His second book, Poor Billionaire, was launched at the weekend at a colourful event, which drew a huge crowd that included music grandee, Oliver Mtukudzi and Cynthia Mare, as well as businessman, Tendai Chinopekwei, at the Harare International Conference Centre.

“My book launches are always big. The first launch, for Success In No Time, was attended by 500 people,” he said.

“This one had double that number. Seeing people supporting me in such a manner inspires me to work harder.”

Chiza said he was always writing at night, when most people were asleep and he was going to release more books in the future.

Poor Billionaire is a motivational book that focuses on issues people face on a daily basis, dealing with subjects on how one can be rich physically, but be poor mentally.

“Do you remember in 2008, we were all millionaires, billionaires and trillionaires? Yet poor. But I turned that mind to a motivational mind. From its title to conclusion, Poor Billionaire translates your initial curiosity into a well-rounded delivery of information and wisdom,” he said.

Besides writing, Chiza is a librarian at Bulawayo Public Library. He is the son of Eagle Life Assembly leader, Blessing Chiza.
