Economy
The core business of Wedza was farming with it's aligned service industries until disruptions to commercial agriculture and ranching in the area. Often violent, the racist State sponsored 'Land Reform Project' 2000 of Zimbabwe saw white born Zimbabwean farmers being driven off their farms to a fate undetermined that in turn meant vast amounts of locally employed people lost jobs and livelihoods. However retailing had overtaken all else until the government brought in a pricing policy which was introduced with Operation Dzikisai Mutengo in 2007. The policy has rendered the majority of those fledgling businesses bankrupt and those still afloat have been failing to find adequate stocks and the regional economy has never recovered.
