2020: Anchor for Zim’s success Lovemore Chikova Development Dialogue Covid-19 hit our shores with devastating consequences in 2020, affecting business and ultimately slowing the development trajectory set by President Mnangagwa’s Government. We are not yet out of the woods with regards to this disease, but there is hope and optimism that 2021 will bring better tidings. Although Covid-19 played some tricks on the country, it was not all doom and gloom when it came to the implementation of developmental programmes. If I was allowed to name 2020 in developmental terms, I would call it “The Anchor of Development in Zimbabwe”. For it was indeed the year in which the country set the base for future development and made all the fundamentals right as a prerequisite for a massive take-off in development.
