We sent @gwleigh to Harare to fly Air Zimbabwe’s 737-200, but the president took it to Malawi until Saturday. Should he:

Shoutout to @PaynowZW for excellent, efficient customer service, helping me with purchase records going back to 2019.

[Graham van de Ruit @GrahamvdR]

@zimboguide Same here. I don't understand how customers think it's OK to message at 10 pm on a Saturday and expect a prompt response.

@sarahbellmaps Mountain biking. Exploring the world (especially mountains) and finding new and exciting ways to interpret the landscape in my own way.

In these desperate times, please be careful whose health advice you trust. Those in Zim can check the Doctors' Retention Register here: https://t.co/2Er0bR57ef If someone's not listed, are they trustworthy? What's their motive for dispensing advice or medication? #COVID19

@muzhunter @KonaBongani Maybe you fellas could help or refer?

@SimondeSwardt I've just discovered my wife has been watching this series. FOR THE SECOND TIME.

This is an insult. We ask for PPE, a safe and functional work environment and a liveable wage and this is the response. Absolutely disgusting. @KusoteraTM @drjaytee87

@Harare_Wetlands Hi. There's somebody building a structure in a wetland just off Drew Road. Any advice for how to verify its legality or who to report it to?

[Graham van de Ruit @GrahamvdR]

@snakeplanetZW @Zimparks Great, I look forward to visiting!

[Graham van de Ruit @GrahamvdR]

@snakeplanetZW Hi. Can you confirm this is a snouted cobra? What’s the easiest way to differentiate between that and the Mozambique spitting cobra?

[Graham van de Ruit @GrahamvdR]

@snakeplanetZW Thanks for your help. Is Snake Planet open yet? I’d love to come and have a closer look at these and some of our other species.

[Graham van de Ruit @GrahamvdR]

@snakeplanetZW Are they equally common in the Harare region? I’ve seen many over the years that I’ve thought were snouted cobras. Here’s another from a couple of years ago.

[Graham van de Ruit @GrahamvdR]

@snakeplanetZW Thank you. I guess if you see them together the differences are more obvious.

Today, we are very excited to launch a new weekly publication. It’s called The Continent, and it brings together the best of our reporting from journalists across Africa. It’s a little different.
