Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.
As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.
Go Knicks.
#dandaroappreciation Our #MCM today is Dr. Allan Ngulube, a Zimbabwean consultant general surgeon whose journey from humble beginnings in Gweru to becoming one of the country's most respected medical professionals is a story of dedication, excellence and service.
After studying medicine at the University of Zimbabwe and advancing his surgical training, Dr. Ngulube joined Mpilo Central Hospital in Bulawayo, where he built a reputation for tackling complex cases while helping train the next generation of doctors through his work as a lecturer.
His impact extends far beyond the operating theatre. Following specialised training in South Korea, Dr. Ngulube played a key role in establishing and expanding endoscopy services at Mpilo by restoring donated equipment that had been left unusable, bringing life-saving procedures closer to thousands of Zimbabweans.
His innovation, leadership and commitment to public healthcare earned him the prestigious Avison Global Leadership Award in 2023, making him a fitting choi

I wouldn’t usually post a thread all about one decision in a 90 minute game of football, but today’s was so significant, and so outrageous, it has to be highlighted and discussed.
This week the paediatric surgeons at Parirenyatwa helped a little patients with cancer in BOTH kidneys. Wilms tumor is one of the commonest cancers in children and usually affects one kidney. Paediatric surgeons, Dr Muparadzi and Dr Moyo led a team of specialists who managed to perform a nephron sparing operation on one kidney and a radical nephrectomy on the other kidney. This highly specialized operation, the first of its kind at Parirenyatwa Hospital, ensures that the child is free from cancer but still has enough normal kidney tissue to be able to survive without requiring dialysis. Although cancer is a devastating diagnosis for any family, with the proper care, children are able to recover and be cured. Hats off to the surgeons, anaesthetists and nursing staff at Parirenyatwa. And thank you to our friends, @KidsOperating for equipping the children's theatre at Parirenyatwa. Lives are being saved in this theatre.
On the first day of my medical house job in 1991, the registrar said to me: "You will quickly start to think you're irreplaceable. You're not. Remember that. If you get hit by a bus tomorrow, the consultant will look round and say 'Didn't we used to have a house officer? Get me another one!'"
He taught us well Pa UBH .
Housed a lot of Doctors in his houses 🏘️
Mentored a lot of young Drs and always told us it was possible because he did it !
What a giant he was. Medically and financially astute!
Rest in peace Boss G !
The medical fraternity will miss you 😢
Your patients will miss you ! 🥹
The end of an era .
I have received with deep sorrow and a heavy heart the tragic news of the passing of Mrs Lilian Mujuru and her five beloved children, Nokutenda, Makanaka, Ronald Junior, Rufaro Shalom and little Kayden, who lost their lives in a fatal road traffic accident along Masvingo Road near Mvuma.
This is a painful loss beyond words a heartbreaking tragedy that has robbed one family of six precious lives in a single moment.
As a mother, grandmother, I am deeply moved by the sorrow that has befallen the Mujuru family, and I extend my sincere condolences to Mr Ronald Mujuru, the bereaved husband and father, as well as to the extended family, friends and the church community.
I am imagining the anguish and emptiness that this tragedy has left behind. May the Almighty God grant Mr Mujuru strength and comfort during this unimaginably difficult time, and may the nation stand with him in prayer, compassion and solidarity.
I also urge all road users to exercise the utmost caution and responsibility on our roads so that we may prevent such devastating tragedies that continue to claim innocent lives and leave families shattered. May the souls of departed rest in eternal peace.
There is something profoundly reassuring about the friendship between Ghana and Zimbabwe. It has endured the test of time, it has adapted to changing circumstances, and remains anchored in the mutual respect and trust that exist between us.
We celebrated that friendship when I hosted President Emmerson Mnangagwa to a state banquet last night.

Driving the same car for over 10 years is normal.
Using the same phone until it breaks and packs up is normal.
Taking food to work everyday is absolutely normal.
Repeating the same clothes and shoes is very normal.
Saying no to things you can't afford is very normal.
Be normal.
There is something about a leader that makes a man stand out from the crowd. Not the noise. Not the spotlight. Not the results alone.
It’s presence. It’s responsibility.
Sikandar Raza is exactly that. 🇿🇼
Mbeumo: Ruben Amorim changed Manchester United.
Cunha: Amorim made us play this way.
Bruno Fernandes: Amorim improved us a lot in ball retention.
Pep: Amorim was this close if only he had beaten Wolves, Burnley and Everton, he would be competing with Arsenal.
I’ve watched and played football for so many years, so when I speak on certain things, I know I’m 90% correct.
Amorim did a lot for this team not even to mention how teams used to play us off the pitch in possession. It was so bad to watch us play.
We couldn’t even keep the ball for 30 seconds back then. The discipline he showed to these players no more player power.
He managed to sell so many deadwood players and could have done even more.
And now Carrick is just handling the easier footballing part.
