@shawtyzw1 I do not think there is anything wrong with it as it gives you an opportunity to grow, learn responsibility and independence. Only when the independence is abused does it become a problem.
@freemanchari This is where toxic in-laws come from. While it’s good and important for children to take care of their parents , the bible says a wise man leaves an inheritance for their children’s children.
DEAR AFRICANS, A FRAGMENTED AFRICA WILL NEVER MAKE IT! COLONIALLY CREATED BANTUSTANS WON'T MAKE IT!
I recently saw a young man on TikTok announcing that he has "built the Twitter of South Africa". In these Twitter streets, I have seen an aspiring Bank Owner claim she stands with Operation Dudula.
This got me thing: While the US is a 360 Million strong market, Russia at 200 Million, Indonesia at 280 million, the EU is 700 Million strong, India is 1.5 Billion, China at 1.4 Billion, , etc,
Here are Africans deluding ourselves that we will ever make it by boxing ourselves inside colonial borders.
Like, why would anyone ignore the nearly 2 Billion People African market and box themselves inside colonial borders?
I mean, making money is an interplay between production and consumption. Why on earth are we so determined to defend colonial borders, which our colonisers themselves care nothing about?
But that's not all, besides taking advantage of the potential of this vast market, without common policies to control our resources, trade policies, educational and industrial standards and policies, we literally going nowhere.
Divided into these current Bantustans we call countries, some with populations as low as 2 million, we will forever remain insignificant and inconsequential.
We will never be able to leverage economies of scale in strategic sectors like Energy, Telecommunications, Nuclear Power/Defence, Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Space, etc.
And with 54 competing jurisdictions, not only will we always be played against one another, but our languages remain fragment into multiple countries and unusable in Education, ensuring we remain undereducated, unskilled, unproductive and poor!
🔸Dear Zimbabweans,
Sakhile Dube is our fighter at Miss Universe which will be held tonight.
In addition to being talented, strikingly beautiful and poised, Sakhile Dube has a powerful personal story. In this short clip, she gives us a small window into it. If we needed another reason to get behind her bid to win Miss Universe, here it is. #GoSakhileGo🔥
#TeamZimbabwe🇿🇼
We would like to wish our African sister queens all the very best for their journeys ahead. When one of us shines we all do.
Botswana 🇧🇼 & Namibia 🇳🇦

I collect beers whenever I visit a new place. I wonder why we have Heineken and Stella Artois in our fridges, but we do not have Primus or other African beers.
I keep asking the same question: Why can’t Africa unite, as Bob Marley urged, so that it can prosper?
Africa has a population of 1.4 billion people, yet we are failing to market and sell African products to each other.
We end up drinking Belgian beer in Africa, while our continent is home to some of the best beers in the world.
I hope that the African Continental Free Trade Agreement based in Ghana will aim to create a single market for goods and services across the continent.
Hopefully, these efforts will help make African products more widely available to Africans and promote economic growth within the continent.
If Malawi, for example, focuses on growing groundnuts for 1.4 billion Africans, it will become a relatively wealthy country because it would have a captive market for its groundnuts.
These things are so easy to achieve, but our leaders fail to understand, preferring instead to control their little fiefdoms.
I am thinking of getting a license to distribute beers like Primus in Southern Africa.
Would you prefer to drink an African beer over a European one?
I am aware of my profile as an African journalist, that is why I always promote all things African by consuming them publicly and making them my friend choice, that is what the Chinese do, look at how successful they have become.
As of 2024, China’s population is approximately 1.41 billion people.
As of 2024, Africa’s population is also approximately 1.4 billion people.
This number continues to grow rapidly, making it one of the fastest-growing populations in the world.
Why can’t we if others are doing it? Unify or die!
In @Oprah’s last televised interview with Tina Turner in 2013 she asked her about her legacy and her will to endure. “My legacy is being a person that strived for wanting it better, and got it!” #RIPTinaTurner
