Considering the devastating effects of alcohol on individuals, families, and communities. It's disheartening to see @BillGates invest in a company that contributes to the global burden of alcohol-related harm. We need leaders to take a stand against alcohol, not prop it up.

Alcohol and drugs are structural drivers for violence against women. There is a great need for reducing availability and creating safe spaces free from alcohol and drugs to protect women and children. @OMpslsw @MoHCCZim

This #HeroesDay I celebrate the late Dr Timothy Stamps, former Minister @MoHCCZim & Health Advisor to the president cabinet. He was a committed public health advocate and patriot who wanted to see a #Zimbabwe free from alcohol harm through drafting the National Alcohol Policy.

@Nyaradzo_Group I was shocked and disappointed by your insensitive bus driver who forced a bereaved family to walk 5km at night to the funeral homestead because he was more worried about his bus getting scratched by tree leaves. You are such a shameful Sahwira.
We face neither East nor West; We face forward Kwame Nkrumah #AfricaDay
Much like Chimurenga music – which spurred the liberation struggle era youth in their fight to dismantle colonialism – it is not far-fetched to draw parallels with #ZimDancehall as an expression of the socio – economic struggles faced by contemporary Zimbabwean youth.

Songs like Kuponda Nhamo by @SoulJahLove1 or @Killert Takuda Kumbofarawo can be counted among the soundtracks to this economic struggle, urging on the youth in their quest for economic emancipation and the search for a better life. #ripsouljahlove avacarts.com/zim-dancehall-a…
