Integral Kumusha: Renewal of the Zimbabwean Economy via Nhakanomics

Our next dialogue in the Transformation Journey series with Dr Daud Shumba Taranhike.
Dr Taranhike narrates his journey of transformation that brings out the spirit of Ubuntu and Nhaka (Heritage or Legacy) in a Shona cultural context.
Daud Shumba Taranhike is the creator of the theory and practice of the Integral Kumusha which is a holistic transformative approach to liberate the majority of the African indigenous people who live in the rural communities in Zimbabwe and within other African countries. The rural communities are considered places for the poor, the uneducated, and the marginalised, and hence productive people migrate to the urban areas in search of employment and better livelihoods. The research to innovation developed a socio-economic model that is anchored on the indigenous African cultural practices blended with exogenous knowledge and practices to help transform the rural communities towards self-sufficiency and allow the people to actively participate and contribute to the national mainstream economy.
As a result, the research has started promoting rural migration and bridging the common rural/urban, poor/rich, traditional/modernity, public/private, and racial divides that have been in existence for many years. This innovation resonates with the majority of the African people and has provided a unique integral rural enterprise as an alternative to the Western corporate firm at a micro level and an alternative economic system to the neo-liberal economic approach at a macro level, which has been termed Nhakanomics which is an economy based on legacy (Nhaka in the Shona language) and integrality.
