🚨WORD ON THE STREET: The new leader of the anti black Africans in South Africa has been caught in a storm, as tweets from her past have shown, she doesn't just hate black African immigrants but the Venda tribe
It's a bit of a confusing situation for black South Africans who were rallying behind her as she waged war against Nigerians, Zimbabweans, Somalians, Kenyans and Ghanaians in South Africa
In her past tweets, she shows massive disdain for the Vendas who despite being South Africans, must be sent to nearby Zimbabwe, since their language and skin tone isn't close to the dominant Zulu tribe
The majority of black South Africans had been impress with her work of making African immigrants pack their bags, they had done a "go fund" to buy her 2 cows so she can eat and get more energy. With the tweets out, she has said no to the cows and apologized to the Vendas
🚨 UPDATED: She later took the apology, she doesn't care if the Vendas are angry with her tweets

Private schools in Rwanda are closing down because public schools have become so good; institutions are asking the government to sponsor students in private schools at public rates.
In Rwanda, most children in public schools are given free laptops to help them study, and they don't pay school fees.
Below is an example of a public school in Rwanda.

Government has lifted the 90-day moratorium that barred local authorities from processing land-use change applications, aiming to ensure coordinated town planning. Harare and 91 other local authorities faced pressure from unplanned urban developments, prompting the temporary ban last year. After several engagements, the moratorium has now been lifted, paving the way for a more structured approach to town planning.

A 134 year old company. R12 billion destroyed. R10.4 billion in creditor claims. $72,000 left in the account.
On 12 February 2026, Tongaat Hulett's rescuers walked into the KwaZulu-Natal High Court and filed for liquidation.
But the real story is not the death. It's who inherits the corpse. 🧵🧵

There’s a scene in Breaking Bad where Walter White’s wife realizes he’s made $7.5 million and says:
“There’s no way we can wash this money through a car wash. No car wash in the world makes that kind of money in a year.”
That line hit me. Because it exposes a truth most people ignore: How much you earn is capped by the kind of business you run.
You can work harder, stay longer, even get smarter - but you’ll never make more than what your business model is designed to carry.

Notable contrast in the naming origins of suburbs in Zimbabwe's two largest cities
In Harare (formerly Salisbury, the capital in the Mashonaland region), many suburbs—especially in the northern and more affluent areas—carry names derived from British places, towns, or people. Examples include Belgravia (after London), Kensington, Avondale (after an Irish location linked to British/Irish figures), Marlborough, Borrowdale, Highlands (with Scottish ties), Mount Pleasant, and others. These reflect colonial-era naming by British settlers, the Pioneer Column, and administrators under Rhodesian rule, often evoking familiarity with the UK or honoring individuals/farms from that period.
In Bulawayo (in the Matabeleland region, historically the center of the Ndebele kingdom), many suburbs instead draw their names from early/historical Ndebele leaders, chiefs, indunas, or royal figures. Examples include Matshobana (after Mzilikazi's father), Mzilikazi, Lobengula (the last Ndebele king), Khumalo (the royal clan), Mahatshula (an induna), Malindela, Luveve, Gwabalanda, and others. This reflects a stronger emphasis on pre-colonial Ndebele heritage and legacy in suburb naming.
Overall, the claim points to differing historical and cultural influences: colonial British imprint in Harare's (particularly northern) suburb names versus indigenous Ndebele historical figures in Bulawayo's. Many of Harare's such names persisted post-independence despite renamings elsewhere, while Bulawayo's align more closely with local African history.

Across the globe, organic products from Zimbabwe are earning a powerful reputation for purity, quality, and exceptional taste. At an international bee conference held in 2025, International beekeepers sampled more than 50 different honeys from around the world, and one stood out above the rest.
Zimbabwean honey quickly became the favorite at the tasting bar.
Seasoned beekeepers praised it as the best honey they had tried all day, highlighting its rich flavor and natural profile. One variety, the low-veld Litchi honey from Zimbabwe, was singled out as a clear favorite. The reaction was unanimous: this was honey of outstanding quality.
Moments like these show why organic products from Zimbabwe are increasingly in demand on shelves across the world. Harvested from unspoiled environments and produced using natural, sustainable methods, Zimbabwean honey reflects the richness of the land it comes from. As global consumers continue to seek authentic, organic products they can trust, Zimbabwe’s offerings are not just competing , they are leading.
