Great to see one of the men who picked me from the golf course. Supported entry level position in to banking for me. Livingstone would always say to me ' the ball is in your court Tawanda'. Fast forward now an employer in Europe and still learning a lot from him. Would really love to carry his golf bag again.

This was a great conversation. Mr. Gwata is very modest for all of the accomplishments he has under his belt. It is to his credit that FBC is one of the few home grown banking institutions that did not go under during the banking crisis in 2004 and this discussion with him showed why: owner management in banks is not a good idea. The tycoon factor in banking is not desirable and to stick to good practices in the business. I am an embryonic banker myself so this bill of your show was a very special one. Thank you.

Met this gentleman once and all he did was a good spirited humor with a friend and I still remember that so well that I even once opened a business account with FBC on that, what a down to earth gentleman, thank you Trevor for picking the real gems from our time, if these were our political leaders…..Singapore would be envious of us!

Well spoken Livingston, my Mutumba primary school colleague, out in Madziwa. We went through a lot bro, in then Rhodesia, to come out and survive in an economy that was meant for only white professionals. You reminded me of being thrown out of then Salisbury Polytechnic A level academic studies, because it had come under the then Ministry of European, Asian and Coloured. Education. The need to survive was the driving force. Great interview. Prof. Mike Mbizvo

@@jekesainjikizana9734 Very good suggestion, Jekesai. We need to. Coming out of that system was not easy. Indeed we need kunyora ma book or video record what it was like. Standard 6 was the first major barrier, as less than 5% proceeded to the few high schools, from where less than 1% could proceed to A levels. The basic training was to make you a literate subordinate worker or servant, and you were victimized for aspiring to go beyond. Expulsions were a common feature following student strikes. I salute our never giving up fathers and mothers, who pushed the frontiers.
