He is lost in the industry and should visit the big guns in the industry... there are young guys with 4000 cattles... a cow can give back your money at 8 months....
You will never hear Dangote and Masiyiwa saying cattle farming haina mari😂😂😂 anyways if cattle faming is not profitable we would not be having Montana, Texas etc - I mean its safe to say SUBSISTENCE FARMING won’t make you a millionaire…….his idea is good but he doesn’t have knowledge ye farming😂😅😅😅 even from a tax perspective - after a drought there is restocking allowance to help farmers among other things. And zvekuti haasati aona mombe farmer ari wealthy I mean ngaamboenda kuma farm. Idea yake iri right but it is for those guys with investment ye 1000$ to 5000$ not someone who wants to start studs and fattening, dairy etc not mombe dzekurimisa kumakandiwa uko😂
Kindly do a bit of work to research about cattle farmers in Zim and visit them at their farms for a look and learn. Kusaziva varikuita mari nemombe doesnt mean hakuna vanhu varikuita mari nekurima mombe
Livestock farming starts with passion, and money comes way later. And not everyone can be a farmer. I am working, started with one mombe 15 years ago, bought another 5 along the way. I have close to 200 cows, and expecting to hit 300 by end of 2025. These guys are talking about how to make quick money. Farming allows you to raise your equity over time, 15 years for me. I could raise enough money to buy 100 breeding animals, but am almost there. You need to be passionate to run any business. Stay in your lane in life.

It's unlikely that a wealthy, educated doctor would participate in uninformed interviews, dissecting industries they have no experience in. Although rural cattle farming may face challenges, commercial farming operations that supply beef to butcheries can be highly profitable. As someone in construction, it's essential to respect and appreciate the efforts of cattle farmers who work hard to feed our families.
I am passionate about goat farming...but that should not make me present those in sheep farming as redundant....any business i believe is profitable as long as you run it well....
When you interview an "expert" its always advisable to avoid getting over excited. This helps you to calmly probe further, table counter arguments, investigate facts and figures and eventually bring out a balanced discussion. Such an approach separates interviews from nyaya dzemu barber shop dzekuti gudo ringaite ma KGs mangani
Lol, the pros are found kunana CNN nana Aljazeera nana SABC, and they have all the professionalism you need, pano pa social media the way we do it is how we want to do it, kugona kana kusagona🥲
I was going to say the same thing. Interview Dr. Dlodlo, Pilossof. Every business has risks but most of us passion drives us. Makhaya farming ofcourse you won’t make make money and the type of breed plays a part also. Farming is the way to go.
Hi Kundai, every business tht u would do whether construction or farming it does have its own factors tht would determine its profitability or losses, but whatever you do, do it because it does have success at the end.
Those 5 cows have fed millions of rural people, specially in Zimbabwe. Its not only about making millions, but surviving as people. We shouldn't discourage subsistence living, that the safety net for our people with economies that cant afford social grants.
Makes good sense.l think on a larger scale its sustainable, not at communal level sire it can be expensive, on the other hand they're used for farming, hence they'll make commercial grade at most or economy. Stud breeding can make you wealthier if you have a good market and are using purebreeds, not zvima cross
This Dr should have said l don’t know anything about cattle farming not to diss a whole industry based on the example of people doing subsistence farming cattle is capitol intensive you can’t say l am doing cattle farming with 10 as his example
His opinion is a based on rural cattle keeping not commercial breeding. Indigenous cows have no value compared to Boran, Ankole, Simbra. Ms Simbini Ndlakula has a farm and she into Backwards integration, doing sales of livestock, milk and running own commercially profitable butchery.
he is right but it depends with the type of cattle keeping/ranching method you are using ,he described the way we do it kumusha , but if you are doing commercial cattle ranching practicing all the methods of ranching it is a good investment like any other business but with risk like any other business, not all have made in construction ,telecoms ,transport and groceries business. The other important factor is political environment were people are trying to operate these business ventures ,the playing fields are not level and not conducive like the prices are not the same comparing at world market best prices unotanga uchimhanyisa dzakatosara kare
The guy is hitting the nail on the head. If we want to be true to ourselves and move away from the traditional wiring in us, that cattle is a sign of wealth, then he is right. To make it in cattle farming, you need numbers, big land for grazing (to buy or rent a farm is expensive), medication, supplementary feed, and best genetics that come at a cost. Not forgetting time and patience, which are the most expensive commodities on earth. One can do cattle farming as first generation in the family growing numbers as a foundation for the next generation to take over from better numbers, but don't expect to be the first cattle farmer in the family and be rich from it. Farmers (esp whites) who are successful from cattle farming are not the first generation cattle farmers. They inherited the business or inherited the capital to start it.
The doc is making sense here.. its not kuti cattle farming haina mari but its about numbers here.. for example kuva nemombe dzirikuma 1000 ndopanotangira business qete dzedu isu kungova ne20 hauna qaunoenda
I am passionate about goat farming...but that should not make me present those in sheep farming as redundant....any business i believe is profitable as long as you run it well....I thinks we should differentiate subsistance and commercial farming
This is not an honest assessment of people who are doing cattle farming at a commercial level.He has made his conclusion based on people who just buy cattle as a hobby or trying to store value nekutenga mombe kumamisha and most of the time those cattle dont produce the best results because they are overburdened by ploughing and stuff like that.. I know farmers who have so far recieved more than 300 calves this claving season so far and are making money every year.. In terms of the risk of losing cattle to diseases and stuff ,there is a lot of mitigations around that at a commercial level and also insurance covers some loses.. On the point of not seeing farmers at entrepreneurial workshops in Vic falls etc mentioned by Zigo,I disagree because most farmers have their own workshops specifically for farmers.Its unfortunate that most farmers dont show their wealth because emost of the time they are kumafarms and in dirt but trust me when u check their accounts you will see millions
Commercial cattle farming is a very profitable business, don't compare it with peasantry. Its all about breeds and numbers. Imagine money that is made by pedigree breeders the likes of Pillosoff, Tocky, Phil Reed etc
This Dr doesn't know what he is talking about. Cattle ranching is simply not his thing. You may consider visiting Divine Simbi Dlukuka's farm to appreciate the business of cattle. Also you may want to note that livestock farmers have very different approaches to their businesses.
Ndakambozvitaura kunemumwe munhu ....ndakaita piggery and ndaidakutenga mombe but ndichinyatsotarira ndakarega kutenga coz ndakaona nguruve iri profitable than mombe ...
Margin yeku property will never match up to intensive commercial farming, the reason why farmers to go to ceo round tables is because of there really is nothing to gain, real farmers meet and network at events like adma. Fun fact, mombe converts feed to meat at a ratio of 20:1 and when a beef cow reaches slaughter weight it becomes a liability because ut stops gaining weight and eats 3% of its body weight just to maintain its body.
This guy is talking about kupfuya mombe, mari iri pakurima mombe nekuita value addition. Personally I'll go for dairy farming as opposed to beef farming dairy is profitable on a small scale on the other hand beef is profitable on a large scale.
Dairy farming wangu unoitiza iwe inoda Mari yakawanda like to buy equipment and machinery and the standard of hygiene chete wangu kaa. Beef is way cheaper and less demanding to do than dairy. First put solar power otherwise mukaka wese unokora neZESA yedu iyi cz milking machines anoda power futi Hehedeee Dairy hauyi ziwee wangu
Never said it was easy or inexpensive my point is profitability on a small scale. Dairy unogona kutoita business ne mombe 10 other hand ne beef inenge iri hobby
Demanding yes, thats very true dairy is demanding. But its very doable at a small scale, hapana equipment yakawanda zvayo inonyanya kudiwa. The problem with us Zimbabweans is we want to start these businesses tiri pa level rana Mafuro or Red dane yet tinenge tisina mari yacho. Hatidi kutanha dzatinosvikira! Start small and grow. Start with what you have and what you can get. Keep it simple, kana mari yavapo then you go for state of the art equipment. Otherwise mombe haimborambe kukupa mukaka nekuti hauna expensive equipment. All you need are the right genetics, good nutrition and good animal healfh management. I encourage you my fellow brothers and sisters to take a leaf from our east African brothers and sisters how they do dairy farming. They keep it simple and are making money and progress. Watch youtube videos on dairy farming in Kenya or Rwanda, its amazing. Rural people are being empowered through dairy farming yet hear in Zim we want to start by investing in state of the art milking palours apo hatina kana cash zvedu to even buy one milking cow😂😂😂😂. Guess what, we are put off by the extremely high costs of such equipments and as a result we dont do anything and we die poppers. Our approaches to business are self defeating. Kenyans, Rwandees and Ugadans stories are very inspiring. The other thing about these people is they share information so much to each other unlike this part of the world. In the process of information sharing they are also generating substantial revenues via TH-cam, facebook etc. Dairy farming is not out of the ordinary. Its a very doable business by small scale farmers and is more profitable than beef cattle farming.
@@faraibeeyou are very correct! We need to open our eyes a bit. And with dairy you don't need vast tracks of land like that requires for beef cattle farming.
Interesting how people run to say haana ruzivo. Back it up with figures mune ruzivo. The topic needs more depth analysis for the majority to understand what he is saying.
Doc havana knowledge ye cattle ranching, more than half of millionaires in KNZ, Limpopo, Free State in S.A are cattle business even here in Zim check guys in matebeleland and mashonaland they are doing cattle and are rich
Interesting but the gentleman seems to lack knowledge about cattle farming, if you start off with 10 cows by the 3rd year u will have a very healthy balance sheet if u do things proper. You need numbers to make profits in cattle just like you need volumes in every business
Dr ava havana zvavo ruzivo rwemombe ndicho chokwadi. Dai vataura kwavanoswera. Chinonakidza vari kutaura izvi vakapfeka shangu yedenhwe remombe, vadya sadza nenyama yemombe, wotizoona kuti kuva Dr hazvireve kuva intelligent. He has got maldata on farming. Period.
Its sad . Would you know sells go around 9 000 usd for a boran Brahman bull. Goats there are farmers with a herd of 3 000. There many silent millionaires who are farmers just not big mouthed.
Thus his own assessment and iye ari kutawura becoz he is intrested real estate bt how much do you need kuti upinde ikoko, do enough research kwete kungo tawura, the reason why dzisinga wande kungoti padiki padiki taku tengesa kucover fees ini ndakayita mbudzi and profit yacho ndakayiwona
Sinyo Boran is the one who bought the bull from SA, he has a good number of Boran stud animals, and he hasn't started selling yet. Farming is all about numbers and good stock.
@@sirkund I’m not sure if I can still buy cattle. He is making a lot of sense😇😇 Real estate has good money and risks are VERY LOW!! But starting ndoinorwadza….
@ yes that’s true. But ndazotya when he mentioned the risks. I just remembered when we were in LowerGweru early last month in the villages., when people were crying that their cows were dying of hunger because of drought
It's unfortunate this argument is coming at a time when there is a drive to grow the national herd. I would like to here from a cattle farmer from Muzarabani or a big ranch in Matebeleland, or even a consultant from CSC.
Farming is resource intensive - whether its horticulture, tobacco, wheat, soya beans or animal husbandry. You need at least $100 000 for it to be profitable. You need vast amounts of land. Few actually understand this. You have been misled negospel re"small-scale" - you are wasting your time if you are playing small
This gentleman is not a fair representation of the cattle industry, and being a millionaire is not a qualification to disqualify the whole industry. its either you looking after cattle traditionally or you are farming cattle. His risk analysis was flowed to a certain extent, ngaangoti he chose a different kind of risk. lets hear from cattle farmers in the game not varikutaura dzemadzinza.
I have come to see or understand that cattle are like shares/bitcoin my ninja, especially if you doing them at a semi-subsistence farming scale ... you buy and you keep in the background. If done right ...they multiply favourably ...and when in a fix ... you can access them for funds. Shops , Houses etc where built during 2008 zim problems because of cattle ... just saying. Commercially its a different case ... like in any farming you have to have an oufftaker of your produce ... locally or export market. It can be a self made offtaker .. or another business that you supply (if commercial ranching is your route and you are not a commercial breeder (which is also another different lane altogether)) .Having a ready market is important and I think that's why that white guy ... Nick Havercroft (Boustead Beef UK) .... was trying to "rebuild" (zim style) the old csc ( its old infrastructure ...buildings, abbatoirs, cold storage and farms etc .... network, contacts, brand to a certain extent). He was trying to scale up and make sure his business has the leverage it needs to take off. However it was not to happen because of "things" ...google the story. The big farmers (this is my observation/opinion ...you can correct me) that typically make it are either in no rush to sell and make money (they have money already usually) ... its a long term game for them .... when they come to market they come and flood make they money and retreat ... OR ... the ones that want to make money ... have the infrastructure/network in place ( feedlot setup, offtaker, abattoir, one or all or even more of these) otherwise you will just be a hustler like all of us. Mind you these big farmers (Pilossof , York, Drummond, Debshan just to name a few) are not binary ...they have a mix or both commercial ranching and breeding ... depending on what works for them. As a hustler farmer you lean on certain things to relatively make it (its not a given that it will all work but there is a good chance you can make something) ... either relatively good volumes of weaners (which needs focus in terms of maintenance of your herd and that you have buyers for those weaners at market time ... a good breed that is wanted everytime you go to auction ... good source of feed (planning is important here ... two three year planning ..due to drought and lack of rain in ranching areas) ... and proper policing in your area (cattle theft is a real killer for most farmers ... 5 cattle stolen is your blood and sweat down the drain)
So if he invests $500 in real estate in the rural areas, will he expect a huge return on it? So why does he expect a huge return if he buys mombe dze $500 odzisiya kumusha nemukomana webasa. I suspect you did this to court controversy and attract traffic to your channel. Because the whole argument just does not make sense. Infact, your failure to push back says a lot about you as well.
Tsano, hatisi kutaura mombe 20 dzinenge dzichifudzwa nemukomana kumusha iwe uri kuTown woti i am doing cattle farming. That's not cattle farming. Mahumbwe.
This Dr does not even know the price of a cow. Why not just say i dont like farming and end there rather than discrediting other peoples hustle. Again Kundai him being a millionaire does not mean he knows everything and you believe every garbage he is telling you. Kundai you have showcased rural farmers who have hundreds of goats. All of a sudden he is telling you there is no money and you are believing tbat nonsense. Nowonder why zimhos are backwards. Challenge his garbage. You visited a guy who is building a school from goat farming. Now this idiot dr tels you it has no monry and you are having second thoughts. Come on Kundai. You have witnessed success in farming mbudzi all of a sudden you are having second thoughts. This guy says i dont keep mombe because kunoita drought. But he is willing to to do horticulture. What nonsense is that. Just say mombe handidzinzwisisi. I like construction. But don't diss someones hustle
The worst interview on Kundai’s show from someone with no knowledge of the industry he now wants to give advice on, you think people would invest on a bull for over $3000 upto $40000 on something that doesnt give money comeon
@Bibkay am actually angry with @kundai. He has interviewed successful people who are doing mbudzi and mombe. Then this honorary Dr comes and he jumps sheep and change his mind. This is the kind of hero worshipping mindset that keeps Zanu pf in power displayed by Kundai
every business has its own risk factors. Whilst l do appricate his POV l dont think he is well versed with knowledge ye cattle farming/ranching. he needs maybe to have a sit down nana Philip. Also can you explain those that sell cattle dzema 20k value? maybe akutaura zve mombe dzema 300 but this is quite a biased view. commercial cattle farming is a whole industry on its own same as construction yacho.
Rhodesian cattle farmers were doing well, they had the knowledge, passion, market and professional distribution chain. Zimbabwe was exporting meat to the EU in 1980s. Just admit you know nothing. Land reform was chaotic, you got land and you are failing. You thought you would be overnight millionaires not knowing that farming is a tough job which needs a great deal of knowledge, equipment and resources. Government should have taxed the farmers or enforced BEE joint ventures to retain expertise rather than grabbing land and giving it to clueless people. Ukraine and Russia are feeding the whole of Africa and you are failing to manage a small plot.
This is absolutely rubbish. Ma tenderpreneur will always view any production as a waste of time. All they understand is tenders obtained via ..... He probably eats meat everyday. If he thinks kuti mombe hadzibereki, where is that meat coming from?
mangouya ne munhu who owns makombi, knowledge yake yakawandira kumuromo he needs exposure in farming...even ikoko ku Zim varipo who are rich ne cattle ranching
He is unqualified to give the nation an advice about cattle breeding ko zvine musoro here kubvunza munhu zvemombe iye achiita zve construction the interview doesn't makes sense at all since Dr vane experience with construction and real estate why not sharing that information only
I wouldn’t go selling my whole herd of cattle based on his assessment and opinions. He needs more education about the industry.
He definitely needs a lot of education. He better stays on his lane. And the economy needs him where he is now
Very true he is not well vested in the field .
He is lost in the industry and should visit the big guns in the industry... there are young guys with 4000 cattles... a cow can give back your money at 8 months....
cattle rearing doesnt want someone who needs fast cash....if you feed well ...cattle is rewarding...challenge is when one does telephone farming.....
You will never hear Dangote and Masiyiwa saying cattle farming haina mari😂😂😂 anyways if cattle faming is not profitable we would not be having Montana, Texas etc - I mean its safe to say SUBSISTENCE FARMING won’t make you a millionaire…….his idea is good but he doesn’t have knowledge ye farming😂😅😅😅 even from a tax perspective - after a drought there is restocking allowance to help farmers among other things.

Dairy farming wangu unoitiza iwe inoda Mari yakawanda like to buy equipment and machinery and the standard of hygiene chete wangu kaa. Beef is way cheaper and less demanding to do than dairy. First put solar power otherwise mukaka wese unokora neZESA yedu iyi cz milking machines anoda power futi Hehedeee Dairy hauyi ziwee wangu
Never said it was easy or inexpensive my point is profitability on a small scale. Dairy unogona kutoita business ne mombe 10 other hand ne beef inenge iri hobby
Demanding yes, thats very true dairy is demanding. But its very doable at a small scale, hapana equipment yakawanda zvayo inonyanya kudiwa. The problem with us Zimbabweans is we want to start these businesses tiri pa level rana Mafuro or Red dane yet tinenge tisina mari yacho. Hatidi kutanha dzatinosvikira! Start small and grow. Start with what you have and what you can get. Keep it simple, kana mari yavapo then you go for state of the art equipment. Otherwise mombe haimborambe kukupa mukaka nekuti hauna expensive equipment. All you need are the right genetics, good nutrition and good animal healfh management. I encourage you my fellow brothers and sisters to take a leaf from our east African brothers and sisters how they do dairy farming. They keep it simple and are making money and progress. Watch youtube videos on dairy farming in Kenya or Rwanda, its amazing. Rural people are being empowered through dairy farming yet hear in Zim we want to start by investing in state of the art milking palours apo hatina kana cash zvedu to even buy one milking cow😂😂😂😂. Guess what, we are put off by the extremely high costs of such equipments and as a result we dont do anything and we die poppers. Our approaches to business are self defeating.
Kenyans, Rwandees and Ugadans stories are very inspiring. The other thing about these people is they share information so much to each other unlike this part of the world. In the process of information sharing they are also generating substantial revenues via TH-cam, facebook etc.
Dairy farming is not out of the ordinary. Its a very doable business by small scale farmers and is more profitable than beef cattle farming.
@@faraibeeyou are very correct! We need to open our eyes a bit. And with dairy you don't need vast tracks of land like that requires for beef cattle farming.
Great analysis
🙏🙏🙏

Interesting how people run to say haana ruzivo. Back it up with figures mune ruzivo. The topic needs more depth analysis for the majority to understand what he is saying.
Doc havana knowledge ye cattle ranching, more than half of millionaires in KNZ, Limpopo, Free State in S.A are cattle business even here in Zim check guys in matebeleland and mashonaland they are doing cattle and are rich
Takaona mombe ichitengwa R8 million, , ,
Then he doesn’t know
Huyai ka tiite video timboudzawo vamwe
This guy kupfuya mombe not cattle farming. Kuvaka imba yekumusha ne real estate market zvakasiyana don’t get confused with the two.
U ar looking on a small scale ther is diary farming.butchery,bull riding
Diversifying ur income revenues is not a bad thing to do
Interesting but the gentleman seems to lack knowledge about cattle farming, if you start off with 10 cows by the 3rd year u will have a very healthy balance sheet if u do things proper. You need numbers to make profits in cattle just like you need volumes in every business
Because if you have 10 cattle in 10 months time it's obvious you will have more than 15 cattle
Ngataure zve field yake izvo hana ruzivo nazvo ana Samlevy vaitova ne mombe

Its sad . Would you know sells go around 9 000 usd for a boran Brahman bull.
Goats there are farmers with a herd of 3 000. There many silent millionaires who are farmers just not big mouthed.
Thus his own assessment and iye ari kutawura becoz he is intrested real estate bt how much do you need kuti upinde ikoko, do enough research kwete kungo tawura, the reason why dzisinga wande kungoti padiki padiki taku tengesa kucover fees ini ndakayita mbudzi and profit yacho ndakayiwona
Apa paungana pfungwa dzakapinza dzega dzega!!
Thank you ☺️. Would you buy cattle? Do you think he is making sense?
Sinyo Boran is the one who bought the bull from SA, he has a good number of Boran stud animals, and he hasn't started selling yet. Farming is all about numbers and good stock.
@@sirkund I’m not sure if I can still buy cattle. He is making a lot of sense😇😇 Real estate has good money and risks are VERY LOW!! But starting ndoinorwadza….
@ yes that’s true. But ndazotya when he mentioned the risks. I just remembered when we were in LowerGweru early last month in the villages., when people were crying that their cows were dying of hunger because of drought
@sirkund it makes sense when you are buying for a feedlot , and makes more sense to those pushing stud breeding
Dai matibata takuratidzai production yemombe kwete nhema dzamuri kuisa idzo.
It's unfortunate this argument is coming at a time when there is a drive to grow the national herd. I would like to here from a cattle farmer from Muzarabani or a big ranch in Matebeleland, or even a consultant from CSC.
Mombe hadzina dhiri unless uchiita ma pure breeds

Farming is resource intensive - whether its horticulture, tobacco, wheat, soya beans or animal husbandry. You need at least $100 000 for it to be profitable. You need vast amounts of land. Few actually understand this. You have been misled negospel re"small-scale" - you are wasting your time if you are playing small
insurer your livestock you wont have any hustles on losses, varikudziita havapenge but investment returns and choices are different
This gentleman is not a fair representation of the cattle industry, and being a millionaire is not a qualification to disqualify the whole industry. its either you looking after cattle traditionally or you are farming cattle. His risk analysis was flowed to a certain extent, ngaangoti he chose a different kind of risk. lets hear from cattle farmers in the game not varikutaura dzemadzinza.
I have come to see or understand that cattle are like shares/bitcoin my ninja, especially if you doing them at a semi-subsistence farming scale ... you buy and you keep in the background. If done right ...they multiply favourably ...and when in a fix ... you can access them for funds. Shops , Houses etc where built during 2008 zim problems because of cattle ... just saying.
Commercially its a different case ... like in any farming you have to have an oufftaker of your produce ... locally or export market. It can be a self made offtaker .. or another business that you supply (if commercial ranching is your route and you are not a commercial breeder (which is also another different lane altogether)) .Having a ready market is important and I think that's why that white guy ... Nick Havercroft (Boustead Beef UK) .... was trying to "rebuild" (zim style) the old csc ( its old infrastructure ...buildings, abbatoirs, cold storage and farms etc .... network, contacts, brand to a certain extent). He was trying to scale up and make sure his business has the leverage it needs to take off. However it was not to happen because of "things" ...google the story.
The big farmers (this is my observation/opinion ...you can correct me) that typically make it are either in no rush to sell and make money (they have money already usually) ... its a long term game for them .... when they come to market they come and flood make they money and retreat ... OR ... the ones that want to make money ... have the infrastructure/network in place ( feedlot setup, offtaker, abattoir, one or all or even more of these) otherwise you will just be a hustler like all of us. Mind you these big farmers (Pilossof , York, Drummond, Debshan just to name a few) are not binary ...they have a mix or both commercial ranching and breeding ... depending on what works for them.
As a hustler farmer you lean on certain things to relatively make it (its not a given that it will all work but there is a good chance you can make something) ... either relatively good volumes of weaners (which needs focus in terms of maintenance of your herd and that you have buyers for those weaners at market time ... a good breed that is wanted everytime you go to auction ... good source of feed (planning is important here ... two three year planning ..due to drought and lack of rain in ranching areas) ... and proper policing in your area (cattle theft is a real killer for most farmers ... 5 cattle stolen is your blood and sweat down the drain)
Thanks again 👍
Poor interview
Apa hazvina kibuda apa kundai
Wrong advice. The moment you chose industrial farming you should have a solid business to win. Zvekuunganidza anenge ari ma1 ako
So if he invests $500 in real estate in the rural areas, will he expect a huge return on it? So why does he expect a huge return if he buys mombe dze $500 odzisiya kumusha nemukomana webasa.
I suspect you did this to court controversy and attract traffic to your channel. Because the whole argument just does not make sense. Infact, your failure to push back says a lot about you as well.
Tsano, hatisi kutaura mombe 20 dzinenge dzichifudzwa nemukomana kumusha iwe uri kuTown woti i am doing cattle farming.
That's not cattle farming. Mahumbwe.
How would you maintain the flock of goats to over 500????, you breed, maintain the flock and sell.
Handiwirirane nezvaikurukurwa na expert avo😂
This Dr does not even know the price of a cow. Why not just say i dont like farming and end there rather than discrediting other peoples hustle. Again Kundai him being a millionaire does not mean he knows everything and you believe every garbage he is telling you.
Kundai you have showcased rural farmers who have hundreds of goats. All of a sudden he is telling you there is no money and you are believing tbat nonsense. Nowonder why zimhos are backwards. Challenge his garbage. You visited a guy who is building a school from goat farming. Now this idiot dr tels you it has no monry and you are having second thoughts. Come on Kundai. You have witnessed success in farming mbudzi all of a sudden you are having second thoughts.
This guy says i dont keep mombe because kunoita drought. But he is willing to to do horticulture. What nonsense is that.
Just say mombe handidzinzwisisi. I like construction. But don't diss someones hustle
The worst interview on Kundai’s show from someone with no knowledge of the industry he now wants to give advice on, you think people would invest on a bull for over $3000 upto $40000 on something that doesnt give money comeon
@Bibkay am actually angry with @kundai. He has interviewed successful people who are doing mbudzi and mombe. Then this honorary Dr comes and he jumps sheep and change his mind. This is the kind of hero worshipping mindset that keeps Zanu pf in power displayed by Kundai
Why asking this guy about cattle, he's not knowledgeable in the area akatorasika
every business has its own risk factors. Whilst l do appricate his POV l dont think he is well versed with knowledge ye cattle farming/ranching. he needs maybe to have a sit down nana Philip. Also can you explain those that sell cattle dzema 20k value? maybe akutaura zve mombe dzema 300 but this is quite a biased view. commercial cattle farming is a whole industry on its own same as construction yacho.
Rhodesian cattle farmers were doing well, they had the knowledge, passion, market and professional distribution chain. Zimbabwe was exporting meat to the EU in 1980s. Just admit you know nothing. Land reform was chaotic, you got land and you are failing. You thought you would be overnight millionaires not knowing that farming is a tough job which needs a great deal of knowledge, equipment and resources. Government should have taxed the farmers or enforced BEE joint ventures to retain expertise rather than grabbing land and giving it to clueless people. Ukraine and Russia are feeding the whole of Africa and you are failing to manage a small plot.
Mombe dzinoda ma numbers dnt buy a few and expect to make money. Every business can make u money its how u strategize and whats yo buzz goal
This is absolutely rubbish. Ma tenderpreneur will always view any production as a waste of time. All they understand is tenders obtained via .....
He probably eats meat everyday. If he thinks kuti mombe hadzibereki, where is that meat coming from?
This guy doesn’t know and doesn’t have interest in livestock
mangouya ne munhu who owns makombi, knowledge yake yakawandira kumuromo he needs exposure in farming...even ikoko ku Zim varipo who are rich ne cattle ranching
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 🙏🙏
