2015, mother of all years!

THIS is it! Year 2015 is the year. This is the year that will change Zimbabwe’s financial and political landscape. Year 2015 kick starts a revolution in the financial and consumerism world in Zimbabwe.

This is the Alpha of the country in the quest to discover itself. The country has reached rock bottom and it’s now on its way up.

What you do today and this year will determine your latitude in life politically, financially, spiritually, physically, mentally, socially, morally and emotionally.

This is your year to strategically position yourself failure to which nothing will be left behind for you.

It’s a year when all is starting anew.

Why do we say that?

The West is coming to the party.

The East is there already – don’t forget Russia is on the table as we speak, regional countries are in already.

All Zimbabweans now want economic prosperity. There is a new co-existence order in Zimbabwe that is happening in 2015.

The new order is to do with Zimbabweans and their global counterparts and we are going to get value from our products including human capital.

When you see vultures circling you are sure there is dead carcass. By the same token relations are on the mend, some FDIs are coming through whatever means and mode.

The gates have opened up.

Zimbabwe is settling off its debts and so is RBZ. This year you will see lending rates coming off to lower levels.

There will be more financial literacy, a solid financial services sector is in the pipe line.

Ruling parties and opposition parties will think economy.

If these parties don’t do their homework this year then they should forget about running the country. This is the year to woo voters through economic performance.

The western side of the country will be the back bone of the economy starting with Victoria Falls, Kariba, and Hwange.

Economic projects in the areas will boost liquidity in the SMEs sector.

The Zambezi water project should be done this year or forever forget about it.

Mining and all sorts of infrastructural development is taking centre stage while change in leadership systems in both public and private spheres is noticeable.

This is the year for NRZ, CSC, Hwange Colliery and New Zimsteel.

If they don’t get revived this year we might as well shut them down and move on.

Community clubs won’t be spared either … Caps have led the way watch out for Bosso and DeMbare, they will have to shape up economically, never mind minor challenges that these clubs could experience along the way because it’s never smooth but once in motion it’s never easy to stop.

If you have land, use it wisely because you are lucky. If you have a company lay a solid foundation this year.

If you are in school then get good grades, if you are educated get another qualification in preparation for a boom.

If you are corrupt this would not be the place for you. If you are always negative about Zimbabwe then find another pastime.

If you doing well in your business prepare for growth and if you are struggling prepare for stabilisation.

Be part of the change in attitude that everyone is anticipating in 2015.

If you are alive give it your best shot and of course smile more often and be humble.

This is because you are a fertile ground for big things in Zimbabwe.

The time is now. We can feel the time is right for Zimbabwe to stand up and be counted and the year is 2015.

South Africa will slow down but watch out for Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia and Kenya.

Yes salaries will go down but efficiency will go up. Yes we will witness retrenchments but that is streamlining. Yes we will witness some companies folding but that is to recreate new business models.

Most cost drivers will go down this year chief among them utility bills and communications.

Rentals will be steady this year.

Do what you need do to make it this year. Learn if you have to. Strategically position yourself whether financial or economical because the tide has changed.

It’s now or never and that makes 2015 very critical.

Farmers have learnt their lessons, industry is adopting new models, financiers are coming and all they need are just good and willing people.

Spiritually if you don’t grow this year it might be difficult the years to come to get salvation. We see some prices going down even with the government services.

Now take up the opportunities on offer, don’t procrastinate as it is only available this year only if not already taken.

Take a position in your field. Don’t let people lie to you. Zimbabwe is ripe (and ready) for the taking otherwise next year and beyond there would not be any opportunities.

Mark our words. Our analysis will only be judged by year end 2016 as we look back to this strategic view.

The signs are there do the right thing, Zimbabwe is gaining momentum in its recovery and the opportunities are now when everyone else is still asleep and assets are still very cheap.

Zimbabwean Diaspora must now smell the coffee and get involved in one way or the other.

This sector needs to be told to invest now or foreigners will pour more money such that they won’t have a stake going forward and they will have themselves to blame.

The tough years from 2004-2013 have shaped us into world class human beings for 2015 and beyond.

The road isn’t easy though, you need to roll up the sleeves, look into the mirror and do what needs to be done starting this minute.
