Our ancestors were a proud people who managed in their own right to put the word Great forever behind our name – GREAT ZIMBABWE that is. That monumental achievement and unity of purpose will never be taken away from us – All Zimbabweans. From Great Mapungubwe in South Africa to Great Zimbabwe, Khami, Naletale and Dhlo Dhlo, they left an indelible seal of greatness. Who will deny us, [but our own deeds,] that that same greatness is rubbed into our very own DNA and runs in our very own blood? The Cent Cent Savings and Credit Co-operative logo acclaims this heritage. There was once a sustained attempt to obliterate this connection by writing history to dispossess us of this heritage but the collective greatness latent in our collective being rose to the challenge then to claim a permanent place in the community of nations as a people together, and more so now, a greater Zimbabwe still, we may yet bequeath to posterity if we do not drop, the “non but ourselves” ball, and if only we can succeed in putting our sense together, pardon the pun, little by little, for the economy’s sake. The great Zimbabwe itself is many stones standing together, hence we say, “One stone does not make a great Zimbabwe alone!”

“”The ruins of Great Zimbabwe remain a fascinating riddle, but they also serve as a monument to an ancient people, whose skill and ingenuity has served to change the world-view of indigenous peoples.””

Our ancestors could not just be written off in the history of nations. The calling to live up to and sustain this world view for posterity is incumbent upon us. IF NOT US, WHO? IF NOT NOW, WHEN?

The Foundational V-formation of the Coins at the bottom of the Conical Tower

The V-Formation of the cents below the tower asserts our belief that together each one achieves more and goes further to reach new heights as presupposed by the aerodynamics of the V formation in giving a great boost in the efficiency and range of flying birds over long and enduring migratory routes. It has been scientifically proven that each bird can achieve a reduction of induced drag by up to 65% and as a result increase their range by 71%.  If the Cent Cent promise to replicate this in the field of wealth creation is to be realised, critical mass will be of essence. No one should be left behind.

A single cent does not make a million dollars alone, but when we join our sense together, pardon the pun, not only a million more will be made– but the very synergistic doors of infinite possibilities are opened for us – Cent Cent is not just us looking up to, but us going for the infinite possibilities in our financial goals and objectives little by little together.
