Today we feature the leader of our Elders Forum, Mrs Masocha. She has a beautiful guest house where we have hosted events in the past.

A family owned business founded by serial entrepreneurs, W & P Masocha in 1988, then a young couple in our twenties.

We started with a Bottle Store and Takeaway at Marlborough Civic Centre Shopping Complex, in 1988.

We sold the Bottle Store and Takeaway in 1991 and started a Canopy Manufacturing Company called Headway Enterprises (Pvt) Ltd in Willowvale Industrial Area.

In 1994 we opened another Business. Executive Hair Salon in Union Avenue.

In 1998 we added another Venture Ashley’s Garden Nursery and Landscaping. We were contracted by Old Mutual to Landscape Westgate Shopping Centre, Highglen Shopping Complex and 3 other Industrial premises in Willowvale.

We sold the Hair Salon to raise funds to Build the Headway Industrial Complex in Willowvale in 2004

We were forced to close down Headway Canopy Manufacturing Business in 2017 due to the very difficult economic hardships and corruption.

In 2018 we subdivided the Headway Industrial Complex into 7 Lettable Units or Bays currently being rented our to successful SMEs . Website: www.headwayenterprises.co.zw;

In 2019 we opened Ashley’s Guest House, a Hospitality Business, which is still currently operational. Our website: www.ashleysguesthouse.com

We have a very successful backyard vegetables gardening venture, where we grow covo, lettuce, spinach and shallots. We wholesale to big retail shops in the Western and Northern Suburbs. We also grow boiler chickens for sale to our community and to Makoronyera.

Our strength: Mentoring young and upcoming entrepreneurs on resilience and never to give up on their dreams.

Our weakness: We are getting old, although we have enlisted all our four children as beneficiaries and Directors of our family Business, they have successfully established themselves abroad and we are currently enticing our last born son to relocate to Harare and be the New Face of our Businesses.
