The PHD Ministries founder whose business interests span mining, agriculture, hospitality, and sports plans to extend the campaign to Bulawayo, Kwekwe, and Kadoma in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re bringing a philosophy that empowers residents of the Eastern Region to succeed in business,\u201d Magaya told journalists at the Golden Peacock Villa Hotel ahead of the Mutare Business Conference. \u201cMutare is a mining town, a farming hub, and a tourist destination. In 2008, we saw Russians and other international buyers coming here for diamonds, yet poverty persists. What we need is a shift in mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Magaya, who began his business journey as a teenager and made his first million at the age of 16, has ventured into several sectors, including diamond buying. He emphasized that success is tied to consistent habits and disciplined thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou attract money and greatness by changing your routines. As a border town, Mutare has high potential, if we embrace the right business practices,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through his 38 satellite centres spread across Zimbabwe, Magaya aims to provide a sustained support system for mentorship and spiritual growth as he rolls out the tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the well-attended Mutare event, Magaya shared insights into his entrepreneurial journey\u2014from launching his ministry at age 29 in Harare\u2019s Railton Club to building the Yadah Hotel in just six months. Today, his business empire includes Yadah FC, Heart Stadium, Chahwanda Stadium in Kwekwe, and multiple mining and agricultural projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He urged attendees to prioritize self-transformation: \u201cYour first asset is yourself\u2014but only if refined. Poverty is sustained by daily routines, just as wealth is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further encouraged accountability and productivity, saying: \u201cIf you\u2019re not paying someone\u2019s salary or school fees, you\u2019re not yet on the right platform.\u201d He contrasted \u201cOld Money\u201d\u2014those building generational wealth\u2014with \u201cNew Money\u201d\u2014those focused on popularity\u2014and called for unity between both entrepreneurial approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Addressing business scalability, Magaya explained: \u201cLocal products pay rent. A continental reach makes millionaires. Global penetration creates billionaires. If your product can\u2019t attract a millionaire\u2019s endorsement, forget about making millions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He ended with a message on the power of networks: \u201cYour business must be so effective that others become its ambassadors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mutare stop blended spiritual inspiration with actionable business strategies, further energizing the momentum of a campaign that began in Harare. With 38 satellite centres supporting the initiative, Magaya\u2019s empowerment tour is set to leave a lasting impact on Zimbabwe\u2019s entrepreneurial landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesspeople and aspiring entrepreneurs can follow the progress of the tour via PHD Ministries&#8217; digital platforms and local centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"696\" src=\"https:\/\/thewasupost.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250707-WA0084-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thewasupost.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250707-WA0084-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thewasupost.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250707-WA0084-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thewasupost.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250707-WA0084-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thewasupost.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250707-WA0084-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/thewasupost.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250707-WA0084.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"697\" src=\"https:\/\/thewasupost.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250707-WA0092-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thewasupost.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250707-WA0092-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thewasupost.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250707-WA0092-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thewasupost.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250707-WA0092-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thewasupost.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250707-WA0092-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/thewasupost.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250707-WA0092.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Fanuel Chinowaita Mutare, Zimbabwe \u2013 July 7, 2025 Businessman and religious leader Prophet Walter Magaya has taken his entrepreneurial empowerment tour to Mutare on Saturday, continuing a nationwide campaign aimed at reshaping mindsets and boosting economic growth across Zimbabwe.
