Great to see one of the men who picked me from the golf course. Supported entry level position in to banking for me. Livingstone would always say to me ' the ball is in your court Tawanda'. Fast forward now an employer in Europe and still learning a lot from him. Would really love to carry his golf bag again.
My former boss at Stanchart, a great man, inspirational leader and a high performer. It was a pleasure working with Livingstone, wish him more blessings and more success!
Thank you Trevor, this was an interesting and inspiring conversation with one of the greatest bankers to come out of Zimbabwe.thanks to Mr Livingston Gwata for being such a great example to all of us and we wish you well
Zimbabwe there you have it, these are the real Mbingas! The best value for my time on this program and I have watched most…,I wish Zimbabweans would be glued to this program because Trevor covers the real not the thieves!
Many thanks Trevor for bringing in my mentor and former Boss-Livingstone Gwata.I loved his sense of leadership and flagship.Not in my life have I ever seen such a mentor.He would correct your mistake with a smile.Long live Livingstone!
This was a great conversation. Mr. Gwata is very modest for all of the accomplishments he has under his belt. It is to his credit that FBC is one of the few home grown banking institutions that did not go under during the banking crisis in 2004 and this discussion with him showed why: owner management in banks is not a good idea. The tycoon factor in banking is not desirable and to stick to good practices in the business. I am an embryonic banker myself so this bill of your show was a very special one. Thank you.
You will be a great asset in government. I bet you have all the pre requisite qualifications to tackle this broken economy.. Thank you Trevor for your interviews.
Met this gentleman once and all he did was a good spirited humor with a friend and I still remember that so well that I even once opened a business account with FBC on that, what a down to earth gentleman, thank you Trevor for picking the real gems from our time, if these were our political leaders…..Singapore would be envious of us!
My chief @FBC what a humble leader …meet him in the corridors he would give you a firm handshake and smile and ask “ Am Livingstone and you ?”.He respected his subordinates at all levels
Well done Trevor.Remembered 1977 I was afirst year apprentice.Staying kumaflats in Glen Norah B. Mukoma Livingstone was my roll model.In every thing Nana Ngoni na Marcus . Hope to catch up with you mukoma in May at the Golf. 1
A serious, unknown et busy man, wondered where he came from, to head our small Standard Chartered Merchant Bank. I know you better now, Livie. Great conversation. Thank you Trevor for polishing our minds et provoking the truth.
Well spoken Livingston, my Mutumba primary school colleague, out in Madziwa. We went through a lot bro, in then Rhodesia, to come out and survive in an economy that was meant for only white professionals. You reminded me of being thrown out of then Salisbury Polytechnic A level academic studies, because it had come under the then Ministry of European, Asian and Coloured. Education. The need to survive was the driving force. Great interview. Prof. Mike Mbizvo
@@jekesainjikizana9734 Very good suggestion, Jekesai. We need to. Coming out of that system was not easy. Indeed we need kunyora ma book or video record what it was like. Standard 6 was the first major barrier, as less than 5% proceeded to the few high schools, from where less than 1% could proceed to A levels. The basic training was to make you a literate subordinate worker or servant, and you were victimized for aspiring to go beyond. Expulsions were a common feature following student strikes. I salute our never giving up fathers and mothers, who pushed the frontiers.
Waa Mr Gwata. Fascinating story Life; We came from far Zimbabweans. Integrity is the key in life. Your were brought up by a Family of God fearing couple with Ubuntu.
Why do politicians only get more airtime than corporate people and yet we turn to hear more inspiring stories from them and more truthful stories? Something Trevor should think about
Great show Trevor, He is indeed humble man, I didn't know about him why bcos he's humble he did go on top of the mountain to be seen but rather to see. Most of the guys with nothing to show make a lot of noise so they can be seen
The testimony on his struggle to quit smoking is one thing in his life that I relate to so much. That struggle is real and its a pleasure to stay smoke free, the feeling is priceless:-)
Its a great show. Why not ask candid questions about Zimbabwe political developments? I want to hear their views, their advice on what needs to be done in Zimbabwe to move on.
Very interestingly I am also one who was involved in annual shows at Madziva growth point having gone to Nyamharuro primary school which thatched with grass in the sixties
Thank you Trevor for bringing in great Men who have achieved and are luminaries in corporate Zim.This great man left a mark in FBC Holdings and the banking sector.This programme celebrates real success not what is glorified on social media.I love this programme
This was a great & inspiring conversations. Failures comes but not only for the bad but sometimes they open new unthought of opportunities. Very inspiring.

100 interviews and not giving up, that's determination!
My chief @FBC what a humble leader …meet him in the corridors he would give you a firm handshake and smile and ask “ Am Livingstone and you ?”.He respected his subordinates at all levels
Thank you for bringing History Alive
I like what he said..."Sport gives you instant feedback that's why politicians don't like it😂..."

Thank you 🙏🏿
Livingstone was my Boss at standard chartered he was a very understanding
Great talk with my golfing ⛳ buddy back in the 90s at Troutbeck lnn . You are in great shape. You must be playing off scratch now !!

Thank you Mukoma Trevor for giving us this insightful interview, i have learned a ton of information.
Waa Mr Gwata. Fascinating story Life; We came from far Zimbabweans. Integrity is the key in life. Your were brought up by a Family of God fearing couple with Ubuntu.
This is a great show we have indeed learnt a lot.
Excellent conversation
Full of wisdom
Why do politicians only get more airtime than corporate people and yet we turn to hear more inspiring stories from them and more truthful stories? Something Trevor should think about
Thank you for the show Mr Ncube. Grace and peace to you
Thank you 🙏🏿
there is no harm in doing a part 2
I really enjoyed this. I did not know who he was before the interview
always great to have a golfer on. Trevor, maybe you can have a segment called - on the course with Trevor :)

The underrated A.G:O grossly misunderstood
Great show Trevor, He is indeed humble man, I didn't know about him why bcos he's humble he did go on top of the mountain to be seen but rather to see.

The curse of "over correction" it really sank deep
Its a great show. Why not ask candid questions about Zimbabwe political developments? I want to hear their views, their advice on what needs to be done in Zimbabwe to move on.
Confirm how can l get in touch with Mr. Livingstone. l would like to join his mentorship program.
Uuum quite insightful , still waiting for the Interview with Tafadzwa Chinamo as promised
It is coming. Sorry for the delay
May you include a Q&A segment.Maybe where you read out the guest's answers to 2, 3 or 4 of viewers' follow up questions. You pick the qns worth asking
Thank you for the suggestion. We are learning as we grow
Very interestingly I am also one who was involved in annual shows at Madziva growth point having gone to Nyamharuro primary school which thatched with grass in the sixties
' Hyena looking after a butchery' quite interesting
I know the Gwatas of Chimbwanda east where he come from and the Gwatas of Chimbwanda west kwachihota we use to eat Grapes at their homestead .
Radiator and Tinning opposite Anderson Motors and Amtec, Bristol Road.
I am waiting for this one with bated breath.
