The Brand Zimbabwe team consulted Manicaland provincial stakeholders on their suggestion of a national brand and a number of ideas were expressed. The consultation was carried out to familiarise the province with the Branding process, listen and discuss their thoughts, opinions, questions, and concerns and pick up their brains on possible brand ideas. The Principals came up with different themes that can lead to centrals idea and below are some of the suggested themes made in the meeting:

• Breadbasket of Africa
• Zimbabwe a House of Stones(Dzimbadzemabwe-Great Zimbabwe monuments)
• the shiny beacon of Africa
• the rising star of Africa
• an emerging giant

While the suggestions provided are excellent starting points, they are certainly not the final answer to a country’s brand identity. There’s so much more to discover and explore when building a strong national brand that accurately represents a country’s unique culture, values, and aspirations.
