The easiest person to take for granted is usually the hardest to replace. Why?

Because they made loyalty look normal. Because they made consistency look normal. Because they made effort look normal

So normal that you start believing you can find that anywhere. That's why many people leave good partners NOT because they found better BUT because they assume that can be easily found

The person you get "bored" of is often the person you'll end up looking for in other people

If you have that person in your life, value them.

There was a time Freeman Chari @freemanchari shared his inspiring journey of breaking into tech. I don’t know if the thread is still up, but boy… that story lit a undying fire in me.

As a Chartered Accountant, I decided to go beyond just accounting principles. I started learning tech skills I could actually leverage.

Fast forward I now implement accounting systems and solutions end-to-end, automating processes, and delivering real solutions for small and medium businesses and within my audit teams.

I am no longer just using systems anymore. I now understand both the backend and frontend deeply.

I have also been heavily involved in audit transformation projects, playing a key role in rolling out tech-led audit methodologies and training teams on data driven audit methodologies.

All of this started because Freeman openly shared his story. I am forever grateful and I still remind myself of it often.

Thank you, Freeman Chari. 🙏

#MarriageIsWork

A few days ago MaNyoni said people will say to her, wow you are married for 25 years now 😳let’s face it in South Africa relationships don’t last even among people you would expect to have lasting marriages eg Muslim Asians (Indians). Marriage needs work everyday and being there for each other. Knowing when to stop. MaNyoni hates exercising doing as simple as walking and I have been promising kuti I will report her to her mother. For health reasons she must exercise. So I was communicating with my mother in law on MaNyoni’s WhatsApp on voicemail around 4pm, I finally sent the audio to her mother expressing my frustrations. MaNyoni tried to delete the message and I held on to the phone for 30 seconds and the mother was already listening to the audio.

MaNyoni was cross with me, I said sorry but you have to change, I warned you enough times. I walk at least 5kms everyday because I have to yet she refuses to walk even 800m to the shops. By the time we went to bed the argument had ended. In marriage it’s not about the fun times only but you must also hold each other accountable. She does the same to me, you know it’s coming from a place of love.

I once worked with a guy who practically lived at work. Even on weekends, he’d be pushing hard—clocking overtime like there was no tomorrow.

He was Head of Operations, but after a serious car accident that injured his back, management quickly realized his recovery would take time. Within a week, they hired a replacement.

The new guy was even more efficient, yet he always left work on time. One day, I jokingly asked why he never stayed late like his predecessor.

He said three things:

First, “I was hired to replace someone, and people are already forgetting him. Chances are, he may never get his job back. That accident could have been a result of overworking.”

Second, “I’m around 40—I can’t work like I’m in my 20s or early 30s. Work hard, yes, but don’t sacrifice your life. Otherwise, you risk becoming someone who gave everything to a company and lost time with family.”

Third, “There’s no real loyalty in the corporate world. If a company stops serving your growth or financial goals, move on. Because the moment you stop serving it, it won’t hesitate to replace you.”

Unless there’s clear progression every 3–5 years, keep moving.

HR warned a Gen Z employee that leaving exactly at 5pm every day shows “lack of dedication.” The next day the guy stayed until 6pm. At 6:01 he walked into HR’s office and asked where to submit the overtime form. HR told him it wasn’t paid overtime. The Gen Z guy went back to leaving at 5pm

> No one sees you getting up early.
> No one sees the parties you missed.
> No one sees you working late.
> No one sees how many times you failed.
> No one sees how hard you train.
> No one sees how hard you study.

But when it works out they say it's luck.

[Chinese Embassy in Zimbabwe @ChineseZimbabwe]

In 2025, Zimbabwe exported horticultural goods worth US$11.62 million to China, with macadamia nuts as the star product. 🌰🌰

Now that export protocols for citrus🍊, avocados🥑 and blueberries🫐 have been finalized , and with China’s zero-tariff treatment for 53 African countries including Zimbabwe taking effective on 1 May 2026, Zimbabwe’s high-quality agricultural and horticultural produce is poised to reach more Chinese consumers and conquer new markets across China.

We are pleased to see Chinese buyers already visiting local farms in Zimbabwe to source premium produce. Meanwhile, ZimTrade will host the Zimbabwe-China Horticulture Buyers Engagement in Mutare in early April. 🇨🇳🤝🇿🇼
