Zimbabwe spends over $1 billion a year on South African agriculture and food, as much as SA earns from its Middle East exports, or from BRICS. Wandile Sihlobo, Presidential Envoy on Agriculture and Land, talks Gabriel through why Zimbabwe is arguably South Africa's largest agricultural market, what is holding Zimbabwe's economic recovery back, and what both countries stand to gain from a recovery in Zimbabwe's economic fortunes.
