How Much Has Zimbabwe Lost To Brain Drain? | Properganda with Kandoro 

Very powerful presentation. You have highlighted the urgent need to have ethics and values in governance and leadership in all sectors. Brain drain drains the country. Scientists, engineers and medical experts have been lost to other countries. Country needs brain at the top. Zviri kurwadza kani. In monetary terms this brain drain runs into billions. A country cant be run by riot police only. No ways. Waita King Ndoro. Your content is very motivating. Hope these politicians vanoonawo chingavabatsire. Zimbabweans vatambura veduwe. Mrs Nyamapfene nee Muzvare

Protect Kandoro at all costs amana. Look forward to every episode!

King Ndoro, thanks for a brilliant piece of analysis on the Zimbabwe brain drain. I'm not a political activist, but you seem to place some hope in the 2023 elections as if a change in political power will lead to the prosperity of Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe has major structural issues, some of which you highlighted in the Dairiboard CEO. Putting aside western political interference for a moment and just focusing on Zimbabwean issues. I have a PhD student who researched the manufacturing sector's collapse in Bulawayo from 1985 to 2015. Out of the 200 companies that were part of the research, 90% of them that collapsed had a CEO who was a Chartered Accountant. The companies that thrived and managed to survive through ESAP and other disastrous economic policy initiatives were headed by Engineers. For example, the famous Eric Block from Bulawayo, a CA and self-taught Economist, was on the board of the 63 companies that collapsed. I'm not by any means trying to blame the collapse of the manufacturing hub in Bulawayo on CA's. Several economic factors were at play. The point is that Zimbabwe has too many unexamined factors, which resulted in the brain drain, one of the critical ones was corporate leadership. We still have a lot of work to do to recognise the right talent for the job and reward them accordingly. A lot of the brain drain can be attributed to a lack of corporate recognition and monetary incentives without considering the economic environment. The outcome of the 2023 elections will not fix these underlying issues because companies are still run by people from all political divides. Zimbabwe has chronic leadership challenges in every sector. From corporates to Churches and our Government. We all must reflect on the cause of this self-sabotaging spirit that manifests in everything we do. Whether selecting the right leadership in politics, business, sport etc., we never seem to get it right. We applaud our resilience to economic turmoil and boast about our ability to adapt and make a plan. Are we not the Masters of our own demise? Ultimately, you have to leave Zim to escape this mentality.

"Greener, colder, and racist pastures" killed me. 🤣💀

It is really sad and costly for Zimbabwe and Africa at large but my country Zambia 🇿🇲 has benefited greatly from Zim human resources in such sectors like ICT, Agriculture, business and commerce as well as the service sector

Excellent analyses. The brain drain crises is bigger than people think! Every year I return to zimbabwe on holiday, the conversations I have become shallower and shallower.

I might have shed a tear or 2, but what do I know, I wasn't even born when Dairiboard had a different CEO.

Lovely piece! While the direct costs of brain drain are apparent and reasonably quantifiable, the indirect cost is what wreaks the most devastating havoc over generations and generations

How do you have upward mobility in companies when there's no upward mobility in government? Zero turnover on politicians

Sad. My friend and I are Directors in NT Government, Australia and we are driving programs and leading in a foreign land. Our skills are being appreciated here and pray one day we can return to Zim. By the way, we are just 42 and 41years of age. Sad.

I'm out of words King wabata panorwadza you have got a very brilliant mind keep it up

Trying to quantify the cost of brain drain on Zim is tough one. I'd proffer, as alluded to at the beginning of the episode, looking at the value addition/creation made by our people outside of Zim. Though not a fair apples to apples comparison, it would in some sense show the opportunity cost

King Kandoro you are a National Treasure, continue the good informative work.

I have always imagined myself doing things I am doing now in the diaspora at home in Harare or Bulawayo. I am one of those people affected when Joy TV was shut down! At that time I was actually booked in a hotel in Bulawayo as we were preparing the launch of Joy TV in Bulawayo (Which never happened!). Jonono was personally involved in shutting Joy TV!

The list goes on and on. I’m sure all of could name 10 or more people making an impact in their field in the diaspora.

I hold very little hate in my heart, but the little that I do have is ENTIRELY dedicated to the men and women who have destroyed Zimbabwe. It may not be wide but it is infinitely deep and will reside with me for eternity.

This is sad man, I was actually discussing this same issue with someone a few days ago. If all these people were still in Zim, with good governance we were gna be somewhere as a country

the parallels between the (gov) public and private where you have CEOs staying for 2 decades just shows how it's really tough for Zimbos even in academia too you find professors not allowing their subordinates to rise and get promoted chichef

This has followed me everywhere I will watch it later.

Thus is powerful. Please keep it up

Racism > Instability is a sad trade off

It's been long. Thanks for this vital information. The point now is to get educated and leave Zimbabwe 😢.

Spot on, as always.

This hit me deep...I could be the next Bob Diamond in Barclays UK....and here I am still in Zim

Well said 👏🏿👏🏿 So many pple are doing great exploits outside Zim. A shame that they can’t do that at home

Thank you so much for your content. This is actually surprisingly shocking! I hope we haven't reached a point of no return.

RU-vid should have a retweet button cause this is some deep content right here

Well said mwana wevhu. I'm one of those who departed. I still have hope though. I'll come back to vote and also take part in making Zim great in the New Zim

Interesting analysis, great insights. Excellent work King.

God help Zimbabwe. This is sad.our education system was also programed in a wrong way.

What an informative episode, keep the good work

Man this is powerful, the real issues we need in the media.

This is crazy because the dairibord example hit home. I know someone who actually left dairibord and went to Kenya. Ever since they have risen so much and are doing extremely well. People struggling and working extra hard in Zimbabwe leave and work with the same ethic but the fruit of the labour is 10000 fold which is actual insanity.

Thank you for this wonderful and insightful episode. It's quite painful if we see how much we have lost and how much we will still lose. Very topical issue and a number of factors at play!

A lot of people in this comment section don't know what brain drain means Any way good work bro keep it up 💯🙌🏾

Brilliant! Your best episode yet. How sad the topic but well put.

Great show, very informative, I wish many unfocused can watch this every week

Why would they waste their time? Honestly. Zimbabwe is a shambles if the current regime continues.

nice analysis

Well prepared and informative piece. As always!

Thanks

Zimbabwe's human capital is a force to reckon with on the global scene. Chartered Management Institute has just announced their shortlist of 6 contenders for Chartered Manager of Year 2022. For the first time ever, a Zimbabwean is amongst this year's top 6 chartered managers. That's how good Zimbabwe human capital is.

Thanx for such a powerful piece Bro.. keep the good work.

As long zanu is around nothing will change in Zimbabwe

I had to finish watching this episode ndakabata shaya....

Haa pa 2:36..... Maparidza chokwadi King . Great episode

I need someone who can visualize the cumulative effect of this brain drain. What will become of us in like in a decade?

King Kandoro you are talented. Your content is great but there was something you stated in this video that I didn't think was a fair comment. Watch a 2020 documentary titled "Uncle Tom" freely available on youtube.

I you watch for the second time unoisa sei imwe like

As a Content creator l personally want to learn from you.

Digital department is like minister without portfolio position

Very informative

Did he just say unfocused youths🤣🤣🤣🤣

My issue with the brain drain is that people deciding to go elsewhere can be good, but, like you addressed in this video; how conducive is that environment for those who have left to come back and invest into their communities? Into their country? I am sure they would love to open up academies, set up foundations, scholarships... programs.... let's not even talk about infrastructure and just the modernisation of the country as a whole? Inini? Not bitter at all. 😅

I don't want to lie we see so much ideas that we want to bring back home because we can see how much it's making life easy and how people getting money but ukangofunga kuZim hahaha unopera Power guys aaaaa

I know a year is asking too much😂😂😂😂

Greener colder racist and xenophobic pastures.....how sad

Love you kandoroooo
