Zimbabwe’s real estate and farming sectors are seeing increased interest and investment attributed to Zimbabweans abroad, with social media playing a growing role in shaping where money goes. Multiple reports describe how diaspora-linked viewers and potential investors are being influenced through content shared by young Zimbabwean creators. Al Jazeera and New Zimbabwe focus on two digital influencers, Kundai Chitima (31) and Kelvin Birioti (20), who run separate social media channels and have built audiences that track property and agricultural opportunities. The coverage suggests that posts highlighting specific projects, locations, or investment possibilities can affect viewers’ decisions, effectively turning online platforms into a channel for investment guidance or discovery. While the reports frame social media influence as a key factor behind current trends, they also indicate that the broader driver is diaspora investment itself—Zimbabweans living outside the country are directing more capital into domestic real estate and farming. The outlets do not provide detailed figures in the excerpts provided, but they present a consistent picture of online content increasingly intersecting with diaspora capital flows.
