Some of the comments under this tweet had me shaking my head.

People were reacting without taking a moment to actually look and think.
It didn’t take long to get the sarcasm.

All I did was study the picture and read it properly. The name says it all: 25 On Thames. The River Thames is in London, and there are areas called “Upon Thames.” That’s clearly the joke.

He even adds, “the only giveaway is the fence,” which makes the sarcasm even more obvious.
What’s more worrying are the comments saying, “This can never be England with such poor structures.” That’s simply not true. Here in England, there are plenty of estates with blocks that look exactly like this ,some even worse and badly in need of paint.

Ah well. This is why I’m always careful with sarcasm or banter in unfamiliar company… you might get punched in the face for it. 😆

“AFCON SMEAR CAMPAIGN”
(Same Game, Different Judgement)

A comment by Darren Lewis, a respected British sports journalist, deserves real credit. Paraphrasing his point:

We need to stop pushing the lazy narrative that what happened at the AFCON final is somehow a stain on all of African football.

When England fans vandalised Wembley after Euro 2020, it wasn’t framed as a failure of European football.

When Calciopoli exposed deep corruption in Italy and Juventus were relegated, it wasn’t used to discredit European club football as a whole.

When Steve Bruce led Sheffield United off the pitch during an FA Cup tie against Arsenal at Highbury, no one claimed it represented English football.

Yet, similar incidents at AFCON are quickly weaponised to question the legitimacy, organisation, and credibility of African football as a whole.

That double standard is the real issue, not the tournament.

Same game. Same problems. Different judgement.
AFCON isn’t the problem, the bias is.

I don’t think anyone is disputing that you can use Zimpost to send letters. But the fact that in 2025 we can only trust Zimpost to send letters is the problem.

They have the infrastructure and the manpower to give Zim next day delivery, to give us an Amazon like service.

Of those options, why are they choosing to go into real estate?

@drruwende Besides delaying or preventing ovulation it thickens cervical mucus which makes it difficult for the sperm to reach the egg. Recent studies also show that it alters the endometrium tissue preventing pregnancy. It does work though the chances are reduced compared to preovulation.

One thing you must deliberately do is travel to unlock your imaginary possibilities. If there’s one thing Zimbabwe teaches you, it’s how to survive. But if you’re not careful, you’ll start mistaking survival for growth. Talk to random people and you’ll see what I mean. Many have mastered living in the moment (which is brilliant, by the way). But hope? It’s taken with a pinch of salt. People just want to make it to the next day. Ask an SME owner about their 10-year plan and you’ll rarely hear talk of millions or billions.

That’s what prolonged exposure to man-made challenges does. It doesn’t just humble you, it shrinks your vision. You adjust, adapt, survive… but you stop imagining. Forget politics. I know nothing about that. But I do know this: resilience is good, but not always. Survival isn’t living. It’s clinging to life by a thread that could snap at any moment.

My dad was a church sexton in a very big Anglican Church. He was well known and well loved by everyone. He had a good rapport with the big and rich men that when I was about to graduate, he kept telling most of them who had companies then that his son was about to finish school and

Re-imaging Bulawayo.

It’s important to revive the 1964 trade agreement with SA. Or at least join SACU. Bulawayo being nearer to SA would benefit the most argues Dumi Sibanda. The uniform cost structure in the country (eg wages)is a disadvantage to smaller cities like Bulawayo.

United states is 20 years behind the UK when it comes to poultry farming.

One thing that really bothers me is the lack of poultry farming innovation in Zimbabwe. There are no real high-tech poultry houses in the country. The ones I see are very American and years behind.

Zimbabwe has one of the best climates for growing chicken in both winter & summer yet nobody is really giving it a real go.

You have people investing in Mining, Blueberries, Wheat, Tobacco & Maize. I mean people with real money can't invest in poultry. Why? I don't get it! Why is the poultry industry not taken seriously by investors or rich people who decide they want to go into farming?

Its always center pivots, irrigation & tractors. You are at a far greater risk doing arable farming. Poultry is controlled & less likley to have problems with that investment. Plus the turnaround is way quicker than any crop planted. With Large-Scale, High-Tech poultry houses you can push birds out at 1.8 to 2kg @ 31days.

You could have a 270k bird site with 1 worker! Regarding labour its hassle free. Anaerobic digestion to power up the place you shouldn't have electricity problems. Biomass for heating so no need for a drop of gas. Theft won't be possible & all you have to do is grow good chicken. Yet we still see these open side sheds.

Doing it the way we see most poultry houses is Zimbabwe would loose you two whole cycles per year of chicken growing. That is some serious loot if the farmer has a considerable amount of chickens.

Why dont we see any kind of innovation in Zimbabwe's poultry industry?

I am guessing nobody is getting the real advice needed!

Ethiopian Airlines kicked out a passenger on my flight because a minister took her seat.

They didn’t apologize and they eventually forcefully offloaded her screaming. The minister did nothing. Disgraceful

A Zimbabwean magistrate named Ruth Moyo has denied bail to Zimbabwe’s senior opposition leader Jameson Timba and 78 other opposition activists arrested with him on June 16 this year.

Timba, a former cabinet minister in the Government of National Unity, was arrested along with the 78 others at his home, where they were celebrating the 1976 Youth Day with a braai.

His tenants and even his son were also arrested and beaten up badly, some have broken legs.
One of the activists lost a child this week who is being buried and she was not allowed to bury her own son according to Timba’s party.
