Handizive kuti why we have schools that pride themselves as "English Speaking Environment Only.”
Many years ago at Chishawasha Mission we had this nun who prescribed a Z$1 fine for speaking in Shona. Ini ndakagara ndazviramba. I never paid a single cent and ndaigara ndichitaura Shona. I don’t see the point why I should be punished for speaking rurimi rwaMai. In my opinion such a premise is a product of colonial prejudice. Ngatirege kufarira chingezi kusvika pachidanho chekutsoropodza mutauro wedu.
Rimwe zuva I attended an event. The guest speakers were first rate, nhanganyaya yanga iri Language and Communication. After their wonderful presentations they opened the floor for a Question & Answer session.
Ndakabva ndabvunza kuti what is the effect of language on impressions and communication? Ndikavaudza kuti inini I speak in Shona when I feel like speaking in Shona. I don’t feel the obligation whatsoever to speak in English kune vanhu vanonzwa Shona.
Mhinduro dzacho dzandakawana dzaive dzevanhu vaipokana neni vachiita sevanorwisa pfungwa yandainge ndaburitsa. Zvikachinzi nemumwe he-e dzimwe environment like this Shona haiite what what, plus if you speak Shona people will not take you serious.
Heya.
The same organisation had another event mangwana acho. The guest speaker who gave a keynote speech is the CEO of a blue chip organization. Guess what, she dazzled the audience and delivered a great presentation with profound lessons. 60% of her content was in Shona. She spoke without notes, managed to connect with the audience and impart wisdom.
After the event vanhu vakatanga kunditi, "Yeah, nezuro you were right about Shona."
I don’t know about you but inini I dont feel the obligation to speak in English because tasvika muMeikles or tasangana paAirport or you are Mr so and so. I use the language which best expreses point yandirikuda kuburitsa.
Speaking English is not a measure of intelligence or seriousness veduwe.

20 years ago, Beatrice Mtetwa and Tawanda Nyambirai founded a law firm to "fight for the weak, fight for the poor, stand for human rights". Here's a snippet of our 20th Anniversary Celebrations -- where you might catch a glipse of the #BabaYilwaChallenge! 💃🕺🔥 I am so grateful to have become a part of the story of this wonderful group of people who have fought for justice for two decades. As the song prays, may God protect us and fight for us in the spiritual battles we can't see. Here's to the next 20 years and beyond! 🥂
@BabesweHunters Ha ha ha, some people are just used to saving as much as they can. It maybe with a plan to invest in the future or saving for the sake of it and I'm very much for it. Don't build habits you can't sustain. 😉
@daddyhope I believe the way you price your studs actually helps us afford them and progress in the goat business, otherwise we would not afford these breeds. I intend to one day purchase a stud or two from you or other reputable stud breeders in Zimbabwe.

One of the senior Econet executives has reached out to me and explained that their customers and clients are falling prey to scammers. He shared this statement prepared by EcoCash, which I am posting below.
EcoCash says scammers are targeting unsuspecting customers using fake promotions, cheap deals, quick loans, and “too-good-to-be-true” online offers that require payment using EcoCash. In most cases, these scammers trick people into sharing their EcoCash PIN or One-Time Password (OTP). Once this information is disclosed, fraudsters gain unauthorised access to the victim’s EcoCash wallet and steal their money.
EcoCash is warning customers to never share their PIN or OTP with anyone. EcoCash will never ask for this information, not by phone, not by WhatsApp, not by SMS, and not in person.
They are also warning people not to click on links from unverified promotions or loan schemes circulating on social media, SMS, or other digital platforms, and to be cautious of websites or messages using fake EcoCash logos or claiming to be “powered by EcoCash”. EcoCash will also never ask anyone to transfer money to another account or wallet for “safe keeping”.
They say these scams are malicious and designed to defraud customers, and that the best protection is to stay alert. If in doubt, customers should contact EcoCash through official channels or 114 or visit the nearest EcoCash service centre.
He also told me that they are working with the police and POTRAZ to educate the public about these scams.
