Really saddened to learn of Alex’s death. My kids went to Uni of Kent and whenever I visited my kids, Alex, Gift and I would have a meal and a drink together. We politically disagreed but it was never personal. We had many TV debates on opposing sides but remained bros. RIP Bro
It's sad to hear that Mr Nelson Chamisa has lot his mother. Mothers embody kindness and the ultimate personal sacrifice of one person for another human being. I wish to express my deepest sympathies to him and his family in this difficult time of grief.
US President says Iraqi was better with Sadam Hussein and Libya was better with Muammur Qaddafi. He points to the essence of having stability over any other issues because without that stability, nothing works
We received 65 Zimbabweans from the UK. Available place of quarantine is Belvedere Teachers College. They are refusing this accommodation demanding hotels. Govt can't afford. Why come from a covid19 hotspot during a lockdown & demand posh facilities at stretched public cost?
50 today and still solid.

Thank you all for being part of the journey (so far).

Churches can now allow sit-in congregants who have been fully vaccinated(have taken 2 doses), subject to COVID-19 protocols adherences. Pastors and clergy who are found in breach will be arrested.
Thank you all friends here 4 all those kind messages. I sincerely appreciate them. Today I met my Minister & my Brother George whose boots are too big for me. Very helpful of him. Hon Mutsvangwa (who gave me a bearhug) & I already discussed eradication of political polarisation
The philosophy of Ubuntu says, “I am because we are”. There is nothing ubuntu about killing someone because they have been born on the other side of an artificial border. There is also nothing civilised about the barbaric immolation of a human being. RIP Elvis Nyathi.
UPDATE:
The travellers from the UK will spend tonight at Belvedere Teachers' College. Police are there to ensure that noone will break the law of the Land.
Today, is my BIG brother’s BIG birthday. Please join me in wishing this man well. He has been nothing short of a doting bro since I was a little boy. He has always been very supportive of all my efforts. Vamwe vachituka paya, iye anenge achitoti, “Ramba wakatsika ipapo Nick”😅

Zimbabwe is now going to manufacture vehicle number plates locally. The price of number plates will fall from US$80.35 to US$45.61 because of the use of local materials. This is also expected to reduce the import bill by 56%.
The First Family is leading from the front in supporting Domestic Tourism. The First Family has taken its holiday in Nyanga, not Dubai, not Seychelles, not any other country, but in our own Zimbabwe.

The University of Zimbabwe has produced 50 000 theatre caps and 20 000 overshoe covers. All these and their sanitisers are part of the Natpharm order. If there is something that

With effect from February this year, any ordinary passport carrying Zimbabwean can travel to Iran without the need for a visa. This means Zimbabweans are free to travel to this country for business or tourism. Iran also offers scholarships for deserving students who wish to study…
They told you that after regime change, Iraqi will be prosperous. 20 years later Iraqi is worse. Then they murdered Qaddafi saying Libyans would be better. 12 years later Libya is a failed state. They lied. They lie. They have always done so.

We left Harare Railway Station at 1730. We had four stops on the way. We arrived in Mufakose at 1815 hours. Coming down the train was not so easy because there is no platform. Other than that we had a comfortable journey and felt safe. Thank you for following the Travel Blog

I would expect some of my leadership to make life easy for my President by making themselves “unavailable” for selection to cabinet posts. There is a lot to cherish in retirement. If one didn’t put a stash aside all these years then in all likelihood it ain’t gonna happen now

“ZIMBABWEANS living in South Africa will soon be able to apply and collect passports and national identity cards in Johannesburg and Cape Town before year-end, as the Government continues to facilitate easy access to civic documents.”
I think in Zimbabwe there is only one musician who is now in a class of his own that the only competition against him, is from himself. Hence he has to drop 2 albums to compete against each other.
FACTS:
-Is there corruption in Zimbabwe? Yes.
-Is there smuggling of minerals and forex out of the country? Yes
-Is there money laundering in Zimbabwe? Yes(including by NGOs)
-Is the Govt fully committed to getting rid of all the above ills? That’s a fact!
The 9th Cabinet Resolution directed Local Authorities to take advantage of the lockdown to decongest, renovate and refurbish market places. Gweru has done well in this regard. Kudzanai Bus terminus is ready for opening as all our structures move towards
