The Price of Trust
When Familiar Faith Becomes Financial Risk
In Zimbabwe’s evolving investment landscape, trust is both our greatest strength and our biggest risk.
Every day, small acts of trust keep the economy moving from the kombi ride to the corner grocery. You hand over a US $1 note; the conductor gives you ZiG change without counting. You don’t check. Tomorrow, you’ll use the same notes for another ride. It’s an unspoken system built on habit and familiarity and it works because we’ve all kept our side of the bargain.
But as Zimnat Asset Management we believe the same reflex that keeps our streets running can quietly undo us when the stakes are financial. True prosperity demands that the same confidence we show in daily life be matched by verification when our money is at work
When Everyday Trust Becomes Costly
Post-COVID, many people found themselves rebuilding from scratch.
Side hustles multiplied. Savings circles grew. WhatsApp groups became the new financial frontier. The intention was honest to make money work harder. But some of these ventures traded on our instincts to believe the familiar.
The neighbour who once sold groceries now “trades forex.” A friend invites you to a “short-term investment club.” Someone shares screenshots of payouts that look convincing enough.
And just like that, trust becomes currency until it costs us.
Fast Returns Are the First Red Flag
Real investments take time because they’re bound by process audited, regulated, and reviewed. There’s paperwork, oversight, and sometimes delays. That’s what makes them safe.
Scams, on the other hand, rely on speed. They want you to act before you think.
They promise “guaranteed” returns, create fear of missing out, and flash early-bird success stories to draw you in.
If profits appear faster than they can logically grow, that’s not efficiency, it’s engineering.
Five Simple Checks That Protect You
- Confirm the licence. Always verify with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Zimbabwe (SECZ) or relevant regulator.
- Interrogate the returns. If the numbers look too good, they probably are.
- Watch the structure. If earnings depend on recruiting others, it’s a pyramid scheme.
- Insist on documentation. Legitimate investments leave a paper trail, not just a chat thread.
- Know the law. The Environmental Management Agency (EMA) has banned unregulated alluvial mining sponsorships. “Helping miners” can expose you to penalties, not profits.
Why Trust Needs Boundaries
Trust is a social strength; it keeps communities alive. But in finance, trust without verification becomes vulnerability.
It’s not cynicism to ask questions; it’s stewardship.
Responsible investors don’t assume; they confirm.
The same confidence that lets us pass a kombi conductor change without counting should be matched by discipline when the stakes are higher.
Accountability Is the New Confidence
Safe investing isn’t fast, but it’s firm.
It means your money is managed by licensed professionals, held by custodians, and governed by transparent reporting. It’s the kind of system that lets you sleep at night and plan years ahead.
That’s what genuine prosperity looks like not luck, not shortcuts, but structure.
Trust is one of Zimbabwe’s most valuable currencies. We live by it, trade through it, and rebuild with it.
But when it comes to investing, trust should never travel alone. Pair it with verification, and your faith becomes protection.
Because in finance, the price of blind trust is always higher than the promise of fast returns.

She Vanished with $4,250, And the WhatsApp Group Went Dead Silent
The Day the WhatsApp Group Went Quiet
It started with a voice note.
"Guys, I think Mai Tadiwa has blocked me."
Then silence.
It was a Friday.
The group chat was supposed to light up with fire emojis and “Mari yapinda!” messages. For three months, the group had been buzzing. A savings club of 17 women, pooling money every Friday. It was Chipo’s turn to receive the payout $250 from each of the 17 women in the WhatsApp savings club. She had already told her landlord she’d pay rent that afternoon.
But the treasurer, Mai Tadiwa, didn’t send the money.
She didn’t reply to messages.
She didn’t answer calls.
No one saw it coming. But everyone felt it.
By Sunday, her WhatsApp profile photo was gone. Her number was unreachable. And the group chat, once filled with laughter, prayer requests, and daily hustle updates went dead silent.
The group had started innocently. A few women from the same church, some from the same kombi route, others who met at the market. They called it “Sisterhood Savings.” No constitution. No receipts. Just trust.
Each week, they had contributed. Each week, someone got their payout. Until Mai Tadiwa held the pot!
She held it for three weeks.
Then she vanished.
Chipo borrowed money to pay rent. Rumbidzai, who had planned to buy stock for her tuckshop, had to cancel her order. One woman cried in the group chat. Another cursed. A few left the group.
But most stayed. Not because they believed Mai Tadiwa would return. But because they didn’t know what else to do.
This isn’t just one group. It’s thousands.
Across Zimbabwe, informal savings clubs maround, stokvels, WhatsApp mukando are the backbone of community finance. They’re built on trust, speed, and the belief that “we know each other.”
But when they collapse, there’s no regulator. No insurance. No refund.
Just silence.
The Safer Way Forward
Zimbabwe has institutions designed to protect your money:
- IPEC ensures your insurance policy pays out when life hits hard.
- DPC guarantees your bank savings, even if the bank folds.
- SECZim regulates investments so your money doesn’t vanish into a pyramid.
These aren’t just acronyms. They’re shields. They’re the difference between a setback and a collapse.
After the group loss, some members stopped saving altogether. Others joined new rounds, hoping for better luck. But Chipo did something different.
She walked into a Zimnat branch.
She asked questions. She opened a Unit Trust account. She bought a funeral policy. She started saving not just with hope, but with structure.
“I still believe in people,” said one. “But now I also believe in systems.”
If you’re in a savings group, ask: Is it registered? Is it protected? Is there a paper trail?
Because when the money disappears, screenshots won’t save you.
If you’re saving money, planning for your kids, investing in your hustle, do it with protection. Do it with receipts. Do it with regulators who answer when things go wrong. Because the day the WhatsApp group goes quiet, you’ll want more than trust. You’ll want a trail.
Money Isn’t the Problem. You Are
How Zimbabweans Can Take Control of Invisible Spending
You wake up on a Monday morning. Payday just hit. You feel rich. You buy airtime, grab a taxi, and treat yourself to lunch. By Wednesday, your account is whispering, “Who?”
The truth is: your money isn’t gone because you’re careless. It’s vanishing quietly, in plain sight, while you scroll, laugh, or say “just this once.” That $0.50 drink? Freedom leaking. The $5 taxi ride? Dreams evaporating. That casual “I’ll sort you this month”? Your future is quietly giving up its seat.
The Invisible Drain
Most money leaks are invisible. You think your salary is gone to bills, but it’s the “small sins” you never track: daily indulgences, autopay subscriptions, favors to friends. Every unexamined choice chips away at control, slowly scripting your financial story.
Here’s the kicker: money isn’t being stolen, it’s doing exactly what you’ve trained it to do, disappear!
The Habits You Don’t See
Zimbabweans navigate a unique financial landscape. Informal lending circles, merry-go-rounds, and ad-hoc support networks dominate everyday life. They provide short-term relief but long-term control? Not so much. According to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe 2023 Financial Literacy Report, despite high academic literacy, most Zimbabweans lack practical financial awareness. Many never see the invisible leaks until it’s too late.
Shift Your Mindset, Without Feeling Like You’re Budgeting
Forget lectures. Forget lists. Start tiny:
-
Notice one invisible stream this week. Just see where it flows.
-
Ask the silent question: Does this spend serve tomorrow or just soothe today?
-
Pause before your next automatic spend. Two seconds of awareness rewires behavior.
Small attention compounds. Slowly, the river of your money stops flooding the wrong fields.
Investment Is Invisible, And Powerful
Investment isn’t a product. It’s a mindset. Awareness is the first step. Every tiny habit you notice, every invisible stream you redirect, becomes an option for tomorrow. Real options. Freedom. Choice. You already have the tools. Awareness, courage, curiosity. Each tiny change multiplies silently into possibilities most people never see coming.
Rewriting Your Story
Being broke isn’t destiny. It’s a chapter and chapters can be rewritten.
Your money has been running your life without permission. But once you see the patterns, the invisible streams, the quiet leaks…you’re no longer a victim. You’re the author of your currency of hope. Awareness isn’t judgment. It’s control. Pause. Notice. Choose. Slowly, deliberately, consciously.
Because hope isn’t a feeling. It’s behavior. And behavior is the richest currency you can carry.
Let's Walk With You
You’ve seen the leaks. You’ve felt the quiet drain. You’ve paused long enough to notice, and that’s the beginning of power.
But awareness alone isn’t enough. You need a partner. A guide. A system that doesn’t just hold your money but helps it grow, protect, and serve your future.
Zimnat Asset Management isn’t just about investments. We’re about intentional living. We help you turn invisible habits into visible progress. Whether you're starting small or planning big, we walk with you—step by step, stream by stream—towards a future designed with purpose.
Ready to rewrite your financial story?
Let’s turn your currency of hope into a portfolio of possibilities.

Because your future deserves more than survival. It deserves strategy. It deserves Zimnat.
Six Feet Under, But Covered All Over
Why Life Assurance is more than just a payout:
by
Sharon Bhunu
When many Zimbabweans hear "life assurance," their minds jump to a funeral tent in the rural homestead, sad music playing softly in the background, and cousins you last saw at your aunt's lobola/ roora ceremony.
But life assurance is not just about death; it’s about dignity, preparation, and protecting your family’s future.
In a country like Zimbabwe, where economic shifts are constant and the unexpected is part of daily life, life assurance is one of the smartest long-term financial decisions you can make. It’s not just a safety net, it’s peace of mind wrapped in a plan. Whether you’re planning to buy property, educate your children, or retire comfortably, life assurance helps you protect, grow, and transfer your wealth. In this article, we’ll show you exactly how life assurance fits into your long-term financial strategy and why it might be the most underrated investment you’ll ever make.
1. To protect the people you love most
Whether you’re the breadwinner, a single mum juggling it all, or the gogo who keeps things running at home, your family leans on your support, your income, your love.
Life assurance steps in when life takes an unexpected turn. It’s how you make sure your family continues to stand tall, even when you’re no longer there to provide.
✅ Keeps food on the table, school fees paid, and the lights on
✅ Settles debts like car loans or home mortgages
✅ Protects your children’s lifestyle and dreams from being cut short
This isn’t just cover. It’s a continuation of your care.
2. To handle funeral expenses with dignity
Funerals are often expensive and immediate. Without a plan, families are often left scrambling: borrowing money, setting up GoFundMe pages, or making painful compromises at an already difficult time.
That’s why life assurance matters. It gives your loved ones the means and the dignity to say goodbye properly.
With the Zimnat Gadziriro Funeral Cash Plan, you can ensure that when the time comes, your family won’t be burdened; they’ll be prepared.
💛 Cover that brings peace of mind
💛 Support that honours your life and legacy
💛 Plans that suit every budget
Get a quote today: Gadziriro/Lungiselelo Funeral Cashplan
3. To build generational wealth
Think life assurance is only a safety net? Think again. It’s also one of the smartest ways to create generational wealth.
Your life assurance (Security Plan) payout can:
- Help your children start a business or buy a home.
- Fund university education for grandchildren.
- Break the cycle of poverty in your family line.
4. To supplement your retirement plan
Most Zimbabweans don’t have formal pensions, and those who do often find them insufficient. Life assurance plans like the Tsapi Personal Pension Plan and whole life policies can include a savings or investment portion that you can access later in life.
Think of it as:
- A personal backup pension
- A way to retire with financial freedom
- Emergency funds for your golden years
5. To prepare for Life’s curveballs
Life can change in the blink of an eye. A sudden illness, retrenchment, or accident can turn your world and your wallet upside down. That’s why some life assurance policies go beyond the funeral. With built-in critical illness or disability cover, they offer support while you're still alive, when you need it most.
🛡️ A financial cushion during your most vulnerable moments
🛡️ Help with medical bills, home care, or day-to-day expenses
🛡️ Peace of mind knowing you’re not alone when life throws a curveball
Because life assurance isn’t just about death, it’s about living with dignity through every season.
6. It’s more affordable than you think
Let’s be honest, many of us assume life assurance is only for the wealthy. We think it’s something for people with big titles or big salaries. But that couldn’t be further from the truth.
At Zimnat, we believe protection should be for everyone no matter your income.
- We’ve got Dollar Deals that make life assurance affordable.
- If we can spare a dollar for some little guilty pleasures, we can find a dollar to protect our families.
- With Zimnat Chema, we’ve made funeral cover simple, flexible, and within reach
We’re not just selling cover, we’re giving peace of mind, one dollar at a time.
See how it fits your life: Chema/Inyembezi MicroFuneral Plan
7. Because you don’t know what tomorrow holds
We don’t say this to scare you we say it because it’s true “ramangwana harizivikanwe”.
Every day you wait is one day closer to the unexpected. And once it's too late, there's no going back. Choosing life assurance today is about choosing:
- Responsibility
- Security
- Love in action
You don’t need to be wealthy to plan ahead you just need to care enough to act.
Your Family’s future starts with you
In a world full of “what ifs,” life assurance gives you one answer you can count on.
✔️ It protects your family
✔️ It supports your dreams
✔️ It creates a legacy that lasts beyond a lifetime
Don’t leave your family’s future to chance. Get in touch with our team today for a free life assurance quote tailored to your budget, life stage, and goals.

Why Smart Zimbabweans Travel in June, Not December
Mid-Year Is the New December – Here’s Why savvy Zimbabweans Are Packing Their Bags Now
The June–August travel hack nobody talks about
Ask any Zimbabwean to picture “holiday season” and December lights up—airport queues, kombis full of groceries for gogo, and a suitcase wedged with presents. It’s beautiful… and hectic. Mid-year, by contrast, serves up cheaper airfares, mild weather, and shorter visa queues. That’s why searches for “holiday destinations 2025” and “cheap holiday packages from Zimbabwe” have surged this May.Google Trends
Why mid-year makes dollars and sense
-
Pocket-friendly flights – Airlines drop fares on regional routes like Harare–Johannesburg and Harare–Dar es Salaam between May and August.
-
Easier visa appointments – Schengen and Dubai slots open wider outside the festive stampede. (Just Google “Schengen visa Zimbabwe”—results have doubled in May.)
-
Kids’ school calendar – The second-term break sits perfectly in August, giving families a neat two-week getaway window.
-
Weather wins – Think 26 °C afternoons in Zanzibar or cloud-free safari drives in Hwange.
Holiday hotspots lighting up Zimbabwean search bars
| Destination | Why it’s trending now |
|---|---|
| Zanzibar | Warm sea, no cyclone risk mid-year, and that new FlySafair routing via JNB. |
| Dubai | June-July mega-sales, indoor theme parks, easier visa slots (“Dubai visa requirements Zimbabwe” is a breakout term). |
| Cape Town road trips | Couples love the winter-wine-and-fireplace vibe. |
| Vic Falls long weekend | Low-season hotel rates. |
| Maun & Okavango | Peak game-viewing without December’s 40 °C scorch. |
The December dilemma: why “visit home” ≠ “vacation”
Culturally, December in Zimbabwe is for family obligations—clearing fields, weddings, church conventions, paying respects at kumusha. You’re busy, your wallet is busy, and beaches are busier still. Booking that exotic escape in June means you return refreshed and still have energy for "kisimusi paroots" later in the year.
Enter Zimnat Travel Insurance: Your passport’s best friend
Picture this: You’ve finally landed that Zanzibar deal, but your child’s suitcase—packed with swimming goggles and all—decides to explore Ethiopia instead. Zimnat Travel Insurance steps in with luggage delay cover, so you buy replacements without raiding the holiday kitty. Zimnat Insurance Group
Or maybe your connecting flight out of OR Tambo is suddenly cancelled. Zimnat reimburses unexpected hotel nights and meals while you sip rooibos in transit. Our optional hospital cash-back plan even pays you daily if malaria bites and you’re hospitalised in Stone Town, easing medical bills and stress.
“Whether you’re a cross-border trader off to Lusaka or a family heading for Disney-in-Dubai, our cover protects your trip budget so you can focus on memories, not mishaps,” says the Zimnat Travel team. Zimnat Insurance Group
Quick-fire FAQs Zimbabweans Google in May
Is travel insurance mandatory for Dubai or Schengen visas?
Yes—both expect proof of medical cover up to €30 000. Zimnat’s policies meet these limits and issue instant certificates for your visa file.
Does Zimnat cover group trips?
Absolutely. Friends, church youth camps, even your chorister squad headed to Vic Falls Carnival get discounted group rates.
Can I pay premiums in USD or ZWL?
Zimnat quotes in USD for global trips but accepts local-currency transfers at bank rate the day you sign—flexibility that keeps budgeting simple.
Five mid-year itinerary ideas (all Zimnat-approved)
-
Zanzibar Spice Trail (7 days) – Stone Town markets, Jozani Forest colobus monkeys, Mnemba snorkelling.

Celebrating Love and Home Protection this Valentine’s Season!
Harare, Zimbabwe – [Tuesday, 18 February 2025] –This Valentine’s season, we at Zimnat General Insurance set out to create a truly unforgettable experience, blending creativity with a powerful message about securing what matters most—your home.
At the busy intersection of Rekayi Tangwena and Bulawayo Road, we transformed an ordinary house into a giant, gift-wrapped spectacle, symbolizing the ultimate expression of love and security. On Monday, 17 February 2025, we officially unveiled this "gift" in grand style, accompanied by a captivating live saxophone performance from the renowned Denilson.
Inside the towering gift box stood a fully furnished two-bedroom house from Instant Homes, a striking representation of the value of affordable and reliable home insurance. Our campaign was designed to spark conversations about home protection in a way that resonates with every Zimbabwean.
. 
“This initiative was about more than just marketing—it was about engaging with our customers in a meaningful way,” said Mrs. Betty Chiware-Togarasei, CEO of Zimnat General Insurance. “A home is one of life’s most precious investments, and just like a gift, it deserves to be protected.”
Our bold activation quickly became the talk of Harare, drawing attention both on the ground and online. Social media was abuzz with reactions, as people shared their excitement and curiosity about the giant wrapped house. The overwhelming response reinforced our belief that insurance isn’t just about policies—it’s about peace of mind, security, and, ultimately, love.
At Zimnat, we don’t just provide insurance—we create moments that matter. This Valentine’s Day, we celebrated love, security, and the joy of homeownership in a way that left a lasting impression.
Stay connected for more innovative initiatives as we continue to lead the way in customer-focused solutions.
Your Home Deserves the Best Protection.
