b"This podcast is the first instalment of a two-part conversation Andile Masuku had with one of Zimbabwe\\u2019s most well-known and widely-respected business people, the economist turned banker, entrepreneur and investor, Dr Nigel Chanakira. \\n\\nDr Chanakira is probably most famous for founding Kingdom Financial Holdings Limited in 1997, and for orchestrating that company\\u2019s much-publicized merger and demerger with the Meikles Africa group before eventually selling out to the Mauritius-based AfrAsia Holdings in 2013.\\n\\nPrior to founding Kingdom Financial Holdings, Dr Chanakira spent long stints working for the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe and Bard Discount House. Over the years, he has sat on the boards of numerous leading companies and institutions, including Econet Wireless Holdings, Success Motivation Institute (Africa), the Christian Community Trust and Kingdom Meikles Africa.\\n\\nListen in to hear Dr Chanakira's fascinating personal and professional origin story. And heads up, this episode features an intriguing anecdote about role Dr Chanakira played in setting up Econet founder Strive Masiyiwa to become one of Zimbabwe\\u2019s most prolific entrepreneurial successes to date, and how he may have simultaneously made the poorest investment decision of his career.\\n\\nImage credit: Pepi Stojanovski"
