Zimbabweans are NEVER going to leave countries like South Africa until:
- The ANC stops endorsing ZANU PF. Thabo Mbeki is referenced a lot.
- Border control stops taking bribes to let Zimbos through.
- A serious border fence is built & monitored.
- Home Affairs officials stop dragging their feet regarding permits (this is how they get bribes).
- South Africans, especially White SAns, stop hiring them & buying from them.
- The world supports Zimbabweans militarily to overthrow ZANU PF, like they've done in other nations.
- SADC leaders stop lying about the situation in Zimbabwe.
Zimbabweans are petrified of ZANU PF & no-one is willing to help them overthrow their corrupt govt, which they say rigs elections.
For that reason, they will not leave & SAns can do whatever they want, but until SAns are willing to help them with ZANU PF or until the South African govt becomes as hostile as ZANU PF, nothing will change.
This is a summary from many of the Zimbos I received in my DMs. 8 out of every 10 msgs were from Zimbabweans.
With that said, many of them are in South Africa legally, they have ZEPs, they have study permits, they have work permits, they are temporary tourists.
Many of them love South Africa & South Africans, and are grateful for the country that we have, & are envious of the freedom of speech we enjoy here.
Note: Many politically-connected ppl in SA own mines & other businesses in Zim. Zimbabwe imports a lot of goods from SA, which boosts the SA economy.
The bottom line: Many Zimbabweans believe that ZANU PF is the problem, & the reason why they are in SA. The ANC leadership supports & defends ZANU PF, instead of holding it accountable. Ramaphosa is willing to take Israel to the ICJ, but not Zimbabwe for human rights violations.
End.
Sad to hear about the passing of Dr Machadu. 💔
Just last week, my father was admitted at Lady Coletta Private Hospital in Plumtree, a health facility Dr Machadu was running. My dad was discharged on Tuesday, alive and healing and today we are mourning the loss of the very man who made that care possible. Life can be painfully unfair. One family celebrates recovery while another is plunged into grief. It is especially heartbreaking when young lives are lost, people who were still giving so much to their communities.May his soul rest in peace, and may strength and comfort find his family, colleagues, and all whose lives he touched.

He is correct. Shona is a colonial construction that was formalised in 1931 by South African linguist, Dr Clement Doke, who was hired by the Rhodesian government to create a common language for the black population outside of the Ndebele-speaking communities.
It is an insult to be called Shona, and those who do so deserve to be called out. The term was never indigenous; it was imposed by colonial administrators to lump together diverse groups for easier control.
We are Manyika, Zezuru, Korekore, Karanga, Ndau, and Barwe — each with our own distinct histories, dialects, and cultural identities. The name “Shona” erased these differences and served as a colonial tool of homogenisation.
I stayed in the Bulawayo CBD for the past 6 years and one thing i noticed, almost every morning I'd see @CityofBulawayo workers cleaning in town. But at around 10am, you'd think there wasn't anything done.
Littering has to stop!!!!
This used to be a clean city. It can be
