The Legend of Chief Chikwande Gandari 643 - 720AD

A very long thread!! Born in 643AD to Chikunguvo the son of Jekacheka of Nemarundwi, Gandari was the last born in his family. He grew up under the stewardship of Momberefu around the Nemarundwi area in Zimuto. Momberefu was the trusted nengomasha to chief Chikunguvo who had now taken reigns.

I admire people who were born into rich families, people who never lacked anything and had everything sorted out. I believe that is how human should live on this earth. There is absolutely nothing to glorify in poverty. Zilch. Sleeping on the floor with no blankets, studying using firewood, no candles, no electricity, drinking water from open wells where 40m upstream someone defecated , going to school bare feet and stepping into messed toilets like that. Having to share 1 textbook the 43 of you including the teacher, only knowing soccer, volleyball

Zimbabwe spends USD$2.25million on importing toothpicks annually!! Meaning since 2012, we have spent over USD$2.3 billion on toothpicks!

What if our engineers in the country are called to work together with just USD$5million to design a toothpick making plant? And save the rest of the money which can be channeled towards resuscitation of clinics and hospitals and any other facet of the economy?

Engineers can eliminate most of the problems we have in this country if they are well funded to do research, development and innovation.

Today l am at the offices. Let me see how it goes.

Woke up at 03:44, now at the offices, there are about 100 people already l hope it won't rain. Some slept here some of us came here today. As usual, Zimbos are asking each other questions lol Some guys came saying, "we can sell you cards with numbers to help you jump the queue. People are angry 😠 😡 and shouting at them chasing them. They aint down for that nonsense .

The greatest weapon used to colonize Africa was never the Maxim gun, but religion.We have people who go buy a working factory, convert it into a church and start praying for jobs. Religion pacified people and even made some of us lazy, always waiting for someone else to save us There is a reason why 95% of the world's poorest countries are the most religious. Religion is a tool made for controlling people. They will drill it into you that ,"blessed are the poor" , or "the rich young ruler struggled in hell and the poor Lazarus was partying in heaven"

This generation drains me to the core! Calling with WhatsApp call instead of airtime means you are not serious. Buying items on promotion like Steers Wacky Wednesday, Spur Bottomless Thursdays and Chicken Inn Terrific Tuesday or using an iTel means you are broke. I'm tired shem. Not wearing designer = you are broke. Staying with your parents when you are 30 means you are not mature. Staying in the ghetto whilst working means you are poor. The list is endless. People really need financial literacy. A lot of you are chocking in debts simply because you

If most Zimbabweans knew where John, Stewart and Thomas Meikle really got their money to build the Meikles Hotel and expand their business, they would be so furious and boycott that building forever. Much is talked about Gold as a means of wealth in the 1890s but little attention is given to the vast monopolies that dealt in the beef and cattle business. As everyone was rushing towards gold, the Meikles brothers invested in cattle as there was high demand for beef back in

If I ever become the President of Zimbabwe:

1. I'll limit parly seats to 100 and reduce gobbling tax payer's money
2. I will remove redundant titles like minister of state, deputy minister etc
3. The government vehicles will be purchased locally
4. 4x4 vehicles will only be for parly members outside major cities. PAs must not get 4x4s and stay whole day in airconditioned rooms. 4x4 is for rugged work and terrain
5. I will leave ministers to do official openings of projects in their line of ministry. I can't be officially opening a powerstation when the

Our education in Africa is not helping us that much anymore. Bachelor's degrees produce a lot of managers. Polytechnic college diplomas produce handsmen and technicians. Now we have lots of degree holders (managers) than diploma holders(technicians and handsmen).The end result is companies and organizations end up creating numerous managerial posts than to hire actual people who do the work. You have Director, Deputy Director, Assistant Deputy Director, PA to the Director, PA to the Assistant Deputy Director, Manager, Supervisor then the guy who does the

As Africans, we have a lot of unproductive things we spend much time on. Imagine watching 4hrs+ of TV series per day. How much could we learn/do in that time frame? How many tutorial videos have you watched this year so as to learn a new skill or replenish an existing one? How many TV series titles do you know if you are being honest with yourself? We are very good at plugging each other with movies and series. "Une ma movie here" is the question of the day. Rarely do you hear someone asking for tutorials.
