KBA partnered Mtiya Dynamics (South Africa) in bringing the Gazelles program to Zimbabwe . The Zimbabwe National Gazelles is an SME flagship programme aimed at identification of and accelerating high growth entrepreneurial SMEs selected from all the 10 Provinces. The Zimbabwean chapter follows the South African programme that has been run over the last 3 years and the programme managers bring the wealth of experience from the South African programme after the program had transformed many SMEs in South Africa since its launch in 2016. ZB bank is the main sponsor of the program in Zimbabwe. The ZNG is designed to mitigate the numerous challenges which hinders many businesses to take off, grow to their full potential and graduate to become the large enterprises of tomorrow. These challenges include lack of access to finance, markets, mentorship and other critical business development services. In choosing to embark on this journey, the Gazelles as represented by their owners commit to hard work within their respective enterprises. Each business in this programme has the potential to build world-class, competitive businesses, to create new sustainable employment opportunities, to innovate and to revitalise specific industries from the ground up. They will also receive the training and mentorship that this programme will deliver over the next 3 years. Each year will see a new group of National Gazelles selected to begin their journey on the programme, as the existing National Gazelles progress towards final graduation. Ultimately, the National Gazelles alumni will be able to play a mentorship role for their new counterparts, at the same time forming a national network of business owners On graduation, this cohort can expect to become mentors to succeeding Gazelles in the years to come
