The oddest part about being a Zimbabwean millennial is that for your own benefit you grew up having to look beyond Zimbabwe to achieve any form of a normal livelihood. This is still largely a present and painful reality, families remain scattered across the world, torn apart by circumstances that merely happened to them. Despite that which we had no control or say over, I’m happy to say in our post-Mugabe dispensation, I can see Zimbabwe through a different lens — contentious point at varying degrees depending on who you talk to. But what is crucial if anything is where Zimbabweans once had to look elsewhere for a secure future, today I look at Zimbabwe and how it can secure a sustainable future that closes a chapter to its past.

While I can point to a desperate need to end the many aliments plaguing Zimbabwe including; an end to the cash crisis, decrease in unemployment, stable price indices, infrastructural upgrades and their surrounding services, improved social welfare programs and growth in enterprise. I believe one of the key strands current and future governments should focus on is a establishing a digital strategy.
