This section guarantees Zimbabweans the fundamental economic freedom to pursue any career path or business of their choice. However, the second clause acknowledges that reasonable regulations can be established for different professions and trades. This balances individual economic liberty with the need for professional standards, licensing requirements, and public safety measures that typically govern fields like medicine, law, engineering, and various trades.
