Businesses
in Zimbabwe are channeling their efforts to regional partnerships. These partnerships enable businesses to fill
in the gaps, through offering each other advice and interaction across borders.
The
recent two day Zimbabwe-South Africa trade and investment business forum proved
to be a success. This forum and other
such fora enhance business growth, by allaying fears of doing business across
borders. Zimbabwean business in the
light of economic sanctions bedeviling the country can look elsewhere rather
than lean on developed countries for economic support.
In
this globalised world with markets in different countries influencing each
other, it is necessary that economic ties be promoted. The recent move of indigenisations has seen
South African Implats index on the Johannesburg stock exchange plummet. Therefore there is need to harness business
contributions by businesses from regional countries to reduce the implications
of exercises like indigenisation and increase employment for the indigenous
people in the region.
Yes, while it is very necessary that Zimbabwe develop links with other countries to boost its economy and trade links, it should however revert from the dependency syndrome as this gives a leeway to the illegal and opaque expropriaton of its resources by these so called "economic messiahs".
