Any effort meant to emancipate my fellow brothers and sisters with albinism is welcome. I look foward to see this becoming a success nekuti hama dzinobatsirika if 100 kids are sent to school per province it means progress in ending education inequality. Welldone @bellagushaz .

I don't think South Africa speaks enough about the Maluleke Sisters. Young women need role models like this. We need to see more stories like these of black women being trailblazers in their respective careers.📌

@BigMamo_ My view is that there are global organisations that are thriving because of the sheer ignorance of their customers...as an afterthought a classist should at least always weigh the pros and cons of certain habits and "brag" about truly wholesome stuff.

Living in Zim means being in survival mode all the time, but you never truly realise how deep you are in survival mode until you leave that country and realise that there's nothing normal in Zimbabwe. Not a single thing.

Deportation is far more expensive than simple administrative processing. The costs are not just a bus ticket home, they include funding facilities like the Lindela Repatriation Centre requires massive daily spending on food, healthcare, and security. In the 2024/25 financial year alone, DHA reported spending over R73 million on deportation-related costs. For every group of deportees, the state pays for chartered transport, specialized security details, and administrative staff to process exit biometrics. Home Affairs DA Minister recently noted a R12.5 billion investment into upgrading six major land border posts. While this improves security, it highlights the massive capital required to maintain a fortress approach versus an administrative one.  When a country chooses mass deportation over documentation, it creates a Regularization Surplus in reverse, meaning it actively loses money that was already in the system. Undocumented workers already contribute to the economy through VAT on everything they buy. Documenting them shifts them into the formal sector, where payroll taxes (PAYE) and UIF contributions can be collected. Deportation permanently deletes that potential revenue. Many sectors (especially agriculture, construction, and hospitality) rely on migrant labor. Mass removals can cause sudden labor shortages, driving up costs for local consumers and slowing down GDP growth.  By keeping people undocumented, the state inadvertently supports monopsony power, where employers exploit workers' legal vulnerability to pay below-market wages. This depresses the entire wage floor for everyone, including locals. Documentation levels the playing field. If the state spends R5,000 to deport one person who might return via an informal crossing 2 days later, it is a leaking bucket expense. If the state spends R500 to issue a digital temporary ID and work permit, it gains a registered taxpayer and a biometric record for life. Documenting the undocumented isn't just a humanitarian gesture, it's a fiscally conservative strategy to stop wasting taxpayer funds on a revolving-door deportation system. sabcnews.com/sabcnews/depar…

Africa’s greatest leader was murdered just 10 days before his 36th birthday. The CIA sent the poison. Belgium sent the firing squad. Then they dissolved his body in acid so there would be no grave, no ashes, no place for his people to mourn. 🇨🇩💔 His name was Patrice Lumumba. And his only crime was believing that the Congo belonged to the Congolese. On Independence Day, Lumumba stood before his people and declared: “We are going to make of the Congo the centre of the sun’s radiance for all of Africa.” Six months later, he was dead. Here is how they silenced him: 🔸 In August 1960, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorised the CIA to eliminate Lumumba. CIA chemist Sidney Gottlieb personally carried poison to the Congo to place in his food or on his toothbrush. 🔸 His closest ally, Colonel Mobutu Sese Seko, became the CIA’s principal agent — paid to betray the very man who trusted him. 🔸 On January 17, 1961, Lumumba was tortured, beaten, humiliated, and handed over to a Belgian-backed firing squad. 🔸 Belgian officers cut his body into pieces and dissolved his remains in sulphuric acid. Patrice Lumumba has no grave. No tomb. No resting place. 🔸 Before they killed him, they forced him to swallow the paper containing his Independence Day speech — as if they could erase his words by forcing him to eat them. 🔸 The CIA then installed Mobutu, who ruled the Congo for 32 years while foreign powers looted its diamonds, gold, copper, and cobalt as millions suffered in poverty. 🔸 Years later, CIA Director Allen Dulles admitted: “I think we overrated the Soviet danger in the Congo.” They destroyed a man. They destroyed a nation. And they did it over a lie. Today, the Congo holds some of the world’s largest reserves of cobalt — the mineral that powers smartphones, laptops, and electric cars across the globe. Yet its people remain among the poorest on Earth. That is not an accident. That is exploitation disguised as geopolitics. 🌍 Patrice Lumumba dreamed of an Africa that controlled its own wealth, wrote its own destiny, and bowed to no empire. They killed the man, but they could not kill the dream. If Lumumba had lived… what would Africa look like today? #PatriceLumumba #Congo #AfricanHistory #NeverForget #AfricanLiberation

I don't think that applying technology to the issue will magic away all the corruption currently happily enabled by the police on the streets in full view of the public every minute of the day. The police harass the motorists who watch the police watch the commuters. Having a different department harass people digitally as well is not the answer. Now fines will be discussed privately over email as well as in public in the traffic. The police are there, in sufficient numbers to fight and win a war. If the intent to police traffic into an orderly fashion was there, we would have orderly traffic by lunch time tomorrow. But the goal of the police is to raise funds, and so they operate in a way that makes traffic worse and seems baffling to road users, who desire convenience and smooth traffic flow. Any system added to this with the same goal in mind will be counterproductive to helping motorists and traffic flow. I think.

Greetings you beloved, ndokumbirawo repost🙏 🙏I now understand that God had a purpose for my pain, mudikani. There was a time in my life when I almost gave up on myself. Growing up with albinism was not just difficult it was painful, lonely, and traumatising. I lived with severe sunburns and untreated skin lesions because sunscreen, protective clothing, and proper medical care were simply out of reach. To many people, lacking sunscreen or a sunhat may sound like a small thing, but for a person with albinism, it can mean constant pain, permanent skin damage, and even death. As a young girl, I endured isolation and stigma every single day. At school, very few children wanted to play with me. Most of the time it was only my close family who made me feel accepted and safe. The physical pain was unbearable at times. When you go to sleep nursing raw, unmedicated sunburn wounds, there are moments when you genuinely begin to question the value of your own life. The nights were always the hardest. Growing up in the village, you would know one or 2 fellow brothers and sisters with albinism in the village. You would suddenly hear whispers pachobhorani or gatherings “uya akafanana nekamwana ako arwara …” “The wounds are getting worse…” “They now stay alone in a separate room…” “His husband or family has abandoned him/her because they cannot manage because of the smell of the wounds…” then eventually, “They have passed away.” Those moments cut deep into your soul. Today, after doing this work since 2019, I now fully understand why God spared me. My pain became my purpose. Every awareness campaign, every sunscreen donation, every screening programme, every patient we assist it is personal to me because I know exactly what it feels like to suffer in silence and feel forgotten. Skin cancer cannot continue winning against persons with albinism. I pray that in my lifetime, we will see a future where skin cancer no longer causes preventable deaths, pain, disfigurement, trauma, and hopelessness within our community. In our own small way, we are fighting back through awareness, lifesaving screenings, access to sunscreen, medical referrals, and surgery support for critical patients. I am deeply grateful to the incredible medical practitioners who continue to stand with our community and offer their services pro bono, including Dr Mutangadura, Dr Mutukwa, Dr Makondo, and Dr Wayne Manana through the Global Cleft and Cranio Facial Organisation. These are people using their skills and compassion to restore and touching lives. APPEAL FOR SUPPORT On 23 May 2026, we will be returning to Masvingo Provincial Hospital with our medical team to assist critical patients with albinism who urgently require major surgeries and medical intervention. To make this possible, we are hoping to raise at least US$2,500 to help cover: 🟢Transportation for patients travelling for treatment 🟢Meals and basic support for beneficiaries 🟢Logistics and support costs for the volunteer /programing teams 🟢Analgesics and histopathology support I am humbly appealing for your support. No amount is too small. Your contribution could help save a life, prevent further suffering, and give someone another chance at dignity and hope. If you are unable to donate, please help us by sharing this message in your network maybe a donor is in your circle. Donate via the link below: #instant-signup-modal" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ko-fi.com/albinismkonnec… Together, we can protect lives, restore hope, and remind persons with albinism that they are not forgotten.

The MPs were voted for by the people but the same people who voted for them will not be able to participate in extending or not extending their stay through a referendum? They themselves [ the mps ] will vote for their continued stay in office? This country is a silly joke!

@chirembaPT They love the limelight as if they are the only ones eating kuZANU yet they are all looting. Till one of their own decides it's enough and flips the script on them. 18yr olds are adults at law in Zim and will be treated as such should some1 decide to stop this charade

@charlin_hiram @DandaroOnline There is a limit to how much you can rub people this way. Even amongst themselves....some guys will end up getting pissed off. It's not like those 2 kids are the only ones eating. It would be wise to stay away from cameras and say the wrong things
