“Resourceful” is the way Zimbabweans like to describe themselves. Inevitably, the conversation turns to how companies and individuals managed to survive during the years of hyper-inflation, the farm invasions, and now the threat of “indigenisation”. Many companies did fail – with some stuttering back into business – and many thousands of skilled people left the country. What remains is a core of toughened, committed and “resourceful” individuals and companies – just the people you want to do business with.
