Zimbabwe once sat as a powerhouse alongside Africa’s biggest economies.
Over the past two decades though, Zimbabwean’s have been on an economic rollercoaster, experiencing crashes, strikes, hyperinflation and unemployment.
Millions of people left the country in search of guaranteed work and better wages. Many of them are still overseas.
However, in the last few months, the economy has shown the first signs of improvement.
The International Monetary fund has predicted growth of 6% this year. And the government is hoping for even better.
So, is Zimbabwe’s economy beginning to recover?
And is it enough to tempt people home?
