An irresponsible mind that loves comfort & euphoria is prone to psychic & spiritual anarchy. Africa's youth will suffer a spiritual revolution. It will take cooperation, faith, purpose, & an African God, not foreign aid to break the chains of economic & psychospiritual bondage.

Well, this is good news and a welcome outcome. Now the people who are implementing radical change for Zimbabwe can get to work.

[ZimLive @zimlive]

📹 Parliament passes the controversial Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment Bill (No. 3) by 216 to 42 votes. Zanu PF needed 187 votes for a two thirds majority. CCC MP Charlton Hwende says Zanu PF was short of that number by 7 votes but were helped by 35 defectors. 22 MPs abstained

Exactly true, and this is why a one-party state would better serve South Africa, Zimbabwe, and other nations in Africa. More attention to development and good governance rather than electioneering.

Western-style democracy is failing Africa, says Dr Arikana Chihombori-Quao. Four-year election cycles leave little time to fix a country’s problems, with critics arguing they expose nations to powerful lobby groups and exploitation. The former AU envoy points to governance systems that once led Africa thousands of years before colonialists turned up and ‘dumped’ democracy on the continent. There were centralised kingdoms as well as consensus-based societies, with research showing they promoted collective welfare. That said, two-thirds of Africans prefer democracy to any other system of government, according to a 2024 Afrobarometer survey. Do you?

Why is the minister talking to someone's pillar of strength as if he is a boy? Minister or not, she is there to serve the people and not the other way round. Why infantilize an individual who is a community leader in front of the community? Could have sold it discreetly.

[Hopewell Chin’ono @daddyhope]

This video really broke my heart. It is painful to watch, yet it reflects the reality of life for many ordinary Zimbabweans.
The woman in the video is Zimbabwe’s Minister of ICT, Postal and Courier Services, Tatenda Mavetera, who is also a Member of Parliament.

She is presiding over a dispute involving just US$300 that was allegedly meant to be passed on to someone else. What is striking is not the dispute itself, but the fact that this amount has become the centrepiece of a community gathering, with scores of people waiting anxiously because that money matters so much to them.

Forty years ago, a Zimbabwean civil servant could earn around US$300 a month. Today, an entire community can be consumed by a dispute over that same amount.

But the US$300 is not the real story.

The real story is that people need money for hospital bills, food, clothing, school fees, transport, and countless other necessities. They are struggling to meet basic needs. That is why this issue has attracted such attention.

At the centre of a community discussion being adjudicated by a Cabinet minister is an amount of money that can disappear in a single evening at a restaurant in London or Johannesburg.
Yet for the people gathered here, that money means everything.

This is what poverty looks like. This is what economic failure looks like. It is not measured by the luxury cars driven by a small elite, or by the mansions built in affluent suburbs. It is not hidden by people drilling private boreholes because public water systems no longer function, or installing solar systems because the national electricity supply is unreliable. Those are symptoms of dysfunction in themselves.

The real measure of a country is the condition of the average citizen.
And the average Zimbabwean is struggling.

When people ask why Zimbabweans leave their country in such large numbers, this video provides part of the answer. They are not running away from Zimbabwe. They are running away from poverty, hardship, and the daily struggle to survive.

Imagine the British Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, or South Africa’s Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, having to preside over a public dispute involving the equivalent of R5,800 or £220. It would be almost unimaginable. Yet in Zimbabwe, such a matter can become the focal point of an entire community.

As Africans, we must be honest with ourselves. We cannot measure progress by the lifestyles of a tiny elite while the majority live in deprivation. A country is not successful because a few people drive expensive cars, travel abroad, or live comfortably. A country succeeds when ordinary people can afford food, healthcare, education, housing, and a dignified life.

I might drive a nice car. I might own a beautiful home. I might travel the world and enjoy privileges that many can only dream of. But none of that says anything meaningful about the health of my country if the average child goes to bed hungry.

The success of a nation is not measured by the wealth of its elite. It is measured by the wellbeing of its ordinary people.
And that is the conversation Zimbabweans, and Africans more broadly, need to have.

Other nations beyond Zimbabwe, beyond our continent, and people of other races will not respect us. Even if I turn up to a meeting in Harare driving a Bugatti or a Lamborghini to meet an investor from London, they will have a very dim view not only of my country, but of me as well.

Driving a Lamborghini on pothole-ridden roads, they will look down on me as an individual and on my country as a nation. Nobody with genuine pride can honestly believe they are doing well when the average person is going to bed on an empty stomach.

Testosterone doesn’t make you aggressive.

Robert Sapolsky flipped the script: Give a low-ranking monkey a huge testosterone boost, it doesn’t challenge the alphas. It terrorizes the ones below it.

The hormone doesn’t invent aggression. It exaggerates whatever social pattern already exists. In humans, it can even drive extreme generosity if that’s how you gain status.

The real problem isn’t testosterone. It’s that we reward aggression with status so easily.

What do you think, if society rewarded kindness more, would testosterone make us kinder?

[Thabo Mbeki Foundation @TMFoundation_]

In this video, President Thabo Mbeki shares a powerful story about Soga’s Pan-African vision. He recounts how Soga responded to a 19th-century missionary who claimed Africans were a "perishing" people for refusing to convert. Soga rejected this narrow view, looking instead at the strength of Africans across the globe—from the Americas and the Caribbean to the continent itself. He argued that Africans, as a global diaspora, were not perishing but were part of a unified, resilient whole.

[SHAV★ @shavnyuy]

I studied architectural design in Cameroon and every architect they taught me was European. Every movement, every theory, every name on the required reading list. The Great Mosque of Djenné, the Moorish arch, Great Zimbabwe never appeared on any syllabus.

Now I am studying management and every economist is Western. George Ayittey, a Ghanaian who built an entire economic framework for African development, has never appeared in a single lecture. Dambisa Moyo, a Zambian economist who argued that Western aid is destroying African economies, same.

Two disciplines. Not one African name in the required reading.

This is not only an architecture problem. It is medicine, law, economics, history. Every field is taught through a foreign lens and when a student tries to think beyond it they are disciplined for it.

We are not behind because we lack knowledge. We are behind because we were taught that ours does not count.

[Uhlanga lukaSikhunyana! Yanga! @MhlangaArchie]

@sekwaiii @KusaselihleNgu2 The British royal family has more than ten different names in different languages. Africans are okay with that foreign majesty, but when it comes to our own history, sikhuza uhlazo—colonized minds.

[Uhlanga lukaSikhunyana! Yanga! @MhlangaArchie]

@sekwaiii @KusaselihleNgu2 and other terms by late arrivals to Southern Africa. There are groups like vaDuma who, upon the migration of the Langa, assumed the identity of the Langa. Thaat the Langa were called different names in different languages by different peoples should not confuse you.
