"Until lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter"

We've been taught history from a Eurocentric viewpoint, where the world's narrative begins and ends with Western achievements. But what about the vast knowledge systems of Africa, Asia, or the Americas before colonization?

I want to emphasise again, especially to men, do not get too familiar with your friend’s wives or your brother’s wives, it is not proper. Sometimes your friend feels uncomfortable, but he keeps quiet because he does not want to create conflict.
He might not verbalise his anger, but your behaviour is wrong. There are people who walk into someone’s home and instead of spending time with their friend, they are now in the kitchen chatting with the wife. It is not proper. I repeat, it is not proper.

Treat your friend’s wife the same way you would treat a mother-in-law. You do not go around hugging, holding, or being touchy-touchy with your mother-in-law, so the same applies to your friend’s wife. Respect her. A man who behaves the way this lady describes her hubby’s friend is showing that he has no manners and was not brought up well.

I once had a neighbour who never allowed men to visit his home. When he explained it to me, he correctly said that women are more likely to have affairs with men close to them and, in many cases, with their husband’s friends.
Research in social psychology confirms that romantic or sexual boundaries are most often crossed by people who are already close or familiar within one’s social circle.

That is why in some communities in Zimbabwe you cannot even greet another man’s wife by hand. Our forebears understood these things and they created buffers. These communities created behavioural buffers precisely to avoid misunderstandings or temptations.

So if your friend comes into your house behaving huggy-huggy and touchy-touchy with your wife, that person is disrespectful and has no place in your home as a visitor or friend. Do not invite them.

And to the wives, you must draw red lines. Do not accept things that embarrass your husbands and upset you. Be a woman with dignity. If someone tries to do something improper, tell them immediately, even in front of your husband, that “no, you do not do that to me.”

“I am not your friend, your friendship is with my husband.”

That is what a proper woman does. You cannot be walking around holding hands with your husband’s friend, what kind of nonsense is that? There must be boundaries. As they say, a man who cannot respect the boundaries of his friend’s home is a man who has no boundaries of his own. He is not worth having as a friend.

Letter from a parent;👇🏿

Good Morning Hopewell,

We need help as Parents concerning an issue with Dudley Hall Primary School in Norton.l got a place at this government school for my little child for ECDA for 2026. They told us deadline for uniforms and orientation day for kids is 17 November and had told us the uniforms cost $350USD for girls but then the day they had told us to come and collect the uniform list they brought a paper with $403 USD for girls and the boys had just a total of over $350.

We all agreed as parents to reject the Figure and demanded that they give us the list with prices for uniforms so that we compare their price with NB but till now the meeting hasn't happened yet deadline for payment is Monday and they want to force us to buy from their supplier who is said to have a backlog of last year.

All we want is for the school to give a list of uniforms with prices and not force us to buy their expensive staff from their own supplier who has a last year backlog. We don't want to pay uniforms then we are told to wait for them in winter yet we have shops that sell the best quality in the country with readily available uniforms than wait for one person failing to meet their target.

Please help us to put the matter on the spotlight we want the ministry of education to know but don't have the information of where to send the complain.

Please help.

My view
WHY DO SCHOOLS FORCE PARENTS TO BUY UNIFORMS FROM ONE SUPPLIER? WHY NOT JUST BUY FROM SUPPLIERS LIKE ENBEE INSTEAD OF HAVING A DEDICATED SUPPLIER, IT SOUNDS LIKE A CORRUPT ARRANGEMENT TO ME.

PARENTS SHOULD SIMPLY DISOBEY THIS NONSENSE. GO AND BUY THE CORRECT UNIFORM FOR YOUR CHILDREN. IF THE SCHOOL REQUIRES GREY, BUY GREY.

IF IT REQUIRES KHAKI, BUY KHAKI. THEN LET US SEE WHETHER THE SCHOOL WILL DARE TURN A CHILD AWAY SIMPLY BECAUSE THE PARENTS REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE IN THEIR CORRUPT ARRANGEMENT WITH A CHOSEN SUPPLIER. IF THEY ATTEMPT THAT, YOU CAN BRING A CLASS ACTION AND TAKE THE MATTER TO COURT.

Great initiative by #GreatmanMusic. RETWEET and help him reach as many people as possible!

You know what, my people? A retweet costs you nothing. And when you see somebody who is disabled, like Great Man, pushing this initiative, it should shame us who are able-bodied that we are not able to assist those who are disabled.

The least we can do is to RETWEET so that those who have the heart to help can actually support this cause.

So I ask you again, please RETWEET this initiative that Great Man, who is disabled, has started to assist people like him who are disabled.
It costs you nothing at all as a Zimbabwean or an African to simply RETWEET, or as any other nationality.

APPEALING FOR HELP FOR TINOTENDA MUNAVA

Tinotenda Munava (22years) had an accident on 14 August 2025 and was taken to Harare Central Hospital. His leg was broken in 3 places. See picture below.

The doctors now recommend a surgical procedure to hold the broken bones together with special implants, such as plates, screws, nails, and wires. The estimated cost of the procedure at Harare Hospital is US$ 900.
The caste initially used has not been able to heal the broken leg and Tinotenda cannot walk and has to be carried.

Tinotenda’s parents and grandparents are all late and he is staying with a distant relative. The relative stays with is in the rural area and doesn’t have money for the required surgical procedure.

We are appealing to you to find people that can help to raise the +$900 needed to correct the problem.

This is a GoFund set up by well-wishers for a Zimbabwean disabled teacher who was jailed for six months for protesting against the violation of the Constitution.
The regime fired him from his job while he was in jail. Please assist by simply RETWEETING!
