You must never provoke animals, that way they will never attack you. They are great and will even protect you. The elephant will even warn you.
Did you know an elephant has a memory of about 20 years with that trunk. If you try to do anything to it and it hits you with that trunk it remembers for 20 years.
Black rhinos, sad how they have been poached. Few species left, but great animals. Managed to see all the big five of the jungle. It's amazing how animals cohabitate. Deep thinking is needed to understand& worth spending time reading about it.
Face to face with this cheetah. An amazing animal, swift and fast. They say it is hard to find because it's always hiding from the lion and leopards who will kill it. Amazing animal and the fastest too.
Here ready to take-off. It's a patient animals. Patience and timing is key to get itself some impalas.

1/One onerous burden of seeking asylum as a FALSE victim of politics is the need to frame and maintain your status as a victim facing death in your country. It leads one to create non-existent enemies. In serious instances, one starts to believe their lies. Ali Naka is one such !
2/The guy has made a name for himself by constantly feeding social media exciting conspiracies& rumours none of which turns to be true. The agenda is to maintain his asylum by being strongly anti-government. I will return with more on this scheme for guys like him& Maswerasei.
3/It's pitiful that the editorial standard for social media is so low that he repeatedly gets to throw whatever fictional contrivances he manufactures in South Africa and gets away with it. That has to stop and should start with him substantiating his latest accusations.
I was invited to a SADCOPAC event and what I witnessed there was both saddening and tragic. I never imagined I would see something like that in terms of the behaviour of some MPs led by Hon Charlton Hwende, current Public Accounts Portfolio Committee Chairman.
There was an AGM to elect new office bearers. Unfortunately the Hwende clique thought because the country has the current Chairmanship of SADC then it had a bye in getting the Chairmanship of SADCOPAC too. Their misguided and unruly actions decimated the decorum of the event!
In one of the Governing Council meetings, with 11 PAC Chairpersons, Hwende, with Hon Mugwadi, who was clearly drunk and seemingly enrolled as muscle, went about insulting the other 10 members arguing that Hwende should be Chairperson.
My kids are back from school and while going through their report books I noticed that most of them performed badly in Shona despite it being their mother language. I asked why and the uniform answer was that they are not allowed to converse in Shona at school.
@MoPSEZim is this Gvt policy? Many nations are so proud of their languages such that English has failed to dislodge their native tongues. The Chinese, the Spanish, South Africans, etc. Are we literally allowing our kids to be colonised with the teachers/schools as enablers?
@MoPSEZim A lot needs to be done in these schools and can the responsible Hon Minister Torerayi Moyo do something. When Hon Priscilla Misihairambwi was the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Pry& Sec Education, we effectively dealt with unjustifiable increases in tuition fees.
Now that some sanctions have been lifted we should begin to see the development which was being hindered by them. However, as I have always said, corruption remains the most lethal form of sanctions. It was never about sanctions but the corruption that is now embedded in us.
It is better to keep sanctions and remove corruption, pilfering. That leaking pot is what is destroying this country. The US has been smart to lift some and still point the way at the endemic root of our travails, corruption. As long as corruption remains we are going nowhere.
Many have been profligate in parastatals & no one has been brought to account. Hospitals are not resourced& people are dying. Many get away with murder on issues of resources. All that has nothing to do with sanctions. No one has died from sanctions but many due to corruption.
The tragic reality for many CCC legislators, caught between Parliament& Chamisa, is that they are orphaned and disenfranchised. Many of them can no longer organise developmental meetings with their supposed supporters in constituencies due to divisions over staying or resigning.
Resultantly, they are simply in Parliament for themselves. They no longer have the public mandate and confidence to represent those who voted for them. It's an unstable scenario where to stay means a short political career for some while to resign MAY be the trick to the future.
For some the longer they remain there, widening& emphasizing their differences and separation from Chamisa, who made many to win in the first place, means their political careers are forever tainted. Having won clinging to his coattails, to act independently is to plummet down.
I have been wondering why people think a GNU is a possible resolution to the current situation. The last time we had such it was because there had been a stalemate& Mugabe had no option but to accept the SA-brokered deal. Moreso, the MDCs had very strong footing in Parliament.
ZANU–PF lost its majority in the House of Assembly for the first time since 1980, as the two factions of the MDC won most of the seats. Again, a month after the election the MDC factions merged which meant they had absolute control of Parliament.
This made Mugabe's position politically untenable. They had the numbers to impeach him. It's unlike today. The many variables in the current situation don't provide much substance for a repeat of the GNU.
