1. Without a doubt Zimbabwe has good vaccination program infrastructure. It is better than some first world countries by far, but on COVID-19 vaccination, it looks like our messaging is a bit muted. I remember we once got H1N1 vaccinations at work when it hit really hard.
2. The University just arranged a day and boom all of us lined up to get our vaccination and in one day we were done! I mean staff and students. So when I hear about 300K doses "surplus" I'm like why aren't we moving with the same pace like we did in previous years.
3. We have the capacity and ability, why is it taking long to quickly vaccinate people? Are people hesitant? Is the messaging around vaccination sufficient? Help me understand. Yes we are leading in SADC, but don't you think we could be way ahead than where we are?
4. For sure vaccine supply is a huge issue, no doubt about that. But we should be exhausting every dose that we get right? What is really happening? Are people taking up the vaccine or not?

1. There are intelligent people who will select only the dullest people to be their friends, in so doing, they create an army of praise singers and individuals who cannot challenge them. That was Robert Mugabe. You can never find competence in those he surrounded himself with🚮.
2. When the moral test of character was presented, they never stood up. You only hear of their "virtue" from themselves. The situation on the ground shows they went along with Mugabe on his ruinous path, suddenly they are bastions of reason.
3. "Paraquating" their way into infamy, they are the first to point to how Mugabe, in all his wisdom or lack thereof, was the best thing after sliced bread..nonsense. History can't be reversed, but it is instructive on where on critical moments we stood.
1. One interesting thing I've learnt over the past 5yrs is that being married in Zim is vastly different from being married in the diaspora. You see, Zim men have it "good", I put it in quotes coz well it is very much debatable that the situation is good 😂
2. When my daughter was born, it was just me and my wife, no relatives, no tetes or Gogos to come and takeover care etc. It was a tough period for me and for my wife. I had never been a dad, I thought I was prepared but I wasn't. You see no one said babies are permanent 😂
3. Like once they come, they are here to stay...they poop, cry and drool and they just don't go away for a second so that you can take a break...nope it is a 24hr job. Without the kind of support system you have in Zim, it is stressful and takes a toll on both parents.
1. Medical racism is dangerous. Racists operated on Black people without anaesthesia and they then spread the myth that Black people are "very strong" and can endure a lot of pain.
2.Since that time whenever there has been a global pandemic, Black people are first in line to believe that they are "resistant" or "immune". It is the same thing that made HIV plant its roots in our continent and it is going to be the same thing that causes COVID to stick w us.
3.When you see how people are partying in South Africa whilst we are seeing another rising wave of infections you really wonder why we have bought onto the racist propaganda that we are "immune" or "strong"...protect yourselves Bazalwane.
2. Is it when they kill 20000 people in Matebeleland and no one is arrested and victims are not compensated?
Is it when they shot Kombai and killed many other political opponents in the 90s?
3. Is it when they abduct Itai Dzamara and he is nowhere to be seen? Is it when they do "long-sleeve" or "short-sleeve" amputations on opposition supporters? Is it when Kasukuwere places paraquat on victims wounds?
1. The biggest problem I see are intellectuals with dishonesty, religious leaders filled with deception, professionals without integrity. They sugarcoat, rationalize and explain away plain evil in order to curry favor with despots and malicious regimes.
2. They come in many forms, sanitizing brazen cruelty with alternative realities conjured in their unethical minds, with the sole purpose of overlooking or minimizing the suffering of the masses.
3. I have many I know, some who are my friends, who pledge their allegiance with those who oppress, kill and maim, they add perfume to a bloody and brutal regime all in exchange for some favors and access to opportunities.
1. We are happy that finally they released Tunga and Last. But we must never lose sight of the implications of their case. That a judge can deliberately ignore evidence that proves your innocence and sentence you to jail for close to a decade. Your opportunities, life, stolen.
2. Just like that. How can any citizen feel safe in such a nation? How do you know that you're not next? What protection do you have as a citizen that a competent court of law, can simply channel you to a jail term. Simply because it can😢😢
3. 8yrs gone! Guys I don't know if you feel what I'm feeling right now, the anger, heartbreak 💔, anguish, helplessness when I think of it... vulnerability caused by the State which is meant to protect citizens from criminals but turns the innocent into criminals..
