By Desire Tshuma
Speaking to this publication at Harare Showgrounds, Fortune Mugede (pictured left), Harare Provincial Boys Dza Mudara chairman, said their mandate as an organisation is to preserve, support the vision and legacy of President Mnangagwa and champion the vision 2030.
Boys Dza Mudara is a group of young entrepreneurs and those who are aspiring to be entrepreneurs who are there to grab opportunities that are being created by the second republic.
“As you all know that they are a lot of chievements that have been accomplished by the second republic, so we say let the youth come upfront with their business proposals and we assist each other through empowerment funds as long the business idea is feasible. In turn after your business has produced fruits some of the money will pay taxes so that our nation progresses,” Mugede said.
He was speaking on the sidelines of the National Youth Empowerment Symposium Sessions and Exhibitions at Glamis Arena which is scheduled to be opened tomorrow (Wednesday) by the President. Among the Boys Dza Mudara who are exhibiting bricks is Allan Twalumba, a youth from Hwange who managed to pirchase a brick moulding machine which moulds 200 000 bricks a day and has created employment among the youths.
Boyz Dzamudhara’s mandate is to turn youthful energy into economic momentum. In 2025 they launched a series of “Youth‑Led Marketplaces” accross the country, giving informal traders a platform to showcase locally‑made goods while linking them to formal supply chains.
Through skills‑training workshops, they empower informal workers — who make up roughly 60 % of Zimbabwe’s workforce — to access credit, digital tools, and market information, directly boosting the informal sector’s contribution to GDP .
The group also sits on the national fundraising committee, channeling US$20 000 from the Presidential Empowerment Fund into youth‑livelihood initiatives, from solar‑powered charging stations to agro‑processing hubs, reinforcing the informal economy’s role in cushioning the country against macro‑economic shocks.
Boyz Dzamudhara stitches together mining revenue, informal‑sector support, and youth entrepreneurship, turning grassroots innovation into a tangible driver of Zimbabwe’s economic resilience.
