1. Having been married for 21 years, I realised there is no 50/50 in marriage. An example when we buy appliances and furniture for the home, we go with what she likes, it’s more important to her. It took me time to realise that. The flip side when we buy a car she says this car

I enjoy being a simp, home by 6pm & if not I update to my wife not to worry. I do the school runs (the highlight of my day👌🏿)if I buy nice food away from home, I always leave some for our last born. My wife knows exactly how much I earn. I consult my wife on important decisions.

MONEY in a marriage
@bethkay1
1. I came to SA 6 years after I got married, I remember this workmate asking if MaNyoni knew exactly how much I earned, I told him yes, he was so shocked 😯
I learnt from my parents. My dad was a police officer & my mum was a housewife. When my

I SHARE my marriage experience because I wish someone had told me what to expect.
1. No one told me that pregnancy can alter a person that much. My wife generally is chilled & does not panic like me 🤪 after our lobola ceremony in Sept 2001 she moved in with me in Avondale.

MIGRATING from Zimbabwe
1.Leaving your country of birth for the unknown is something that you can’t take lightly but the situation in Zimbabwe can really force you. In early 1999 my cousin left for UK before they introduced visa for Zimbabweans. My friends from work also left

A number of Zimbabweans living in Zimbabwe genuinely believe they are much better off than people in South Africa. This sentiment is quickly expressed in arguments. Whilst SA has it’s own problems from crime, racism, xenophobia etc it is nowhere near the state that Zim is in.

IT SEEMS the issue of sharing cellphones with your spouse has to do with whether people do share secrets with their spouses

A picture is worth a thousand words. The way I understand & agree with Shadaya is summed up👉🏾“ No man wants to be with another man”. The way I understand marriage is that a woman must submit. I wouldn’t worry too much about black Americans given the prevalent broken family there.
The emasculation of men continues...you can already tell who the man is in this relationship...that dude about to be a proud mother of 2😂😂😂

ADVICE TO young men, tiza miyedzo

YOUR MOST important decision, whom you marry☝🏿

MANAGING money is a skill

WHAT I WISH I KNEW when I was finishing high school

Every election season Zanu-PF youths get power. ZRP becomes powerless to deal with them. It’s been like this since independence. 1985 elections, youths dragged a ZAPU supporter from Amaveni Police, Kwekwe & murdered him, I won’t forget his blood on the tar road from charge office

I am sorry about what is happening in Zim, transport, currency issues etc
My opinion is as Zimbabweans collectively we deserve Zanu-PF rule. Some are banking on 2023 yet we know that Zanu owns ZEC. Imagine this happening in SA gvt wouldn’t last a day but alas we are ‘educated’😡

Deep down our problem as Zimbos is not necessarily Zanu-PF but our psyche. We are too individualistic, we don’t feel for the next person hanzi chero zvangu zvaita. Here in SA the person who will likely pull you down is another Zimbo. Let change our mentality & everything improves

In an argument you may be correct in facts and end up losing because she will say I don’t like your tone, I’m like what are you talking about 🤷🏾♀️ You end up saying sorry 😬

I know so many Chaukes in Zimbabwe. My advice is that if Zulus consider your origin as Shangani or you look like someone from Zimbabwe, Mozambique etc you have no business being xenophobic because when the attacks happen you won’t be spared. Ask Vendas, Tsongas about 2008 attacks

As someone who has been married for almost 20 years, here is my 2 cents worth
- Your wife is a full human being with hopes & dreams like you, you can’t impose such things
- Work fulfills a lot of needs not just finance only
- Rather support & complement your wife avoid resentment

3. Anything you say during an argument can be used against you or may open a new angle or a new argument. My advice to men, stick to the main facts & a few words, don’t wonder around.
Whilst you love your wife, don’t stay at home the whole day. Ukanyanya kukumbira🍑 unonzwa

I am registered voter, if I eventually decide to vote I will vote for Chamisa as he has the best chances of dislodging Zanu-PF. However I am disillusioned with him, he is different from Tsvangirai who took the regime head on. Chamisa might do better as a prosperity gospel pastor.

I am turning 47 in a few months, it’s too late for me to think of relocating overseas. I remember when I relocated to SA at the age of 31, it was one of the most painful adjustments, I ever had to do. I promised myself never to put myself through something like that ever again.

If you aspire to run your own hustle one day, start by being a hardworker where you are currently employed. You need to condition your mind to be disciplined right now, by the time you start your business it might be too late to learn. Guess what I already arrived at work at 5:40

In a normal country which adheres to rule of law such a Gvt decision would not fly. Arrest those 2 reckless drivers, don’t affect the business, other employees of the 2 bus companies who are adhering to the law and also don’t inconvenience members of the public who rely on buses.

My calculations of border fees driving home with SA registered car
- bridge toll fees ($9.50 x 2)= R19
- Zim border fees ($27 x 2)=$54
- TIP = $50
Total = $123
Driving to Botswana you only pay P165 (less than $13 for insurance) why is

In a marriage women still bear more burden of raising children, managing the home & doing most of the chores. If you want to talk of slavery in the marriage you are describing women & not men.
