"The objective was to produce a book which would be an invaluable source of information in the home, in the office, in libraries and in schools in Zimbabwe, as well as in libraries throughout the world. ... In deciding which Zimbabwean personalities merited inclusion we were faced with a difficult task. Broadly, the biographical entries in this encyclopedia are of people who have made an impact internationally in a particular field of endeavour, be it sport, science, art or any other field, and those whose role in the past and the present has been a significant factor in the history and development of this country." .
