Hospital executives& Doctors have opened private surgeries.Nurses are hired there on part time bases. Some politicians have pharmacy businesses. Thats where mishonga are going. You go to hospital they refer you to a pharmacy or private doctor ine mishonga💔🇿🇼
So today I spent the whole day in bed. I'm just resting. I only woke up to eat. It's important to have some me time. 😛
#LetsTalkZimlife cont...So am just looking at my very dry garden and am praying that rain comes soon. Gone are the days when we used to have green lawns and beautiful flowers in most of the gardens around. So it seems we have normalised not having clean running water from the taps 24/7.
Water trickles in once or sometimes twice a week just so that people can fill up their jojo tanks.
My question is when are we going to have clean drinking water 24/7? Are we content to having boreholes and jojo tanks everywhere now? Tava kugara mugrowth point here nhai? @JMafume
Where is Mudhara Cass? Haven't seen him for some days? @ZimLingo @sunduzawekanyi @BeeNubian @leesah_zimbo @OctaviandlovuN

Do you think that he could be stuck somewhere in a coconut groove?

Way back when I was in Form 4 kwaNerupiri, the only guy with a solar panel was our Geo teacher ainzi Tota. One day he came to class fuming aine chamboko. Called someone and said "Haaa ndina ku te-nga solar ku-ku-ti ndimake ma-ma-bhuku akanzi pollution is caused nevanhu va-va-nomamira mudziva" Three decades later, I still don't understand if he was mad about the answer or that the guy wrote that in Shona😭 Anyway, glad to see solar access is improving. We need solar tiles too
More Zimbabwean homes run on solar than on ZESA.
2,082,785 households (58.4%) use solar as their main electricity source, vs 1,479,990 (41.5%) on the grid. In rural areas it's 86.8% solar. #dailyviz

This thing of ruling by immediate effect doesn't work,
Fix the roads
Fix the hospitals
Fix the economy
Fed up of people who wake up and create laws.
Some of these buildings belong to pensioners who have been impoverished by the numerous currency changes. Liyadina lina
Down memory lane. I used to buy bread at that shop when I was 16 years old. Years later nothing much has changed. 😔
#LetsTalkZimlife...In short I just want to say in anything that you do on this earth always know that money can't buy life.
Ndinehurombo on the loss of lives. MTSRIP 🙏
#LetstalkZimlife...So last Sat I went on a road trip to Zvishavane to attend the funerals of my uncle and Aunt. My uncle had recently enjoyed a party for his 95th birthday. Two weeks later he died in his sleep. On the way we received another message that my Uncle's sister had also passed away in Gweru. She had been bed ridden after suffering a massive stroke since Feb this year. We ended up having two funerals back to back.
The funerals were a beautiful send off. Nyaradzo did a splendid job.
Mtsrip 😪

So I have noticed that there is a lot of cutting down of trees along Harare Drive and other areas. Are the National Parks and EMA aware of this deforestation taking place? Trees make our areas beautiful and they keep our environment air fresh. They store all the carbon. Do we have a national land policy on cutting down trees? Trees take many years to grow, and we need to preserve them as much as possible. Its so heartbreaking to see trees being cut down like this. 💔
#LetsTalkZimlife cont...I have not been posting much because I wasn't getting any of those rare attacks of intelligence cos I had run out of Jacobs Coffee imagine. So finally I managed to squeeze a few dollars out of my meagre income to buy the JC. Now where were we? Lets start with the pending vendor street clean up. Now the way I see it behind every vendor on the the street there is a story behind it. There is a hungry child at home waiting to be fed, rent to be paid, school fees and meds for the sick to be bought. Let us first find the root cause of this problem and sort it out. Why do we have so many vendors on the streets? 🤔

One day I’ll tell you about how I spent almost a year without working but the Germany social security system took care of me and my family (wife and 3 kids, no side chick 🤭)
My X family it’s with great please that I tell you that I got a job, the kind of job I love and will not get bored working week in week out.
I’ll share the update on LinkedIn as usual and once that done I’ll share more details.
Ndakopera my brother @TheLifeZoomer, more details coming in due course but for now let me look for an apartment in the new town I’m moving to😉😉
