The sad story of the returnees to the continent. Africa as a continent is suffering from MORAL BANKRUPTCY! His story is the story of many returnees from different African countries. It is heartbreaking,and discouraging for those who want to return. We need a total mind shift
Very truth
It is well Augustine. You will surely rise again
True
The moral bankruptcy part😢😢. People forget that it's a win win situation.
Yes there is a way
I think this guy should start his own TH-cam channel and document his rebuilding series. He is well spoken and has a likeable personality. He could be a source of information for lots of diasporans.
He has one already
@@Knox-BezaleelTobiaswhat is his channel?
He has already..it's called Ruwa Organic Farm
There are lots of people in Zim from UK, America etc doing very well in their businesses. We have become good friends with some of them through church. So we can give advice, ideas and suggestions to each other. A couple recently bought a land to build a house. They were helped with which lawyers to use and appointed someone who was in the diaspora as a power of attorney. Don't do this relative business. They'll ruin you. Retired nurse, midwife, health visitor, Bsc Hon degree in Psychology - East London university. Now a Montessori preschool teacher. Stay blessed.
Is there a way we can donate to this brother? Zambia and Zimbabwe are like brothers and sisters. Being in the UK myself with business back home in Zambia, I know it takes a years for it to start making profit. What has helped with mine is that am still here and been pumping money from this side. I just hate to see anyone that relocated back to Africa fail.
🇧🇼🙏
❤❤❤ you have a heart of gold
God bless you dear
Yes, you can create a Go fund me for him
Farming is business you need to be there for your self
He didn’t fail. The project failed. You can do it my brother. I am rooting for you. May God give you the wisdom and strength to continue.
Do not just pack and go back home but please do prepare in advance. Build your home. A good simple fully furnished nice comfortable house, not necessarily “ mansions”, You dont need that, you dont need upstairs, you don't need 29 bedrooms, you dont need to show off. You have lived a life in the diaspora especially UK, Aussie, USA, and its time to live easy. Live in the rural. Do grow enough to sustain you and family. Borehole, solar and off road vehicle 💯
Well said
I agree with you.
True👏👏
Well said @gracesibanda1696❤!
Well said
Thank you
I pray that God lift this guy back stronger than before. I like his enthusiasm and energy. May God give him a huge come back.
Amen to that
What a genuine bloke, ndivo varume vacho ava,he failed and admitted it,now he is at it again..keep it up super star,you will be back up soon.
This is what most of us, diaspora fear. Returning home and failing. And having nothing to show the world. I salute this gentleman for his honesty and for sharing his journey- we all learn from this
Well said 🔥
There plenty of opportunities in zim I’m also in the middle of relocating back home, I’ve been spending a lot of time in zim over seeing my projects personally. Don’t let this guy’s failures put you off, this guy was very naive in how he went about things.

@silverback1tv what i like about him he accepts his failures
@@mikelsibs492 but there where too many unnecessary mistakes, almost unbelievable, I just hope they’re not just lies he’s telling his mrs after wasting monies on zim 🍑😂😂
I live in USA i go to my country guinea 🇬🇳 2021 for goat farming. 🐐 i spend more then 20.000$ for hous and i pay 150 goat i spend three months in guinea i left people's behind me .when i come back two to three mothers they sale all my goats 🐐 and damaged my farm . It's good lessons for me . I when back and start over but all my employees now all come from different country. Alhamudulilah im doing well. My advice is avoid local people's..
Wow brother I am saddened by your story. I am à Guinéen myself living in Philadelphia. I am also making plans to go to coyah and start my farm. I like to learn from you if possible. Teaching me on how to avoid some mistakes
Totally agree avoid local people at all cost.
Especially people that know you. Family, friends, neighbors etc..they underestimate you
@@telezib203
100 % truth. I saw that in my nephews business. Had all his sisters working in his restaurant. Difficult.
" They knew you when you had nothing. What do you want to prove. Who are you to tell them what to do"
You are right
I've got a well in Granary which is 10meters and i paid $120.00 well doesn't cost alot . Brother people are taking advantage because they're in your area and they know that you've money. Don't give up but try to bring people from far away who can help don't use people in your area.
The best interview ever. These days we always want to hear success stories and get motivated, but we learn a lot from hearing stories of failure. We learn by understanding challenges in business we want to venture into. This has changed the whole plan I had, now I gotta take it slow.
Thank you Kelvin.
Wow , 👏👏👏🫡
Very true
I applaud this guy, many people don't want to talk about their failures, I'm still in Britain and terrified of the idea of Zim, I've got no plan and on zero 😢
Don't be. Market research is very important and remember the vision is YOURS. People can mislead you
True to that,l have nothing here in South Africa and to be honest I am afraid to go and start in Zimbabwe
Don't wait too long go and start with whatever you have....
@@shadreckpaulo4752 don't waste your time doing nothing. It's better to admit your position and find another way that works better. Don't remain were there is nothing. Make a plan and find your way out
25:11 This is a real man who is accountable and accepting responsibility for not doing well. I believe your comeback will be epic.
This is the best episode I have seen on TH-cam in a very long time. You flipped the narrative. The problem is these videos of people who always claim to be successful. Let's also hear from those who have failed. This is a good programme
Wow lm happy you like it
True its good to hear from both sides
This man was interviewed by Wodemaya. He was just starting. Rise up, my brother.
Thank you :)
I saw it and was happy for him but now really. Our people are bad not only to diasporas but even to the locals. They are failing employers to their kids.
@spicylife3792 Imagine the monies he put in. People will pay for their bad deeds someday.
Thanks for this video Kelvin and the Farmer. I am also a farmer with my husband in South Africa. We have had some failed projects due to cultivar, pest, disease, market issues, hiring local farm workers and we have been scammed as well. I've just realized that challenges faced by all emerging farmers are similar whether you are in Zimbabwe or South Africa. Once you are a farmer giving up is not always an option. If we all give up who is going to feed our generation.
Well said
"....time, it moves so fast".
That is the honest truth about living in the west (USA here). Just got back from 6 months in Zim and the peace and relaxation i felt was amazing.
Well said
Just never give up bro, u motivated me n I'm into it now so ,I ain't gotta see u retire so early,, I like all the lessons u learnt afterwards n we also did learn here from u ,,, ## kip it up bro..
So much respect for this brother, its not over yet until its over. Hands down for you my brother, never give up. Keep going it shall be well with you, Zambian love coming your way.
The brother is strong and has a positive attitude. He must definitely keep on going.
Indeed he has endured. Very Strong Man
That is what is going to take him far❤
I like his positive altitude big up Brother Jah will bless u abundantly 💪
I felt so encouraged by the way he is open enough to us
Really appreciate. He is very realistic and telling the truth. Thank you
What defines us is not our failures but what we did when we failed . I have so much respect for this man. When I saw him on Wode Maya’s video and as I watch him on this page he is still inspiring me. If you read this my brother please continue your journey you will make it.
ITS PAINFUL BUT THIS MAN WILL COMEBACK STRONG
Indeed 🔥
No pain no gain
For sure. He's a great fighter
@@kelvinbiriotiYou have a lot of contacts that are in this field please put him in contact pane kwawaenda kuna Mhamha Vaugirard farming nevana vavo
@@kelvinbiriotiwhen people see you trying to achieve your dreams .Theyw ill try to block you even spiritual .our brother should pray about everything tat has happened in his life
This man should not giveup. He should learn people's way of milking money from that side, i feel they took advantage if his ignorance towards pricing. He will surely make it. He should be there 100% and consult from those who have done it before. Locals everywhere are capitalist and agree to almost knowing everything.
This is a true documentary worthy respect... please @Kelvin dig more of this such stories, because they are the real inspiration, and actuality to have breakthrough. even for those who are in Zimbabwe trying to relocate to the countryside suffer these consequences, Kudos to the spirited man he has a will to bounce back, I'm sure it is also a learning curve for those who are retiring from a civil servant perspective.
Its good to start small and grow and it gives you chance to learn thank you my brother for this i have learnt a lot
Most people wouldn’t even laugh or smile the way he does after losing so much money. Keep pushing, enjoy every step of the journey, also journal down all the lessons learnt so you won’t keep losing money from the same mistakes.
My bro what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. Muchishona ndiri kuti chakachenjedza ndechakatanga. Now from here, you will be the most successful farmer that you have always wanted to be. I like your energy. Forwards ever, backwards never. Asante Sana!!!!
Best nuggets and reflections are shared here. It's not easy managing projects from a distance, but the best lessons to pick from are those you encounter when you venture into something. What is important now is to pick up the lessons and correct course. Thanks for opening up and sharing your experiences, will surely take advantage of some pointers here and avoid some of the mistakes we are already making whilst out here and planning slowly going back home or otherwise.
He has the attitude of a winner. Such a person who can laugh in adversity is a success story in the making
From the time I started watching this video I could tell that my brother was too much in a rush. So when he said it himself I realised he really learnt his lesson..... you were too much in a rush. So from now, always ask the other seasoned farmers for references on anything that you might want to do. Don't just pick artisans/suppliers. I am also into farming... Keep going bro!!
Revisit the 3-Ps in Business. Product,Process & People.The last 2 got the brother in trouble
Actually they are 4 Ps

Kelvin you are doing justice to our country. Thank you soo much
Im so grateful for this
Agustine never give up.we need to meet one day.
This guy is telling the truth and the fact that he's not giving up hes going to be big coz he has learnt the lesson and now he knows better therefore will do better. Thank u for sharing this coz many are suffering in silence
This guy motivated me to start my farming journey am broken man
This is the best interview about farming in Zim I have seen so far. Well played from both guys. Best wishes Farmer. You will prevail. Keep pushing
Yes maan I remember seeing this guy with Wodemaya and things were really good for him.
My brother it’s part of life, we fall we gather our strength and rise up again and it’s good you mentioned it yourself “failing is part of success”. The failure you have experienced will propel you to your success. It shall be well with you my brother.
Cheap is expensive my bro. Never ever give work to unqualified and inexperienced local people even your own brother its a SCAM! We all learn the hard way and thank you for sharing this invaluable information WE LEARN WE MOVE. Side note# Focus on what you have now which is the LAND. Best Wishes bro
Exactly 💯
We should normalise signing contracts not kungo taurirana. If things do not work out there is no recourse.
Education z expensive luv especially doing shortcuts, $40000 for farming lessons taught by mbavha and now u doing it the channel 👏🏿 I respect u man after what u went through it seems u are coming back like a phoenix 👊🏿
Giving up not an option, once you have started. Well done bro.
This is very encouraging ! Bro , you're on your way to success! Love from Zambia.
Research is the major factor he had to overlook. He was supposed to master african livity first and forget about Europe. Nevertheless this guy is one of many who inspired me to jet into farming,. And am happy that in a few am starting to harvesting from my orchard.
Goodluck bro, experience will take you far
Wow! Thank you for sharing. You will rise again my brother. Will pray for you 🙏
Kelvin....this is a very brave video. Showing an unfortunate situation. Mr Ruwa Organic is so brave to front up on this video. The naysayers will blast you for showing negativity and being unpatriotic, for saying sezvazviri. Thanks for educating us.
I wish both you Mr Ruwa and yourself all the success.🙏
I am verry sorry for that situation. That is a good lesson to learn
Respect to you my brother for sharing and good luck you will succeed
true
Kudos to this guy! Failure is a tough pill to swallow, but the lessons learned from it can be invaluable in the long run. It takes courage to acknowledge the missteps and mistakes, but it also opens up a world of opportunities for growth and success. By being honest with himself and recognising the areas where he could have done better, he's setting himself up for a brighter, more informed future. I commend his honesty and the fact that he's using his experience as a stepping stone, rather than allowing it to defeat him.
Thank you for those words.
Dear Brother, I am Rooting for you and family in your endeavours. Now that you have learnt Valuable lesson well well. Now focused, with clear vision of how to get things done. Appreciate your honesty, notes do , your homework on what you want to do (dont cut corners) and start small and grow steadily. ❤
This is brilliant. Kudos to him for such a candid outlook. Its unfortunate that your fellow zims will put you down like this. Another reason why a lot of people hesitate to go back to invest in zim
You still inspire me brother.Our economy is such bad that we need people like you to motivate us enterpreneur
it's so sad but I am sure this brother will make it, he will not just succeed but he will prevail and thrived
Your honesty is a breath of fresh air.
I am a farmer myself who is based in Zambia.
I have faced my fair share of challenges, losses and failures 🤦🏿♂️.
But on the bright side we farmers are built of sterner stuff. We dust our work suit, accept the failure, learn and build from our past failure. And find ways to overcome
Galamukani 👊🏿👊🏿.

👏👏👏
Fellow folks, in commenting may I propose we exercise some empathy, kindness, ubuntu however we can express that.
The Admin should just delete insensitive comments 😢
This is great content. Although it's great showcasing the success stories, it's also imperative to show the other side of the coin so people are aware of the potential risks with relocating home. It's very easy for people to say "come home" but like this man, most of us don't have a clue on what to do let alone avoiding "failure and losing a lot of capital along the way". Balanced conversation are required....great job
When the next wall is built make sure there is steel is in the foundation make sure it is deep enough .
Great video mr Birioti. We rarely see these kind of videos on youtube. You are a good reporter. Stay on the path.
Thank you so much
From Tanzania i think in africa if you start investing people that will help u they must be inspected closely
Thank you so much my brothers we learned a lot from this honest opening eye.I greatly appreciate
So informative, thank you guys. Keep on sharing real content like this.
Same happend to me brother. We should take heart. Family and frends pull you down. You will be up again.🐓🐔❣️💕💞👍👌💘💜💗❤️ 💙💘
Thanks 😀
Im watching from South Africa. Finally starting a urban small farm
So painful ... never give up keep moving forward, every successful person has a painful story behind ,I have been scammed too , several times by strangers including my family while staying in SA trying to have great business home ,though SA its nearby I was busy working overtime and doing plenty side hustles to push target of very successful business to leave SA ,now I have fear on trusting people doing my things slowly by myself ,I believe one day I will bounce back and find faithful people to work with .
Don`t give up. Finish the journey. Very educational.
Siwa sivuka. I love that spirit.
😊😊
This was me in 2017 and I quit.. I lost a lot of money .. but you outlined the lessons I learnt too , I just did not have the words to describe my experience 😢.so thank you and thank you for not giving up
It's so unfortunate that he lost so much money but i believe that's a lesson learned, he is gonna come back stronger. We also learnt from him now we know the obstacles
True very true
Hard Time Never Kills .I like the Sprit.l have been through a lot as well.But l will never give up in farming 🙏
good video birioti stay humble road to million subscribers watching from Abu Dhabi
Yes Sir. Thank you
A great lesson learned. You are not alone brother.. am starting everything afresh too just across the border. Relatable!
Pole sana for what you went through,I watched your video at WodeMaya don't worry it's progress thank GOD you have encountered these challenges early
Even here in Tanzania 🇹🇿 chicken are not enough I was shocked when I visited Zanzibar and find out they are importing kuku from Turkey.
There a lot to learning most African they or we are envy and this is poverty mindset they are looking at you failing and say you're tough head in Swahili kichwa kigumu.
I faced a lot of similar challenge when I started my small peanut butter industry,people give you false information because they want to get money out of you they don't value the system to get money but want money
Africa Africa Africa we need to change
Africa need change 🙏
Eish i remember bumping into his youtube channel when it was still new..i remember being so inspired akomana..asi vanhu ku Zim ngavasadaro this guy had a very big productive vision.shout out to him for not givinv up..He has his youtube channel called Ruwa Organic Farm.
I appreciate your talk gentlemen and its an eye opener to me .I really respect the attitude of my brother in red cap, no matter what he went through, he still find the power to laugh on his mistakes. Believe me, when he bounce back people will be shocked . Respect to Kelvin for such an uplifting video. Thats man's stuff now. You got yourself a subscriber. 👏
Thank you so much 😊😊👏
Thank you so much.
Thank you, Mr., for the great lessons
Kutaura chokwadi ndadzidza kuti kuenda ku Zimbabwe nemari yandinofunga kuti yakawanda kutamba nenguva and thanks nekuti vhura pfungwa 🎉❤❤❤
Very good this guy I saw he was doing well now I'm surprised that he is gone down to the drain
The problem I we need to start big to get big returns, do a research before invest .Most of the people in Diaspora they have money ,but research is lacking .Engage experts and your projects will be ok .
Why not do a project as a team of Diasporans
The things is individualism, and people they don't need others to success, I have worked diasporans and I have noticed this ,they think that they know everything and they rely on reading articles .Practically it totally different
Am now very sure that this man will not fail because he now has much knowledge about what he wants and experience
Thank you for sharing ❤
I Appreciate you so much Deliwe😊
It's unfortunate it did not work out as you planned. But I encourage you not to give up my brother, - just as you said.
I was inspired by your video with Wodemaya. We learn as we go. Thank you for this video, I've learnt a lot, (again).
This gentleman is going to come back even stronger💪
This guy is so brave and real to be coming out like this💪
True 🔥
This is very motivating to us at Disland.... Thanks for sharing
I watched this from Boston where i have been, myself for over 20years. And I approve everything you said about living abroad. The fact that you came out and showed your failures says a lot about your integrity and has continued to teach us all on how to navigate the anticipated”great return”. Living abroad is not for forever for most people. Thanks again Kelvin as always for this video
I am not surprised at this outcome….This the comment I put on your Wodemaya video
“Zim can be hit or miss. I know a person who worked very hard from about 2001 to 2018 in diaspora. And this was a person in formal high paying job. Sent children to school/Uni, bought 2 big plots, invested heavily in a farm. Left diaspora life to fully focus on Zim business. Only lasted 2 years, now 2022 they are back in their formal job in diaspora. Experienced huge loses in Zim due to, currency changes, people not honoring contracts, market fluctuating and many more. At some point they lost 20k usd. So one needs to be very careful when planning.....all the best Sir”
So true . I try to tell people not to have tunnel vision but iiii .
Now I keep my mouth zzzzzzzp.
Zimbabweans fear and respect anything white. Just partner with a white person nom pf those farm workers will steal.
Put a white lady on the front desk and all of a sudden ppl pay up. We are so colonised and we are our worst enemy.
You can hv your plan to the T but the workers will make sure u fail.
he will bounce back.lets encourage him a bit
Also government importing affects local farmers because sometimes they are cheaper or a lot into the country.
I must say man I love what u have done with this video i have learned a lot from u both ma big Gs n i realize that i still have to equip self on some (most) qualities of being a well sufficient n profitable farmer... 99,9% of what u have been discussing have safed thousands (me included) of people from failing into the same mistake meaning learning from your story u have improved or increased the chances of me making it as a new farmer...❤
Thank you for your honesty! I stumbled across your video and it is so knowledgeable. I am from west Africa but live in the US and is currently in the process of cultivating a farm land for livestock and all that you said is so true about our people in Africa although I have not yet experienced some of the things you went through but I am praying that you pull through and I believe you are going to because you have the knowledge and the passion for farming . Thank you and may God blessed you in your endeavor ! I also prayed that your video reaches people in the diaspora that’s looking for a way out of the western world!
KB thank you for this informative video. I watched this guy with Maya and I was hoping he's now big. I believe he will bounce back.
Thank you so much for watching 😊👏
Very inspiring. You are a success. Failure is a precursor to success. Well done. Use what you have learnt to build your future success. Sorry you have had this experience in our own African continent
To succeed in farming in Africa, be involved in everything, even though they are constructing, get a chair and sit and watch, wood for construction, go where they buy it, because, these Africans can steal, am African too though
You are very right
My brother don't give keep trying you will succeed
Agriculture and Mining is the only way to go in Zimbabwe.
Thanks. This was more inspiring than the I succeded episodes. So much to learn from failure. I wish this guy the best
Everbless family tv TH-cam channel is so inspired with your videos God bless you always
Wow thank you so much😊🔥👏
One thing which we don’t consider as we start any business is marketing. Its one thing having a product e.g chicken and its another thing having the market. So its important to do market analysis always before you venture into any business
Thank you so much for these insightful tips .Love the interviwees honesty .We are learning.The Lord will replenish what you lost in ten thousand fold .Amazing interview . Thank you .
Thank you so much for this episode, we are learning
