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.

From day one I argued that the VP's move was steeped in politics and a revenge move rather than in actually fighting corruption. Today I lay out one episode which led to the supposed move to get Chivayo arrested, painted as Chigananda.
The origin of this scandal was the alleged failure by Chivayo to fulfil one of many financial promises which he had made to the VP. Whatever else happened later was an effort to get back at him.
First of all the VP allegedly asked for 6 Rolls Royces for his wedding plus US$250K for his wedding preparations. During the wedding itself he received US$250K as a wedding gift. Of that amount only US$50K was announced publicly at the wedding per his request.
It is deeply regrettable that certain individuals are leading VP Chiwenga down a perilous path of misinformation. While I maintain that opposing corruption is commendable, such opposition should not come at the expense of undermining the leadership or destabilizing the party.
As the President rightly asserts, party hayiiswe muhomwe memunhu, it transcends any individual. Transitioning from military service to political life, the VP must now navigate an entirely different arena where the principles of power are different.
Power from the Army does not seamlessly translate to the political sphere where mass appeal is fundamental. Unfortunately, there are those who fail to grasp these critical distinctions, mistakenly believing that influence from one domain will effortlessly extend to another.
Corruption is a national problem which can't be hijacked for a few political points. That's why I argued that the VP should have engaged the President in a different setting if the agenda was actually about making a national plan to deal with corruption.
We all know how ZANU PF as a party is literally bankrolled by Kuda; funding the entire payroll for it's HQ, buying cars for everyone from the top to the bottom. Why should any one of the leaders then besmirch others when all of them have been benefitting?
Ini saSabhuku I meet villagers with problems& offer them advise. When the issue persists we then bring it to the public forum, kuDare where it is deliberated upon by many. It's a sacrosanct protocol that upholds privacy, preserves dignity& advances development.
There has been excitability around ZANU's Secretary for Legal Affairs Patrick Chinamasa, deleting& subsequent reposting of the Tagwirei co-option matter. A thorough examination of the contextual elements at play is essential for a comprehensive understanding.
Chinamasa is a seasoned party cadre, known for his ability to navigate complex political issues. Alongside Minister Made, he played a pivotal role in the legal framework that underpinned the landmark Land Reform program, enacted despite significant international scrutiny.
Following the events of 2017, Chinamasa was instrumental in facilitating a legally sound campaign to bring back ED. Furthermore, he has been a key contributor to the 2030 agenda, which involves a strategic alignment of reforms with national law.
Here is a comprehensive clarification of the protocols governing ZANU-PF's approach to Central Committee candidacy for individuals who do not fulfill standard eligibility criteria. The provision for waivers serves as an established mechanism that has been used before.
Previously this channel has benefited individuals such as Simbarashe Mumbengegwi, Sekai Nzenza, Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube, and former Health Minister Obadiah Moyo.
The Politburo, as the main decision-making entity outside Congress, oversees this. Members who fail to meet the conventional standards such as 5 years of service at the provincial or DCC levels still have the opportunity to contest for a Central Committee position.
Mutsvangwa harbours ambitions of being Zanu PF leader& sees both VP Chiwenga& Tagwirei as stumbling blocks to the realisation of that dream. The spirited press conferences against Tagwirei are an opportune moment for him to decimate the figure of one of his supposed opponents.
Unfortunately the party, in a seemingly naive move, is indulging his whims. In February in an interview with DugUp he launched an attack on VP Chiwenga, labelling him cruel, illiterate and an electoral liability.
That he is now onto Tagwirei isn’t coincidence but a calculated move in a bigger agenda towards what he has always aspired for, ZANU PF and ultimately national leadership. It's just illusionary that he appears to have a case because he doesn't.
