I’m trying to confirm something. In Shona slang why does tsaptsarapu mean if it means something?

I’ll explain later

So I grew up in Zimbabwe up until I finished my a level. In Form 5 I saw this girl let’s call her Maria . I had a terrible crush on her but I was dating someone at that time so I never approached Maria because I didn’t want to cheat my girlfriend at that moment. Things then didn’t work out after I found out that my girlfriend was cheating and we broke up with my girlfriend just after form six. I then met Maria again and had a conversation and exchanged contacts while waiting for our a level results. We started talking and she confessed that she had a terrible crush on me just like I did but she afraid to show her feelings and thought it would be inappropriate for a girl to tell a boy how much she likes him. I told her that is was afraid to approach her because I thought she was a way above my league . I then found out that I was her first boyfriend, she told me she always thought I was cool , she told me how she used to fantasize at school and imagine how cool it would be to date a guy like me coz I was kinda reserved and I had rumors that other girls crushed on me because I had no friend and always minded my business so everyone admired how smart, and mature I looked. I’m not that cute but I carry my self in a unique style than other guys of my age and I have a personality that makes everyone thinks that I’m cool .

So I dated this peng girl (Maria) for about 3 months then I left Zim and came to USA. I got too busy here, and time differences affected our communication . She then started to get insecure, she threatened me saying she thought I no longer had feelings for her, she thought I was now into white women.She said I no longer had time for her. She went on and told me that she couldn’t afford being in a long distance relationship anymore. I tried to explain to her that I was still new to this country, trying to get settled and always busy with school work and I was sure things would be stable in a few months but she said it was over. She then blocked after she told me that I had used her. I tried to explain, I tried to make her calm down but she was bitter and didn’t want to talk to me anymore. She would put profile pictures and statuses online to show me that she had found someone closer her and tried to make me feel jealous . I then ghosted her too.

Now after 3yrs I was focusing on my books, partying hard but not interested in dating or any kind of relationship .one actually be celibate since I came from Zim. Yesterday she sent me these messages out of nowhere after three years of no contact. I even changed my number a year ago and didn’t update her , now in confused how she got my new number . I feel like she has been stalking me for all the years.

If you treat your girl like a queen and you get her everything she needs. If you spend time with her whenever you can. If you have keep your relationship peaceful with no fights. If you have already decided that this is the girl you want for the rest of your life.

Get ready to cry.

Because women hate all that shit.

One day while getting ready to see her, she will just text you "We are done. Dont come to my house or my workplace again"

Then she will block you on everything without further explaination when you ask her what's going on. She will stop picking your calls.

On top of being heart broken, you are confused. And now you are struggling to focus at work and sleep. You spend all your time wondering if she ever loved you in the first place.

Zviriko here izvi?

I posted a job on freelancer.com that I thought would cost me a minimum of $2000. I post the job and I start getting offers as low as $150 from Pakistanis. I actually thought the offers came from incompetent people so I accepted a $200 offer just to see how it goes. The guy delivered in less than a week, what I thought would take 2 weeks.

It got me thinking, if a decent Rust developer like that is willing to go as low as $5/hr, how low can the prices go? The funny thing is we had consulted CVPeople for local devs at $50/hr and they couldn't find us local talent.

Over the last few days we have seen the solutions proposed to revive the economy by Mthuli Ncube, however, the public is not really in support as the solutions are largely regarded as destructive. What are some more suitable and logical solutions that can be used to revive this economy.

As it stands businesses are closing down, the masses are being taxed heavily, healthcare is down, social services are low quality, education is poor as well and cost of living is rising despite salaries being stagnant for the last 12 years.

Good afternoon

I hope you guys are well.

I’m planning to drive to Nyanga and get to see Mutarazi falls.

Are there any places to rent a car for a few hours or for the day?

According to my research they recommend high clearance vehicles.

Thanks

In university, I used to carry around a huge ass bag with my stuff in it. People thought I had a sniper in it 😭🤣🤣🤣

So I’m not in Zim, I’m in a European country and I (M26) met these other two young ladies from Zim (both 27) and we started talking about relationships and then they talked about how men this side don’t cat call or approach them unsolicited. They even said they miss it.

Honestly that was the first time I’ve heard such a statement especially from ladies of my age group. I grew up thinking it was wrong lol. I remember As a kid taking kombis with my aunts/female cousins and they would always complain about it, so I automatically thought it was universally hated. Also the girls I grew up with vaikudira mbama if you tried something like that. But no actually, some people like it apparently.

Just for discussion,I wanna knw why guys dnt end up marrying the hunnies they lust for on a higher level,ma bad baddies chaiwo.Shouldn't that lust desire fuel a need for a long term partnership

I'm curious what are the laws regarding home intruders? There's been a rise in home invasions in my neighborhood, and wanted to know how far can we take the law into OUR own hands if we catch these guys on our property? Also what happens in the case of mob justice, 4 houses have been broken into this past week and people are angry...

My father has been talking about purchasing a gun and it has got me thinking

Some eye opening advice/experience would be lovely.

I have seen great evil in this country. Looting and stealing. I have seen tears and heard cries from all sectors of society. The suffering is real. I have also witnessed those suffering advocating for thieves praising them giving them a platform. Wicknell car was about to be clamped but a Mob yesterday stopped the council official from doing his duty throwing threats.

Is Zimbabwe headed for another economic collapse?

I've noticed that many OK branches are closing, and banks are laying off employees. It feels like things might be heading toward a collapse. However, people don’t seem too worried as long as fuel is still available.

What do you think? Are there signs of a deeper crisis, or is this just a phase?

I finished my A Level last year and I'm wondering if there are any jobs i can do. I did well in form 4 and 6 and waiting to go to university in August. If you have any recommendations for Harare and even contact details please message me. I thank in advance to everyone who will help.

Hie guys. So have been thinking of getting a Fit hybrid to use as an indrive car but without me driving it. I would like to know from those who own a few what percentage of the total profit you give the driver and any other Ts & Cs that are there. Also around how much are you paying for comprehensive insurance and tracker if needed.

Does the driver bring the money weekly or monthly, etc.

Also those who have trucks between 4ton and 8ton how’s the business like and the profit margins. Just trying to have a constant source of income coming on the side.

TIA

I'm just wondering how those ladies married to either of the following are doing:

1. The first born son
2. The favorite son
3. The rich son
4. The only son

I got married late last year and I've just noticed a weird trend, I might be the problem I guess. Before we got married we discussed finances and how we would take care of our parents because my dad died in January last year and I take care of my mum we agreed on a figure to send both parents every month. Let's say for discussion's sake $10 right. I started paying attention in January we sent both mum's mari a week before Christmas and my mum was grateful thanked her mukwasha and all , his mum thanked her son I guess which isn't a problem but a day before Christmas she call "We don't have money for Christmas food" , he sends her more money. End of January I had a miscarriage and we had medical bills but still $10 yana mama they were given on time but a few days afterwards I get messages from my husband tete is saying mum is sick she can't even get out of bed, he's stressed out, I'm like you need to go get her and go kwaDoc she can stay here I'll do my best to take care of her, hubby decides to send money because he thinks I haven't recovered enough to be left alone or have guests. That's when it gets weird tried to call mum in law I couldn't get through, I call tete ask if she's with her she gives me sum excuse says she'll call me ave navo, I call after 2hrs asking what happened kuClinic to tete she says we were told to come back tomorrow mind you tomorrow is a Sunday I'm like ooh you got meds then hanzi ayehwa tazongotenga mapainkiller ndukurukwa izvezvi. I try mum in law's phone it gets through Katete kadiki answers hanzi mum went out 😂😂😂. Unopererwa guys wasn't she so sick she couldn't get out of bed???? Like in all honesty wtf Stressing your own son for money, this man literally cried when I had the miscarriage and he told her, he isn't okay and you stress him out more just to get money? Apa you made extra demands and we didn't just send you the $10 we sent you almost double apa you ask for more??? He has grown he married veduwe Maybe I'm overreacting but something fishy going on.
