At Cabanga Media Group, we do not just report on African economies-we are deeply committed to their success. As publishers of progressive business and economic commentary across the continent, our role is not simply to reflect the state of African markets, but to challenge the forces that suppress their growth.
Our key publications in South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Egypt, Ghana, and Nigeria, also including the troubled Zimbabwe – the breadbasket of Africa, needing a progressive push to immediately unlock itself from being a basket case, to become the actual breadbasket of Africa.
Today, we raise our collective voice-not through one magazine, but through every platform and publication under the Cabanga name-because it is no longer responsible to stay quiet.
We believe that there is no real business to write about, and no thriving economy to celebrate, where democratic governance does not exist. Without political freedom, economic freedom is an illusion. And in too many corners of our continent, especially Zimbabwe, that illusion continues to starve potential.
Zimbabwe: The Breadbasket That Can’t Feed Its Own Growth
Zimbabwe is rich. Rich in land, minerals, intellect, and ambition. It has been called the breadbasket of Africa, and rightfully so. Yet, it remains a country where the very seeds of prosperity are being trampled under the weight of poor governance, limited freedom, and unequal access to opportunity.
We cannot talk about agriculture, mining, innovation, or entrepreneurship in Zimbabwe without confronting the elephant in the room: the country is not being democratically governed. And because of that, no matter how fertile the soil or how educated the people, the economy remains a shadow of what it could be.
Who is a Zimbabwean, and why care?
With millions of its citizens wondering the wilderness of foreign lands like post-Solomonic Israelites, a socio-economic description of a Zimbabwean is like a cross between a Nigerian (mindset), South African (passion), Chinese (ingenuity), and British (etiquette). Zimbabweans are enterprising, opportunity hungry, and committed people, with over 5 million adults who have been pushed into entrepreneurship by necessity not choice. Like Sniffy and Scurry, they are not afraid to find new cheese in the maze.
That to you, the business owner in Africa, means potential partners for tapping into the US$800 Billion worth of natural resources and land in Zimbabwe, to not only grow your personal wealth, but take back home or invest elsewhere without leaving the continent.
What’s Blocking the consistent Rise of Zimbabwe?
Let’s name the real issues. It’s due to:
– Concentrated political power that suppresses innovation.
– Mismanaged public resources and a lack of financial transparency.
– Restricted access to capital for ordinary business owners.
– Undervalued skills development and blocked entrepreneurial ecosystems.
– Failure to deliver basic necessities like health, education, affordable food, and welfare-that enable economic participation
These are not abstract problems. These are real obstacles standing between Zimbabweans and their right to build wealth, dignity, and legacy. Zimbabwe’s economic stagnation is not due to lack of effort or ideas. Zimbabweans are the epitome of brilliance in workmanship, at global levels. They need your help to cry out for the basket case season to end, so that the breadbasket season begins.
Why Cabanga Must Speak
As Cabanga Media Group, our credibility is rooted in truth. And the truth is this: we cannot pretend to champion African enterprise while ignoring the systemic rot that prevents enterprise from flourishing. There are millions of entrepreneurs and business owners in Zimbabwe that are depending on us to rally support for their growth, just as we do for every other African business owner elsewhere.
We have the reach. We have the voice. We must use both.
From South Africa to Ethiopia, from Botswana to Nigeria, we speak to businesspeople, professionals, innovators, and dreamers. And we know this: they want change. They want fairness. They want tangible economic freedom to build in Zimbabwe, and Africa.
So, we are choosing to speak up, not to fan political flames, but to advocate for the kind of stable governance that allows businesses to breathe and nations to grow. The Zimbabwean business owner’s wallet is choked, and needs to be freed.
A Call to Business Leaders: Let Us Rally Behind Reform in Zimbabwe
This is not a partisan message. This is a call to the economic backbone of Africa – its business leaders, investors, professionals, and builders-to say:
We must not normalize the abnormal.
We must not accept economic decay as the cost of silence.
We must rally behind change-not for politics, but for progress.
When business owners speak, when they act in unison, they can shift not just markets, but mandates. We invite all who believe in open markets, equal access, and responsible leadership to stand with us.
Cabanga Will Publish for Progress
We will continue to publish stories that matter, but we will also begin to push more boldly. We are not here to appease the status quo-we are here to inform, inspire, and ignite change.
Because when governance allows corruption to be normalised, economies suffer. And when economies suffer, there is no story worth publishing.
Breadbaskets Only Feed When Freed
Africa’s potential is not a future dream – it is a current reality, being blocked by outdated beliefs, systems and unchecked power. Zimbabwe can feed the continent, but only if it first liberates its own economic soul.
Cabanga Media Group is committed to seeing that future emerge – and to using every tool at our disposal to help shape it. Our Editorial Policy stands for progress, even for the Zimbabwean business owner.
