There will be strange happenings in the next 90 days that will shape the destiny of Zimbabwe. I urge you to be prayerful during this season. The separation will be evident. There will be clear daylight between criminals and statesman, constitutionalists and terrorists. It will be clear where everyone stands ie pretenders & genuine. When your new president arrives ALL, everyone has chosen a side and you can't walk it back in the new era. The season is upon us.

Thank you all for the comforting words, messages and prayers during this difficult time. Today we laid our beloved Aunt Grace to rest at our family shrine in Redhill, Njanja. Your support has carried us through. A heartfelt thank you to Father Sheward Madonga and the Roman Catholic Diocese for presiding over a dignified send-off, and to our village community for standing with the Pfende family and grandchildren in such strong numbers. We have arrived back home safely. Rest in peace, Auntie Gracinda. Good night.

After what was a deeply memorable occasion celebrating the lives of our dearly departed grandparents and uncles, our family has been plunged into mourning. My Aunt Grace sadly passed away after our return from Njanja. She suffered a bad fall on Saturday, and although we initially thought it was a knee injury, it later emerged she had sustained a serious fracture. On Sunday morning, she woke up in severe pain and was rushed to a local clinic at Sadza Growth Point, before being transferred to Harare where she was due for surgery. Tragically, she suffered a heart attack brought on by underlying heart disease and did not make it. Aunt Grace, the youngest sister to Mhamha Rose, was 70. We will now be heading back to Njanja, where she will be laid to rest at the family shrine in Redhill, Friday, 17 April. We did not imagine that the joy and togetherness we experienced on Saturday, 11 April, would end this way. Rest in peace, Aunt Grace 😢

@tembo_shephard Instead of quickly cordoning off the area, treating it as a crime scene and forensically comb the area, the area is like a tourist attraction. Sad.

@ZRP_Zim is USELESS. 18 perish in an unprecedented conflagration. Yet the scene remains unsecured. No cordon. No criminology team in site. Sight seers contaminating everything. Obviously they will NEVER forensically solve this. What's the purpose of this militia? Hopeless 🚮

##NjanjaChronicles #TheHomecoming #TheKingIsAround Saturday 11 April will sit firmly in my history books ,one of the most memorable, emotional and deeply satisfying days, all wrapped up in a small bag of love. After a full year of planning, 35 grandchildren travelled from across the globe and gathered at the village in Redhill, Njanja, to honour and celebrate the lives and legacy of our dearly departed grandparents, Joseph Mackenzie Magende Pfende (15/10/1910 – 30/06/1988) and Helen Brooks (06/11/1918 – 17/08/1991). My grandfather settled in Redhill around 1940, where he established the first store in the area. A man of few words, but decisive in action. His story deserves more than a single post. My grandmother, Helen, was the daughter of Ambuya Chitema of Chihota and a Scottish immigrant who left soon after her birth. She was strong, hardworking, and deeply rooted in tradition. Despite standing out , light-skinned, with flowing hair , she became part of the community in a way that mattered. She worked the land tirelessly, alongside workers and, at times, us grandchildren during school holidays, while Granddad worked as a chauffeur for the MD of African Distillers in the 1970s. We also took time to remember our uncles. Roger Brooks-Pfende (10/03/1949 – 21/04/1981), whose life was tragically cut short after unknowingly drinking traditional beer laced with poison at a community function , an incident that shook the entire Denhere community. Onias George “Mapepa” Mackenzie Pfende (20/08/1947 – 20/06/1998) , a surveyor par excellence, a storyteller, and a man full of compassion. His work helped shape places like New Ardbennie Industrial area and Rufaro Stadium. Newton Brooks (10/01/1951 – 07/07/2024) , “the philosopher.” A wise, gentle man, a great listener, and one of those uncles I could run to for advice back in my dating days 😆 And Martin Brooks-Pfende (16/03/1942 – 22/10/2001) , a fighter and a brawler, loved his fast cars and everything that came with being the OG in the hood of Kong 😆 He worked at Salisbury Municipality, later Harare City Council. Worked hard. Played hard. For many of us, it was a remembrance and a reunion. Some cousins I hadn’t seen in 25 years. Some meeting for the very first time. There was laughter. There were stories. Drinks flowed, music carried through the night, and a strong team of murooras made sure no one went hungry. We sat around the fire until the early hours, reconnecting, remembering, and restoring something that time had quietly stretched. It was waaaay more than a gathering, it was a homecoming. And to say I need a recharge is an understatement. I’m off the grid Monday and Tuesday 😆

#Tikatsamwa... Ever heard of an Honesty Box? This is how it works. "An honesty box is typically: A small, unattended roadside stall. Selling items like fruit, vegetables, eggs, flowers, or honey With a price list and a container (“honesty box”) for payment Customers: Take what they want Leave the correct payment in the box (traditionally cash) There is no staff, checkout, or supervision involved." I ran past an Honest Box this morning selling ICE. I have seen a number of these in a rural setting but this one is on a busy Main Road in The City. You simply pick your bag of ice and leave the cash in the box.

A Graze Review . Redemption Served Hot 🍳🔥
#JourneyToSkies 7 April, 2026 #KweKwePitStop #KingSolomonHotel By the time we landed in Kwekwe, the Midlands heartbeat of Zimbabwe, I was beyond hungry. And when I’m hungry, I’ll be honest, my mood goes south quickly… snappy, impatient, not my finest trait, but we’re working on it. Now this stop came with history. My last visit to the King Solomon Hotel, formerly the Golden Mile Motel (still sounds better to me), on 13 October 2023 was a disaster. Now just to put things into perspective… Frame 3 was the October 2023 plate. A boiled egg just sitting there, potatoes that looked like they’d barely met the oil, bacon folded into itself like it didn’t want to be involved, and a random pile of what looked like meatballs and beans thrown on as an afterthought. It was just a plate that felt like it gave up before it even started. 😂 Boiled egg, potatoes… and a long, uncomfortable drive to @CityofBulawayo after that. The kind of meal that lingers for all the wrong reasons. So walking back in this time, I won’t lie, it felt like a gamble. We stepped into the dining area and hit them with a loud “Gooood Morning!”,two staff members busy shifting tables looked up, and one of them hit me back with, “Ah,Good Morning, is that you, King.?” That caught me off guard. Turns out it was Patson Dzike, a familiar face from the Harare days,Archipelago, Beer Engine at Jameson Hotel… OG industry pedigree. Good guy, warm energy, easy to like. He became our guy for the morning. We ordered breakfast. No buffet nonsense for me, I like my food fresh, cooked properly, no shortcuts. We took our seats outside by the pool. Sunshine on the skin, cool breeze in the air… perfect setting. Then Patson arrives with the plates, neatly wrapped in cling film (a very Zim touch, you see it everywhere). First glance… I already knew things had changed. This plate looked like someone cared. The mazai… perfect. Over easy, just how I like them, soft yolks sitting pretty. The boerewors was thick, juicy, full of flavour, no complaints there at all. The baked beans were dolled up to give them a spicy,but sweet’n’ sour taste. Now the bacon… crispy enough, but wrong cut for me. I’m a streaky man, not back bacon. Next time we fix that. But then… the plot twist. A piece of chicken. On a breakfast plate.🤦🏽‍♂️😩 I had to pause. Then I told Patson straight,chicken has no business being anywhere near a plate like this. Not now, not ever. That was culinary treason. And then the raw onion and tomato situation… that ghetto bottle store “salad” needs to be retired permanently. At least cook it down into a proper tomato and onion gravy, give it some heat, some flavour. Don’t just drop it there like an afterthought. Fix those two things, and this plate levels up instantly. That said… credit where it’s due. This breakfast restored my faith in this place. Big improvement, no question. Shoutout to the kitchen for stepping it up, and to Patson Dzike for that top-tier, personal service. That man knows how to look after people. 6.7/10 @TeamFuloZim the Ghetto bottle store “salad” and the inclusion of chicken on a breakfast plate lost them valuable points. Two breakfasts, coffee, toast… US$20. Now that… is value for money. Frame One and Two ,Breakfast on 7 April ,2026. Frame Three breakfast on 13 October,2023 Frame Four the OG himself, Patson Dzike our server and host with the most. I was looking terrible in flip flops and socks so I cropped myself out 😅 #TheKingIsAround #HappinessIsOurBusiness

#JourneyToSkies Continued 7 April,2026 Still no brekkie , we couldn’t locate Dave’s Kitchen in Kadoma, so we kept it moving. Next stop: Kwekwe. Last year we swung by a spot called Gazzania, tucked just off the main highway to Skies. The brekkie hit the spot. I did raise an eyebrow at the unwashed look on the crockery, but our server Whitney sorted it out quickly , and we carried on. The year before that, we stopped at the King Solomon’s Motel formerly the Golden Mile Motel (Golden Mile, great name, by the way). That visit left me underwhelmed… a boiled egg and sautéed potatoes isn’t quite the statement you want from a brekkie. Still, I’m one for second chances. Every joint deserves that. So we pulled in… Standby for the brekkie review… #TheKingIsAround #HappinessIsOurBusiness #BeautifulZimbabwe

➡️ The way Icarus (Wicknell) is so casually hanging on the "President's" vehicle, dominating the scene, and being allowed to do whatever he wants - with that stupid grin on his face, reveals the truth of the matter. 🤷🏾‍♂️ ED is a mere sock puppet. They own and control him. There is no such useless President as this.

VP Chiwenga Emerges as People’s Champion Amidst Zimbabwe’s Power Hungry Politicians By Isaac Makomichi In the turbulent waters of Zimbabwean politics, where power games often eclipse public service, one figure stands out for his unapologetic focus on accountability and citizen voice, VP Constantino Chiwenga. While some politicians scramble to rewrite history for personal gain and others allegedly plunder state resources with impunity, General Chiwenga has emerged as a different breed, a leader who puts the people first. Recent months have laid bare the stark contrasts within the ruling establishment. On one side, there is a frantic push for Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 of 2026 the so-called “term extension” bill. Gazetted in February by Ziyambi and Jonathan Moyo, the bill proposes changes that would stretch presidential and parliamentary terms from five to seven years, shift presidential selection to Parliament, and consolidate executive control over key institutions. Critics, including retired generals and civil society voices, have slammed it as a “constitutional coup” designed to prolong President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s stay in office beyond 2028. The bill has sparked heated parliamentary hearings, public protests, and accusations of undermining the 2013 Constitution that Zimbabweans overwhelmingly endorsed. Meanwhile, damning allegations of grand-scale corruption have dominated headlines. Billions of dollars in public funds are said to have vanished into the pockets of Zvigananda. In September 2025, Vice President Chiwenga reportedly tabled a 17-page dossier before the ZANU-PF Politburo, accusing certain figures of looting over US$3.2 billion and corrupting party structures. His message was clear: the time for silence is over, arrest the criminals now. Yet amid this chaos, Chiwenga has refused to play the usual game of political survival. Instead of joining the chorus for term extensions or turning a blind eye to graft, he has consistently demanded decisive action against corruption. As a principled cadre, he has publicly warned corrupt officials and phantom contractors that their day of reckoning is coming. His anti-corruption stance isn’t mere rhetoric; it’s backed by calls for immediate arrests and investigations, positioning him as a rare voice willing to confront the untouchables. Even more telling is Chiwenga’s push for a national referendum on Bill No. 3. While some cabinet ministers have dismissed the need for public input, a group of retired army generals, widely seen as aligned with the principles of the liberation struggle, has written to Parliament demanding that Zimbabweans be allowed to have their final say through a referendum . The move echoes Mukanya’s long-standing belief that development must trump endless political manoeuvring. By insisting on letting the people decide the future of the Constitution, he’s signalling that true leadership listens to citizens rather than imposing changes from above. This people-centred approach sets Vice President Chiwenga apart in a landscape too often defined by elite capture and self-preservation. While others chase longer terms or fatter bank accounts, he’s busy fighting for clean governance and democratic safeguards. In a nation weary of broken promises and empty slogans, his actions speak louder than any campaign speech: the people’s will must prevail. As Zimbabweans continue to debate the fate of Bill No. 3 and the scourge of corruption, one thing’s clear, General Chiwenga isn’t just another politician. He’s a leader who remembers that power is a trust given by the people, not a personal inheritance to be extended or exploited. In these testing times, his brand of politics offers a refreshing reminder that public office should serve the public, not the other way around. @nickmangwana @TembaMliswa @LynneStactia @ZANUPF_Official
