If you receive a gift that is connected to your profession , your business , job or trade it becomes INCOME , therefore taxable - Income Tax Act [ Chapter 23:06]

The Recipient is liable for tax
Capital Gains Tax Act , Section 8(5) , if you donate an asset , eg , cars , stands , shares it is treated as if the donor sold it at market value , therefore the Donor is liable for Capital Gains Tax .
*** notes from my trial defense which may be useful to the Nation in the current season of Gifting . Who owes who, who is evading tax , the Donor or the Recipient ?
🔸Those bags can’t be the right bags in which to carry human bodies. This image tells us everything we need to know about the state of Zimbabwe’s emergency services. When we clamour for improved basic services, it is not because we hate you. It is because we want every Zimbabwean, including you, to be treated with dignity and respect, particularly when you are vulnerable and at the mercy of said basic services.
We need new leaders.🇿🇼
In Paediatric oncology we once lost 4 children in one night because of a lack of resources. Even after 2 years I remember their names. For 2 of them we could not find blood. The other one needed a chest drain she died while waiting for it. The last one needed a CT guided intervention. Blood was an issue because government owed a lot of money to NBSZ. No CT in the hospital.
For context all gifts given to Jah Prayzah could buy 10 CT machines and settle the arrears with NBSZ.
Death is far kinder than what they deserve.
When we were saying “Buy ambulances,” they told us, “You can’t tell people what to do with their money.” Now ambulances have to come all the way from Harare to rescue someone in fucking Marondera.
This is exactly why public services and emergency response infrastructure matter.
He spent his life teaching surgeons how to repair the aorta.
Then, at 97, his own aorta began to tear.
On New Year’s Eve 2005, Michael DeBakey was alone in his Houston study when a tearing pain ripped through his chest and into his back. He knew instantly what it was: an acute aortic dissection — the catastrophic condition he had classified, studied, and taught others to treat for decades.
At 97, he first refused surgery. He understood the odds. But his condition worsened. On February 9, 2006, after an ethics-committee debate and with his family pressing forward, surgeons opened his chest. They replaced the damaged segment of his aorta with a Dacron graft — the same kind of synthetic vessel he had pioneered in the 1950s.
There was a quiet full-circle detail in that graft. DeBakey had learned to sew from his mother. When department-store nylon ran out, he bought Dacron instead and stitched the first experimental tubes on his wife’s sewing machine.
Decades later, that material helped save his own life.
The operation lasted about seven hours. He survived. After a long recovery he returned to work, lectured, and wrote. In April 2008 he received the Congressional Gold Medal. He died on July 11, 2008, at 99 — weeks short of his 100th birthday.
He studied the disease. He built the tools. He trained the surgeons. Then he became the patient. The man who gave other people more time was given a little more time himself — and spent it in the hands of the people he had taught. ❤️
Six years ago, Joshua was one of many children surviving on the streets of Harare, with little hope for a better tomorrow. I could not look away.
At 14, he and other vulnerable children found refuge at my Children’s Home in Chiredzi, where we began rebuilding their lives through love, education, guidance and opportunity. With unwavering support, Joshua went on to pass 10 O-Levels and attain 14 points at A-Level.
Today, seeing Joshua head to India to pursue a Bachelor of Commerce fills me with immense joy. His journey reminds me why we must never give up on a child. Every child deserves love, care, education and an opportunity to rebuild their life. May his success inspire every child still dreaming of a better tomorrow.

The pain is immense, it will take time for this wound to heal.
But I also choose to hold on to all the good things, all matches we turned around by giving everything and moments that will remain in our memories forever.
I will always remember the support of an entire country that, together with the work and effort of this group, brought us back once again among the best teams in the world.
Today, it is difficult to appreciate what we achieved… but this group has really reached two consecutive World Cup finals.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every greeting and every message.
Once again, we managed to come together as a country and stand united, sharing the immense pride of being Argentine.
I also want to congratulate Spain on winning World Cup”. 🇪🇸
