Sadza

Is there too much love for Sadza on our typical southern African dish. Too much energy and no body building. Could it be the reason why our other fellow Africans from the East, West and North are a bit larger than us when we compare muscle mass?

What am I

I have dated women my entire life, but still like dating girls but at the moment i’m not dating anyone. Okay let’s back track a bit here, to get the story straightened out hahahaha pun intended.

I went to a boarding school in Zim, and there was a guy in my stream who was very feminine. Like he walked, talked and run like a girl type of feminine. We were friends not best friends but cordial friends.

One day we were stuck in a room when electricity went hahaha classic. We had gone to the locker room for him to retrieve his trunk food and iron. The door had missing handles, you could only open it by putting something on missing handle opening. We were in Form 2 and the locker rooms were notorious for bullying after exams, hence why he needed company.

Needless to say nothing sexual happened through out the hour waiting for the electricity to come back. But for some reason during that time it felt like I was stuck with a girl 😂😂. Well, long after school some years had passed when someone told him that so and so is gay. This was when facebook was starting to be popular. Well so and so finally got in touch and we talked for a bit until he started telling me about all the guys he had sex with at school including some that are married and one who is or was a ‘prophet’ at the time. Needless to say so and so offered to give me a bj and I refused hahaha I was dating someone.

The truth of the matter is that i’m okay with having sex with a dude so long as he’s feminine, I just won’t pursue a dude for sex let alone date a guy. I have dated and will continue to date women because there’s far more purpose in dating women than dudes. Thats why I don’t consider myself gay or bisexual or straight or any alphabetical acronym under the sun. Because in my experience there’s no point in being categorised into a box when I can choose to leave the box anytime I want.

Please upvote or downvote and comment, we want to grow the sub r/2zimbabwean4u encase this post is deleted

How can we improve our maize yield?

Going through some ZimStats publications, I came accross their data on maize farming yields. The national average is 700 kg per hectare which is really low. Compare this to South Africa which produces 5,33 to 7,25 t/ha and 4,00 to 6,40 t/ha for white and yellow maize respectively.

South Africa produces more that 5 times what we produce per hectare. A major difference to note though ist that the average farm size under maize production is 1600 hectares in South Africa while it's 6 hectares in Zimbabwe. We don't get economies of scale as a result.

Missing school from 2007 till 2009 and the impact it had

Hey friends in 2007 I was in form 2 when things started getting really bad with the teachers strike, I honestly think teachers came in for at the very least 20% of classes between form 2 and 3, I honestly don’t remember learning anything and I am lucky because my parents moved us out of the country then but maaan I was so behind with my education. I know it impacted me in a few ways like I had to always work the hardest to catch up with everyone else - I mean I did get a great work ethic out of it but I am curious about the impact that not getting a proper education during that time had on you guys? Or did it all?

Content creation

How many of you are creators? I personally feel that this is a industry that can help at lot of us especially that gradually with starliink and etc, we might experience an internet boom regionally and internationally among zim affiliated parties.

Please reply with your strategy, what you do and if youve monitized as well as other information. How have you used AI l, what are some gems? If you share your pages too, I'm happy to drop a follow/sub in the pond 🤗.

Extra note - I'm thinking of starting a platform for zim creators so they have more.support. I'm not experienced at this but I'm getting closer to my goal.

Black Friday in Zimbabwe is 🚮

I totally understand at the end of the day all we want is to make profits, but this day it's a way of saying thank you for being our valued customers. Here in our country they slash the prices by 20USD or 30USD MAX. The sad part is I can go to the shop and negotiate the price and bring it down from the original one without the Black Friday BONANZA. I mean do business people here take us to be fools or something. I laugh and get angry at the same time when I see this ads especially in the month of November. It's actually sad and depressing. Fk sht. My country hayi

Mozambiquecans won't give up the fight everyday they in the streets. Even churches condemned the election .

Here in Zimbabwe you will hear PAKAIPA then they move on. The next thing is their so called father's will tell you election outcome before it's announced endorsing ZANU PF

South Africans and Rasiscm towards other African nationalities.

South africans have to be the most pathetic types people there is, all they do online is hate on other african nationalities. Full of rascism and hatred in their heart towards other africans, but still to this day obey and praise their white slave mastes who enslaved and killed their ancestors. Very quick to hate on Chidimma, but after 30 years still no talks whatsover on land reform

Moment of gratitude.

For the first time ever since I graduated I have just surpased the 4 figure mark (in usd terms) in monthly income. Will this be on a consistent basis? Only the Universe knows. It was just recently when my momma gave me a pep talk about how I was pushing 30 ndisina chinobatika. I still want to leave Zim though. Nothing changes. I know I can do more. It was just last month when I was considering forfeiting buying a car to fund my adventures abroad. The realisation that I can actually do both kinda scares me.

I agree with a heavy heart.

I don't have a alot positive to say about Chamisa but I agree with this. And instead of being happy for our neighbour's that I am trying to be at nearly 50 years old I have a lump in my throat that we have never experienced this.

Bus from Zimbabwe - South Africa

Hello! I am a backpacker who is keen to use strictly busy from Zimbabwe - South Africa. I’m aware that there is no direct but so thinking of getting Harare/beitbridge - Cape Town. I’m also aware it will take long and crossing borders especially near Christmas time may be unsafe , however this isn’t my first rodeo and I have backpacked other countries like Colombia and Mexico.

Obviously family are opposed to me using public buses in Zim by myself and will use flights instead , but considering the above countries I’ve visited on my own I’m not phased.

What makes this different is, my parents are Zimbabwean and although I am not fluent I will understand the language so which will help with safety. And I will more likely blend in within the community.

I know it’s a long journey, but wanted to know if it is possible. Do people still take bus ? I can’t justify spending £300 to cross the border if a neighbouring country hence why I’m taking bus. I will be using Munenzwa luxury coaches. I’m also sure there are very obvious looking tourists that have done the same and have been fine ( although less commonly than specified countries ).

I will be with a massive backpack, considering I’ll be a a solo female backpacker will i be safe doing this ? I really don’t want to take flight. Will be meeting family on the other end in Cape Town.
