HAVE you ever been told there is a shortage of kitchen essentials back home, sent money...only to discover the money had been diverted to other things?

Directors of a Zimbabwean online shopping website think they have found the answer to your frustrations.

Zimland.com, owned by UK-based Zimbabwean entreprenuer Never Ndemera allows Zimbabweans living across the globe to order groceries which are delivered straight to the doorstep of intended recipients in Zimbabwe.

The range of goods on sale varies from the Cobra floor polish, candles, onions right through to Lifebouy soap.

Ndemera told New Zimbabwe.com: "It's a novel idea and essentially, it's designed to help Zimbabweans working abroad to help their families in Zimbabwe.

"There is the obvious inescapable reality of HIV/Aids related deaths in families and Zimland hopes to provide an easy way for people living abroad to order groceries to help the berieved.

"It's supposed to take away that hussle of pressurised shopping, or having to check if the money you sent will be used to buy the required essentials," he said.
