We built a Time Machine... let me explain. A few weeks ago, we shared a photograph from the late 1800s showing young Shona speaking maidens in the 1890s wearing leather skirts with chevron patterns, beads, jewellery, and ostrich eggshell ornaments .
We decided to recreate this iconic look in 2025 in the same way it was back then.We imagined the tones and textures of the leather, cowhide, and accessories 200 years ago.

@NembawareNigel Zimbabwean prices are lower and not cost of living, cost of living is determined by many factors including income and we all know Zim income is low as compared to the prices.
@LynneStactia As a woman in IT , am really disappointed, this was an opportunity for her to prove that we are essential in the IT space and to also push for skills development for young women in remote areas. Proper IT governance can change an economy but she is wasting taxpayers money.
