@AladyPL @magicdan60 It was a bad omen for him today. He came dressed in the red jacket. Soon after his "incriminating" testimony he was arrested for faking assasination in a red car. 🤣🤣🤣 ziyakhala.

@KraftsQueen Well done Sue. You have done well. As they say, "make your customer your Brand Ambassador"

Last week, while in SA, it was the morning before my showcase and I was nervous and anxious. My phone started blowing up with messages. The first one was from a close friend of mine from Mutare and she was so excited she didn’t even make sense 🤣. “Sue urikutaurwa kumusangano wandiri”. And I’m like musangano 😱, Wei?
Just then a lot of other women reached out saying pretty much the same thing. Apparently, Mrs Mtasa had been invited to speak at her church’s annual women’s conference (kuRufaro) and was sharing my story. I immediately went to find the live stream on YouTube and there she was, beaming, proudly sharing. I was an emotional wreck.
It was one message after another, everyone so proud that my story was being shared to inspire others. I’m so grateful for women like Mrs Mtasa. Instead of sharing her own story, which I find really inspiring, she decided to share mine instead. How selfless and generous can one person be. She’s truly her sister’s keeper. @chipo_mtasa thank you so much

What I assumed would be a quick delivery ended up being such a fulfilling afternoon, filled with deep conversations, imparting of wisdom and support for the brand. Nothing makes me happier than a woman that genuinely wants to see another woman win and celebrates your wins. Thank you @chipo_mtasa for the love and support.

I missed my flight in Nairobi once because of traffic on Mombasa Road.
Like fully missed it. I got to the airport sweaty, exhausted, dragging my suitcase like it personally betrayed me.
I already knew there was no chance, but I still ran to the counter hoping for mercy.
The woman checked her screen, looked at me, then said, “You were the last passenger.”
I laughed a little because what else do you do at that point?
Then she lowered her voice and said, “The plane is still on the ground.”
Next thing I know this airport employee is SPEED WALKING me through the terminal like we’re in an action movie.
Security waved me through, another worker grabbed my carry-on to help me run, and I’m apologizing to literally everyone while fighting for my life.
I got to the gate completely out of breath.
The guy scanning boarding passes looked at me and said, “Eh, Nairobi traffic. We understand.”
People on the plane actually clapped when I walked in looking half dead.
I have never respected airport workers more in my life. Big up to them.

Where are law enforcement, regulatory authorities and community leadership when the lives of children are endangered by desperate parents ignorant of the hazards of some hustles?

@Shumbakadzi11 You nailed it Shumbakadzi. A case in point is SA, violent crime is a manifestation of broken families and absence of fathers in particular.
English

The father wound is not just about absence, it’s about the silence, the unanswered questions, the love you had to learn to give yourself.
You grow up learning to be strong, to not need, to not ask… but healing asks you to soften. It asks you to face what you’ve buried and to remind yourself that you were always worthy of the love you didn’t receive.
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means choosing to no longer let that pain define you.

2018 on my way to Joburg from Mutare, there were these two ladies ana madzimai vakakwirira kuMasvingo who kept giving updates. Little did we know kuti they were part of a syndicate of armed robbers. They requested to drop off after a toll gate in SA and armed robbers got onto the bus. We were robbed of our money and gadgets, stripped naked and beaten with pistols. Ever since then I swore I’d never go to SA by road. Kana ndisina mari ndogara hangu pamba

@CrimeWatchZW With the way ZIMRA is searching vehicles at BB? Did they miss the explosives - unless they were special cargo

UPDATE | More details have emerged on the tragic incident in which 18 people died after a South Africa-registered Toyota Quantum taxi exploded along the Bulawayo–Beitbridge Road.
The explosion was extremely powerful. Reports say one victim’s body was found nearly 100 metres away from the wreckage, in a wooded area, suggesting it may have been thrown by the blast. The vehicle was completely destroyed and reduced to a mangled shell.
The incident happened on Thursday afternoon, between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM, near the Much Binding area between Chipangali and the Gwanda tollgate, about 20km from Bulawayo.
According to the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), the kombi suddenly caught fire and exploded, killing everyone on board. It is suspected that the vehicle may have been carrying explosives, although investigations are still ongoing.
Authorities, including the police and the army, are now working to find the exact cause of the explosion. A temporary one-kilometre detour has been opened to allow traffic to pass while the scene is being examined. More details are expected to be released soon.

##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 😆
