So, do laptops work in Zim??
The short answer is yes as long as you can keep the battery charged. When I was in Chewore South, electricity from a generator at 50 cycles was available for an hour or so in the morning and from dusk until about 9:00 PM. If you are planning to use the internet for email or document exchange you may have a communications problem.
The best way to answer that question is to check with Chifuti. My international cell phone would not work due to a lack of carrier signal. A sat phone may be a solution.
