Sic Parvis Magna!

Poverty is man made. Life naturally had more than enough for everyone.

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

There is an African Proverb that I love:

“A cat that dreams of becoming a lion must lose its appetite for rats.”

Meaning: To achieve greatness, you must let go of old habits that could hold back your progress.

Normalize asking God to increase your capacity to serve, lead, and love... not just your income.

There was a time Freeman Chari @freemanchari shared his inspiring journey of breaking into tech. I don’t know if the thread is still up, but boy… that story lit a undying fire in me.

As a Chartered Accountant, I decided to go beyond just accounting principles. I started learning tech skills I could actually leverage.

Fast forward I now implement accounting systems and solutions end-to-end, automating processes, and delivering real solutions for small and medium businesses and within my audit teams.

I am no longer just using systems anymore. I now understand both the backend and frontend deeply.

I have also been heavily involved in audit transformation projects, playing a key role in rolling out tech-led audit methodologies and training teams on data driven audit methodologies.

All of this started because Freeman openly shared his story. I am forever grateful and I still remind myself of it often.

Thank you, Freeman Chari. 🙏

Major cheat code in life: ask for big unreasonable things. The universe will meet you at the level of your audacity.

@VillageGuluva They tried it at the Tower of Babel and God said nah!!

Please louder for Zimbabweans 👇🏾

If you’ve never worked on derisking instruments, shut up about Zimbabwe being risky coz there’s way more riskier countries on the continent doing much better. We don’t have war. Only bad politics and policies but the latter is being resolved.

Nobody wants to admit it, but Google was enough.

@iAmKudaMaynard @Cde_begar @prmakandiwa @UebertAngel Well put chief. We can’t separate our hate with facts unfortunately.

@JoeyK_EDA @PTChimusoro Uhmm mdara what time are those? There will be congestion but the traffic will be moving. If you’re mentioning escorted vehicles maybe but not to call that a terrible or a mess. The same with Ridgeway can be stuck but there’s orders

@iAmKudaMaynard @Cde_begar @prmakandiwa @UebertAngel Im seeing men here calling out Maynard as a lier with no facts lol

[Dear Son. @DearS_o_n]

Today, I came across this beautiful scripture. “I will not leave you until I have done everything I promised." Genesis 28:15 . If you believe God will complete everything he has promised in your life this year, respond with an Amen.

Normalize asking God for strategy, not just miracles.

🙏👋 5/12

Some of the places I’ve been.

It’s been a privilege to travel the length and breadth of your amazing country.

Whether in towns, cities or rural communities, thank you for your warmth and generosity.

Abake babonana bayaphinda babonane!

Meikles may soon be a single-business company: TM Pick n Pay.

It wasn’t always that way. Over the years, Meikles owned a wide-ranging portfolio, including:

- Clicks (Zimbabwe)
- Kingdom Bank
- Meikles Hotel
- Cape Grace Hotel
- Meikles Department Stores
- Barbours
- Greatermans
- Tanganda
- Restaurants and pubs (Black Steer, Bulldogs Pub, Flame Diner)

What do you think is driving the long-term trend that has been making the group smaller?
