1. This Thursday, I went to see my Medical Practitioner, only to discover that my Medical aid scheme had been terminated on the 24th February 2023. I phoned the Communications Industry Pension Fund, formerly PTC Pension Fund, who confirmed the termination.
2. The Pension Fund indicated that they had decided to terminate the Medical Aid scheme, as pensions were now inadequate to meet the subscriptions, following the recent increases. Below is what I received as my monthly pension, plus US$40 as an allowance.

1. In 2012, I drove to Pretoria from Harare for the very first time. I was shocked by the state of our road to Beit-Bridge & patchy Mobile network coverage by @NetOneCellular but pleasantly surprised with the road quality and mobile networks coverage, soon after crossing into SA.
2. On my return from SA, I immediately went to the Ministry of Transport, Communications & Infrastructural Development’s Perm Sec’s Munodawafa’s office to alert him on what I had witnessed and he assured me of the advanced plans to dualize the Chirundu-Harare-Beitbridge road.

1. Yesterday, went to the top of a granite hill, where my late grandfather ran a school (what remains of it now, are small rocks to the left of the baobab tree), before my father was born! Extreme left is the legendary Gombe Mountain barely visible due to rain clouds. 2. From the top of the granite hill, this is the view of Ruti Dam on the Nyazvidzi River, which demarcates Manicaland and Masvingo provinces.

Remembering my uncle, Kumbirai Kangai, who would have turned 82 yesterday. Had great passion for Zimbabwe’s development and the young. MHSRIP!
For 40 years, I lived with the stigma that my uncle whom we affectionately called ‘Babamununi Kumbirai’, was one of those who killed Chairman Herbert Chitepo, until I read the book below. If an accused person is acquitted after full trial, surely that should settle the matter!
