Project and Order Finance for Resellers
EMMIN NETWORK FINANCE
AND CREDIT MODALITIES
We would like to be the leading reseller network for goods and
service. Our self-serve network allows you to market and sell goods and
services though out Zimbabwe. The resellers who are already on the ground will
sell your services and goods direct to the market. This allows you to have wide
market coverage without incurring further costs on staff and distribution. But
first, here are a few tips to help you get started.
1. What Is EMMIN reseller network?
The network enables clients to distribute any type of their
branded goods and services directly to the consumer. You can learn more about
the network and how to use it on my blog www.edmorembuzanamlambo.blogspot.com. The network allows people to sign up as resellers for
suppliers on our list. Suppliers can start their marketing campaign using our
resellers on the ground or on approved reseller points.
2. Our resellers can be your merchandiser
Our resellers can recruit merchandise staff
on the ground and can be part of your marketing campaign. Suppliers can contact
me for details on campaign financing and other modalities.
3. Request A Line Of Credit (LOC)
Before you can get your marketing campaign up and begin
promoting yourself as a reseller, you’ll need to request a line of credit. This
would allow you to get goods and services direct from suppliers. Once you’ve
requested an LOC, you can either prepay your campaign or apply for credit using
our credit application route. I can act as a guarantor on order finance with
your bank.
4. Prepayment Or Credit Application
Once you’ve applied for an LOC, you’ll need to either pay cash or
fill out a credit application. Credit applications typically take a few days to
approve, but credit card prepayment and cash will have you up and running
today.
Thanks again for signing up; we are excited to see you on your
way to the top!
Sincerely,
Edmore Mbuzana Mlambo

THE NEW FARMERS AND THE NEW THREATS
Over the past decade, farmers in the Middle Sabi Valley, in Chipinge, have been battling to have affordable water for irrigating their fields. The valley is home to one of the wheat growing regions in the Zimbabwe. The new farmers in the Middle Sabi Valley have been caught between local politics, foreign agricultural interests with racial grudges against black farmers and uncoordinated government intervention. I have tried to highlight the main threats to progress and development in the Valley in this short article.
THE WATER AND ELECTRICITY COST THREAT
I have met with individual farmers in who are worried about the situation they are in. They hope for a solution that would draw on both basic business sense and economics: The water supply in the valley depends on electricity which makes it very expensive. Farmers have observed that 300ml of Coke is cheaper than the 300ml 0f water from ZINWA, which follows that it would be cheaper to irrigate their fields with bottled mineral water!
Farmers are negotiating for affordable rates for both electricity and water with the relevant authorities. The farmers are now seeking government intervention to curb the extortive rates charged by the two utilities who as everyone knows are saddled with excess staff which are overpaid. The cost of labor of the two utilities is not only a threat to the farmers in Middle Sabi but to all in industry and commerce. This threat has also been identified in the Zimasset policy document and the government has yet to intervene.
The idea is simple: Reduce the labor costs of these utilities. Make a relatively painfully decision now to obtain cheaper and affordable water and electricity in the future, and ensure the future of agriculture, industry and commerce in Valley. Once electricity and water cost less the move will produce a host of other benefits, including improved water supplies for local communal farmers and business centers in the Valley.
THE MULTINANATIONAL CORPORATION THREATS
Farmers in the valley have been approached by MNCs to lease out land or to be outgrowers and politicians sometimes see large foreign agricultural interests as the enemy. This is a result of our historic experiences with the same corporations before our land reform program. We still have the memory of institutionalized exploitation that happened before and after our independence. These threats are still real and it is the government which must safeguard the individual farmers, by coming up with a policy framework to counter it.
Government through the Ministries of Agriculture, Finance, Industry, and Commerce has not in any way assisted the new farmers in Middle Sabi. The farmers are missing out on opportunities that could have far-reaching effects. The farmers want the government to negotiate and come out with effective agricultural programs which will increase bottom-line growth for the new farmers, small businesses downstream and the large multinational corporations in the Valley.
It is a fact that over the year’s business has flourished with the assistance of multinationals and foreign investment. The investment by Greenfuel in the Valley, for example, has seen the population of the Valley rising above poverty. This investment has benefitted the rural folk in the Valley.
The government can actual approach the multinationals and sell the investment opportunities that the Middle Sabi Valley can offer. The government must champion long-term investments in the Valley and should listen closely to what the multinationals and the new farmers want.
THE THREAT FROM CHANGE
Change is the threat to any status quo. The new farmers have to change and government policy has to change. It is this threat- the change in policy- that has been difficult to put into practice. Historically, politicians and bureaucrats in government have done a better job of speaking to one another than to businesspeople (here I mean the new farmers and the multinationals). The three parties need to get better at communicating their positions and to prioritize development of the Valley.
LAST PLEA TO THE POLITICIANS AND THE BUREACRATS
Local politicians should consider the business opportunities of making investments in the Valley. I know they do not. I do not think the politicians should tell the Valley community how to run their farms or businesses. Politicians and bureaucrats should listen to what the new farmers’ want- and promote policies that will benefit the Valley.

Of Cecil the lion, Sanctions and Guns #Blacklivesmatters
For the record Cecil the lion was a hunter and all those anti-hunting lobbies should ask the University of Oxford research team how many animals he killed before the good American dentist shot him. Me thinks the dentist shot one animal illegal and Cecil killed illegal a lot of animals in his lifetime (over 100 I guess).
I am more worried of the risk the good dentist getting shot by some gun totting fellow USA citizen in his home country than one more lion being short in Hwange National Park.
I am a Zimbabwean and more people have died and continue to die because of sanctions imposed by the same people who are crying over Cecil. We do not have WWF for the black people of Africa so those animal, anti-gun and anti-hunting lobbies should have us on their endangered lists.
Farewell Cecil the Lion,
Welcome the foreign currency,
Lift the Racist Sanctions,
God bless the Good Dentist.
