Regularisation of Licences
•Government has removed eleven (11) Licence requirements by consolidating all Local •Authority fragmented licences into one unitary licence. This eases business for single shops with various business lines such as bakery, butchery, restaurant and takeaway, food factory etc. Previously, food factory licences were being charged as much as $2 300
•Bottle Store Licences have been removed for bottle stores that are part of a retail shop, if the shop has a valid licence.
•Shops doing both retail and wholesale business will now get one licence for both.
Factory and retail licences have been combined into one licence for integrated businesses under one premise to reduce regulatory and compliance costs for business.
•Licence requirements for supermarkets by ZTA have been scrapped from retail shops to tourist designated businesses.
•Hotel, Lodges and other Tourism business licence fees have been reviewed downwards by 50% under the Review of the Tourism and Transport sectors and further capped to a maximum of $500 per business.
Change of Property Use fee has been capped at $1000 from as high as $3500 by some
Local Authorities.
•Effluent waste management costs have been reduced from USD$575 to USD$200 annually as businesses already incur costs of emptying septic tanks.
•PRAZ licence fees have been combined across categories into one licence costing between $50-$120, allowing the use of 
one licence by all branches of a business line.
•The Liquor Licencing Board has compressed all Liquor Licence Permits regardless of the location of business, whether in the City, Municipality, Town or RDC.
•The Local Authority Financial Services Licence will now be issued as a single annual Licence by the RBZ covering all business activities in the shop,
for a flat fee of $20 from as much as $1 867.
•The Permit to Sale Veterinary Products by the Medical Control Authority of Zimbabwe
(MCAZ) has been scrapped because it duplicates and overlaps with the Department of Veterinary Services function.
•These measures are meant to aid in the creation of a conducive economic environment where jobs will be created, productivity improved across all sectors

When the 1st MDC split happened in 2005, we were left despondent. We were hopeless. There was no leadership. We were young and ready for change but no one was stepping up. The 4 of us met at Jazz 105 for what became a watershed meeting. Those present were Mavuma, Chibango, Mahohoma and I. Justice Mavedzenge was an "active" observer. We formed Zimbabwe Youth Movement.

Our first declaration was that we were a Pan-African Movement. We went on a recruitment drive, we ended up with a top leadership that included Cde Danso, Paddy Matekwe, Zindove, Sendisa Sandura, Evernice etc

We started to occupy the space that had been vacated by the political movements. We had radical positions that were a mixture of ideologies. In fact our first strategic meeting we invited Munyaradzi Gwisai from ISO and Lucy Mazingi. We met with Margaret Dongo & a number of folks we felt had ideological wisdom. Eventually we came up with our own ideological position we called ZIMISM.

We believed change could only come through confronting the regime. We privately wrote to Mwanawasa who was SADC chair then & I believe he shared the letter with Mugabe. We published a version of the letter some time later after we started getting the heat from the state.

Things came to a head when we were the only organization from Zimbabwe to be invited to the European Union-Africa Youth Summit in Lisbon which traditional included ZANU PF. The following day The Herald had us on the front page. We were accused of Treason and Insurrection. The hunt was on....

One of the things we emphasize when doing Citizens Initiative projects is that they are non-political & non-partisan. The communities understand that. They want better education for their children. That is all they care about. Let's doit for the children! https://t.co/hPjOH15AxS

When we were in our early 20s, we sat down and decided to chart an ideological path for ourselves. We came up with what we called ZIMISM which is articulated in the ZIMIST MANIFESTO. There were 5 principles. While this was 20yrs ago, it may still be helpful today.
