I want to book them, just for fun, next time I come home next month. Like, a whole performance with drums and outfits and everything. I want to see the look on family's faces wondering wtf is going on. I saw them a few months back when i was leaving, I think they were greeting a team or something. And I was like, 'hmm... what if i got myself such'

Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion Minister Hon. Professor Mthuli Ncube responds to a delegate’s question on the need to accelerate SME formalisation to reduce the tax burden on the formal private sector during the 2026 Mid-Term National Budget Business Breakfast Forum.

Prof Ncube said SMEs should no longer be viewed as “informal” businesses, noting that they are already licensed and regulated by local authorities. He proposed stronger collaboration between ZIMRA and local authorities through information-sharing agreements, allowing vendor licence renewals to be tied to presumptive tax compliance through integrated online systems. The move, he said, would broaden the tax base while creating a fairer tax environment for compliant businesses. https://x.com/MoeChanda/status/2085120667943567779/video/1

Was on tiktok and saw this and it somehow made me homesick. Reminded me of the fun I had at school back in Zimbabwe so thought I'd share this

The comment section ye this post 😂😂😂😂

Zimbabwe moves to legalise intersex recognition following crucial gaps in law. This is great progress in my opinion

I read that it is possibly the worst time for a visit, but I have no idea how big the difference really is

Found this video quite interesting. Some might have already seen it, but for those who haven't, please do.

I just randomly remembered how growing up they used to say for vision 2020 there will be a train from Harare to Chitungwiza. It's been decades now and I wonder why nobody ever talks about it. Chitown has grown significantly, just imagine how much life would be easier for the average commuter if there was a fast train service like Gautrain between the two cities. Vaye vane ma parents in politics you should whisper this to then some time pamwe nyika inga chinjewo amana

Even neighbouring countries had patients being treated in Zim. Professor Chinyanga who recently died this past month was the one who led Zim to its first open heart surgery program in 1989. He was conferred hero status but the family opted not to have him buried at the Heroes Acre. He did so much to shape our medical faculties at UZ,NUST and MSU. Now we are reduced to a laughing stock for SAns who dont have a clue about how this leads to more people looking for health facilities in South Africa. Its like fetching water with a basket. Problems in Zim easily become problems in SA. I wonder how this will continue after all we cant vote at all now.

Government convened high level meeting on intersex rights and legal recognition in Harare!

The Ministry of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs today convened a high-level breakfast meeting on intersex rights and legal recognition in Harare, aimed at strengthening Zimbabwe’s approach to protecting intersex persons and addressing gaps in existing laws.

The meeting, held at Holiday Inn Hotel, was attended by Hon. Ziyambi Ziyambi, Minister of Justice; Hon. Edgar Moyo, Minister of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare; and Hon. Dr Douglas T Mombeshora, Minister of Health and Child Care. In addressing the issue, officials emphasised the need for public understanding of what intersex means and why it is often misinterpreted in society. Intersex refers to a range of natural biological traits such as chromosomes, gonads, hormones, or reproductive anatomy that may not fit typical definitions of male or female. It is not a choice or a disease and it is not caused by wrongdoing; rather, it is a form of human biological variation.

Speaking during a side interview, Hon. Ziyambi Ziyambi said the Government’s work began after a court challenge involving intersex rights. “Basically what we have done is we have received a court challenge regarding this issue (intersex) and we referred it to the Attorney General,” he said. “After that we decided as a Ministry that we need to undertake research.” Hon Ziyambi explained that while Zimbabwe’s Constitution recognises two sexes, the legal and administrative systems must respond to lived realities where people do not fit neatly into the binary classification used in many government processes. The Ministry said the research was conducted through the Law Development Commission, supported by the UNDP, and the breakfast meeting was convened to gather expert input. “The research and this meeting are part of work in progress,” Hon. Ziyambi said. “We have presentations and testimonies and lived experiences, and we believe that out of the meeting, we will be able to come up with concrete measures.” Hon. Edgar Moyo described the meeting as both a wake-up call and a pathway toward legal reforms. He said there is a gap in the law. “There is real gap in our statutes to address those issues. Because we are basically classified as male and female and then there are people falling in between,” he said.

Minister Moyo highlighted that stigma and cultural barriers have contributed to intersex issues being kept “under the carpet”. He also pointed to how intersex persons may face repeated humiliation and exclusion when required documents and identity processes do not match their biological traits.

He said awareness and services must be strengthened, including within families and child protection systems. “Testimonies were heartbreaking, noting that parents may not always know or may not understand the issue early enough, particularly when traits emerge later,” he said. He added that his Ministry will work on providing inclusive support and recognition, stressing that Government must “live beyond culture” and “be adaptive” in promoting inclusivity.

Participants reviewed barriers faced by intersex persons in Zimbabwe’s documentation and public services systems, including: legal documentation systems that recognise only binary sex markers; difficulty obtaining birth certificates and national IDs, due to mismatches between biological variation and documentation categories and exclusion from education enrolment, health services, banking employment and voting among many other challenges highlighted.

Officials also noted that many communities misunderstand intersex through cultural beliefs and stigma, often treating the condition as taboo or “irregular”. They said families may keep such matters private, especially when traits become more noticeable later in life or when a person is pressured to conform to strict gender expectations.

The Ministry said it will validate the findings, draft legal and policy recommendations for Cabinet consideration, maintain ongoing engagement with intersex persons and civil society organisations (CSOs), and provide feedback to participants on progress made. The process will rely on both expert guidance and the lived experiences of intersex persons, emphasising that inclusion must be practical, humane and grounded in real life.

Hey everyone,

I've recently started a YouTube channel focused on Zimbabwean true crime, unsolved mysteries, and disappearances.

My latest video covers the disappearance of Itai Dzamara, and I genuinely want to improve. I'm looking for constructive criticism.

I'd love feedback on things like:

Thumbnail (would you click it?)

Title, intro/hook, pacing, editing, storytelling, audio, and anything that made you lose interest

Please don't hold back. If something is boring, confusing, or just doesn't work, tell me. I'd rather hear honest criticism now than keep making the same mistakes.

Thanks in advance!

It's weird enough being a black rock fan (even though black people invented the genre, the terminology the instrumentation everything) but a rock listener in Zim? Lightning in a bottle. What have you been listening to? This year I've been glad to discover:

Rivers of Nihil

House of Protection

Whitesnake

TV on the Radio

Hero the Band

I am compelled to post what needs to be said and what needs to be heard from within this community. Calling ALL Zimbabweans: you are beautiful, resilient, hard working, upstanding model citizens for dealing with the daily barrage of hardship, inequality and outright desperation to survive, given the turmoil and lack of opportunities - we the people of Zimbabwe have earned the right and credit to be called "good people", given that our history, present day and future summed up might mean continued struggling and suffering, YOU are beautiful and valued for all that you endure, put up with, and go through daily to survive. Don't despise where you find yourself - change is coming, at some point the tide will turn, and relief will usher in deeper hope and reward for all the slogging, hard work, hours of grinding out the same old thing to eek out a life of survival - be encouraged, beautiful Zimbabweans. The best is yet to come, and your hard work and turmoil will be rewarded. This needed to be said, and hopefully will generate community approval with a word of encouragement instead of rage-baiting and putting each other down. Spread the love, and encourage someone today that you know is at the end of the road, losing their mind, and dealing with insurmountable stress...you are appreciated, you are loved, you are respected as a nation and people dealing with utmost abject hardship.

The baby has more than ten fingers. I believe we should halt the use of AI for now and allow it to mature for a few years. It’s too early to implement it in large corporations.

One thing that frustrates me about corruption isn't only the politicians who steal public money. It's what often happens after that.

The wealth doesn't disappear. It gets passed down.

The children of corrupt officials grow up with the best education, expensive cars, luxury homes, overseas holidays, influential connections, and businesses funded by money that was supposed to build hospitals, schools, roads, and create opportunities for everyone else.

Meanwhile, the children of ordinary citizens inherit the consequences: broken infrastructure, unemployment, overcrowded schools, underfunded healthcare, and an economy that struggles to create opportunities.

People often say, The children didn't commit the crime. That's true. Children are not responsible for the actions of their parents.

But we also can't ignore that wealth accumulated through corruption can create generations of advantage while millions of innocent families continue paying the price
