Mr Zireva knows exactly what he is talking about .
Tapiwa Zireva encouraged me to engage in Agriculture, I am now doing piggery and other crop products
if a man is educated, healthy & financially independent, he speaks the truth without fear & with a free conscience!

Thank you Willard, thank you Trevor. We need to separate business administration from politics.
I always wonder why we are faced with an economic crisis, while we have brilliant minds like this in Zimbabwe

Best manager in the world. My son was born on the same day as OK Grand challenge in 1994.
I think in Zimbabwe we have many brilliant minds and Mr. Zireva is one of them. His ideas are good for Zimbabwe

Great guy with solid business acumen and true character. I respect Mr V. W. Zireva so much.
I think this one needs a part 2 Trevor. There is a lot of wisdom to be tapped around modeling and managing a business in volatile times, the difference between the 2008 shortages and 2019 where shops were full but prices changing a lot. The impact of perception in the market and a lot more

Great advice from Mr Zireva on harnessing the rivers and on Farming.If only the government could harness the knowledge and skills of such people in farming,banking,civil society,healthcare,education we would be in good hands! Also civilian abductions are real.
Mr Willard V Zireva is a man I grew up reading about in company annual reports and of course in the papers. Its improbable that I might get to meet him in person and that makes this opportunity to have him speak on his first hand experiences in business all the more significant and important to me being a budding professional and businessman myself. Having him on your show is invaluable for me Mr Ncube. Thank you yet again for the exceptional work. I look forward to next week's bill of your show. Cheers. I am going to watch this interview again tomorrow.

This guy is a living legend, with good reputation. He is exporting to the UK direct. I wonder why others say sanctions sanctions. I think we really need to question this sanctions outcry.
I enjoyed this conversation. Enough respect Mr W Zireva
thanks Trevor hope to meet Mr Zireva next year when I come home I love farming I want to learn from him
A great dedicated man. Thank you for your knowledge and inspiration
This is an informative and encouraging platform..keep the fire burning.
Thank you Mr Zireva Sir inspiring
Good interview Trevor, the gentleman is very practical
Trevor is such a great host but i would like to see him being interviewed sometime, i know it will be difficult to get anyone to fill his shoes on the host seat but i'm sure for just one episode we can manage even jake or jill but he needs to be interviewed and tell his story as well.

You are 100% right.
First and foremost, thanks Trevor, i always find your conversations enlightening and going beyond the veil of ignorance that at times we possess as people. I like how Mr Zireva is frank and fearless and speaks his mind. A few things i learnt and liked: 1. His leadership style of having an open door policy, if someone want to meet an MD or CEO, that person would surely be convinced something is wrong and it needs his attention. 2. Being an authentic person in a chaotic country is problematic, however remain principled. 3. As a human rights student myself and potential leader in the field, i put the advice he was also given during his fishing trip, ANYONE CAN BE A CANDIDATE OF THE STATE BECAUSE OF YOUR POSITION (position of authority). Thanks Trevor your content makes spending time on the internet a worthwhile. One day is one day i will be a guest of In Conversation with Trevor.

That's a great conversation with a lot of lessons to pick, we really like this history Trevor weather it's business , politics etc . This history helps us to shapes our lives, sometimes we see these big organisation and or people not knowing what they gone through to be where they are today.

After your Accounting Degree you still go and do a Post Grad Diploma with Unisa one or two years. Still same system.
