Good morning 5am club. Never re-friend a person that has tried to destroy your character, your money or your relationship. A snake only sheds its skin to become a bigger snake.🌷

We didn’t dream this. You gave off that same vibe. Loveable!
We love you. We will miss you so much. Vita ka? Till we meet again cousin. Till we meet again 🕊️

Mosquitoes have a pallet, just watched it land on me and not bite.
These ones clearly subscribe to an asian pallet.
Do the african mosquitoes have pallet?
The great outdoors today with @SeeffZimbabwe both on the track and a brilliant water point for the 3000k+ who came out to run for the Nyaradzo Group. It was great seeing many familiar faces and wonderful to have a moment to catch up with Sahwira Mukuru wacho Philip Mataranyika.
Africa’s compute will come from its entrepreneurs. Speaking at the Global AI Summit on Africa today, our Founder and Executive Chairman, Strive Masiyiwa, detailed how our AI Factory will set the stage for entrepreneurs and developers to step forward and grow Africa's AI ecosystem
He explained that “The future comes from young people building apps and solutions, small businesses every day across this continent using AI. They are the digital natives, and we just have to give them the ability to do what they do best.”
Strive is doing some mad things on this continent.
Normalize doing things first, even if you are shooting in the dark.
First movers advantage is such a real thing.
The elite’s favourite businessman was Roger Boka, a Harare tycoon who launched his own bank and handed out millions in loans to prominent politicians and businessmen. In 1995, against the advice of its own banking regulators, the government awarded Boka a banking licence and helped to get his United Merchant Bank off the ground, channelling government business his way, including a deal to issue debt on behalf of the state-owned Cold Storage Company. Boka’s style became increasingly flamboyant. He often moved around in a motorcade and liked to distribute $100 notes liberally.
Boka then set his sights on building what he described as the biggest tobacco auction floors in the world, once the preserve of white business. The floors opened in 1997, and in March 1998 Boka offered 40 percent of the shares to the public. His business associates hailed him as “an economic hero.” The “Boka Tobacco Revolution,” as it was called, was said to mark “the Genesis of Zimbabwe’s economic jihad.” Six weeks later, his empire collapsed overnight. In April 1998 the United Merchant Bank had its licence revoked after it was discovered that the bank could no longer meet depositors’ claims and that its liquidity ratio was too low to meet debt obligations and other liabilities.
Upon investigation, Boka was found to have issued fraudulent Cold Storage Company bills to the value of Z $945 million (about US $50 million). He had also siphoned off nearly US $21 million of depositors’ funds to his offshore accounts. The scale of the fraud threatened to cause the collapse of other financial institutions, which faced huge losses, forcing the government to step in with a rescue package.
