Today’s influential young business and corporate leaders are the future of the economy and should be factored in the broader economic plan, says Institute of Corporate Directors Zimbabwe (ICDZ) acting executive director Dr Proctor Nyemba.
Dr Nyemba’s remarks come in the wake of the announcement of Zimbabwe’s top 40 influential leaders under 40.
“The Institute’s hope is for the Government to continue engaging young leaders as regards Vision 2030. Currently, there is a lot of talk of financial devolution; as ICDZ we are saying enterprises should be spread out across the country. That means, for instance, that young business leaders should have that support to expand their enterprises countrywide,” explained Dr Nyemba.

Zimbabwe’s implementation of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) will be guided by the Smart Zimbabwe 2030 masterplan initiated last year, Information Communication Technology, Postal and Courier Services Minister Jenfan Muswere has said.
4IR is the latest stage of the industrial revolution, which is technology-driven. In this regard, technological innovation is expected to lead to significant supply-side growth, with long-term gains in efficiency and productivity.
Minister Muswere said the Smart Zimbabwe strategy document, the country’s new ICT masterplan, will provide guidance regarding the specific innovations that Zimbabwe’s industries will utilise in the digital future.

Local Digital Content Should Be Inclusive
December 23, 2020
Digital content should also be available in local languages so that Zimbabweans can identify themselves in the global digital community, ICT, Courier Services Minister Jenfan Muswere has said.
He was speaking at the launch of a Community Information Centre (CIC) in Filabusi, Matabeleland South last week.
“Digital inclusion can only thrive where the community can identify themselves with the available digital content. Digital inclusion is therefore, dependant on the availability of content in local languages and dialects,” he said while officiating at the launch.
“I therefore cannot overemphasise the need for the development of local content if this CIC is to make the desired impact among the local communities. If properly developed and marketed such content can also create employment for the local communities.
