The book was launched last week at the National Art Gallery in Bulawayo.

It was published by Pathisa Nyathi of the Amagugu Book Publishers.

Critics say the book is likely to motivate Zimbabwe women in the business sector seeking to be their own bosses and is a must-read for success-hungry people.

The launch was graced by the Small and Medium Enterprise minister Sithembiso Nyoni, Nyathi, Nani’s family and friends.

The author thanked people who encouraged her to write the book and helped with her studies.

“I thank my family, friends and Pathisa Nyathi who encouraged me to write. He used to make us write short stories when I was young,” she said.

“I figured out there was nothing for women entrepreneurship and I thought of writing about it as a way of empowering fellow women businesswise.”

Nyathi congratulated Nani and encouraged people to buy and read the new book.

“The book is of very high quality and as publishers we had to match with Nani’s quality. I encourage others to write their works.

“We have to leave a legacy. The spoken word will never compete with written word,” Nyathi added.
