Appealing for Help 🇿🇼
A Zimbabwean man has pleaded for help after confessing to stealing @jahprayzah’s Ford Ranger. He claims the theft led to him being bewitched — and now he’s been left with a swarm of bees clinging to his hands. 😳😳

@Savheya_Happie I heard the one along Masotsha has no certificate of compliance, hameno kana yakazoita!

I have witnessed 3 properties developed by Chiyangwa.
1. Shopping Mall at 1st & Masotsha Ndlovu
2. Along Enterprise close to Pardington square
3. Corner Crowhill Rd & Carrick Creagh Rd
All of them are white elephants, no activity, poor ambience, no tenants, poor designs etc.
Is he romped or he clueless but with a bit of cash?

Naison Marufu has responded to @Zimra_11’s decision to introduce taxes on content creators. Thoughts? : Munotanga mafunga here musati mataura or kuita zvimwe zvinhu.
Some of the things that these government institutions do, they even offend common sense 🙌
You want to tax Content creators, but cannot lobby for them ... Painful...That is the contradiction sitting at the heart of Zimbabwe’s digital economy.
Zimbabwe has no formal monetization agreement with Meta or Google. Content creators are using foreign details ... South African bank accounts, relatives abroad, VPNs .... to unlock what their own country cannot give them. And now ZIMRA wants a cut of money that technically, by platform rules, was never supposed to reach Zimbabwe in the first place .
This is ambush economics.
Content creators are already paying taxes where they are registered ... which is not in Zimbabwe ... because the Ministry of ICT has no formal relationship with Meta. They file where the platform recognizes them. They comply where the system exists. Zimbabwe is simply not on that map.
The government confirmed the gap itself. Minister of ICT Tatenda Mavetera admitted in January 2026 that discussions with Google and Meta are ongoing but acknowledged “limitations” and gave no timeline . Meanwhile, ZIMRA issued Public Notice 25 of 2026 demanding voluntary disclosure by 30 May 2026 .... penalties waived, but interest still applies.
So one arm of government is “engaging” global platforms. The other is taxing income earned through back channels because the engagement produced nothing.
But wasn't the first move supposed to be pushing the Ministry of ICT to lobby for Zimbabwe to be on Meta's monetization map? Shouldn't that have been the opening gambit? Get the country whitelisted. Secure the payout pipeline. Formalize the relationship. Then, and only then, talk about tax withholding, registration thresholds, and voluntary disclosure. Instead, ZIMRA issued deadlines while ICT holds meetings that produce nothing. The cart is not just before the horse ... the cart is demanding fuel from a horse that hasn't been born.
ZIMRA has the power to tax. Does the Ministry of ICT have the power to lobby? Can you walk into Meta's offices and say "monetize Zimbabwe"? Because if you can't, then you're taxing air. You're demanding compliance for a system you haven't built. Creators are paying the price of your diplomatic silence.
Do ZIMRA and the Ministry of ICT ever communicate? The evidence suggests no. Or if they do, they are not listening to each other.
To be clear: using the source-based tax rule, ZIMRA is legally correct. If you create content while sitting in Zimbabwe, they consider the income source Zimbabwean .... even if the payment lands in an SA account. The Double Taxation Agreement with South Africa exists, but that requires disclosure and paperwork most creators have not filed .
It is possible for ZIMRA to track payments through TaRMS, monitoring mobile money and bank transfers that bring foreign earnings back home, and auditing public disclosures of wealth.
It is impossible for ZIMRA to force Meta or Google to write checks directly to Zimbabwean accounts. That is not their mandate and power. They tax what comes in ... they do not create the pipes for it to flow.
It is also hard for the Ministry of ICT delivering a monetization deal while US sanctions remain in place. US-based companies face significant legal risks making payments that could indirectly benefit sanctioned individuals. Even if the government negotiates, compliance costs will outweigh Zimbabwe’s small ad market. Google Adsense pays based on viewer location ... a Zimbabwean audience generates roughly 30 cents per thousand views versus up to $7 for a US audience.
The market is classified as operationally dead for advertisers.
Let's talk about the WhatsApp admin fiasco. 2024. Ministry of ICT floated a tax on WhatsApp group admins. A data protection license, they called it. The policy was so absurd that Meta's Terms of Service don't even allow third parties to charge admin fees for group operation. WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption means ZIMRA cannot see a single message without breaking the protocol. The policy was unenforceable from the first sentence. Yet someone in government said it out loud. Off the cuff. Zero technical understanding. Zero legal grounding. It died in public ridicule ... but it should never have been born.
So ZIMRA is correct to tax undeclared income. The Ministry of ICT is failing to deliver access. Meta terms make the workaround a violation. Sanctions are blocking the official route. The digital advertising market is too small to attract serious platform investment. And two government arms are operating as if they serve different countries.
ZIMRA has no legal relationship with Meta at all. They are demanding tax on income generated through a platform that does not recognize Zimbabwean creators.🤦
If your citizens must break a platform’s terms of service to earn anything, who is really breaking the law? The creator trying to survive? Or the government taxing a transaction it cannot see, cannot enforce, and cannot protect?
Until Zimbabwe gets formal monetization, asking creators to pay tax on income earned through loopholes you cannot close and channels you cannot open is economic ambush.

@matigary Hahahaha but hanti whats important is the job is being done here 😆. The guy is clever, he actually created employment 😄😄😄
English

I hired a general hand to do some manual landscaping tasks on a property I own. We agreed on a price. I left.
When I came back to check on progress, I realised that he wasn’t doing the work himself. Instead, he hired two guys to do the work for him, so I paid him to hire some guys that he then paid.
Akaisa zino, as they say. I feel uncomfortable with what he did. I feel it’s not right.
Anyway, I later got the contacts of the two guys who did the actual work. Going forward I will just give them the assignments. I respect the guys who do the actual work, not some smart Alec trying to be an intermediary.

#CAB3 increases the President’s control over:
- elections
- courts
- Parliament
- prosecutors
- traditional leaders
Makes our Parliament undemocratic
Takes away our right to vote for the President & gives it to that undemocratic Parliament
Deprives us of a say in a referendum

@BorisCde I wonder if these people are still alive. It would have been good to interview them and hear what they think now!

The Zimbabwean population greeted Mugabe’s 1980 election victory with euphoria. For many it was a dawn of freedom & prosperity after the oppressive British colonial rule.
Liberation war fighters commonly known as ‘Guerrillas’ also joined the celebrations, with the belief that their sacrifice had finally delivered land & dignity to the people.
There were very high expectations for reconciliation, redistribution of wealth & justice. What went wrong?

Most of you don’t know who she is, but she’s important. Her name is Latasha Harlins. In 1991, at the ripe age of 15, Latasha went to her local Korean owned food mart and never made it out. The store owner’s wife, Soon Ja Du, mistook her for trying to steaI a bottle of orange juice and a minor struggle ensued. Du grabbed Latasha and ended up getting pushed to the ground. Du then went and got her gun and pointed it at Latasha. Latasha bends down, picks up the orange juice, and places it on the counter. As Latasha had walked away to leave the store, Du shơt Latasha in the back of the head at a 3 foot distance, kiIIing her immediately. Du tried to claim self-defense, but there were 2 eyewitnesses, and the store’s security camera showed otherwise. The jury convicted Du and advised the judge to go with the maximum sentence of 16 years. Du walked away with 400 hours of community service, 5 years probation, and a $500 fine, as the judge said, although Mrs. D acted inappropriately, her actions were justified. Judge Joyce Karlin states that Mrs. Du was the victim, Latasha is the criminal and would be standing in front of her for assault on a store clerk had she not died. The slaughter of Latasha Harlins is one of the major factors in the initiating of the LA Riots. We only hear about Rodney King, but she is the original #SayHerName. Tupac had an affinity for Latasha and mentioned her name in several songs as well as dedicated the iconic song “Keep Ya Head Up” to Latasha. So today we say Latasha Harlins, you’re a pillar baby girl, whether they realize or not. And today, someone heard ya story❤️

I was working for one of a food processing plant as a projects manager construction.
My group engineer was white. We acquired land to develop one of the biggest warehouse/factory. Then I was tasked to spearhead the process.
Our first process was to procure the full consultant team (Architect, C& S Engineer, M & E engineer and Quantity Surveyor).
I prepare a Request for a expression of interest (RFI) guided by company procurement policy.
The process went well until adjudication stage. The day before presenting the adjudication report, I was called by the group engineer to brief him. I was told to redo the process and include his 3 friends (engineers & architect).
Long story short, all from his list got the job except for the Quantity Surveyor 😭😭😭😭😭
White people are more corrupt than we think
