEO of the National Venture Capital Company (NVCC), highlights why businesses need capital that fits their stage — funding that aligns with their growth, needs and capacity to deliver returns.

Nick Vingirai received a spontaneous standing ovation after his "Built, Lost, Rebuilt" presentation at the Ideas Festival.
He told us how he built a business, lost it, and is rebuilding again. No polish. No spin. Just the truth of it.
They teach you to build but not to bleed.
Resilience is tears that keep praying.
Belief is not denial but it is defiance.
Patience is working while you wait.
When you rebuild, you rebuild with the memory of the pain. Rebuilding will make you weep and shout at the same time.
It takes more courage to tell the story of a loss than the story of a win. Thank you, Nick.

RBZ Deputy Governor Dr. Innocent Matshe states that no bona fide invoice requiring foreign currency remains uncovered, noting the forex market is now freely allocating resources with the RBZ only intervening as a residual buyer to cover deficits.
Hear! Hear! Hear – at Harare, Zimbabwe
Diseases like HIV, Diabetes, Hypertension(BP) etc are long term diseases, medication is taken for life.
If you take it religiously, same time everyday soon the disease will be under control. In the case of HIV, for example, that's when we say "viral load undetectable" it means HIV under control.
Remember, what made you to put the disease under control was the medication so if you stop or reduce taking the medication because you now feel fine and your readings are now normal or for other reasons, you are going back to "square one" and by the time you want to bring back the disease under control complications could have utilized the opportunity to settle in.
By putting the disease under control, it doesn't mean the HIV or Diabetes or BP has been cured, it just means you are taking your medication very well, managing the disease very well, continue doing well.
