Let us call her Lizz, I invited her for a date lunch at a fancy restaurant. That day the buffet was take as much as you want for the price of one. She knew the place inside out. I was now being lectured about the place. She spoke in a high pitched tone and never stopped talking throughout the date. I tried to be the gentleman that I am, but umm my date was as if she was possessed and never bothered about other diners around. She downed her overfilled plate and washed down with available drinks. After our date lunch, I drove her back to her home, dumped her and blocked all communication channels with her. Was I wrong in doing so?

🔹In the landscape of Southern African industry, Simon Rudland stands out as a transformative figure whose commitment to Zimbabwe’s economic resurgence is matched by a profound dedication to community empowerment. His business philosophy consistently prioritises long-term national growth over short-term gain, positioning him as a cornerstone of the country’s modern development. 🔸Rudland’s most significant philanthropic contribution is arguably his role as one of the nation's premier job creators. By establishing massive industrial hubs,most notably the state-of-the-art Cut Rag Processors tobacco plant in Harare,he has provided sustainable livelihoods for thousands of Zimbabweans. 🔹His ventures do more than offer jobs,they invest in human capital. Employees gain technical expertise in modern manufacturing and logistics, raising the overall bar for the domestic workforce. His logistics and agricultural networks support tens of thousands of small-scale farmers and independent contractors, creating a "multiplier effect" that stabilizes entire local economies. 🔸Rudland’s investments are perfectly aligned with the country's Vision 2030 goals. While many investors hesitate, Rudland has consistently injected multi-million dollar capital into the economy to modernise infrastructure. By moving Zimbabwe from a raw material exporter to a finished-product manufacturer, his tobacco processing facilities ensure that more value,and profit,remains within the country, and through his leadership in the transport sector (via Pioneer and Swift), he has maintained the "arteries" of the Zimbabwean economy, ensuring that goods move efficiently across borders even during challenging economic cycles. 🔹Beyond traditional charity, Rudland’s philanthropy is characterised by a commitment to national resilience. In times of economic hardship, Rudland has been a reliable partner to the state, providing the necessary liquidity and industrial support to keep essential services and sectors functioning. He has historically supported local institutions, including the donation of technical equipment to the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation, ensuring the community remains informed and connected. 🔸Simon Rudland represents the best of Zimbabwean entrepreneurship: a leader who sees potential where others see risk. His legacy is written in the factories he builds, the thousands of families supported by his payrolls, and his unwavering belief that Zimbabwe’s brightest days are built through local investment and industrial pride. 🔹It’s therefore malicious to suggest he’s linked to a specific political party faction or figure. Rudland is associated with the Zimbabwe brand and has touched lives across the political spectrum. Musamupe divi !!

Do Zimbabweans require permission from the police to address the public?
Shumbakadzi👑@shumbakadzi_zim

These two "lawyers" have have found a loophole in the government system and have been able to milk that to their advantage since day 1. It is deeply troubling to witness the persistent and calculated disregard for the law displayed by Tendai Biti and Job Sikhala. Let me tell you a short story about these two. Whenever they see that they are losing, they look for ways to take advantage of the system. They know very well that the police in Zimbabwe DOES NOT tolerate public disorder - and they also know the consequences are not too severe - just a slap in the back (ka $500 chete kasina basa). So what do they do? They deliberately avoid getting police clearance. They go ahead and do their public engagement meetings and rallies without permission, fully expecting to be arrested. Their actions are not accidental - it is a calculated strategy. By engaging in unauthorized activities, they knowingly provoke arrest, understanding that the resulting spectacle will attract international attention and push a story about human rights abuses. In the end, they derail whatever plan or activity the government may be conducting. In this case, the Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3. In doing so, they attempt to weaponize global opinion, framing themselves as victims while shifting scrutiny onto state institutions. They have repeated this strategy for quite some time now but what they do not know is this time around hazvisi kushanda - 2030 takaipihwa naMwari, vanenge vachiripo vaMnangagwa, the #CAB3 is passing no matter what!

The fuel prices in Zimbabwe are not caused by the USA, Israel - Iran war. They are caused by greedy people among us. Billy Rautenbach needs to explain how Ethanol, which is a waste product from sugar production, gets to $1.10 per Litre. Ethanol is not made from crude oil. It is produced locally, and blending fuel is meant to reduce carbon dioxide concentration and to increase quantity, reducing the price of fuel, but in Zimbabwe, Ethanol is now costing more than petrolatum that is imported. Billy Rautenbach is driving inflation and causing the poor people to suffer. Transport prices went up and so will be goods and services. This must be stopped ASAP. #FuelPricesMustFall

I have seen the spirit of giving alive in the rural setting. People , who many on here, would call “Poor” , noticed this was our first year on the ground, so everyday we get gifts of Nyimo, Nzungu, Avocados, Mangos, Chibage… it’s very very humbling. People without a “dollar” to their name have given us more “VALUE” than any of the Gazillionaires in my phone book.

I have read various comments regarding the @ZimFirstLady visit to Chikurubi Prison, where she reportedly interviewed the alleged murderer, Zvitsva. According to reports, the suspect confessed during the interview, which was recorded on video. While opinions on the visit differ, it is important to recognize the potential value of such engagements. Incidents involving gruesome crimes require a deeper understanding of the circumstances and motivations behind them. Interviews and interactions of this nature can contribute to broader efforts aimed at preventing similar incidents in the future. Studying the background and personal circumstances of offenders is a critical component of criminal justice and crime prevention. By examining the factors that may have influenced an individual’s actions, policymakers and relevant stakeholders can better understand underlying social, psychological, or economic issues that may contribute to criminal behavior. In the case of Zvitsva, it has been suggested that hunger and severe hardship may have played a role in the circumstances surrounding the crime. While such factors do not justify criminal acts, understanding them can help authorities and communities assess whether systemic challenges such as poverty or food insecurity require attention. Ultimately, analyzing criminal behavior and the conditions that contribute to it is an important step toward developing effective strategies that prevent crime and reduce the likelihood of similar tragedies in the future. In as much as it is something that is done by experts, it is important for us to recognize and realize the value of such engagements with suspects and convicted criminals. 🇿🇼🇿🇼

On which side are U really on, Prof?
Prof Jonathan Moyo@ProfJNMoyo

@Teechihuri There is one thing that EDiots should understand: I will never apologize to gukurahundi mass murderers. Never. Mnangagwa is a gukurahundi mass murderer. I don't owe him any apology. Better kufa chaiko. Ngiyafunga sibili ngabo bonke abakithi abaphansi!

The Harare Times@harare_1·
FROM OUR INBOX💔: Good day Harare Times I would like to name and shame Foodies Restaurant. I once visited their restaurant and I bought their famous Supreme Pizza and I had to buy 1 large Pizza and 1 Medium pizza. I clearly stated that I don't eat bacon and the cashier indeed promised m that there are not going to add bacon with my order. I was told that my order will b ready in the next coming 12 to 15mins which wasn't an issue but my order took more than 45 mins . As if waiting for my order wasn't enough only to b given Medium pizza w bacon and I asked for the cashier Marcia that my order was wrongly done and she talked to the guys behind for them to redo my order and they ignored as there were now busy counting their stocks as i could see them weighing some ingredients and concentrating on cleaning. I them asked for a refund and the managers denied to give me a refund 😐 😑 and I'm so hurt with my $11 which just went down the drain . I had to leave as no one seemed to help me with preparing a new order for me as well as giving me a refund . I then left with only 1 Pizza and I could not take the one with bacon as my entire family doesn't eat pork. I then reached out to Tinashe Jr Mutarisi who wasn't helpful , h never showed any remorseful with the experience I got from his restaurant the only thing he did was thank you for taking time to raise this issue. He never investigated the issue, he wasn't apologetic, never offered to give me back my money 😒 😤 😑. I'm still an angry customer

𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗠𝗣 𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗧𝗘 𝗙𝗔𝗥𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗜𝗡 𝗭𝗜𝗠𝗕𝗔𝗕𝗪𝗘? We are told by our contacts in the U.S. that Trump and his administration had removed Zimbabwe from their list of countries that threaten U.S. interests because they hope to access strategic minerals from this country, which sits at the center of what Kissinger coined in NSSM 39 as the Persian Gulf of strategic mineral resources. However, according to our contacts, after Zimbabwe publicized its rejection of the “America First Health Deal” across African media—and in the same week caused global lithium prices to rise, prompting Ramaphosa in South Africa to say Africa can no longer continue to sell rocks—the Trump administration has begun paying attention to Zimbabwe and discussing it in policy meetings. As a consequence, they are now mulling placing Zimbabwe and its current administration back on the list of countries that pose a threat to their strategic interests if it continues to influence resource nationalism in Africa. Worse still, the U.S. Embassy in Harare has also been sending reports back to Washington on what it describes as a shrinking democratic space, alleging that the government is beating up and destroying the property of those opposing the constitutional amendment (the beating of Madhuku, the petrol bombing of Sikhala’s home, and the burning of SAPES offices). Trump continues to send advisors and liaisons through back channels to reopen mineral negotiations, and the same has been communicated to the Politburo by a number of its members. However, if these efforts continue to be rejected and if the U.S. loses in Iran, the constitutional amendment, the abuse of opposition members, and the non-payment of white farmers could be weaponized against an administration that is increasingly being seen as aloof and surrounded by people living in ivory towers of self-interest.

Historical Facts@ZimbabweHistor2

Inter Africa Bus Service (officially Inter-Africa Bus Services Ltd, trading as Mukumba Brothers t/a Inter Africa) is one of Zimbabwe’s prominent long-distance and local passenger transporters. It originated as Mukumba Brothers Transport Ltd in the late 1990s to early 2000s. Founder Leonard Mukumba (born 27 October 1971 in Chikwena Village, Makoni South, Manicaland) began small-scale operations with popular all-terrain buses of the era (such as DAF models) and Toyota DCM minibuses. Public records and passenger recollections confirm operations as early as 1998, with documented trips (e.g., Harare to Gutu/Chiredzi) by 2008. A key part of the origin story involves a 1989 prophecy by Bishop Paul Mwazha of the African Apostolic Church, who foretold that the young Mukumba (then accompanying the bishop) would become a transport mogul. The company took a major step forward around 2011 when it acquired its first two Yutong buses and launched the Chiredzi route. In early 2013 it underwent restructuring and rebranded/operated under the Inter-Africa name. Ownership The business is privately owned by Leonard Mukumba (often referred to in recent media as Dr. Leonard Mukumba), who serves as director of Mukumba Brothers. It started as a family venture (Mukumba Brothers) involving his brother Charles Robert Mukumba, but has been described as solely owned by Leonard Mukumba. He is also a member of the Zimbabwe Passenger Transport Organisation and owns the related Blue Horizon trucking company. Growth Inter Africa has grown from a handful of old minibuses and second-hand coaches into one of Zimbabwe’s largest and most visible bus operators (frequently ranked among the top alongside CAG and others, with some public claims of being the biggest in Southern Africa). Key growth indicators include: Fleet: Started with a few older vehicles; now operates a diversified modern fleet of more than 400 buses (official company figures; public estimates and spotter discussions sometimes cite 500–650+). The fleet includes Yutong, Zhongtong, Higer and other brands, with ongoing additions of new coaches. Routes and reach: Expanded from a few local routes to more than 30 (some sources mention 90+ routes covering over 85 % of Zimbabwe), serving cities, towns, rural areas, and cross-border destinations to South Africa (e.g., the Harare–Bulawayo–Musina route opened in 2019) and Mozambique. Employment and services: Employs over 500 people. In addition to passenger transport, it offers goods carriage, vehicle servicing/maintenance for its brands, and coach building/painting. Safety features such as real-time GPS tracking and seat USB charging ports have been introduced. Milestones: 2011 – first Yutong buses and Chiredzi route; 2013 – restructuring; 2019 – 16 new Higer buses added, Marange route launched, online booking system introduced, and Bulawayo–Musina cross-border service started. The company has also survived Zimbabwe’s challenging economic environment and deregulated transport sector to become a leading player. Today Inter Africa continues to expand its fleet and routes while the owner has begun diversifying into other sectors (e.g., plans for a large boarding school). The company’s official website (interafrica.co.zw) and booking platform reflect a modern, safety-focused operation that has evolved from “old Mukumba buses, big dreams” into a national transport institution.
