so recently on 2 December it was my birthday and i turned 22 but there’s something that has been bothering me a lot. Im at school and we are writing exams i get it hence it was gonna be hard for me to go out. Im disappointed because i thought my friend was going yo surprise me with a gift since we are very close together and l usually do most stuff for her with ease but she just wished me happy birthday and left it like that and i don’t feel okay anymore. It’s not like im desperate to that point my sister sent me a lot of money and on christmas i will be going to Zanzibar but that’s the only fact that bothers me that my close friend did nothing for me. Im i wrong for feeling this way ? and what can i do to feel better

Im not really a fan of this guy Wicknell but i just like the fact that ever since he went on a car buying spree, no one and i mean no one is still talking about Passion Java as he was just the most annoying person in Zim pretending to have money that he doesn't and will never have🤣

Haven't played in a long minute and hit with the urge to start a new world but as any minecraft player knows, the world gets lonely after a bit so trynna find a crew for multi-player.

Starting ACCA soon and I have absolutely no idea what institution to enroll with. Thanks in advance!

you still live with your parents, you don't have at least 3.5k in your savings, you don't have a car, you don't own a property or a tangible plan to buy one, you are single, you don't even have a situationship going on.....I have news for you buddy.....takafanana, handitorinawo chinhu🤣🤣🤣

I want to recommend user testing jobs for students and anyone else in need of extra income in countries outside Africa, I have personally used these sites and earned about $700/month investing about 5hrs per day, most of the tasks take about 20 - 30 mins to complete. You'll have to open a payoneer and PayPal account to receive payments, this is as easy as signing up

1. Utest which is also applause, on this site you'll need about 3 weeks of onboarding where you learn about UI&UX testing, their requirements and things you need to know about the site, there's about 12 modules and a small test after each module, upon completion you'll get a rating and start getting job/task invites, you'll have to apply for some tasks that they post on their wall sometimes. The average payout is about $10 per task and they pay on the 15'th and 30'th day of each month except for when it falls on a Sunday. This was my favorite because it's very user friendly and the Team leads offer a lot of support.

2. Testpoint, for this one the onboarding only takes a few hours with one test which they'll give you an initial rating on after completion. You'll start getting invites to which you have to accept on a first come first serve basis. They have fewer tasks, about one task every two or three days. Tasks payout approximately $10/task, you can cash out anytime with minimum of $10 withdrawal.

3. Testbirds, onboarding takes a few days, after which you get a rating and jobs invites. Tasks payout start from $5 and range even up to $100, but they're fewer. You can withdraw at the end of the month only, with no minimum payout.

4. Usertesting, for this one most of the tests require you to speak out loud as you review a website or application, so you need to have a good accent and be good at describing things in detail and depth. Unfortunately I didn't qualify for this with my Zimbo accent kkkk. But the payout per task starts from $10

Protip to earn more you need more devices in the user testing area, for example two android phones with the latest version then an older phone with the older Os, an iPhone, a pc running Windows, if you can get any tablet, a smart watch. Basically the more devices you have the more you can earn. I'd advise getting more devices from your payout monies. I used to use an exchange platform called paxful to then transfer my money to my local wallet, but I then later got my payoneer Mastercard which I used to withdraw cash from the ATM.

Don't get hungry or kupinda muna taisireva out there. Utilize these, especially utest, the higher your rating the more valuable job invites get. Look up r/beermoney for more. Unfortunately these site don't really work in Zimbabwe or offer task for Zim location :-(

I need yalls help.

I'm looking for someone with a big (huge) yard whose space I can pay for and use for events. Its not groove, and maximum attendance will be around 40 per event. I can't disclose the nature pamhene so if you are in Harare and you have a big yard and you're interested in potentially working with me, please comment and I'll contact you.

Is that man giving away cars damn near every week just because he can or because he's laundering money?

What would you do if you got 300000usd in zim bank account either by seeing bank account balance suddenly changed to 3 million or getting a text that your account has been credited with 3000000usd and yet you don't know where it came from will the bank sue you or get you arrested and will ecocash do the Same if it happened in ecocash account

Hello everyone, I wanted to start a conversation about how we perceive the value of money in Zimbabwe. For instance, if you were to lose 2 dollars—whether by misplacing it, theft, or accidentally damaging it—would it significantly affect your mood or day? Or do we only start feeling the impact when we lose amounts like 5 dollars and above?

I’m curious to hear your experiences and thoughts. How do smaller amounts of money affect your day-to-day life, and where do you personally draw the line for what feels “significant”? Let’s share our perspectives!

I’d like to ask a nuanced question about the current socio-economic state of Zimbabwe.

1. Crisis Scale: If we were to rank the economic and social crisis in Zimbabwe on a scale from 1 to 100—where 100 reflects the severity of the 2008 financial crisis—how dire are conditions at present? What key indicators would you use to measure this?

2. Comparative Poverty: In South Africa, despite its relatively better economic standing compared to Zimbabwe, poverty rates stand at 50%, with 40% of the population living in extreme poverty. Where would Zimbabwe fit on this spectrum? What are the comparative poverty and extreme poverty rates?

3. ‘Tsaona’ Food Portions: In the high-density suburbs of Zimbabwe, there’s a term, ‘tsaona’, describing small, single-day food portions that people purchase daily due to financial constraints. What percentage of Zimbabweans, particularly in high-density areas, rely on such precarious food arrangements for survival?

I've noticed that the most popular martial art in Zim is karate. But Jujutsu is becoming more popular worldwide and is more appealing to me. My question is , is there anywhere in Harare and Zim where someone can learn Jujutsu or even Judo? 🥋

That's a fact needs no explanation

Anybody here who orders or ordered stuff from SHEIN via SA? How do you go about it?

I am just sitting here wondering what will varoyi do if and when burning bodies becomes more mainstream in Zim or Africa I would assume at some point burial plots are going to become more and more expensive so will they intercept corpses at mortuaries or what

... black girl (bro is a blackity-black-black Zimbabwean). Listen, I'm a cat eater through and through. I can't get enough of the stuff but I'm not gonna shame people who aren't into it. That's fine, everybody's got their thing (except for people who'll receive oral but never give it, but that's a different rant).

But to look me in the eye and tell me if it was a white girl or an Asian girl you'd eat the cat but the moment she's black or god forbid Zimbabwean now it's disgusting. What I'm tryna say here is internalised racism is a thing.

Gladiator 2 is basically Training Day...but with swords

I saw a post for men and thought i would ask for women. I really want to look more feminine and feel cutesy. Any advice? I dont like makeup and wigs at all. Anyway I can look good without it. If you know a place in Harare where your recommendations is sold please pin. Especially perfume, ndanxwa nekutemga inoita 30 minutes yopera muto.

Hie guys just wanted to find out are side businesses really working out well for formally employed folk here in Zim. Is anyone really growing side business to the point of leaving formal employment?

Long post: I’ve been losing sleep for months now over an idea for a business in Zimbabwe. I’m quite young still and I’ve done an incredible amount of leg work and connected myself to other big players in the industry through networking, sheer determination. I’ve impressed myself with what I’ve been able to do with just my ambitions and I truly believe in the potential of this idea. I crafted it such that it is something that could grow even outside of Zimbabwe which I think is necessary. As much as my passion for this idea is huge I also have been contemplating deeply that any business idea that’s worth it needs to have the ability to move past our borders for sustainability. If it was possible for me I would start the idea outside of Zim but that’s not practically feasible for me at the moment so I have to start at home base which is difficult but in the long run could offer me a tenacity that’s unique if I ever decide to scale beyond.

Before I do commit however I’d like to seek public opinion on a few issues

1. How much does a dollar really cost in Zimbabwe ? Part of the idea is a product for consumers to buy. I would say it’s something that can be considered as not a necessity but it’s big business world wide. For example eating at a restaurant. Should I be concerned that the majority won’t spend $2 on a cheese steak for example as it’s not a necessity ? This has been raised to me that most people are frugal but when I look at Harare I see crazy things like a sushi businesses… how tf do they make a profit ? Could I not target that market that seems to have some disposable income ?Is it a dependable market ?

2. Cost of business in Zimbabwe is bananas. I would need to rent a location close to a market with fairly disposable income I guess , the lowest rental I’ve seen is $800, is everyone else paying $800?! According to my math it could be covered as I scale the business but it seems counter productive.

3. When do I register. I’m fairly risk averse and have nerves about committing not to my business but to Zimbabwe. My perception is that there is a lot of red tape and bureaucracy which might hurt people’s businesses before other factors like losing passion or mismanagement or whatever. Am I misinformed here ? Is it worth it to register fully in the earliest stages?

4.I’m quite educated and have a back up plan but I really want to do this project simply because I want to as a young person (30) with low financial commitments

5. I want my business to be worth it , this means I want to have proper branding, formality, in order to grow properly so it actually builds good capital not as a hand to mouth type of endeavour. Is this feasible or are we really stuck in informal economy, hustling type of environment ? In which case I would not pursue business as I would have better outcomes just working…

I suppose the crux is, is Zimbabwe the type of environment where businesses and start ups and can be formed and thrive ? As other people in other countries try and succeed or try and fail are the odds similar in Zimbabwe or do they lean towards failure due to economic environment.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been feeling pretty burnt out living in Zimbabwe lately. The constant lectures from friends and family are exhausting, and I find myself daydreaming about moving to a country where everything seems to work more smoothly.

I’m tired of the daily struggles, and I just want a fresh start somewhere that feels normal and functional. Has anyone else been in this situation? How did you handle it? Any advice on choosing a new country or tips for making the big move?

Thanks in advance!

So I commute to work everyday using combies and there I'd a worrying trend iv noticed. 9 of the 11 combies I have used the last 2 weeks did not have a working dashboard. I mean dash yese yakatodxima , no speedometer, no fuel Guage nothing . These guys are literally just guessing what speeds they are traveling at guys . Zimbabwe tikutongochengetwa na Mwari

Women in Zimbabwe automatically think that if you are a sugar daddy/ if you have money you automatically have aids. I swear they'd rather be with a broke guy than a well off guy. The self sabotage and the struggle mentality is unreal.
