Standard Chartered Bank Zambia CEO surprises his driver Mr Miti by being his driver and taking him home afterwards.
Mr Miti has driven different CEO at the bank for more than 20 years.
It was the driver's birthday. 🙌🏾🙏🏾
For years, social media felt like a weapon for the people. A place to amplify voices, stand for the voiceless, expose injustice, and rally the youth.
his country into something better… through the internet.
After living on the other side of the fence, literally, after moving to Gutu and sinking into rural life, I discovered something shocking:
🔴Nobody out there knows BegottenSun from X/Twitter.
🔴 Nobody gives a f*** about what Advocate ? Professor / Comrade "Anyone" thinks on FB.
🔴Most have only heard rumors of that “Blessed Geza”
🔴They give ZERO fux where Nelson Chamisa’s geolocation on X is.
Their lives are completely removed from whatever storms we create online.
And that’s when it hit me…
1. Social Media Isn’t Reaching the People Who Actually Determine Zimbabwe’s Future
The online space is an echo chamber for urban, connected, educated people. The rural majority—the real electoral, cultural, demographic engine of Zimbabwe - is not online.
Their worldview is shaped by:
free seed and fertilizer handouts
free t-shirts
🔴Chicken inn on campaign days
🔴Free beer
🔴“Big men” donating cars, cows, and solar kits
To them, handouts = leadership.
To them, benevolence = progress.
So your indignation at Sir Wicknel gifting cars to elites and random posters of social media tomfoolery? That outrage doesn’t exist in the rural mind. To them, that’s a chief blessing his people, and they want some blessings too. That’s normal. That’s admired. To a man who has never used a flushing toilet, Trabablas is a HUGE development!
We see corruption. They see MBINGA!
Two worlds. Same country.
2. The Old Era of Tweeting Our Way Into Global Attention Is Gone
There was a time when:
One viral video could shake the state.
🔴Americans cared.
🔴Europe listened.
🔴Mandela Washington Fellows & IVLP’s were treated like rising stars.
🔴Activists could win asylum and global platforms with just a hashtag
🔴Millions would be dished out in the name of diversity and inclusion for Gay / Trans festivals in Harare Gardens
That world is dead.
Our hand picked elites and their cushy NGO jobs that spent billions on hotels and indabas / Workshops to discuss cure "African Hunger" is GONE!
We’re living in the era of Trumps, Le Pens, Farages, and openly racist politics backed by billionaires including the Richest Man on EARTH.
These people don’t give a flying f*** about:
🔴African democracy
🔴your potholes
🔴your service delivery
🔴your jailed opposition
🔴your violated human rights
Because their own countries are detaining citizens, persecuting “fake news” journalists, deporting kids, revoking green cards for “free speech post”, banning visitors, and openly turning a blind eye to genocide.
🔴They don’t care about your struggle.
🔴They don’t care about your tweets.
🔴They don’t care about your small teapot country.
3. Diaspora Safety Is Not Guaranteed Forever
In the UK, Zimbabweans are already persona non grata.
In Australia, the mood is changing. In America, kids who were supposed to start uni this year aren’t going anymore.
🔴Borders are tightening.
🔴Nationalism is rising.
🔴Africans are being told they are “unwanted” everywhere.
Sooner or later, every Zimbabwean out there will face that moment:
🔴Where do I actually belong?
🔴Who will take me in?
🔴What passport will protect me?
The only place on Earth that can never call you a foreigner…
is Zimbabwe 🇿🇼.
4. So What Do We Do?
Every post must answer one question:
Who am I trying to reach, and why?
Understand the world has changed. It’s colder. Harder. Less empathetic. Less interested in Africa’s pain. To them you come from a “Shithole”
Social media used to be a flame. Now it’s a mirror... reflecting our own voices back to us.
Thanks for for coming to my TED Talk
Great initiative by #GreatmanMusic. RETWEET and help him reach as many people as possible!
You know what, my people? A retweet costs you nothing. And when you see somebody who is disabled, like Great Man, pushing this initiative, it should shame us who are able-bodied that we are not able to assist those who are disabled.
The least we can do is to RETWEET so that those who have the heart to help can actually support this cause.
So I ask you again, please RETWEET this initiative that Great Man, who is disabled, has started to assist people like him who are disabled.
It costs you nothing at all as a Zimbabwean or an African to simply RETWEET, or as any other nationality.
Whenever it suits him, Chamisa and his followers claim that he has stepped away from politics. Yet, the moment an attention-grabbing opportunity arises, he reappears with these childish antics. In reality, he has become a virtual obstacle to effective opposition politics in Zimbabwe, inadvertently helping ZANU PF govern the country without meaningful challenge.
