He is Zim-Asset

Why are you still waiting?

ZimAsset is beckoning to all and sundry.

Get a ride on the ZimAsset train

and give education the boost it so badly needs.

Creating a system of education

that accommodates every child

Crippled or able bodied

Rich or poor, black or white,

A system that brings education to life,

That relates to the child and

makes learning fun and enjoyable

As the nursery rhymes of my developing childhood.

He is ZimAsset

The Mbuya Nehanda and Sekuru Kaguvi

Of the 21st century

Here to save from economic crisis

And bring back the Zimbabwe promised in 1980.

A Zimbabwe with high level of

quality education and employment.

Giving a poverty stricken father a job

to send his children to school and feed the family.

A giant sent to stab around all the stumbling blocks in one’s way.

Inclusive and quality education is our heritage.

Which saved us from that bondage.

We never expected to receive such a package

Because our lives were out of mailage.

Eating cabbages instead of sausages.

Suddenly it transformed a cabin into a cottage.

Surely it is our soul and heritage.

This is my friend I trust the most

My very own personal savior

He is Zim-Asset
