One of Zimbabwe's wealthiest entrepreneurs says he built a massive business empire without ever paying a bribe to a government official.
Strive Masiyiwa said his weapon against corruption was the word "No".
Two politicians demanded a bribe of $8-million to keep one contract in a country where his Econet Wireless conglomerate earned $30-million a year, he said.
"I refused. We were thrown out," he said, not naming the country.
A president in another country asked for an offshore bribe as he "needed something in retirement", Masiyiwa said.
"We have yet to return to that country, but we will one day," he said, adding that Africans must stand up against graft, individually and collectively.
