Portuguese Food Chain Backs Zimbabwe's Online Stars.
A restaurant wants to help people who make videos and photos on the internet. Chicken Hut plans to start this work tomorrow. The company thinks Zimbabwe could make $50 million from online content in five years.
The plan starts on a big day for African trade. Four years ago, African nations began working as one market. Zimbabwe joined this group, which lets 1.3 billion people trade across borders. The market could be worth $3.4 trillion.
Chicken Hut picked this special date on purpose. They want to help people who create things online share their work across Africa. Zimbabwe sits at the heart of this plan. The country hosts offices for Afreximbank, a bank that helps creative people succeed.
People who make things for the internet earn big money worldwide—$190 billion each year. Africa makes $3 billion of that. South Africa brings in $500 million every year. Zimbabwe hopes to catch up soon.
Last year, someone named "The African Finder" (his real name is Marvellous Nyongoro) showed how this might work. He made a video asking Chicken Hut to work with him. The company liked his idea and sent him to Cape Town. Later, he started working with a group that helps creative people called CANEX.
The world of online creators keeps growing. Chicken Hut thinks Zimbabwe can grow with it, and their new plan might help.
