To add a country to the list, work needs to be done to create the localised settings and reports needed. This is done by volunteers who are usually users from that country with knowledge of what is required and the skill to do the localisation

@Joe91 explained that usually Forum users from that country like yourself, and in your case Zimbabwe, will need to do the localization, hence the need to not only have the knowledge but also the skills to do that.
