Zimbabwe is a very difficult place to live if you are just an ordinary citizen trying to get on with your life.
Yesterday, a young man got in touch with me seeking financial assistance to travel to Zimbabwe because he had lost his father. I helped him, and his bus left Johannesburg at 5 p.m. It travelled all the way to Zimbabwe and got to the border in the morning, where it was cleared. It then continued its journey into Zimbabwe.
When the bus got to Bubi, ZIMRA officials, who are Zimbabwe’s customs officials, sent it all the way back to the border for another search.
As I write this, that bus is back at the border. This young man left Johannesburg yesterday at 5 p.m., and it is now past 6 p.m. the following day. He had already done more than half of his journey from Johannesburg, only to be forced back.
I honestly do not understand why our government makes life so painful and difficult for ordinary people. It is cruel, painful, and heartbreaking.
This is one of the reasons many young Zimbabweans do not want to return home when they complete their studies. If you are not part of the political elite circle, life can be incredibly difficult. Even those who are trying to live by the book and simply live normal lives are subjected to unnecessary hardship.
It is heartbreaking. It is sad. The once respected Zimbabwe has become a mafia state.
VP Chiwenga’s wife, Minnie Baloyi, shared a kind gesture that turned into a memorable birthday celebration.
Minnie said a young woman known as Rue once commented on her earlier post about Nando’s, mentioning that she had never tasted it before. Minnie responded by asking where Rue was so she could buy her a meal, but at the time Rue was outside Zimbabwe.
A few days later, Rue informed her that she had returned home. True to her word, Minnie arranged to give her $100 USD so she could enjoy Nando’s for the first time. Interestingly, the timing coincided with Rue’s birthday, making the moment even more special.
Minnie wrote in a light-hearted message:
“Happy birthday Rue, be blessed always. I pray for more Nando’s for you in future 😂❤️❤️❤️🙏”
Rue later shared her excitement after receiving the gift, saying she used the money to buy Nando’s exactly as promised. She described it as the best birthday gift she had ever received and even went on to do a small photoshoot to capture the moment, joking that her phone was not taking good pictures.
In her post, Rue thanked “mhamha Minnie” warmly and added: “I got $100 from mhamha Minnie Baloyi as a birthday gift and I bought Nando’s as she promised. Best birthday gift ever… One bite and my taste buds threw a party 🔥”

This is Ahmad Nurudeen Mohammed. He is just 4 years old and is currently suffering from a serious medical condition that requires surgery.
Due to the severe pain caused by his condition, Ahmad has not been able to step into a classroom or live like a normal child. The constant discomfort makes it difficult for him to focus, play, or enjoy the simple moments every child deserves.
May Allah grant him quick healing and ease his suffering.
Let’s clap hands for Cde Chatunga Mugabe for his philanthropic work. He is willing to give Gogo a brand new 5-roomed house for free and also provide groceries and food support.
HAMUTENDI Sei kana Mwana Akaita Zvakanaka 🙏🙏
