Air Zimbabwe: Can It Become a Successful Airline? Plus the Dairibord Takeover | Friday Drinks

In the first segment: Tinashe, Ranga and Rufaro discuss the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Zimbabwe (ICAZ) Winter School 2026, exploring the key conversations around the accounting profession, leadership and business practices. The conversation then moves to Air Zimbabwe — its return to the spotlight with direct flight to London, the importance of connectivity, and the bigger question: is there a sustainable business case for Zimbabwe’s national airline? Should the government be running an airline, or should national carriers be judged purely on commercial performance? Tinashe, Ranga and Rufaro debate the balance between national pride, public ownership and business realities. We also discuss Varun Beverages’ interest in acquiring a controlling stake in Dairibord Holdings, Zimbabwe’s largest dairy and food processor, and what the deal could mean for competition, consumers and local industry. What role should the Competition and Tariff Commission (CTC) play in major corporate transactions? Can Zimbabwe attract investment while ensuring fair competition? Watch Friday Drinks for insightful conversations on business, economics and the issues shaping Zimbabwe. Sponsored by Delta Corporation - 'Share a Coke' and join the conversation.
