My Tete (paternal aunt) passed away. She was a potter and had little in terms of generational wealth. As my inheritance, I chose a clay pot she made herself, two balls of wool from a bag of forgotten knitting projects and the walking stick she used for her arthritic leg.

@VaChivi_ If Tshabangu didn't have(use) "genuine concerns" then he wouldn't have made it through the door.
Just a reminder, before Tshabangu, Byo voted 100% against Zanu Pf.
Byo doesn't stand with Tshabangu.
@Zamamsizazama@VaChivi_ True that. Bulawayo has always been an opposition stronghold. Tshabangu and his handlers were cunning enough to exploit a genuine grievance, for they own sellout agendas!
Remember Teacher Hondongwa arrested and tortured for commemorating June 16. He spent 6 months in pre trial detention and was subsequently fired for absenteeism without good cause. Listen to his message 2 years on.
An African giant has fallen. Abdullah Ibrahim has passed on at 91. His song Mannenburg is synonymous with Zimbabwe Radio 2 programmes that played it as background music in the 90s.
I was in primary school then. Zimbabwe's economy had already taken a nosedive and in ICU. I usually came home after school to my father sitting under the bamboo shed, listening to the radio. He usually did this when he was off or on night shift at Dunlop. He would comment bitterly that under Zanu Pf we were doomed as a nation.
We all had hope that one day the brutal Mugabe regime would fall, that the ailing economy would get better.
Two decades later we are still doomed, Mugabe is gone but we have another leader already taking after Mugabe, altering, mutilating and tampering with the constitution so as to illegally remain in power. Zanu pf must go in its entirety.
Back to Abdullah Ibrahim, rest in peace. Fly high for you have played your part in this cruel world.
Your song brings back bittersweet memories. Nostalgia just kicked in. I miss my father dearly.
So long gentlemen. 🫡🫡
Well, that wasn't quite the farewell some people were expecting! 😅
Thank you to everyone who reached out, commented, called and messaged. Your support did not go unnoticed.
Over the weekend, your voices echoed far beyond the comments section. You made your feelings known, and they were heard.

Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!
Dr Walter Rodney was assassinated on June 13, 1980, by a bomb planted in a walkie talkie. He was 38.
His key work, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, exposed the roots of global inequality and the violence of colonial underdevelopment.
@KingJayZim@LloydMsipa Sorry to bring this up on your timeline, but I have no love for @LloydMsipa he got me & my family deported from UK. Heimpersonated an immigration lawyer, collected my money, pretending to be processing my visa. Sat on my passport until home office gave me hours to leave the UK
