Zimbabwe urged to tap into Diaspora

Confederation of Zimbabwean Industries (CZI) president, Busisa Moyo, has urged the government to craft a comprehensive Diaspora policy and improve relations with its citizens in the Diaspora to entice them to invest back home.

Moyo said the future of the country lies in "leveraging our largest province, the Diaspora, to invest or lead investment as opposed to consumption".

Moyo said Zimbabweans working in most South African hotels work under inhumane conditions.

Principal director in the Office of the President and Cabinet, Mary Mubi, told the meeting that the country had a functional Diaspora policy.

Botswana-based Zimbabwean businessman, Arnold Moyo said the government needed to improve its relations with its citizens in the Diaspora.
