This 2,000 year old tree is located t Zwigodini Village of Mutale in Limpopo, South Africa.

Venda people call it, “Muri Kunguluwa”, which means, “The Tree That Roars”. The tree actually makes a roaring sound when the wind blows through its branches.

It is also called, “The Tree Of Life”, because it serves as a source of life to the animals and the community that lives around it. 80% of its trunk consists of water and it can hold up to 4,500 liters, making it a water source for the community and the animals.

Elephants eat the bark. Baboons eat the fruit. Leaves can also be eaten. Birds, bees, fruit bats and bush babies nest in the tree. Humans use the dried fruit powder in drinks, as a source of vitamins, antioxidants and minerals. The bark can be used to make rope, baskets, mats, cloth and paper.

It also holds a spiritual significance for African people. In ancient times, leaders and elders would hold meetings under huge baobab trees, to discuss important matters. They believed that the spirit of the baobab would help them make wise decisions.

Micheal Maponga says Zim earns USD2m a year from movies. I will ask him what policies & ecosystems are needed to move Zim movie industry to Nollywood which earns USD5bn & employs 1 million people.

If you can’t walk away from a negotiation, then you aren’t negotiating. You’re just working out the terms of your slavery.

Just finished "A Man Named Otto" and it's movies like this that remind me why I fell in love with the film industry. Beautiful and memorable stories that leave you feeling inspired ❤️ Highly recommend on Netflix.

Dr. Charles Stanley, an avid teacher of the faith who served at @FirstBaptistATL for 51 years, died today. He was 90 years old. Without question, there are people waiting for him in heaven who are there because of his ministry! Join me in condolences to all those who mourn.

@rusty_ralston @alexiskold Thanks for the strategy. Are we able to move money from gov backed securities on a monthly basis?

[Michael S. Maponga @MichaelMaponga]

@DarrelFrater I disagree. This is subjective to your situation. No investor will invest in a PT founder. Building a company is already hard enough as a FT founder. You can't build a scalable company being PT. The struggle molds you into a better founder and helps you navigate and operate lean.
