An Ethical Expose for Economic Development Zimbabwe: Case in Entrepreneurial Skills by Crossborder Traders, 2005-2015.

Abstract

The economic and political ambivalences that affected Zimbabwe between 2005 and 2015 saw the extrinsic development of immoral informal cross-border entrepreneurship in the troubled citizens as they endeavoured to eke a survival. This research investigates the tribulations that created the flaws that militated against the trade during this period of economic-politico crises. The research used the triangulation methodologies to tap into the informants’ data sets. Thus interviews, questionnaires and participation observation were basically employed to gather the data for this study. The study appropriates analytic interpretivism, analytic philosophy within an enculturation hermeneutical framework with a view to fully comprehend the phenomena in question.  The study establishes that the moral repugnant strategies employed to outwit the challenges were politically generated. It, therefore, argues for a fusion of ethics into informal cross-border trade for sustainability in Zimbabwe’s developmental strategies.
