@KMarazanye @matigary @radio_zimbabwe @EZRATSHISA @nkomo_selwyn @nickmangwana @Jamwanda2 @ProfJNMoyo @MthuliNcube01 @KazembeKazembe3 @fortunechasi The collective and standardized ethnonym "Shona" did not become an official linguistic and political classification until the 20th century, notably through the work of linguist Clement Doke in 1931 for the colonial administration.

Non of these should have been listed before Phathisa Nyathi?! Then there is Henry Olonga, Albert Luthuli, N.S Sigogo? And Kirsty is from Salisbury

In addition to these legends: Kirsty Coventry, Heath Streak, Cont Mhlanga, Thokozani Khuphe, Busisa Moyo, Raj Modi, the Ndlovu brothers, Benjamin Burombo, Joshua Nkomo, Cal_Vin, Nitefreak, Raisedon Baya etc,

@TembaMliswa Happy birthday Sabhuku

[Mmillili Tapela @Mmillili]

@josegumbire1 @TembaMliswa If he is 55 in 2026, he was born in 1971. That lines up with starting Grade 1 at age 6 in 1977 (according to your assession). 1982 is five years later, so he would have been 11 and in Grade 6.... which is correct, NO?

@citezw @Dr_JAMavedzenge @citezw @ProfJNMoyo please clarify in terms of law if President Mnangagwa has rights to benefit from the change or setting of 7 year term limit

[Mmillili Tapela @Mmillili]

@citezw @ProfJNMoyo brings out a valid point on the rules of engagement. The point of this public discourse is not for you as social scientists to entertain us but to inform and enlighten us

@Jamwanda2 Great read my leader, 1 or 2 takeaways:
1. The current chiefs are in fact a result of the African Natives Act not a royal lineage dating before colonialism? 2. Chairman Chitepo did a brush through on the Matebele as if BaSotho, BaKalanga, BaTonga, VaVenda were infact Nguni?

[Mmillili Tapela @Mmillili]

@begottensun You have got to be a cunt and a political bigot to have that sort of thought process like @matinyarare. He probable had writen his own fabricated obituary. My biggest worry is not him but the people that like and repost his posts - thats some next level delusion!

In 2006, I was at a travel agency on Samora Machel Avenue in Harare collecting my flight ticket for my trip that evening to London. Those days we had to physically go and collect our tickets.

I saw a young man who was literally in tears. He had been given money to pay for his ticket because he was going abroad to study medicine on a scholarship, and the money had either been lost or stolen on his way to pay for his ticket. He was devastated.

I asked the agent, Sis Elizabeth, why the young man was crying, and she explained the situation to me. I was not a man of huge means. I asked to see his paperwork, and he showed me everything. He was with his brother, and he produced the scholarship letters and all the relevant documents.

His waiting touched me, but I could not use my UK credit card to help him because Zimbabwe had a dysfunctional banking system, and it still does. So I asked the agent to issue the young man his ticket and put it on my account. I took his details, and I also gave him mine.
His parents, both ordinary school teachers, called me to thank me profoundly, and asked to meet with me when I am back from my UK trip. They eventually paid the money about a year and a half later.

Nineteen years later, someone from my home in Britain called me today to say there was a parcel for me. I asked her to open it, inside was a 1962 vintage Glen Grant bottle of whisky worth £2,500 (R56,950).
This not-so-young man anymore has sent it as a Christmas present. He is now a specialist practising medicine in France.

Thank you so much, Ronald, for the whisky. Writing this made my eyes well up. I continuously wish you and your family well.
This reminds us that when we do good for others, regardless of how much time passes, people never forget the kindness that lifted them when they needed it most.
