Nemanwa – There are no secrets to success as it is the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure.
These are the words that Stanford Chibaya, a rising entrepreneur affectionately known by his friends, admirers and customers as Jecksolas, recites every day.
The devout Zion Christian Church (ZCC) member refers himself as a doctor of business, dominating Nemanwa growth point with grocery shops, night clubs, restaurants, saloons, hard wares, butcheries, clothing shops among others.
Currently, he is doing finishing touches on a state-of-art business complex which will change the face of Nemanwa once completed.
Born in 1973, Chibaya grew up in a family of business people. His father, Edson Imbayago Chibaya sold vegetables and farm produce on a bicycle.  He says he is inspired by his paternal grandfather, Salatiel Masa who runs his own businesses in Masvingo rural district.
By 1999, Chibaya was running tuckshops and a bigger business in Harare where he was an agent for Lobels. He was also the chairperson of the Zanu PF Chiedza branch in Glen Norah and worked with the likes of Joseph Chinotimba and Peter Mairesera.
He fell victim to Operation Murambatsvina which drove him out of Harare back Nemanwa growth point where he started off by selling fruits at the vegetable market before moving to a shop at a place called Acurios.
Chibaya later acquired a stand at the growth point where he built his first shop, leading to a successful business venture counting five shops in his name. 
The humble businessman went to Makasi Primary School in Mapanzure and later attended Mapanzure Secondary School. He later moved to Mudavanhu Secondary School where he shared a desk with current Masvingo Rural District Council chief executive officer Martin Mubviro.
After ‘O’ level, he then went to start small businesses.
Chibaya owns several cars and a descend house in the low density suburb at Nemanwa.

Driven by passion and hard work, Chibaya is growing bigger in business but he maintains a humble life style.
He told TellZim News he has no shame selling anything that is profitable no matter however small or basic. TellZim News recently saw him driving his small lorry to Masvingo town to sell mashuku/mazhanje.
The business man also makes sure that his six children and other relatives that he looks after are active in different skills including farming. He is well-known in the area for being a good community leader who has helped many people to find their own footing.
Chibaya is also chairperson of an electricity connection committee in Nemamwa and a Zanu PF branch chairperson who has ambitions to be a councillor.
Givemore Gabarinocheka, a Nemanwa resident, described Chibaya as a hard working fellow who yearns for development. He said Chibaya was a blessing to the community because a lot of people know him for helping others.
“Chibaya is one of a kind; he is a hardworking businessman who is poised for bigger things. He helps a lot in this community and he is a very good man,” Gabarinocheka said.business

MASVINGO – A lucky couple that has never missed a chance to participate in the Baker’s Inn Buy and Win is now driving good cars courtesy of two grant draws.
Jerrifanos Musara (48), a teacher at Ndarama High School, last Saturday won an elegant Mercedes Benz C 200 and at the third Bakers Inn Grand Draw.
His girlfriend, Rejoice Mandishona won a Honda Fit in the 2015 edition of the draw and she was there when her other half received the keys for his own lucky win.
An excited Musara said the only secret behind winning was participating and filling as many entry forms as possible.
 “I am so much into betting and I have also tried lotto. You can win if you compete and I am very happy that I have won the car because I expected to win something though I did not know I will walk away with the grand prize,” Musara said.
On her part, Mandishona was the winner of the 2015 grant prize of a Honda Fit and was there last week when Musara won not only his own car but a television set as well.
“I am very excited that my boyfriend has won a Benz. I could not believe it because I was not expecting anything like this and I had already rejoiced when he won the television.
“We are so grateful to Bakers Inn because our lives have been changed. I can’t even explain how happy I am. We are continuing to support them,” said Mandishona.
If anything, the surprising coincident proved that even the least likely or least expected things can happen as there is a chance for anybody to win in a fair and transparent draw like the Baker’s Inn  Buy and Win draw.
Baker’s Inn Masvingo area manager, Admire Vhoko encouraged all customers not to miss a chance in all future draws as every participant has a chance of winning.
“With Bakers Inn, you will always win. Participation and competition is fair and transparent. We note the rare case of the couple and we would like to congratulate all our lucky winners,” Vhoko said.business

MASVINGO – Baker’s Inn last weekend conducted the 3rd edition of their Buy and Win Grand Draw for 2017, an event which saw lucky customers walking away with different kind of gifts and prizes.
The event attracted many people at a place that was cordoned off to vehicular traffic along Leopold Takawira Street where a euphoric anxiety to win gripped the huge crowd.
The biggest highlight of the draw was the winning of a sleek Mercedes Benz C 200 Compressor and an LED television by Jeriphanos Musara, a teacher at Ndarama High School.
“I was expecting to win because I took part in the competition. I participated with my heart so I expected to win though I was not sure of what really was going to come my way. I knew the chance was very small since there were many entrants,” Musara said.
Other lucky customers got prizes ranging from gas stoves, solar geysers and deep freezers to school fees vouchers and bread.
However, the day probably belonged to a local vendor, Kumbirai Madhibhi, who got a surprise of her life when Baker’s Inn made a commitment to change her life by presenting her an impromptu gift of three crates of bread to start a home business.
“I am overwhelmed by what Bakers Inn has done to me. They have indeed changed my life and I was not expecting this at all. I will have money to do other businesses at home now that I have a start,” said Madhibhi.
Baker’s Inn Masvingo area manager, Admire Vhoko thanked customers for making the confectionery company what it is, saying by continuing to buy Baker’s Inn products, they were making possible such plough back programmes as the Buy and Win grand draw.
“I will like to appreciate the people of Masvingo for embracing our great event. It shows that people like the Bakers Inn brand. It also shows that market has a place for us and we feel encouraged.
“Continue supporting us, don’t lose hope if you didn’t manage to win because it’s coming again and what you need to do is just to participate. To our winners, we say with Bakers Inn you will always win,” said Vhoko.business
