Very interesting. I love that Trevor actually lets his guests speak their mind.
😊😊😊😊😅😊
I love the positivity in Eddie Cross, very few people are like him in Zimbabwe, what a man! Full of hope and good intentions for a better Zimbabwe.
Its heartbreaking this channel has less than 100k subscribers yet its the most informing, educative and inspiring.
Politics tainted it
my pple perish becos they read the wrong information information or not at all.
Interesting insightful interview. There is an element of worshipping E.D. In Eddie but he has said something which ties E.D. to most of the atrocities under the old dispensation. He said E.D. was the brains behind Mugabe’s regime and he was also the chairman of the JOC which has terrorised Zimbabweans left right and center.
One of your best conversations Trevor.
This is the best interview on this show so far. Please do part 2 Trevor.
Best in what way when this madhala is lying
Retired from politics and also from principle....how do you separate Bob from ED?
The same way he has separated chamisa and mwonzora from morgan
a very interesting conversation Trevor, its good to see you back, had missed this wonderful weekly show. some quite interesting revelations from Eddie Cross.
Eddy Cross was very fair in his interview, i would listen to this interview all day.
I wish Trevor would do a part 2.
Trevor, after your well deserved break, this is amazing! Thank you.
Welcome back Trevor!
Thank you 🙏🏿
Eddy if being truthful. There is so much that happens behind the scenes that the public can only guess about
And yet there are contradictions in his statements. ED cannot be absolved of the sufferings Zimbabweans have endured under the JOC which has operated as a military Junta and he was the leader of it. Ed was also the head of the brutal electoral campaigns that saw many Zimbabweans maimed or killed. This is an attempt to whitewash the history of ED by a man who has admitted to having been paid by the subject of his book and the contents of the very book curated by ED himself. Trevor nailed it, it's a PR stunt. He says he likes being independent yet he is being paid to write a favourable book.
@@zimcoder Spot on.👍As usual Eddie Cross has thrust himself forward to defend the guilty just as Judas Escariot did for a bag of money.
"He is a seating President. There are things you can't write about." Why did you write a book that leaves out critical information?
Unonyepa fombo iwe
Exactly!!
Presidents have classified information which can hurt their image or countries security at large. With time it will be declassified

Welcome back Trevor. Insightful interview as usual.
Thank you Trevor for bringing them
Eddie is a smart guy , very smart .
Speaks with a forked tongue I say
I've only watched a couple of Trevor's shows and always felt they were just too long with little substance. But this one is a MUST for all Zimbabweans within and outside the country. It's a huge eye opener and I am, for the first time since the 'New Dispensation' seeing a ray of hope! Many thanks to Eddie Cross for his dedication to the country. May the 'New Dispensation' stay the course!
🤣🤣🤣 my people are very funny easily fooled. What a pity
in a country that boosts of high literacy, Trevor only has 24k subbies and passion 121 subbies guys come on...
There are other better shows to watch out there than this.
@@zulualpha4603 suggest
@@AlfredMahlavira its about content that you post on your channel that attracts pple.
@@albertmashoko7741 the context of my statement suggest that pple do not want to listen to what matters. i like the content . he brings in opinions from the pple operating our interests. unfortunately pple will always ignore whats important.
Welcome back Trevor 😃
Beautifil interview Trevor!! Zimbabwe is on the right track
ED was born on 15 Sep 1942 and was about 42/43 year old when Gukurahundi started - not under 30 Eddie.
I thought Joyce Mujuru was the youngest cabinet minister in Mugabe's first cabinet in 1980.
Forgive the old man. That’s a reflection of what age does to people.
@@Eyemoneysodium she was a deputy minister...there is a difference..even simba makoni was younger but he was also a deputy minister
@@colliuschiruka481 I have read somewhere that she was in fact a Minister of Community Development and Women's Affairs (1980-1985). Do Deputy Ministers feature on official cabinet photos, like the one of 1980?
He is deliberately destorting facts
Trevor,yours is a wonderful platform.i rarely misses it
Great stuff and insightful. Keep them coming. Much respect.
Missed these insigtfull conversation, thank you for this episode
Having listenedlaye last nite..I awoke early with the thanks that you and Eddie highlight the achievement of Rhodesia...you bring light back to.me of those many people of great vision and determination that existed within the sadness and misdirection..your lives are a bridging light.. of good !
Interesting discussion there, there is an element of realism in the views presented by the guest speaker and some great insight ..hard as it maybe to divorce from the pedestrian rhetoric pertaining to the current economic climate/recovery, one must applaud the gentleman for sharing his insights..
Very insightful interview
Thank you Trevor. It was an eye opener about our President and Economy.
Thanks my brother what great interview 🙏
Well done Mr. Ncube! this was spectaculars I enjoyed it . You are talented and I wish to acknowledge and thank the interviewing skills of allowing the guest to speak out his or her mind without interfering. Eddie Cross is a fountain of wisdom and I like his approach and wisdom. He is a manual for basic life skills apart from pouring a bit of his professional experiences with us. I wish if I could also meet him one on one to interrogate him. Well done! thank you!
Very insightful, realistic and informative interview full of wisdom from the two experienced participants.
Thank you
Shalom
Eye opening interview Trevor. Those with ears let them hear. Two things You did not ask. EC and DC MF arei being identified as the brains that formed the MDC to counter the Land Reform Program?
Secondly, The British Sold the land, Southern Rhodesia to BSA company headed by CJ Rhodes, now know as AAC for ,2 8 million pounds, as a top up to gold bullion loan the British to finance the first world war.
The British Sold disputed land They have an obligation to pay back. And honor the Lancaster house agreement. Zimbabwe is suffering because of these history happenings.
May follow up on these?
Very interesting interview, thank you for this episode Trevor.
Top form there Trevor, posing some really good questions.
Guy is clever. Call the guy on the streets in robert mugabe and talk to them they r the real economy. What wisdom
isimbi Eddy, i had judged him wrong for taking ED side, the guy has solid knowledge and experience jeez
@@d12cov38 He is a fair weather mate, a Judas Escariat in the first degree. Runs with the fox and hunts with hounds.
I wish Eddie would be given one more time to come back not necessarily to say he has been the best of other interviewers but I still feel he still have more to spit to us so that we can learn more .... hope you will caught me right.
So much love to the show. Thank you.
Welcome back trevor
i love the confidence when Eddie Cross is asked which book he recommends @ (1:15:48) 1hr 15mins 48sec,
inspiring.
Very insightful. Eddy give a fair assessment and we really need those skills transferred to our young people.
Welcome back Trevor, hope you are refreshed
good to have you back Mr Trevor
Thank you
So proud of this humble man
When he says ZIMBABWE IS THE FASTEST GROWING ECONOMY i skipped a beat.
Could that actually be true though? I look at so many other economies and I find it hard to believe this. I really do. Or maybe he meant we are the fasted growing in the special class maybe? Are we growing better than Rwanda? Nigeria? Bots? given the moves those countries have made in recent times?
Fastest in his own world I guess. The rest of us are seeing things getting worse. No end in sight.
Possible. If the country was at rock bottom, and movement up is regarded as growth
@@stholz74 It all depends with your understanding of English. Remember fastest doesn't mean the best economy. I can move from 1-to-10km peg in 2 seconds and during that time someone will be moving from 90-to-100km peg in 10 seconds. I hope this opens your mind a bit.
@@sydneym9970 well said, I think pple need also to understand that Zimbabwe's economy is not a quick fix our economy is battered and its amazing how we have stayed afloat, kwekwe steel & chrome industries alone may need some 7 billion usda to revive. Now think of all the industries which are shut down across Zimbabwe. ED is not a populist and i think we need such a leader
My points of departure with Eddie Cross are in his premises of our national economic variables in relation to our authorities!!
Nice interview with Mr Cross but a mixed bag.If Chiinamasa,not Tsvangirai stabilized economy during GNU,why are they not stabilizing it now or like Cross said he doesn't want to go against them.
the changes he is talking about happened 8 months before the GNU, so he cant attribute it to people that where not in gvt
It is a policy instituted by Chinamasa that stabilized he economy....not Chinamasa. Does that make sense. So if Chinamasa is still around (is he Policy still around?)
He is not a biased person... By then he was under MDC
amazing work good job trevor
This interview has been a long time coming!
Good to see u back how are u feeling
He says there's a book to come lol I've a feeling it's ferere ferere one!
Very informative interview indeed👏👏👏
Thank you to the man speaking Jehova God bless him always
These are our Elder full of knowledge
I think Trevor should have done this in two or three parts. Someone as complicated and with a long history like Eddie cant be interviewed comprehensively in one hour...i would have done a segment on his personal life and business life...his life in politics ..from pre and post independence to mdc era and state of MDC A today...and finally an hour on current economy ...new dispensation ..the infamous ED biography etc. Otherwise the interview feels a bit superficial as in it just barely scratches the surface
Not at all… the man is just a spent force. This was enough.
Eddie is sent again, really!!!!!
Trevor. Thanks for clarifying what AMA is. What is JOC and TSP. You guys just use these terms without introducing them. This is an interview that is of interest the world over
I don't agree with Eddie's current politics but you can't fault at least 90% of what he says here regarding fixing the economy. He is spot on. I don't know if current dispensation has the capacity to do it, but they have done one or two things the previous lot dismally failed to. Of course I say this at the risk of congratulating a fish for swimming but given how low the bar is after Bob, we have moved the needle somewhat! Still to little too late but the trick is whether the current lot will be willing to make way for younger, more qualified, more worldly, unencumbered folk to actually move us forward!!! If they stem the corruption tide in mining and farming, Zimbabwe would be the place to be sooner than we all thought. That said, #ZANU-PF must go!
top of the shows
I have never seen a man this old who can still bring in some positive energy, considering he lived in this country when standards were still held up high in contrast to now when all we hear about is complaints about corruption, political unrest, underpaid civil servants and you name it.
read the bible , indeed the bible is a fountain of all wisdom WOOOOW
Welcome back Trevor! This is one of the best conversations. Eddie is articulate and reasonable. Thank you Team Trevor!
Great to see you back after a deserved break Trevor ...Some really interesting and intriguing outcomes from the discussion...Clearly a great deal of institutional knowledge...but then..a lot more could have been said....or explained... Cross's wisdom is irresistible...but listening to him is like drinking/eating to quench thirst/hunger but soon as you stop the consumption process you instantly experience hunger after-feel......
2014 coup deal yooooo.Great interview
His first 10 words speaks volume about the man !
Very insightful views from an outsider looking in. I think Eddy has the experience thst needs to be chesrished... Unfortunately he is getting too old to get him to turn things around... Eddy i like you....
Eddie Cross the flip-flopper.
Very empowering, interesting and inspiring. Thanks very much Trevor and a Eddie for this.. UK
Came across this interview after watching a documentary from the 1970's. The young handsome man in those days Eddie Cross was basically saying the same thing. How I wish that our black and white great grandparents could have maintained that mentality und spirit for Zimbabwe. We grandchildren could be living in a "first world" country in Africa 2021.
We meet again lol.
Which documentary is that?
@@wilts8965 Rhodisia, This week from Thames TV 1971
Play girl, you are very naive and easily manipulated mentally. This man knows what to say to get what he wants. Does that sound familiar????
@@playgirl7305 thanks..will check it out

I also trade with Mr. David, haven't you heard of him?
He is the best to trade with.
I got referred to Mr. David a week ago, and invested $5000, I've already made $23,000 can't wait to withdraw in two weeks.
I guess you guys are new clients of David Morrison. I've been trading since 2017
hallmark of wisdom
Hey Trevor pls do something with the noise on the background during recordings.
Great show Trevor he has vast experience in business which l would be very much interested to tap into. Can l kindly ask you Trevor if you can connect me with Mr Eddie Cross. Thanks
I think that our tragedy is anchored around people like him who have the wisdom, discrete information but go-ahead to say half-truth and write books that are a compromise. This makes him a ZUN PF project.
You got the same finding as of mine about this meandering so called economist. He doesn't stay to truth principles, he navigate through for as long as it favours only himself and because of his strategy obviously he has to change sides and it will repeat itself until his end.
And people are here applauding and ululating for those half truths. Good interview though
47:50sec there is a cut, no one noticed? something Eddie said was cut out when they spoke about the auction.
Tru
Well spotted Lloyd
Retired from both politics and principle..mybe kwakuchembera amheno .What Good do u see in EDiot
I am always impressed by the people that are invited and the questions. Eddie Cross is 81years old and calls himself aggressive and had done great things at 38 years of age but calls a man who’s over 40 a kid 🤨 But I enjoyed the conversation
He was referring to the task of being a president
The economist throws figures like confetti
Factual interview and this is why I do not read the book about ED's life, because its more of PR ...than anything else
Elder Eddie Cross he Very Smart and clear on his analysis l love this Rebound Of Zimbabwe 🇿🇼is Real....Brick by Brick
Eddie says ED has will but no capacity... then he says ED can ride the tiger (but how without capacity)... then says one centre of power not sustainable... then you say ED was the power behind the throne - the mastermind and centre of that power... so what exactly are you saying Eddie Cross? ... Eddie needs to come back to clarify somethings...
You need to have a critical mind
Eddie Cross is old now. Bringing him back is not good because he will even confuse himself more and more.
@@duengwaru5135 Everyone is important, including Eddie Cross
@@mampofu1052 Importance and confusion are too different things. I'm commenting on Eddie Cross's confusion in terms of the way he presents his facts not on his importance's towards the development of our beloved Zimbabwe.
He means ED really wants to be a people president but he doesn't know how, even RGM said so. Power behind the throne means he was behind RGM's mysterious wins even when people voted for another candidate and its true, RGM said so after the coup. One centre of power after the death of Perence Shiri, Chiwenga is really sick most of the time so the tripartite alliance is gone, like Julius Ceasar, you become dangerous to the nation. He is being politically correct but he knows his stuff and our economy very well, it's always the politicians who spoil our potential.
Thank you very much Eddie and Trevor. I have learnt a few things that I never knew eg when you said the economy improved after GNU because of Chinamasa not Biti and that`s when we started using the US dollar.
P/S Glad to have you back Trevor!
Eddie is lying. If Chinamasa was that brilliant, why can't he do it again?
@@ZvikomboreroKapumha He actually witnessed it and is not lying. So all this time we were giving credit to the wrong dude nhai when it`s actually Chinamasa
I hope you don't believe everything that you hear, otherwise it would be a shame. Interrogate things, especially historic events.
It was in fact Chinamasa who, together with his other destruction boys, killed the economy. To say they are responsible for our glory days would be such a misrepresentation of truths of unheard of levels
@@ZvikomboreroKapumha You are lying
My respect for Eddie Cross just sky rocketed. We need these experienced and wise people to help turn around the country. We are a bitter nation and hatred for the other groups is making us blindly make bad and emotional decions. But this country totally needs people like cross, mthuli and Ed.
Wisdom? 🙄
Eddie is an astute businessman who really knows how to use situations to his advantage.
It's so sad Zimbabweans and South Africans really don't know their real history. For real Zim history, real truth, and a real challenge to do it, interview Rutendo Martinvarare.
Ed appointed an editorial committee?
great conversation indeed.
Informative conversation really insightful when he mentioned the underestimating of the economy our economy has potential I would wanted to hear more of what kind of buisnesses young entrepreneurs can do in Zimbabwe the politics honestly have had enough of it I want to hear want can be done in the country such men are needed to guide the next buisnesses to take the country out of its doldrums.
Have already watched, was it released by mistake😂😂😂
send link
🤣🤣yes. Good on you 👏🏿 👍
Cross is selling out here
35:30
this is a pr job by Eddie clearly all of that blame shifting and sanctifying screams sycophant to me.Thank you trevor for at least asking the right questions and pressing on whenever he was trying to stray
Iji
Don't get me wrong though, Eddie has the knowledge in economics but as soon as he has to answer something about the system he comes out of being real.
Is this because you feel he's saying what you disagree with?
@@fwm146 not because he's saying staff I disagree with but I'm surprised the way he's speaking great about the system. For your own information this is the same guy who was behind the formation of a left hand organization ...so what changed. And he was also an actor in economics when Zim economy was well functioning , he knows very well about the different as compared to today or he's not leaving in Zim in this present day????
@@mrpk9007 I'm not an economist but I think the real economy is tough because we are in an austerity. It's meant to be tough.
@@fwm146 I understand our position as an economy but let's be honest...,how we ended up right here..? Austerity is just meant for the public whilst bigger piece of govt collections is being used by the elite to finance their extravagant lifestyle and they're telling us of some measures .
So true, I guess if he speaks out of tune he will be extinguished. He talks about being injured and operated in a world class facility by a fantastic surgeon, but that is only for the elite, no mention of public hospitals that are run down, which us where the majority of Zimbos are supposed to be getting treatment. He speaks from a point of priviledge.
Harder questions would have been good
Mmmmmmmm this guy is all over and everywhere and with everyone. I don't know whether he is genuine or not.
the humility of eddie is getting me goosebumps
you went to mutoko high?
@@riendautre9283 yessss my man
@@tinotendamutanga3768 oww great thought i recognised the name
Eddy has a lot of information on anything. His conclusions mmmm. Twice trusting leaders who do otherwise but still keeping faith? I suppose its time these old economists rest!
As if he would ever say out what he exactly thinks...on this platform 😂 He has wisdom. If he was talking with his inner circle he would be saying different
@@chiyenyumba7135 exactly he’s very smart
@@archeionruswai4008 yes saka vachigara vachidya always a step ahead
Joj
I would have loved to hear more on what Eddie see as success strategies that this Ed government have adopted with clear goals and timeframes. This currency auctioning policy is gonna be very diffucult to halt currency depreciation until such a tine when the economy reaches a stage where they have built enough enough reserves.
So surprising that an intellectual like eddie can be also manipulated
