#2 Feed well the parents of the next generation, and their children might be able to absorb the education needed to become tech savvy. The current generation has been busy hunting beetles and grubs to feed their families, and will not be able to make the transition. But the odds are that their children, harmed as their development has been by malnutrition and outright starvation in the critical early stages of brain development, will be considerably less than their genetic potential, as demonstrated by the North Koreans. So we are talking the granchild generation.

On the other hand, feed the current generation well while teaching them to farm and herd, providing them with land, tools, fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, and breeding stock... and by harvest time it will all have been eaten by a population that has learnt the hardest way not to trust the government.

So good luck with that, guys.

#3 President Emmerson Mnangagwa says his Government is preparing for a massive industrialisation and modernisation of the economy underpinned by a new thinking in wealth creation.

Only two countries have ever capitalized their own industrialization - England and the Soviet Union. I'm sure you'll find capital investors, like those who are still holding Venezuelan bonds.
