It is extremely complex to get Zimbabweans to work together. We generally prefer riding solo and where we agree to work hand in glove, it is usually for a brief period before squabbles kick in especially power struggles. So we have every good reason to celebrate the Jangano Crowd Fund for showing the light to many small business owners.
And our business model was very simple:
1)Drafting a simple constitution to safeguard investment-it took us 4 months of serious brainstorming,
2)Bank Funds with FBC Amarounds Account: Avoid handing cash
3)Secure land from reputable institutions. No purchases from individuals. Target new developments from small towns. In our case (Rawson Properties)
4)Transfer funds electronically and conclude the deal
Lessons Learnt.
-It is doable although you need tons of patience as decision making is collective.
-Some could reach the final line but decide to leave. So budget for withdrawals.
-Keep subscriptions low and avoid big figures or big land out of reach.
-The game is move slowly, acquire small land-develop and keep moving.
In April 2026 we are expecting our next Crowdfund called Thuthuvaka to also buy land after running for 9 months. Interested in land acquisition? We have a new one coming from mid January 2026.
