Weekend Reflection I want to share a weekend reflection with you. Some time ago, one of Zimbabwe’s wealthiest businesspeople invited me to dinner at his home. During our conversation, he said something that has stayed with me. He said, “Hopewell, I understand that you are a journalist, and because of that you cannot afford to be classist. But I think you waste too much of your time on people who have no interest in improving themselves, changing the way they think, broadening their understanding of the world or contributing positively to Zimbabwe. Some people simply do not want to be helped.” I explained to him that journalism does not give me the luxury of choosing only the people I find interesting or enlightened. My work requires me to engage with every section of Zimbabwean society. I cannot ignore one group simply because some people within it are uninformed, poorly educated or hold misguided views. My responsibility is to tell the stories of all Zimbabweans. That conversation, however, has remained with me, and it is the reason for this reflection. There are many parents on this page, and my message to you is this: raise your children to become global citizens as well as proud Zimbabwean citizens. Raise them to be people whose opinions carry weight, whose character commands respect, and whose company is valued by serious people. Do not allow your children to drift into a life where they are seen as people who have nothing meaningful to contribute. Once a person acquires a reputation for being unwilling to learn, unwilling to grow and unwilling to improve themselves, opportunities begin to disappear. Mentors stop investing in them. Employers overlook them. Successful people keep their distance. Doors quietly close. One thing I have learnt in life is that people miss countless opportunities, and in most cases they never even realise they have missed them. Serious people rarely announce that they have decided not to engage with you. They simply give you a wide berth. They move on. They invest their time, knowledge and resources in people they believe are worth investing in. I continue engaging with everyone because that is part of my work as a journalist. It is not part of the job of businesspeople, CEOs or other busy professionals to do the same. Remember this: the way you carry yourself opens doors, but it can also quietly close them. Many doors are closed without people ever knowing they were there in the first place. Sadly, this often becomes a generational cycle. We all know families that seem to remain trapped in the same patterns of poverty, poor decision-making and limited thinking from one generation to the next. Breaking that cycle often starts with one parent. One mother. One father. Encourage your children to read widely. Teach them to be curious. Expose them to useful books, documentaries and ideas. Help them understand the world beyond their immediate surroundings. Encourage them to associate with people who challenge them to become better, rather than people who drag them into the intellectual and moral sewer. As parents, we should never underestimate the power of shaping how our children think. As I reflected on what that wealthy businessman said, I also found myself thinking about how many people he could probably have helped, mentored or opened doors for, but chose not to because he believed they were simply not worth the investment. That led me to ask myself a difficult question, and I leave it with you: Do you want to be the kind of person whom serious people dismiss as a waste of time? More importantly, do you want your children to be viewed that way? If the answer is no, then ask yourself what you need to do today to ensure that your children become people of substance, integrity, knowledge and value. Enjoy your weekend.

“The commissioners seem to approach Johnson as if she were cat Matlala” -Pieter Du Toit. WHAT AN UNFAIR STATEMENT TO MAKE ABOUT THE COMMISSIONERS WHO HAVE CONSISTENTLY CONDUCTED THEMSELVES WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALISM. All they did was enquire. Isn’t that what this commissions exists for? Tjo 👏🏿

Comment: In 1999, I joined the Financial Mail and one day put up my hand to ask: “Why don’t we have black and women columnists?” Met with the usual “We can’t find any,” I started the Little Black Book. In 2026, we still can’t find any? I quit when, appointed managing editor, I was put under the tutelage of a (white older) colleague whose knowledge of the political economy was not near as good as mine. Always the trainee, the mentee, the wannabe. Come on, people! Do we need a Big Black Book?!

Mhmmm, explains a lot!

Is there someone who is as confused as her??

“He once reminded us: ‘We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.’ He was not making a geopolitical argument. He was making a moral one. Today Gaza confronts this Assembly with the same question that apartheid once posed to the world. Does international law apply equally to everyone? If the answer depends on geography... If it depends on alliances... If it depends on military strength… If it depends of race… If it depends on religion… Then it is no longer law. It is power. And its opposite is oppression. Mandela knew war. He understood violence. But he also understood that the systematic erosion of human dignity can never become the price of political expediency”- @RediTlhabi
