Telecommunications mogul, Econet boss Strive Masiyiwa and a host of international renowned business-people are being courted to vie for the country's presidency in 2018.
Banker Mthuli Ncube, former Industry minister Nkosana Moyo and James Makamba are some of the people who are being approached, legislator Temba Mliswa has said.
On Tuesday, Mliswa announced the formation of independents under the banner Third Force.
"The Third Force is coming in as a result of people's lack of confidence in political parties, who they feel have let them down.
"Youths are not being afforded their commensurate space in the party structures and feel marginalised despite their huge demographic," he told reporters.
"We are looking at an outsider, who can lead, such as established business-people like Mthuli Ncube, Nkosana Moyo and James Makamba.
"We are also talking to Diasporans, who are proven like former banker, James Mushore or even the reluctant Strive Masiyiwa" he added.
