In Africa, divorce is for the rich, but for the poor, you’ll often hear that the wife has run away.

A Farewell to a Friend of Zimbabwe 🇿🇼🇬🇧 His Excellency Pete Vowles,@PeteVowles , the United Kingdom's Ambassador to Zimbabwe, is nearing the end of his tour of duty, and with his departure Zimbabwe bids farewell to a diplomat unlike any other. As far as I can remember, no British Ambassador to Zimbabwe has endeared himself to ordinary Zimbabweans quite the way Pete has. His warmth, humility, infectious personality and ability to connect with people from all walks of life earned him something that cannot be conferred by governments or written into diplomatic credentials, the genuine affection and respect of the people. Over the past eight years, Pete has quietly helped thaw relations between Zimbabwe and the United Kingdom at a time when historical baggage and political differences could easily have kept the two nations apart. He achieved this not through grandstanding or headlines, but through people. Through supporting Zimbabwean farmers seeking access to UK markets. Through engaging local businesses, charities and communities. Through listening more than he spoke. Through showing up where others often would not. Yet none of this surprises me. Long before he became Ambassador, Pete was a young teacher in rural Mudzi in the early 1990s. It was there that his enduring connection with Zimbabwe was born. He travelled across the countryside, immersed himself in local culture, played slug at rural business centres, drew water from wells, shared meals with villagers, slept by candlelight and embraced life as it was lived by ordinary Zimbabweans. He learnt our language ,our customs, and most importantly, he learnt our people. That connection never left him. I have always believed that, deep down, Zimbabwe is not merely another posting on Pete's diplomatic résumé. It is his second home. That became even more evident in 2023 when @TeamFuloZim launched the #AmbassadorsCookOffZW,inviting ambassadors accredited to Zimbabwe to prepare a beloved Zimbabwean dish, Highfiridzi. Pete was the first ambassador to put up his hand. That was Pete all over. Not because he wanted the spotlight, but because he genuinely embraced opportunities to engage with Zimbabweans beyond the formalities of diplomatic life. What happened next speaks volumes about his influence and the goodwill he enjoyed among his peers. Pete encouraged fellow diplomats to participate, helping build momentum behind the initiative. Soon ambassadors and senior diplomats from across the diplomatic community signed up and embraced the challenge with enthusiasm. What followed was something truly special. Diplomats left the comfort of embassy walls, visited local markets, bought ingredients, lit fires, cooked in clay pots and immersed themselves in Zimbabwean culture. They laughed, learnt, shared stories and connected with ordinary Zimbabweans in ways that traditional diplomacy rarely allows. The Cook-Off became far more than a cooking competition. It became a bridge between cultures. And Pete was there at the very beginning, helping make it happen. One of my fondest memories was welcoming Pete and Hannah into our family home in Mount Pleasant, where they met my mother, Mama Rose, my children, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews. By the end of the visit, they did not feel like distinguished guests. They felt like family. Perhaps that is what made Pete different. He understood that diplomacy is ultimately about people,not buildings,not protocols. People. When future historians look back on Pete Vowles' time in Zimbabwe, they will undoubtedly speak about trade, diplomacy and bilateral relations. Those things matter. But many Zimbabweans will remember something else. A man who was just as comfortable sitting around a fire in the rural areas as he was attending a diplomatic reception. A man who embraced our culture, respected our people and made a genuine effort to understand the country he came to represent.

In Canada you walk into any hospital, get treated and leave. Nothing arrives in the mail. Most people who grew up here never think about it. The wait time is a different conversation.

Hello from WEST LONDON 💙😁

Chelsea remains the only club to have completed football. They’ve won everything.

@CMukungunugwa @snowballOfficia Quick ask 👋🏾 What were you expecting him to ask in the anticipated songs that had already pissed you off?

Honestly Speaking , tisiri kuti chii kana kuti chii eeh…the song is nice, no doubt. But me and my brother Snowball? @snowballOfficia I think we made a huge impact to the point where Winky D actually changed his lyrics. This is not the original song that was supposed to drop. He listened to my advice. Respect ✊🏿🐐
