No Netflix? Or you’re all Netflix’d out?
Looking for something different?🖥
Here’s a thread of some of my fave web series and shows you can watch on YouTube! ✨
Why do staff at the Zimbabwean embassy in London still insist on speaking to people in Shona before establishing that they speak the language. Please, if you work at the embassy in London- remember that not every Zimbabwean speaks or wants to speak Shona.
I have a friend who is rich, like real life rich rich. I get so much great advice from her on money stuff etc but deep down I just wish she’d give me money😂😂😂
I really wish I could get funding to research on the impact of migration on Zim, the impact on our social fabric. It’s so fascinating to me but sad too because there’s so much that becomes apparent especially when you travel back to Zim and see parents ageing alone, families
A few things I got from
@nelsonchamisa
speech from the Bulawayo rally
1. Reinstate Matabeleland as the industrial capital
2. De-Hararerise national products
3. Establish Truth & reconciliation to address Gukurahundi
4. Make Mat the centre for Arts & Culture

Darius is low down coz he’s obviously the one who put the audio out & when he was recording - he kept goading her to mention the bullet
People who come from wealthy families and safe environments definitely come with a certain built-in confidence. Life is like a sandbox, they’re aren’t scared to fail because there’s always love, safety and resources at home.
In Zimbabwe, I can assure you almost every “young” person who positions themselves as impartial, objective, on the fence - has directly or indirectly benefited from Zanu PF. Mostly through their families. How can you be objective when your youth and future has been mortgaged?!
Travelling to Zim should come with a financial warning because the way I’m still recovering financially from my last Zim trip. Can anyone else relate? How long does it take you on average to “recover”?
Chris Mustvangwa really doesn’t have the temperament for these debates. I doubt he thought 8 months later the coup Gvt would be getting such challenge from the people. They really thought it’d be a walk in the park & we’d be chanting kutonga kwaro all 2018.
#ZimDecides2018
When the story of Zanu PF is told, it has to be told how they introduced these new groups:
-Diaspora Orphans
-Western Union Babies
-WhatsApp Parents
This is their legacy.

Guys can we please share tips, links below of countries where there are opportunities to study, work, etc. Scholarships, what the visa process is like, step by step guide.
Please share links, anything. Let’s help each other please 👇🏾
#ElectionZW
Can we please talk about how ZanuPF has surgically emasculated most Zimbabwean men.
Imagine the pain every term of begging your child’s school to negotiate payment of fees, not being able to enjoy the pride that comes with treating your wife & kids to a holiday, anywhere...
Was chatting with some friends abt

It hit home that from age 18, every month, I’ve been sending money home..because Zim.
I hardly have any significant investments compared to my peers from other countries. I personally can’t afford 5 more years of this 😢
Listening to Meghan Markle’s podcast with Serena Williams. Interesting to learn that their nanny (or one of them I’m assuming) is Zimbabwean & she’s describing how she bhabhulas the baby
Legal immigration status & compliance alone doesn’t always shield pple from harm or anti-immigrant sentiment.
Xenophobia stems from deep-rooted biases, economic fears, social tensions, & it can affect anyone, regardless of status. Anyone perceived as an outsider can get it.
Today, I paid my last respects to Mr Canaan Zinothi Moyo. One of the pioneers of ZAPU, a fierce defender of justice and critic of Robert Mugabe when it wasn't the popular thing to do. He's one of

If ED had actually won, we’d already be having the inauguration today!! He’d be doing the crocodile shuffle and Jah Prayzah & Sandra Ndebele would be making us sick right now.
They haven’t won.

The cruel thing about loss is that your world crumbles but the world doesn’t stop, it keeps going & it keeps demanding your presence and contribution, for you to function even when a part of you has died too.
Happiness is getting Mazoe, umkhemeswane, umviyo, umnyiyi, uxakuxaku, cerevita. Ultimate Zim care package!
Yajabula inhliziyo yami♥️
Thank you to oomf for getting me the cerevita 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Can we talk abt how legendary Lookout Khalisabantu Masuku was.
On his deathbed - he had one request, a watermelon. What followed was a nationwide search (it was out of season) Joshua Nkomo, Tshinga Dube, Vote Moyo, Dumiso & Zodwa Dabengwa looking for one.

If a vending machine doesn’t work & isn’t dispensing orders, you wouldn’t continue putting your coins in - in the hope that in some magical way, it will work. You’d demand that it be replaced & you get your money back. Zanu, in this instance, is the vending machine. It has to go!
There are 2 types of guys I’m learning to stay away from. Guys with a woman best friend... you end up being just part of their scenic route to them being together.
Or guys who ended r/ships coz of distance...as soon as their papers sorted, they flying out to their true loves😩
Fadzayi Mahere is a star, she’s undeniably competent, she’s a leader. She’s a dynamic thinker and clearly someone who wouldn’t want to “rule” forever. That is the President I want. The candidate I’d campaign for enthusiastically. This needs to happen 🇿🇼
ZanuPF really robbed our grandparents of any form of dignified retirement. Measly pensions they can’t survive on, they can’t even take cash out at banks - they’re mostly at the mercy of their children & grandchildren - who also are struggling & unemployed. These pple hv broken us
The Olympics definitely show the extent of colonisation. So many countries with histories linked to Britain, France, Spain, Portugal & more. Seychelles was named after a French Minister of Finance??
#Paris2024
Minister of State for Presidential Affairs in Charge of Implementation and Monitoring..... but you couldn’t implement in your former ministry... how does this work?
Just finished watching
#BabyReindeer
and it’s truly gut wrenching and takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. The fact that it’s based on true events makes it even more 🤯🤯
Have we been so traumatised that we can’t even think critically & progressively? When people start romanticising Mugabe, Ian Smith - there’s something seriously wrong. It’s all unacceptable.
Can I just say how proud I am of my family- my 2 cousins from Aus have just arrived in Byo & are headed to vote Chamisa and another cousin based in Tanzania arrived earlier this morning & cast his vote for Nkosana.
My uncle travelled from Famona to Gifford. I’m so proud of them
I urge Zimbabweans to tell their stories. Filmmakers, musicians, authors, commentators, speakers, actors etc. Let's be at the forefront of sharing our various perspectives and not be left behind.
#Zimbabwe
Thank you Linda, guardian of the Zim constitution, Sensei of all things law, gatekeeper of all declaratory orders, adjudicator of all that is competent.
Just gone through the soft copy of the
@MDCAllianceZW
application. Unfortunately I can't comment on a case that is before the courts as my President
@DrThoko_Khupe
is a respondent. The declaratory order that they're seeking is incompetent at law.
Guys, just seen ED’s comments of his army killing people😢🙆🏾♀️
How do we have a leader who shows no emotion, has to read from a paper to talk about pple DYING!! no empathy, no connecting with hurting people. Wow, like no emotion or care.
I’m gonna be using this disclaimer from here onwards coz yhuu Guys the coloniser’s language be showing me flames.

Also how gorgeous is Makho 😍
Good Evening, the Directors of Global Shield Constructions have also decided to celebrate the Union of the two and we are going to Design a House plan of their choice and do all the costing free of Charge.
@PTChimusoro
The same pple who killed our grandparents in Gukurahundi and have never apologised - they are here, wanting us to give them a chance.
Lozikeyi, we are waiting for a signal. How should we treat them mama?
Our families have been broken,
distance has robbed us of being with the love of our lives,
we've missed milestones with our siblings..
Our situation is NOT normal.

@ronkelawal
I also think it’s how they are perceived by the ‘elites’. Even with the same amount of money, if they had an east London accent - they were not welcome in elite spaces. So probably plays a role in them claiming working class
If you’ve been following Zim politics and are over a certain age, I just can’t take you seriously when you ask what CCC stands for, why you should support. You still need pple to handhold you to understand why your country needs change & what the pragmatic first step is?
