Zimbabweans indeed have brilliant ideas; some ideas possibly
at par or greater that your Facebook, Amazon,Google. Ideas need not be global for them to be great they can be regional and still be great. The only thing is that in Zimbabwe unlike Europe, USA e.t.c. Your brilliant idea will have to face more obstacles (Market Absorption, Sceptics like Mr Chirau who only believe in ideas from the west, Patent rights and other legislation, Venture capital funding e.t.c).
Tell me what is so brilliant about tweeter? It only takes Oprah/CNN to talk
about tweeter once and before you know it everyone including Mr Chirau is calling it a brilliant innovative idea...what we need to concentrate on is building a solid incubation framework that allows our young stars to effectively prototype and launch their ideas..this thing of touting facebook,amazon and talkin about how brilliant Zuckerburg is will get us nowhere...
