Entrepreneurship in Zimbabwe
Entrepreneurship are innovators who take it upon themselves to fill in any gap or opportunity that they see or feel that it is not being satisfied by other leading firms in the market.

Their need for high achievement and motive to excel leads them to expand continually serving the market profitably.
