AS CHINA AND NEPAL TEAM UP to rescue victims trapped in a tunnel, extraordinary video is emerging of the moment when an ocean of mud and rocks moving at 100 kilometers an hour slammed into buildings with the strength of major bombs.
While several thousand people are dead or missing, many astonishing stories were revealed in which children and adults escaped tragedy by seconds.

@SandileMakeba You said so about jamwanda, then nick then tagwirei and these are still standing. Now you have started the speculation again on new person... its hard labour trying to oppose everything
@lastjnr42@im_nyaku@CrimeWatchZW@PoliceZimbabwe There is a difference between stop sign and give way sign. Stop sign you stop and proceed after abt 30 sec (thats what instructor told me). Give way sign no need to stop if road is clear you proceed with caution if there is no any other car. You making them appear the same
Esto me desconcierta. Si realmente es lo que dice Mario Nawfal: "Ese es el primer minuto de ello. Todo lo que le sucedió a los pueblos río abajo ocurrió después de esto."
¿No se pudo avisar a la gente que vivía valle abajo para que se pusiera a salvo?
Estamos en el siglo XXI, la era en la que todo el mundo tiene un teléfono móvil.
¿Qué opinas?
@mkomba54@matigary Do you expect zimbabweans starting businesses outside zim in SA, Botswana to build roads and hospitals?? These are just individuals investing where they see opportunity and have no obligation to do as you suggest with their personal funds
@MatikaMneyi@matigary a hotel isn’t just walls. it brings jobs, tourism, taxes, and stimulate local businesses. Development takes many forms, and investment in hospitality is part of building an economy, not separate from it.”
@uncletakie@matigary foreign investment is a normal part of global development. countries everywhere host outside builders, financiers, and partners. What matters is whether those projects bring infrastructure, jobs, and growth.
🚨🇳🇵🇨🇳 More footage of that apocalyptic mudslide that hit the Nepal-Tibet border earlier today...
The Bhote Koshi River surged without warning, sweeping away roads, bridges, and everything and everyone in its path.
Hundreds are missing, and based on what we're seeing, it's highly likely many, if not most, are dead.
F***ing terrifying... 💔

🇫🇷🇿🇼 French soldiers are facing SEVERE disciplinary action after posing with the Rhodesian flag...
Involved were two separate groups: 6 from the 2nd Foreign Infantry Regiment at their Nîmes base, and 4 training in the UAE in front of a Leclerc tank.
All in uniform.
The Defense Ministry confirmed their identities, stressed the incidents were 'unconnected,' and declared zero tolerance for "racist" displays.
Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) existed as an unrecognized white-minority-led state from 1965-1979.
Rhodesia often functions as a romanticized "lost cause," a symbol of a defiant, fallen white-ruled state.

Watching Chinese humanoid robots sprint and box against each other feels like a glimpse into a future that has arrived much sooner than many expected.
The future isn’t coming. It’s already here.
Where are we as Africa? Infact, where is the rest of the world?
DON’T CONFUSE BREEDING WITH BEEF PRODUCTION.
I have been thinking about something I see quite often with new cattle farmers.
Someone wants to start a beef business, then the first thing they do is look for an expensive Brahman or Boran bull, sometimes spending thousands of dollars on genetics.
There is nothing wrong with that if your business is breeding.
But if your business is producing beef for the market, I think you need to ask a different question:
Where is my profit going to come from?
Imagine spending US$5,000 on a bull and US$1,200 on a heifer, then waiting through breeding, gestation, raising and finishing the calf, only to sell the resulting steer for around US$600 at the meat market. That is where the economics need to be questioned. You may have invested in premium genetics, but if you are ultimately selling the offspring as ordinary beef, the market may not pay you for that premium.
Why not look at buying good commercial animals, feeding them efficiently, finishing them properly and getting them to market sooner?
The butcher buys beef, not your pedigree certificate!
Of course genetics matter. They matter enormously when you are building a breeding business and selling bulls or heifers to farmers who want to improve their herds.
But if your customer simply wants quality commercial beef, your business model should be built around cost reduction, weight gain, finishing and market access.
This is where I think some farmers get confused.
The most expensive animal is not necessarily the most profitable animal.
Know what business you are in.
If you are breeding, breed.
If you are producing beef, produce beef profitably!
At the end of the day, farming is not a beauty contest.
The animal that leaves you the best margin wins.
