This photo, taken by Bakidzanani Dube in 2011(July) shows the Victoria Falls which is undoubtedly the "halo" of the Zimbabwean beauty...
Nature and economics are two concepts that are closely linked to one another in that nature provides the resources from which the economy can prosper,a closer analysis can reveal
The Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River between Zambia and Zimbabwe provides a spectacular sight which makes Zimbabwe rank among the most beautiful countries of the world.
Close to the Victoria Falls is the Hwange National Park which is a home to a great deal of Zimbabwean wildlife and both natural gifts attract a large number of tourists who bring in foreign currency.
Meanwhile the soils of Zimbabwe are not just fertile for farming but they are also fertile in minerals like the most disputed Chiadzwa Diamonds and gold.
Given all this abundance of resources one then comes to wonder why scores of Zimbabweans continue to live the most miserable lives yet their country is "mother" to all these resources.
These are some of the questions that go a long way to reveal that management and natural resources are two closely linked concepts where a corrupt management can actually brew poverty and chaos for a nation.
Needles to say, Zimbabwe is a very rich country that should desist from any dependency syndrome and start exploiting these God given gifts so as to revive its economy.
I think tourism is the cornerstone of the country's economy and may pull the country out of this economic abyss if we can find and form partnerships to invest heavily in this sector
