1. Our problem is that we hear the word village and what pops up is an image of a place without any electricity and functional ablution facilities. When you travel the globe, you see what others call a village you'll quickly be ashamed.
2. We are as educated as they are, we have 10000 dams and 300 days of sunlight but we are content with our elders hiding in the bushes to defecate, with young ones making fun of them. We are ok with not having taped water delivered to our cousins back in the village.
3. We seem to have accepted that this backwardness bestows some virtue or purity to the extent that our vision for rural areas is limited. I respected the MDC Plan on Development and Urbanization of Rural Areas.
4. It was a vital realization that by raising the quality of life in rural areas you stem Rural to Urban migration and broaden the economic base. People laughed when Nelson mentioned airports in rural areas.But the white farmers had aerodromes on their farms in those areas
5. When you see those great shows on off the grid living don't you yearn that our people in Mhandamabwe Shurugwi could have that. Why can't we have that? Why reduce our people to a life of strife, vanhu kutozoonerawo magetsi kuHarare.
6. We must exorcise this chimushamusha habit and expand the economy to reach everyone. Lets have nice rural areas, with energy available. In this day and age vana vanonoverengera pabhawa..exposing them to rabid molestors and predators. Come Zimboz, this can't be it!

1. Please let us keep vigilant. Get vaccinated. Zimbabwe likely has 3 or more variants in circulation, if you get infected by 2 at once they can swap genetic elements giving rise to new variants which spread faster and could be dangerous. Sinopharm/sinovac works. Get vaccinated.
2. 50% protection is better than zero dear people. Get vaccinated, there is snowballs chance in hell that Zimbabwe will get the Pfizer and Moderna vaxs which are showing good stats against delta variant. Just get your shot if you can.
3. We all do not have answers at this point about a number of things on Sinopharm and Sinovac but they are WHO approved at this point. So, we cannot pick and choose because we simply might not get the "preferred" vaccines we want/desire.

1. The sobering realization from the Sentry's Investigative report is that the elite get money so easy and can pay any amount to anyone and they have greased everyone and anyone who is essential for their preferred political party to stay in power.
2. Dismantling this well oiled entity which involves local and foreign partners requires Zimbabweans locally and abroad to have unity of purpose. There comes a time that we have to honestly take stock of our country.
3. The rampant and brazen acquisition of State assets and immediate shipping of debt to the citizen has gone on for too long. This is not going to work for anyone. In 5yrs all mining assets and any other national resource will be the property of one person.

1. 1 organic beef ribeye steak
Oven 😂
Salt, freshly ground black pepper, beef spices.
Extra virgin olive oil
Pour ¾ lid of olive oil on top of the nyama and rub in the spices generously. You can leave the nyama overnight with spices or at least 3hrs so that the spices really set
2. Preheat oven to 345Farenheit, and then place the meat into a baking pan or even a glass pan. A lid of olive oil must set the base for the meat 👈 important step this one. Use bake oven setting for this recipe👈importanter.
3. Bake for 45 minutes or an hour turning the meat every 10-15 minutes so that it "yibvas" evenly. The olive oil will ensure that it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Depending on how you like your meat, and hour would be for "well done" variety.

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.
