World War 3? Trump, AI Job Losses & Zimbabwe’s Economy | Steve x TCV

Is the world heading toward World War 3? And what would that mean for Zimbabwe’s economy?

In this powerful episode, Steve Tadzoka joins TCV to unpack some of the biggest global and local economic conversations affecting businesses today.

From the rising tensions that could trigger World War 3, to the impact of oil price increases in South Africa, we explore how global events quickly translate into fuel price hikes, rising bread prices, and pressure on African economies.

We also dive into major developments in Zimbabwe’s financial system:

• Why banks are being restricted from charging balance inquiry fees

• The debate around withdrawal charges and banking reforms

• Why banks still close at 3PM in a country that needs a 24-hour economy

• The impact of companies delisting from the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE), including Econet’s concerns about being undervalued

• Whether Zimbabwe can abandon the USD by 2030 and fully trust local currencies like ZiG

We also discuss the deeper issue many Zimbabweans feel but rarely say openly:

economic trauma caused by unstable currencies, and why many people no longer trust banks with their money.

On the global front, the conversation touches on:

• Donald Trump’s stance on war

• How modern wars are now fought through cyber warfare, drones, and technology

• The rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence replacing jobs, including positions like Personal

Assistants This episode is a real, honest breakdown of global economics, technology, banking, and the future of work through an African lens.
