Principles of work in Zimbabwe 🔥

1. Always bill for your work or charge for your product ALWAYS , some Zimbabweans are happy to use you for no profit to yourself and to their advantage and profit very selfish and evil it is

2. Choose contingency ( work now get paid later ) arrangements with wisdom. In my experience those usually end badly youd be lucky to get paid

3. Never pay for a product or service in advance , chances it will end in tears

4. If you are employing and you see a CV with many employers and short stints at different jobs DO NOT HIRE that person

5. Stay away from Zvigananda business it is not sustainable in the future especially if you are young. You have a whole life ahead to live

6. If you decide to be in politics never use your own money to plow into politics. It is a zero sum game

7. Never give a group of people money to curry favor 😒 they won't appreciate it , instead you breed secret resentment

8. You will soon find that a beer that costs $ 1 is more expensive than a $ 5 beer. Where you hang around is important. Network in the right places

9. Never pick up golf with the sole intention of networking. Real golfers just want to play golf not hear your pitch. Rather enjoy the game and create lasting relationships

10. Never own property. Maybe your clothes and mobile phone. Everything else must be owned by a trust

11. Stay away from slay Queens and Sugar boys ( if you are a woman ) again it is a zero sum game. It is a very expensive hobby for a few minutes of pleasure at a time. Focus on wealth building instead

12. Invest in good Medical Dr's, Lawyers , Accountants , Tax consultants. These will save you in the long run

13. Do not plow capital into your primary residence. Your house in reality is not an asset. You are unlikely to even leverage of it. Its risky

14. Cars are the hill some of us will die on , there is no wisdom in those shiny beautiful machines

15. Someone who directly threatens your source of income is an enemy and must be destroyed with no mercy

16. Always Pray 🙏🏾

Across much of Africa, poverty fractures families more than any moral failing. It turns kinship into an economy of obligation, where those who “make it” are recast as perpetual providers. However, this moral economy is asymmetrical (demands are limitless, but capacity is not). The benefactor becomes an insurer of last resort, even as their own vulnerability goes unseen. This reveals how poverty distorts solidarity into pressure.

All along we have all assumed that ZANU PF is afraid to have a referendum but we are told on great authority that a referendum is going to be called soon. ZANU PF has already invested millions in campaign funds, it has structures that are already campaigning in the villages for people to vote “Yes” while those opposed to the referendum are focused on court cases, talking about Chamisa, the beatings and unfair consultation process.

What those who are opposing this process need to do is create structures to educate people about the Bill and upcoming referendum.

I just watched the interview of a war veteran who was part of the Gukurahundi brigade that came from Tanzania and handled the Badza rebellion. I am just reflecting on the culture of disagreement in Zimbabwe. Once a person disgrees with your position, no matter how rational, they become a sellout.

The guys came from Tanzania all the way to Chifombo without knowing the purpose of their mission. They were newly trained itching for action. They thought they were going to Rhodesia, only to be told Badza atengesa and they had to mete instant death sentences.

I am just thinking, given this culture; if we had guns too in the progressive movements how many pple would we have been made to kill? When leadership disagrees, the pple are fed poison and unleashed to kill.

If we had guns as were these komredzi, Gwisai would have been eliminated way back in 2002 for questioning neo-imperial direction of the party.

I remember when MT and Job Sikhala fell out some time in early 2004 over the imposition of James Makore. MT said to me and others atengesa but when we met with those on Job's side we ended up resolving kuti tisatambiswa front. With how things were heated, what if we had guns?

We saw the same at the 2005 split and the violence that followed. I remember one of my friends' sister was caught in the crossfire and was abducted. We spent the whole day after that fateful senate vote looking for her. With the physical violence that followed, if we had guns.....

We currently have the opportunity to split and regroup after emotions have subsided because we don't have the means to kill each other.

In the past decade, I have seen the same happening. Every disagreement results in a heated split. Sometimes, facts are ignored and people are crucified.

Maybe it is a blessing that our struggle has no guns. How many of us would be alive today for simply disagreeing?

As I see former allies struggle to find a path forward to resist the mutilation of the constitution by ZANU PF, I wonder how much of it is just failure to understand that disagreement is not a death sentence.

Anyway, the bell that jingles is still on the neck of a live cow.
