Umguza Council Shares Exciting Investment Opportunities with Diaspora in the UK
On October 17, 2025, in the vibrant city of Birmingham, the Umguza Rural District Council made waves by showcasing a plethora of investment opportunities aimed at diasporans from Zimbabwe. This initiative was part of the annual UK-Zimbabwe Business Expo, an event organized by the Zimbabwe Diaspora Organisation (ZIDO). Led by CEO Collen Moyo, the council’s delegation included key figures such as executive officer Vusa Sikhosana and environment and natural resources officer Linda Moyo.
The event, hosted at the global headquarters of Diaspora Insurance, was a gathering of enthusiastic Zimbabweans living in the UK, all eager to explore avenues for contributing to their home country’s economic growth. Diaspora Insurance’s CEO emphasized their commitment to supporting the African diaspora worldwide, stating that their Birmingham location serves as a second home for Africans living abroad.
During the presentation, the council highlighted several attractive opportunities in the region. Real estate is a focal point, with projects like the upscale Kingsbury gated community taking center stage. Attendees learned about the potential for servicing and development in addition to thousands of residential stands available in locales such as Ntabazinduna and Nyamandlovu.
But the investment prospects don’t end with real estate! The council also unveiled opportunities in horticultural processing geared toward export markets, emphasizing the demand for fresh produce overseas. Water purification projects and plans for the development of a shopping mall were also discussed, showcasing a diverse spectrum of possibilities for potential investors.
This proactive outreach by the Umguza Council not only signifies a drive toward economic revitalization but also encourages diasporans to connect with their roots while contributing positively to Zimbabwe’s growth narrative. As the global landscape for investment continues to evolve, initiatives like these remind us of the indispensable role diasporans can play in their home countries.
For anyone looking to invest, this represents a golden opportunity to be part of Zimbabwe’s promising future.
