Zimbabwean woman Pummy Hadebe has won a major UK transport award after helping deliver a baby on her bus in Glasgow. She was driving a Service 23 bus for McGill’s Buses on 29 November 2025 when a pregnant passenger went into labour on the way to hospital with her partner. Realising the baby was about to come, Pummy stopped, called emergency services and helped with the delivery before paramedics got there. She then put the newborn on the mother’s stomach and used a towel from her own bag to keep the baby warm. Mother and baby were later taken to hospital and said to be fine. On 1 October 2026, Pummy was named Frontline Employee/Community Champion of the Year at the UK National Transport Awards in London.

Being a better ally to the Deaf community starts with understanding and respect. Use Deaf-friendly language, make eye contact, and make an effort to learn Sign Language. Every step toward better communication helps build a more inclusive community. #DeafAwareness #SignLanguage

I’m 46, with 8 yrs of running experience, sharing what I learn through reels. Someone age-shamed me over my age & wrinkles. This is what a 46 yr old runner looks like after a run. Sweaty, red-faced, wrinkles and all. I’m not trying to look younger. I’m trying to run better. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈβ€οΈ

Meet Tinodashe Mangenda, a talented 22-year-old sculptor who is carrying forward a family tradition in stone carving. Tinodashe’s journey into sculpture was inspired by his father, Farai Mangenda, who has been a strong influence and a driving force behind his creative development. With a deep appreciation for his heritage, Tinodashe is committed to building on the artistic legacy passed down by his father. He hopes to see their family’s work continue to grow and gain recognition beyond Zimbabwe. At just 22, Tinodashe is part of a new generation of Zimbabwean sculptors keeping the country’s rich stone-carving tradition alive, one stone at a time. πŸ“Έ Chitungwiza Arts Centre

PLEASE SHAREπŸ™πŸΎ | 5-year-old Aiden needs your help Five-year-old Aiden was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in June 2024. He has gone through months of chemotherapy and treatment, but sadly, his cancer has returned. Doctors have said that chemotherapy is no longer enough and that Aiden urgently needs a bone marrow transplant. The procedure is not available in Zimbabwe, so he has been referred to Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi, India. The family has so far managed to raise just over US$17,000 of the US$41,500 needed for his treatment. They are now racing against time to raise the remaining funds and get Aiden the transplant he urgently needs. The family is appealing for donations, no matter how small, and is also asking people to share the fundraiser widely. To help Aiden: Bank: Stanbic Bank, Mutare Branch Account Name: Simon Mbofana Account Number: 9140002729864 EcoCash/InBucks: 0772535278 Name: Auxilia Tanyaradzwa Mbofana GoFundMe: Link available below Every donation and share could help give Aiden another chance at life. ❀️

In life, you must strive to be yourself and pioneer things that cannot be repeated. In Zimbabwe we built Kondozi. A model that will never be repeated. Not because people lack capacity. But because the intellectual capital behind it cannot be duplicated. We pioneered the blueberry industry in Zimbabwe. We created a sustainable market in China. That specific blueprint cannot be replicated again. At the Dow Jones in New York, we created a sustainable index fund with Dow Jones. That model cannot be replicated again. In world literature, we started the lobby for _The Mathematics of Food_. That innovation cannot be replicated. Through harassment, false cases, and attempts to bury us β€” *God has delivered us every time, because He turned us into a seed.* Today we wait for our final global achievement. We ask God for His mercy and deliverance, just as He has done in all these achievements before. Because true pioneers don’t copy. They create what the world will spend the next 20 years trying to copy. #NewThinking #MathematicsOfFood #Pioneer #Leadership #Africa #Seed
