This beautiful video is not AI, it happened in Zimbabwe’s Victoria Falls, a place that remains a must-visit for all humanity, if finances permit.
Only in Zimbabwe can you have a front row seat in your hotel and watch nature come to you. This is what we mean when we say Zimbabwe is the best place to visit in Africa if you want to see and marvel at wildlife blending with flora and fauna, and at times passing by to say hello.
Victoria Falls is one of the few places on earth where the line between luxury and wilderness is beautifully blurred. You can sleep in a comfortable and secure bed, enjoy world class hospitality, and still wake up to the possibility that Africa, in all its raw and untamed glory, might wander past reception. It is not chaos at all, it is African authenticity.
If you want something real, something unforgettable, something that will leave you with stories no one else can tell, then this is exactly where you need to be, beautiful Zimbabwe.
Change is inevitable.The only question is —
are you adapting, or getting left behind?
If you don’t evolve your thinking, your sound, your strategy you become irrelevant without even realizing it.

Three years ago, I was entrusted with a rare and important library collection, once owned by Ian Smith, the last colonial prime minister of Rhodesia.
At first I was excited and thought I should donate it to a local university, I called a cabinet minister to ask how I could do this. Fortunately or unfortunately, he advised me to move the library out of Zimbabwe, warning that it would be seized not benefit an institution.
I managed to secure the entire collection in London, where it is safely stored. I do not consider myself its owner, but merely its custodian. In my will, I have stipulated that at the right time this library will be donated to Midlands State University, because Ian Smith came from Shurugwi in the Midlands.
The books have been an eye-opening journey into the mindset of Rhodesia’s last leader. His shelves are filled with economics, trade, and international relations—unsurprising, given his degree in economics from Rhodes University.
But there are also volumes on communism and socialism, which he clearly studied to understand what he saw as the enemy; Zanla and Zipra, the liberation movements. Sanctions-busting literature dominates another part of the library, reflecting his attempt to navigate the crushing trade embargo imposed in 1965, which devastated the Rhodesian economy despite his public pretence. He names people who were doing things for the regime
The collection also reveals Smith’s close ties to British political elites. Among the volumes are books from the Churchill family, including one signed personally by Winston Churchill, and from that time’s famous journalists who were closest admirers. There are works on African culture and traditions, where he engages deeply with the country he ruled.
He admired certain African traditional leaders, particularly Chief Chirau, whom he references several times in his notes. He also acknowledged, in private, the sharp intellect of Robert Mugabe and the statesmanship of Joshua Nkomo; even though he publicly dismissed them as terrorists.
Beyond politics, the library reflects Smith’s other passions. There are books on art, British architecture and an extensive collection on military history, particularly air forces, fitting for a man who was both a soldier and a pilot during the Second World War.
One striking observation is his detailed recognition of how powerful the South African Air Force became when it combined with the British during the Second World War engineered by General Jan Smuts.
He also writes notes about his views on how he felt let him down by the South African apartheid regime.
He also reads about Islam, there are four books on Islamic culture, religion and how it underpins the politics of the Middle East.
This collection is a window into history, the mind of a man who shaped a colonial state, his fears, his fascinations, his prejudices, and his unexpected respects.
It is an archive of contradictions, and when the time is right, it will belong to Midlands State University, rooted in the very soil of Smith’s birthplace, Shurugwi.
