"I've been employing Zimbabweans for last 20 years, I'm sad that they're being taken out of the country. The reason we prefer Zimbabweans is because they're smart and hardworking" - Cape Town resident
🤦🏽♂️🇿🇼Dear Mente,
🔴Let’s cut the bullshit. I read Hood's book “Shut Up and Make Money” and now waiting for the new one “How to Make Money in the Shortest Possible Time” not for actual strategy, but for a dopamine hit of "positive mindset." That mindset is a luxury we cannot afford in Zimbabwe.
🔸Here is the brutal truth: In this country, hustle culture is a lie. You do not thrive here through grit or good vibes. You thrive here through PROXIMITY to POWER
🔹Look at the evidence. Mudiwa @MudiwaHood made $350,000usd on spot in purchases, they were not buying books—they were SUPPORTING one of their OWN, loyalty. The price of the tickets and the guest list told you everything: this was a gathering of the connected, not the COMMON MAN
🔸If you are not in ZANU PF, you are not in the game. You are just a SPECTATOR .
🔹And that is precisely why i RESPECT one thing about ZANU PF @ZANUPF_Official: They take care of their own. It is a closed loop. If you are INSIDE , you EAT. If you are OUTSIDE , you STARVE.
🔸So, if you are a ZANU PF member and you are still suffering, it is because you have failed to leverage your position. You are a waste of that connection. At 6 AM every morning, look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself: "I am nothing." Because in this ecosystem, if you cannot convert POLITICAL capital into FINANCIAL capital, you are WORTHLESS.
🔹Stop reading for motivation. Start reading the room. In Zimbabwe, success is not a measure of your mind—it is a measure of your network. No political connection? No success. Period.
🔸That is Zimbabwe. You either play the game or you get played. There is no third option.
I can’t get over the voice a Malawian who kept pleading to his pursuers: “What I do wrong? What I do wrong sister; what I do wrong!!!” You have to have been raised by a conscienceless culture not to feel the tag right through to the bottom of your heart!!!!!

Does Wicknell Chivayo ever sleep? Just when many thought he would be in Cape Town celebrating the purchase of his reported US$9.5 million mansion, he is already in Tanzania pursuing a US$200 million world class hospitality project in the Serengeti & Ngorongoro. The development will boost luxury tourism and attract significant international investment to Tanzania and the broader East African region.
