📹 Wicknell Chivayo releases selfie video of him being driven by Kenyan President William Ruto. The Zimbabwean businessman attended the engagement party of Ruto’s daughter when he says the president “offered to drive and drop me 3km to the helipad where I had left my helicopter.”

“Now I believe royal blood indeed flows through my veins,” Chivayo wrote, praising Ruto’s “unmatched humility.”

🇺🇸 This is why Lionel Messi chose Miami. Because nobody knows him.

He can go about his life like a normal person, and go to a shop with his kids.

On 24 May 1994, as Zimbabwe danced to Banolila, its beloved Kalanga musician Solomon Skuza lay gravely ill.

The man whose voice had become part of the nation's soundtrack was fighting for his life.

His family refused to surrender.

They took him from doctor to doctor, hoping someone could restore the musician who had filled weddings, beerhalls and family celebrations with song.

When medicine failed, they turned to traditional healers.

They spent what they had trying to save him.

Yet as Solomon battled illness, another struggle unfolded. Despite selling tens of thousands of records, royalty payments arrived too late, while the relentless cost of doctors, traditional healers and treatment consumed the money he had earned.

Nothing worked.

Later that day, Solomon Skuza died while his family was still searching for a way to save him.

He was just 39 years old.

Zimbabwe continued singing Makhumalo Ntombi Yami, Salibonani MaZimbabwe and Ndangariro.

Wherever Banolila plays, Solomon Skuza still sings.

It’s no secret I have a close relationship with Zimbabwe, so I’m always routing for them as a country, for the people, for their cricket.

That said, with the World Cup coming up next year I’d encourage people to look at Victoria Falls as a destination to visit and watch games, even if it’s not your team, you won’t be disappointed, I promise you that!

Cape Town is the obvious choice for hot spot right now, but I have a feeling after the WC supporters will say Vic Falls was their favorite. Don’t miss out. You’re welcome 👊

US$554.4 million in contracts, but funding is lagging. Gwayi-Shangani Dam is 80% complete, yet the pipeline meant to carry water to Bulawayo is only 16% done. Current funding covers the dam wall—not the full water system. https://t.co/n81LB9q3qE

As a failed president, he presided over the decline of America's influence in the world. He weakened America's position in the Middle East, with virtually all U.S. bases coming under attack and allied countries left exposed, revealing that America could not fully defend them against an enemy it could not decisively defeat itself. He also handed them control of the Strait of Hormuz, contributing to skyrocketing oil prices, and, combined with reckless tariffs, he virtually wrecked the global economy.

He also made corruption appear official, even attempting to take $10 billion from American taxpayers through what critics described as a baseless lawsuit, while living at the White House at taxpayers' expense. He accepted gifts, including a private jet that was retrofitted using taxpayer money, with the hope of eventually converting it into his personal aircraft. There were also crypto ventures here, executive orders that benefited his businesses there. To many, it appeared to be corruption on a scale never before seen from an American president.

By being so open about it, he also undermined the moral authority that America had long claimed on the world stage. It was not just corruption; it was also narcissism on a level never seen before. He put his image on the U.S. passport, the U.S. dollar, and on U.S. bridges and buildings, including one named after the assassinated President John F. Kennedy.

Supporters who had attacked President Biden over allegations involving his son's business dealings largely remained silent, speaking out of both sides of their mouths and seemingly unsure how to respond. It was, in my view, a global and domestic disaster unfolding live on television for the entire world to witness.

@AfricanHub_ These are the kind of stories which should become normal for Africa if we are to prosper and become a better continent rather than those of hunger,wars,misgovervance,corruption,disease.

Well-known Malawian footwear craftsman Chimwemwe Mwenyemasi has concluded a supply deal with the South African store group PEP that will enable his products to be marketed throughout the continent.

Despite receiving an invitation to work under a permit in South Africa, he chose to produce the shoes inside Malawi so as to generate employment at home and assist the nation in obtaining overseas currency.

The arrangement comes after he completed wide-ranging instruction in shoe-making across multiple African states, refining his expertise prior to obtaining the continent-wide retail collaboration.

Ever wondered why GoZ since 2009 threatens to reintroduce monocurrency but every time they fail?

Why does the RBZ and GoZ think force is the way to go? When the economy is 90% dollarised ? Why has a gold backed currency which on paper is superior to the USD failed to convince the people?

One day your parents will become your children. Not in age, but in need.

There will come a time when they forget things you just told them. When they move slower, ask the same question twice, and need help with what used to be easy.

Don’t see it as a burden. See it as a debt of love being paid back. Call them more. Visit them more. Speak softer while you still can.

Because one day the phone will stop ringing. And you will realize that all the power in the world cannot buy back one more second with the souls who built you.

@nickmangwana If this is indeed the government's response then,no doubt, only God can help us.

Shocking Case in India: Public Punishment of the Perpetrators

In Sri Ganganagar, a 13-year-old schoolgirl was abducted, sold to hotel owners, and gang-raped by up to 32 men in groups over the course of five days. The perpetrators held her captive in several hotels, forced her to drink alcohol, and abused her daily in groups of up to six men. The minor survived the horror. Following a police raid, she was freed alive.

Outraged residents took matters into their own hands: They captured several perpetrators (at least 18 individuals), tied them together with ropes, and paraded them publicly through the streets—a clear form of public punishment and shaming. They then handed the bound men over to the police.

The authorities in Rajasthan responded with an iron fist: They ordered the demolition of all four hotels involved. The case has sparked nationwide outrage, not only due to the unimaginable brutality toward a child, but also because of the failure of the child protection system.

Wonderful local innovation for chicken breeders! This is exactly the kind of home-grown ingenuity that can transform poultry farming, improve productivity, and create economic opportunities for our communities. We need to celebrate and support local innovators who are developing practical solutions for farmers.
