Zimbabwean Hotelier Dr. Mati Nyazema - Part 3

Diaspora Food Stories

Steps away from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe is a beautity boutique hotel built from the vision of Dr. Matifadza Nyazema or Dr. Mati, former journalist and hospitality veteran.

She built Mbano Manor Hotel from the ground up over the couse of three years between 2016 and 2019, opening her doors in February 2020 right before the world shut down for the COVID pandemic.

But just as beautiful as the 18-room property with a one presidential suite is the story of vision, faith and determination to create a legacy agains all odds.

We are sharing her story over three episodes so get ready to be amazed and inspired, knowing that if you put your mind to something and really work to make it happen, it will.
