Two Giants Lost, One Dream Still Alive. People often celebrate the success of farming, but few see the setbacks behind every achievement. Over the past seven years, my journey as a cattle farmer has taught me one lesson above all else – that resilience is the greatest investment.

CATTLE RUSTLERS STRIKE AGAIN

A COMMUNAL farmer in Rusape was left counting huge loses after cattle rustlers broke into his kraal, stole two beasts and slaughtered and deboned them before disappearing with the meat.

I have just received this message from a @CityofBulawayo resident - a well known professional in our City:

"Good Morning Dave

Please would you extend my appreciation to the Bulawayo Fire Brigade for attending to a fire at my thatched property in Burnside. I lost the carport but more importantly they saved the main house. An ember from an adjacent bushfire found its way onto the roof of the carport. They were absolutely amazing. They arrived within minutes of being called. They displayed their professionalism in prioritising the saving of the main house with a team constantly dousing its roof whilst another team continued to control the carport fire.

I am eternally grateful to these dedicated men and women and am proud that the city can boast such a remarkable service."

We really do have an outstanding Fire Department and my congratulations and thanks are extended to the Fire Chief and his entire Department.

Amhlophe!

In awe. The waterhole at Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve - zebras, antelopes, sable, impalas, elephants all gathering. Wildlife up close, watch the whole video… it looks like National Geographic, even better.

Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve is in south-eastern Zimbabwe, borders Gonarezhou National Park.

The grey/white Brahman chapter has closed, and the Charolais chapter begins. Let's catch up in two years. By God's grace, I hope the story will be one of growth, resilience, and success.

To every farmer facing setbacks, whether through disease, theft, drought, or loss: don't let hardship write the final chapter of your story. Keep learning. Keep investing. Keep believing. As for me, I've turned the page.

On 24 May 1994, as Zimbabwe danced to Banolila, its beloved Kalanga musician Solomon Skuza lay gravely ill.

The man whose voice had become part of the nation's soundtrack was fighting for his life.

His family refused to surrender.

They took him from doctor to doctor, hoping someone could restore the musician who had filled weddings, beerhalls and family celebrations with song.

When medicine failed, they turned to traditional healers.

They spent what they had trying to save him.

Yet as Solomon battled illness, another struggle unfolded. Despite selling tens of thousands of records, royalty payments arrived too late, while the relentless cost of doctors, traditional healers and treatment consumed the money he had earned.

Nothing worked.

Later that day, Solomon Skuza died while his family was still searching for a way to save him.

He was just 39 years old.

Zimbabwe continued singing Makhumalo Ntombi Yami, Salibonani MaZimbabwe and Ndangariro.

Wherever Banolila plays, Solomon Skuza still sings.
