@Shadaya_Knight I have resorted to being a minimalist. I keep what I wear regularly.
Gone are the days when I kept clothes for quantity and not for necessity.

If Zimbabwe was being run like China, Mnangagwa would never have been president; he would have been executed for corruption while he was still a minister.

In China they put corrupt ministers on death row. In Zimbabwe you can actually die for trying to be an upright minister.

@KudaMuku In the UK you dont buy your own hospital gear to get operated on. Ambulances save lives, police secure neighbourhoods, there is clean water coming out of the taps.

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly."

The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal.

When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience."

Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable.

When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates.

I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped.

The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault."

I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology."

Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident.

Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize."

I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time."

They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again."

I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.

A lion can stand three feet from your face on a safari and not even register that you exist. To its brain, you and the jeep are the same animal. One big weird shape that doesn't smell like food. Stand up though, and you go from invisible to dinner in under a second.

For the lion, you and the other tourists never register as separate people. The whole jeep looks like one giant creature made of metal and fabric and humans all smushed together. That shape has no scent of any prey animal, and it moves nothing like one. The brain searches its mental file of every animal it's ever hunted, finds no match, and moves on.

Lions learn this from their mothers. In places like the Serengeti or Maasai Mara, they see more than 100 of these jeeps a day. Cubs grow up watching mom ignore every truck. They copy what mom does. After a few generations, an entire population of lions has decided that safari vehicles are boring background noise, no different from trees or rocks.

Hunting is expensive. A lion that picks the wrong target won't have enough energy left to catch the right one tomorrow. So when the brain sees a weird shape that doesn't fit anything in its hunting memory, it just skips it.

But the whole truce hangs on one rule. The shape has to stay the same. The second someone stands up or leans out the window, the big creature breaks apart. Suddenly there's a person-sized snack standing where a big boring shape used to be. The lion's brain registers the change in under a second.

In June 2015, a 29-year-old American filmmaker rolled down her window at a park near Johannesburg to take a photo. A lioness was already a meter from the truck, just watching. It lunged through the open window and bit her in the neck. She died at the scene.

Ten years later, in September 2025, a zookeeper at Safari World in Bangkok stepped out of his vehicle in the lion section. One lion charged. The rest of the pride joined within seconds. The park had run these tours for over 40 years and nobody had ever died like that.

Craig Packer has spent over 40 years studying lions and started the world's first lion research center back in 1986. He's said it plainly more than once. Lions don't have much patience for humans acting weird. Sit still and you're part of the furniture; move suddenly and you're a target.

The truce works because every lion in those parks grew up watching its mom ignore the trucks. Break the pattern, and the whole thing falls apart in about as long as it takes to stand up.

Zimbabweans are NEVER going to leave countries like South Africa until:

- The ANC stops endorsing ZANU PF. Thabo Mbeki is referenced a lot.
- Border control stops taking bribes to let Zimbos through.
- A serious border fence is built & monitored.
- Home Affairs officials stop dragging their feet regarding permits (this is how they get bribes).
- South Africans, especially White SAns, stop hiring them & buying from them.
- The world supports Zimbabweans militarily to overthrow ZANU PF, like they've done in other nations.
- SADC leaders stop lying about the situation in Zimbabwe.

Zimbabweans are petrified of ZANU PF & no-one is willing to help them overthrow their corrupt govt, which they say rigs elections.

For that reason, they will not leave & SAns can do whatever they want, but until SAns are willing to help them with ZANU PF or until the South African govt becomes as hostile as ZANU PF, nothing will change.

This is a summary from many of the Zimbos I received in my DMs. 8 out of every 10 msgs were from Zimbabweans.

With that said, many of them are in South Africa legally, they have ZEPs, they have study permits, they have work permits, they are temporary tourists.

Many of them love South Africa & South Africans, and are grateful for the country that we have, & are envious of the freedom of speech we enjoy here.

Note: Many politically-connected ppl in SA own mines & other businesses in Zim. Zimbabwe imports a lot of goods from SA, which boosts the SA economy.

The bottom line: Many Zimbabweans believe that ZANU PF is the problem, & the reason why they are in SA. The ANC leadership supports & defends ZANU PF, instead of holding it accountable. Ramaphosa is willing to take Israel to the ICJ, but not Zimbabwe for human rights violations.

End.
