IT is a fact that Zimbabwe is in a mess.
The fuel and basic commodities' prices are adjusted on a daily or weekly basis.
Inflation is at its all-time high in the post dollarisation era.
The healthcare system is virtually dead. Healthcare workers and other civil servants declared incapacitation last year.
Those who are entrusted with rescuing the economy are at sixes and sevens.
However, the private sector, should play ball. It should complement government efforts in reviving the economy.
The business community must take a leading role, bury differences, display maturity, play an advisory role and foster unity and growth in markets.
People need jobs, food on the table and broad-based empowerment plans.
The private sector must be active in local investment, power generation, commodity broking and production of goods for export and export substitution.
It must take the lead in critical sectors of the economy to revive our fortunes such as agriculture, mining, tourism, health and infrastructure development.
