@citezw@DavidColtart Yikho sisalela emuva. Yebo uMz should be celebrated but mina ngibona angani kithi ngapha we overplay izinto ezingasithuthukisiyo siphinde sikhale sithi we are marginalized.
@Betterzim1@ZBCNewsonline@ReserveBankZIM Good you mentioned PnP, they have been closing branches in SA....I guess it's Zig!π€£π€£π€£
Supermarkets have been going bust in Zim since chakuti. As for OK, definitely mismanagement hence they were all fired and brought back retirees
@Betterzim1@ZBCNewsonline@ReserveBankZIM Business is not about emotion bro!
Ask yourself why OK CEO, CFO & Supply Chain Director were fired and former CEO Willard Zireva & other were recalled to stabilize OK. Are you saying they were recalled coz they are good at Zig?π€£π€£π€£
@beckythemba@HeraldZimbabwe Be optimistic for our country for a change. So far the momentum is with us as country.
Do you even know what this means for the average Zimbo in the long run?! What does it mean for civil servants for example?
@Betterzim1@ZBCNewsonline@ReserveBankZIM You clearly have no idea of what happened at Choppies...do your research.
OK problems are management driven.
No one lied to me coz I did my own research...poor management killed OK
@titirai2020@baba_nyenyedzi Civil servants don't understand that their income depends on economic growth. The bigger the economy,the bigger the tax base, the more their incomes rise
@Betterzim1@ZBCNewsonline@ReserveBankZIM Only OK and Bon Marche supermarkets closed. Zig transactions are hardly 30% of currency mix.
The retail sector including supermarkets, service stations, hardware, pharmacies is actually thriving...just research how many were opened 2025-6.
OK is down due to poor management
@JMafume@matigary@InfoMinZW@MoLGPWZim This is possible in our lifetime in Harare, from Kenneth Kaunda to J.Chinamano, 7th Ave. Even only using revenue from parking fees ...requires good vision and planning
@Betterzim1@ZBCNewsonline@ReserveBankZIM Your information is not factually correct. How many SPAR supermarkets opened in 2026 in Zim?...and do you know how their model varies from that ancient strategy of OK?
@FLYBYNI00399197@HeraldZimbabwe Plenty of clear evidence of mismanagement, poor strategy...what was the rational of Foodlovers in Avondale & Sam Levy in close proximity to Bon Marche.
Customer experience...OK Group till as compared to the speed and great experience of Foodlovers Greendale till experience?
@baba_nyenyedzi@c_ruduvo Well put @c_ruduvo, layman also sees other sectors growing, services, retailing...eg pvt health care, pharmacies, fuel distribution, hardware retailing, construction, etc ?
And then the treatment of diaspora remittances..why not viewed as payroll growth driving spending & growth?
@ChamhembeStorm@BusisaMoyo Well said, we are quick to blame govt, economic environment yet OK issues were mainly internal including mismanagement, "alleged cash burning" by management for thei own benefit.
@MavusanaKZN@BusisaMoyo It should be business mfo, you mismanage, it falls/collapses, don't blame govt.
Govt should just provide good policies that enable retailers to thrive and govt has done so recently, hence PnP Zim, SPAR, Foodlovers, Hardware Retailers like ElectroSales, Halsteds are rocking
@M_Jay94@chigodwe Well said on private medical care investments...that sector is booming and also driving growth but our learned economists will never talk about it or services driving growth, maybe too complex for them understand and measure?!
