Who is here after the sad news !!!!!!!
🤚🏾this is so sad!
What an interview. Doug did his part. Condolences to you and his family.
When you get to know about such a brilliant person only their after untimely passing..its unfortunate and saddening. MHSRIP
ı am back again after meeting DBF at Nyanza. the good part is both Doug and Donovan have been interviewed here. Thanks Trevor
l am still in shock but Trevor, thank you for bringing this "gem" on your show....this video will continue to resonate with me deeply. MHSRIP Mr Munatsi.
This is a very inspirational, visionary and hardworking man. I credit him with giving me my start in my career so many years ago as a graduate trainee with ABC Holdings.
Rest with angels Doug, a phenomenal man gone way too soon!
May his soul R.I.P, it was an honour and privilege knowing someone like him.
Condolences to the family and friends.
This interview just showed me how objectivity dies as some of these great men are appointed to senior positions
Enjoyed working for Mr Munatsi. He pushed me to be the best I can be. Very humble guy.
Rule of law is measured by how we treat our own journalists and opposition. How tolerant are we to each other? That's the barometer investors look at. True democracy is appreciating the beauty of diversity. We are one nation. One people.
Thank you, Trevor. This is really profound. You raise so many important issues that one day our nation will find helpful, hopefully, in our lifetime.The interview is both inspirational and deeply conversational...Through this conversation, we learn that Douglas Munatsi was an embodiment of humility. May his soul rest in peace.
The truth is Zimbabweans and the world at large are hungry for these promises and whilst you almost sold it to me that there's now "good will " you lost me when you failed to concede sufficiently what was said so eloquently by Melanie (British ambassador) but acutely felt by the very people you were able to acknowledge have been let down so badly by our older generation. The stench is real Douglas and this needs to be acknowledged fully in order that we move on with confidence
U took words out of my mouth.
Well, not only abt promises but Zimbabweans are exposed to good things they have seen in other countries thats why so much pressure for want to see good things happening in our country like now now.
Thank you Trevor. I cant wait to see Professor Amon Murwira
Sad we lost talent ,Thank you for your services Douglas Munatsi you were called to save and you played your part. May God comfort your family.
Valid points raised regarding currency volatility, property rights, appropriation and nationalization, depleted infrastructure and corruption. This has no feet to go anywhere without the fundamentals of good governance
Quite encouraging. Words of life.
Call to serve unfortunately does not go by the book that you have. Ask Nkosana Moyo. Or Mthuli Ncube.
I have watched this conversation 3 times. What a loss. May his soul rest in Peace.
Great interview and extremely inspiring . All the best Doug in bringing Zimbabwe back on the Investment map
Great interview.
Rest in peace Doug can't believe my model is no more.We will miss his powerful insights in business meetings Trevor.
Great interview rest in peace Doug
Thank you Trevor for introducing such an interesting show, im always looking for a new episode. When are you going to invite Vice President, President and Main opposition leader Mr Chamisa.
RIP Doug!!!
"You can't blame people for not knowing you"... 17:11
Oh so sorry😒 what a great loss for our nation Zimbabwe 😢😢may his soul rest in eternal peace 🙏🙏
Was a man of vision. May his soul rest in peace. Thank you Trevor for your work for us as audience.
Thanks Trevor and Douglas.
I believe part of you was genuine and had pure intentions towards the things you wanted to achieve through ZEDA unfortunately it is almost impossible to achieve all of that in this Country with ZPF at the helm...Go well Sir you did your Part.
All the best with ZIDA Mr Munatsi, you will do well.
May you rest with the Angels Tawanda thanks for your Contribution to National development hopefully your legacy will live on.
You play with the mnangagwa family, it will all end in tears… duggy waida kufumura chii about the first family
Very inspiring. Challenges are there. One of the days we will overcome.
Honestly the first time I heard about Doug and the fact that he worked for the government,I didn’t want to watch the interview because of the fact he put across that “us as young people,we believe that older folks let us down” by running down the economy,
But after watching the interview,I learnt that its one thing to complain and its a totally different ballgame to do the actual work.I respect him for what he has achieved and how he gave all the glory to God,because that is our duty as man.
Great progress being made at ZIDA. Very inspiring!
Another great and inspiring conversation. lt's always good to learn from the best. Thanks Trevor and Douglas for this discussion.
Amazing 😅 .... Insightful conversation !!!!!!
Trevor you are great person in my life , your epsodes motivates me always, kkk have a backlog of your conversations I will listern all them ,On a day I watch two ,one in the morning and other in the evening
"Correct me if I wrong"was waiting for this from trevor and I got it... very inspirational conversation but ne boys rezanu haaa muri pa tyt mdara Douglas, good luck
you are very correct, they will fight all his efforts
...and here we are.
He is dead 😢😢
Very impressive Doug. I have learnt a lot.
I am enjoying this conversation Mr. Ncube. I am going to watch it a second time.
We are waiting
Smashing conversation there Trevor. One of the best in my view. Love mostly the stories of these boys from humble beginnings making it to the top like this. One for the archives for me and my kids.
Its sad that a life was lost in a fire accident. Dougie's story is inspiring ,he ran his race!!
Great Interview , MHSRIP Doug was a great Entrepreneur
I had to come back to this interview. I am beyond shock
Great conversation
Please bring Shingai Mutasa,
waiting
Visionary man with good intentions. We have been robbed. SAD!!
Very inspirational story
The honest truth is ZIDA is trying to window dress or sugar coat the investment vehicle. The Zimbabwe investment vehicle requires a complete engine overhaul.
Great to see Doug who i respect as a leader in our banking industry. Respectfully though, i think he was off on the Chilonga issue. The community requested from govt to issue them with offer letters prior to the eviction to ensure that the promises of the irrigation scheme would be sincere. This is not happening. All this works to send wrong signals. On property rights we have a long way to go. Talk of companies like Ariston who had challenges nearly losing land under BIPPA few years ago
Very good Trevor for such a wonderful interview as usual i get inspired, Doug you are doing all you can to try bring our country back on investment track. It is a very welcome move but you must work with both eyes open otherwise you are up for a big disappointment.
I see
RIP Doug, So sad indeed. Am still in shock.
Doug became a Zanu PF spin doctor when he responded to the Chilonga issue as well as the issues raised by the British Ambassador. I believe there are also some embellishments on his portfolio such as oil and gas investments. Trevor should have asked for more details.
Nice interview
Perception is everything, I am glad Doug from private sector is now part of Gvt so that it helps clearing some muddy issues
Number 1 lesson...siyananai neZanu never get involved nevarume vaya ..
Still I applaud you for rolling up your sleeves. I would support you in a heart beat
I was enjoying this conversation until he was asked about the British ambassador’s comments,especially on corruption...they start to mumble whenever these government employees are needed to be honest.Let’s accept there’s corruption within the government and mainly ZANU PF...then we can move on.
I felt the same as well, he just became a politician by dodging the reality that there were farm invasions in the last 3 years, there are still issues now, even the Chilonga issue.
a very insightful interview with uncomfortable discussions as well especially that "Melanie Robinson'' part is like a yorker ball for Doug.
Rest in peace mr munetsi
We should be careful on money disposal , if you're not spending to earn or get back money, then stop spending.
at 35:00 Mr Munatsi that was not honest but when you mentioned second dispensation everything became clear
May His Soul Rest In Peace
Very good interview, I really enjoyed it. I liked the bit you played on what the Ambassador said, and I also echo the same sentiments. Even for us who are Zimbabweans but live in the diaspora, you can't help but wonder how your investment is protected and also how you then convert your money back and get it where you want. I felt that question was not addressed. If an investor comes and invest, considering the laws back then, you couldn't take forex out of Zim, what assurance is there now that they will get their money without hussles? Can I invest, and be able to take back my money. It wasn't very clear. I felt property rights was quite vague and am not sure it quite addresses the issue of liquidity. How will that work?
I guess these foreign investors are just like the sugar daddies...they’re sweet when they want something and rough when they’re done with you...let that be a lesson.
Did you mean to say that all foreign invetsors are like ZANU, instead? That's so powerful.
For a man whose job it is to manage perceptions... it seems to me that he treats negative perceptions as a trivial matter. Surely this is problematic.
MHRIP, I've only just watched this after hearing of his death, yes, he rather prevaricated with his answers to the British High Commissioner's allegations. Zanu PF's egregious tentacles seem to be overarching in ways that are antithetical to ZIDA's ethos. I believe he might have tried to correct this and paid with his life. Very very sad.
Shoe Dog is a great read
I think the British Ambassador questions/issues need to be addressed by Doug. I think they are critical.
Rest in Power King
Gone too soon. So sad. Such brains! RIP Doug
May his soul rest in peace baba Musa same street in Mufakose u killed by idiots may his soul continue to rest in peace😭😭😭Muduso
Rest in eternal peas Dougie rest with angels you fought a good fight.
And now they killed him! Unbelievable really. Unbelievable.
Shouldn’t that be a lesson that foreign investors will just use one to get what they want and especially in Africa?They lured you and made you believe there is great coming from these investors,but actually they wanted to make as much money as they can,then leave...typical style by the former colonisers and we should have learnt by now.
It's always sad to lose a relatively young man with more to accomplish. I however feel that his involvement in the Chilonga situation leaves a stain on some of his outstanding achievements. It's noteworthy that Munatsi didn't use this golden platform to debunk what he purported to be false information about the Chilonga circus. Thus, some of us still have a lot of questions about what was the whole issue about the Chilonga debacle. That being said, one hopes that his family is coping well with this tragic.
We are invested in oil and gas!
To be precise is it not the case that progressive thinking moves out of fossil fuel...what Zimbabwean has any respect for a monopoly that has drained the life blood of our country..do we know the fuel remittance being made by friends of the ZNA on our behalf.
Solar power to the people!
Inspirational.
No wonder why the guy is dead. We were subbotaged as a country. He was genuine
The post is mislabeled Trevor...Its Zimbabwe Investment Development Agency not Zimbabwe Investment & Developing Agency.
You are wrong
Rest easy DTM
REST IN PEACE DOUG. ZIMBABWE IS POORER!!
Rest In Peace...
One thing that gets me exicited at the end of each show is that everyone being interviewed has an attitude of reading books, I am lazy to read books but now I'm being forced to read books so that one day i will be great and also being interviewed on the platform but my question where do I start to read ,which exactly the book
I am exactly your opposite :). Depends on what you enjoy reading - fiction, business, philosophy, human rights etc.
@@ROGUE406 business and leadership
@@oliverchipoyera There are many, many very good ones. I think it is better to start with really good ones that may be old but are easy to read, practical and engaging at personal and professional levels. My recommendations, in no particular order, are:
1) The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey
2) Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
3) How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
4) Outliers by Michael Gladwell
5) Why Nations Fail by Amecoglu and Robinson
6) The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
7) Dead Aid by Dambisa Moyo
8) The Art of War by Sun Tzu (this one must be available free online)
9) Good to Great by Jim Collins
10) Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done by Bossidy and Charan
Look for free audiobooks on CZcams. Whet your appetite with little effort. 👍🏾
@@ROGUE406 Good list that.
RIP Doug!
The examples that Mr Munatsi is giving are anecdotal, I mean this is still dodging the reality, you talk of external investors who at times are not honest as they repatriate the money back and evade taxes etc how then would you expect them to say there are no opportunities of course there is because they benefit more
R.I.P
I think the British lady should have given specific examples of those instances
Saka with all those brilliant financial business minds why is the kandri in this state nhai?
With the level of corruption in our country hazvishande we should deal with corruption before anything else
What happened with the Indigenous law that scared most investors by taking 51% stake without contributions,explain that.
Haaa Trevor? But this is not a new Potfolio. Nick Ncube before going to RBZ he was the Director of the Zim Investment Centre, not so?
I don't know hey. I am still not sold. You guys keep on talk about the new dispensation. What does that even mean??
RIP
Very disappointing interview. Zida is a failure. Douglas u need to acknowledge challenges like rule of law rather than talking like Zanu PF politicians. British ambassador summarised it for u. Property rights Douglas nxa. Very ignorant. AS we speak pple in Melfort are now homeless coz of land barons, no rule of law and corruption. U are failing to market Zida yet u a talking about lack of facts on property rights. No wonder u were hand picked by Mnangagwa
Unfortunately he didn’t know that a crocodile eats even its own.
RIP cde
Zororai murugare muko.a Dhagi.
Why did this Mnangagwa government kill him? What threat was he to them??
This guy is very good I just don't think he has the right support structure.
