I DISCOVERED A SIDE OF ZIMBABWE MANY PEOPLE NEVER SEE… Ntabazinduna is rising! 🇿🇼

Today I had the privilege of attending the Ntabazinduna Agricultural Show 2026 — and what I witnessed reminded me of one powerful truth:

The future of Zimbabwe is not only in our cities… it is growing in our rural communities. 🌾

From hardworking farmers, innovative young entrepreneurs, livestock showcases, traditional knowledge, local products and the determination of ordinary Zimbabweans building extraordinary things — Ntabazinduna showed that rural Zimbabwe has stories that deserve the world's attention.

Many people drive past these communities without knowing the talent, ideas and opportunities hidden there.

But behind every field is a dream.
Behind every farmer is a story.
Behind every rural entrepreneur is a potential business waiting to grow.

The question is:

Are we investing enough in our rural communities, or are we leaving Zimbabwe's greatest potential untapped? 🤔🔥

I captured the sights, sounds and stories of this incredible event.

THE MOST VALUABLE EXHIBIT AT NTABAZINDUNA WAS NOT ON A TABLE… IT WAS THE PEOPLE. 🇿🇼

When we talk about agriculture, we often talk about crops, livestock, machinery and technology.

But today I want to celebrate something even more important:

The people who carry the knowledge.

At the Ntabazinduna Agricultural Show 2026, I saw generations coming together — the elders who have spent decades understanding the land, the farmers who have preserved traditional practices, and the children who represent the future of Zimbabwe.

Because knowledge is not only found in books.

Sometimes it is found in the hands of a grandmother who knows when to plant.
In the stories of a grandfather who has survived many seasons.
In the curiosity of a child asking questions.
In the young farmer learning new methods to improve production.

This is how communities grow.

One generation teaching another.

The future of agriculture will not be built by technology alone. It will be built when we combine the wisdom of our elders with the energy, creativity and innovation of our young people.

The question we must ask ourselves:

🔥 Are we doing enough to preserve the knowledge of our older generation before it disappears?

🔥 Are we creating enough opportunities for young people to learn from those who came before them?

🔥 What stories and skills are hidden in our villages that the world needs to hear?

Ntabazinduna reminded me that every community is a living classroom.

I captured these beautiful moments of people, culture and connection.

📍 Inyathi, Zimbabwe

Sometimes the biggest developments don't happen in big cities.

They happen quietly, in places like Inyathi.

These days, when I see a borehole pumping water onto a field of green maize, I don't just see water. I see possibilities.

Imagine having water throughout the year. Imagine being able to grow your crops even when the rains are late. Imagine harvesting maize from your own field while others are still waiting for the next rainfall.

That's exactly what is happening here.

One thing I've learned through OffGrid Africa is that rural development doesn't always need million-dollar projects. Sometimes it starts with something as simple as a reliable borehole.

💧 Water leads to farming.
🌽 Farming leads to food.
💰 Food can lead to income.

And before you know it, a whole local economy starts growing.

The more I travel around Zimbabwe, the more I realize that our rural areas have incredible potential. Give people water, energy, and a little bit of support, and they will do the rest.

Looking at this green maize in the middle of rural Inyathi, it's hard not to feel optimistic.

Would you move back to the rural areas if you had reliable water, solar power, and a way to earn a living?

One of the people who continues to inspire me in rural Zimbabwe is Chief Dakamela of Nkayi.

I had the opportunity to see him at ZITF 2026, moving through the exhibition grounds with a proud delegation of amatsh*tshi, amabutho, and amaguqa. Wherever they passed, people stopped to watch. It was more than a cultural display—it was a reminder that rural Zimbabwe still has a powerful story to tell.

What I admire most about Chief Dakamela is that he has refused to accept the idea that development only happens in cities.

Through initiatives such as the Imiklomelo kaDakamela Cultural Festival, education programmes, housing schemes for vulnerable families, community development projects, and the promotion of cultural tourism, he has shown that rural areas can create their own opportunities while preserving their identity.

Nkayi has become a place where culture, tourism, education, agriculture, and community development are working together. Thousands of people now travel to Nkayi for events that celebrate heritage while creating economic opportunities for local communities.

This is exactly what we talk about on OffGrid Africa.

The future of Africa will not be built only in Harare, Bulawayo, Johannesburg, Lagos, or Nairobi.

It will also be built in places like Nkayi.

It will be built where people use local resources, local knowledge, local leadership, and local culture to create sustainable rural economies.

Too often we think development means leaving home. Yet leaders like Chief Dakamela are proving that development can happen at home.

The question is not whether rural areas have potential.

The question is whether we are willing to see that potential and invest in it.

What rural district in Zimbabwe do you think is quietly building a successful local economy?
