A Ndebele woman. Every child deserves education. Children learn more through play, fact! My chn think I’m best mum- that's all that matters!!

The 0% pass rate in some Bubi schools and in Matabelaland in general might be linked to the issue of language barrier for learners . Has the Ministry considered finding out what might be causing this failure rate in Primary Schools in Matabeleland ?

[CITE @citezw]

Research says that young children should be taught in their mother tongue to develop their critical thinking skills and creativity skills. However it has been this situation in Matabeleland since I was a teacher for over 20 years. @sonke114

COOKING FOR THE BRITISH AMBASSADOR TO ZIMBABWE 🇿🇼🇬🇧

It was a distinct honour to host the British Ambassador to Zimbabwe and representatives from the British Council at the Amagugu International Heritage Centre. Through the lens of Magriza Made Me Cook, we used the plate as a bridge to explore the deep history and symbolism of the Ndebele people.

On the Menu:

- Isitshwala Sophoko (Finger Millet) & Samabele (Sorghum)

- Isiswayi Semvu (Traditional Pounded Mutton)

- Inkukhu Makhaya (Roadrunner Chicken)

- Umfushwa Wendumba (Dried Cowpea leaves)

- Amasi Omcaba (Sorghum + Fermented Milk)

Beyond the flavours, my brothers Arnold Mayibongwe Nkala and Alington Ndlovu shared the story of the Great Migration—tracing our journey from Zululand to present day Zimbabwe.

When we share our food, we share our identity.

How Apartheid Made White South Africans Rich

According to the South African Human Rights Commission, 64% of Black South Africans live in poverty, compared to just 1% of White South Africans. This is not a coincidence—it is the enduring outcome of apartheid.

Yesterday I rode down to the Umzingwane river from @CityofBulawayo. In the course of the ride I was able to inspect the state of some of the Umzingwane’s tributaries and the river itself.

The good news, as shown by the attached video and pictures, is that the Umzingwane itself has been in flood and is still flowing strongly. The bad news is that I witnessed illegal gold mining in virtually every tributary, and very few tributaries were actually flowing. In all the pools in tributaries the water is exceptionally muddy, a sign of massive erosion upstream. The attached photos show tributaries not flowing and some of these discolored pools. After so much rain these tributaries should still have been flowing but they weren’t.

To explain the significance of this I need to emphasize that the catchment has had at least 600mm of rain this season so far and last week alone had over 100 mms of rain - and yet the bulk of the tributaries weren’t flowing yesterday. Despite all the rain we have had Umzingwane as at the 21st January is only at 30,1 % full.

In contrast Mshabezi dam is 100% full and yet its catchment area is very close to Umzingwane’s. The difference is that whereas Mshabezi’s catchment is mainly in the north eastern Matopos and has hardly any gold mining, Umzingwane’s catchment has been utterly devastated by illegal mining.

Towards the end of 2024 Government banned alluvial mining in river courses. Yesterday I saw numerous miners hard at it. As stated above nearly every tributary of the Umzingwane has evidence of mining taking place. There are large camps of illegal miners. Despite this I didn’t see a single EMA or ZRP patrol. These miners are continuing their illegal work with impunity.

The consequences for our City are devastating. Government needs to bring this existential threat to an end immediately otherwise Bulawayo’s water crisis will continue, indeed worsen. We are fortunate this year to have had a good rains which have put some water in our dams. In a drought year there will be almost no inflow. So this illegal mining must be brought to an end immediately.

Mtshabezi in Matabeleland South—45 years after independence, people are still relying on colonial-era bridges, while public money is squandered on luxury vehicles instead of essential infrastructure like bridges.
This is not just about misplaced priorities; it reflects something far more disturbing,sheer satanism in governance.
The priorities of this government are deeply warped. @RUMBIEPROPERTIE @ksaruwaka @LynneStactia @ali_naka @nelsonchamisa @Hon_Kasukuwere

A culinary link exists between Eswatini & Zimbabwe through a single dish: steamed maize bread. In Eswatini, it is known as Isinkwa Sombila. The identical preparation found in Zimbabwe is called Isinkwa Somfahlwa/Somfahla. This staple is best served with Emasi/Amasi (curdled milk)

Herein lies the root of Africa’s problems. The #AU needs a major overhaul so that it becomes fit for purpose.

I would like to express my gratitude to all the peace-loving, freedom-loving patriots and pan-Africanists who rallied around the world on Wednesday April 30, 2025 to support our commitment and our vision for a new Burkina Faso and a new Africa, free from imperialism and neo-colonialism.

Your active solidarity and this demonstration of sympathy strenghtens our conviction that the fight we are waging for a fairer and more equitable world is justified.

We will never bend our backs in the face of adversity; we will stand firm until our peoples are truly emancipated. With you, we are certain that victory over the forces of evil is at hand.

Together, in solidarity, we will defeat imperialism and neo-colonialism for a free, dignified and sovereign Africa.
