This is my dad sometime in the late 70s .I’m not even sure of the exact year.I’ve been working on a piece about the man I called my father, and as I turn the pages of his old album, I find myself pausing at almost every photograph.
These two pictures stopped me the longest.I look at this man and realise I am looking at a whole future unfolding, struggles, laughter, sacrifices, and the long journey that would eventually lead to the 87 years we were blessed to share with him.
The album is no longer just photographs. It’s conversations I never got to have.Stories I now wish I asked earlier.Moments where he was simply a young man carrying dreams,I’m writing about him… but really, I’m learning him all over again. He migrated to South Africa in 1965 and retired in 2008.( In the days ahead, I’ll share the story of his “millions” that simply vanished in the storm of hyperinflation.

It was pretty cool to watch some vechidiki Zim engineers/artisans do their thing at Highland Park Precinct. Sliding it into place. 👌🏾
Engineering is always fascinating.
Salute! 🫡

All set for the installation of the pedestrian bridge in Highland Park Precinct, HRE. Great to some see pedestrian friendly initiatives in HRE.

@VascoDaGappah My small contribution would be to say the ancestors is not equal to fossils, which is anything dead and buried! Particularly the ones that are called upon as opposed to being benign they may actually be benevolent in spirit as a default setting 😃🙏

Padenga’s recently completed 1.2MW solar plant for its crocodile farm, Kariba. They plan to expand to 2.5MW and become fully self-sufficient.
Previously, they used 60,000 litres of diesel a month.

Padenga’s impressive crocodile farms: 3 croc farms on the shores of Lake Kariba. Last year, they exported over 50,000 croc skins. Made US$30m sales from crocs. Oh, and, they produced 383,287kg of croc meat. And they have people whose job it is to hunt croc eggs in the wild.
