“Small investors need to see that their participation matters. That is how trust in the market is built.” – Thapelo Tsheole, CEO, Botswana Stock Exchange

Extract from “Now Here’s the Proof! – 3 July 2025 by VFN”

“Stories of how some investors got their start by engaging with our content, got encouraged into taking that first step of opening an account & then the next step of actually investing, then became active participants in the growth & development of our country & continent through the capital markets.

This action by the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) stands as a clear testament to the collective efforts of many who have worked to spotlight the market & advocate for greater retail participation.

We hope that those who are watching from the sidelines (issuers & prospective issuers, regulators, policy makers, hesitant investors, etc) will be inspired to create more opportunities that include & uplift retail investors in such meaningful ways.”
