    Victor you are just speaking to one of my frustrations l have had and l really feel very uncomfortable with it. Opening a bank account here is just an unnecessary complicated process. This thing of proof of residence is a nightmare.
    Thank you for the innovations you are bringing this is brilliant for extreme efficiency.
    Mr Sharpe, you are a legend. The Phoenix Podcast is a beautiful platform to hear stories of these game changers that are not known by many.

    Thank you Ken for this podcast. So insightful. Victor, you are doing great. This is what i have been looking for. I am an upcoming entrepreneur (IT Support Specialist) trying to set up an Innovation Hub (to train disadvantaged kids, youths & women Basic Computer Literacy Skills). How best can i go about this passion of mine? In Zimbabwe, unfortunately for you to get either assistance / donations , you need to know someone who knows someone for your dream to become a reality.

    Powerful conversation here, I really loved the point Victor mentioned about how Zimbabwe gave away an opportunity to South Africa in 2017 and how the banking sector is so rigid. Investors nolonger invest in Gvt bonds and the likes but they chase innovation scales. I look forward to more content. Kudos.
