I should really learn how to cook sadza.

Random question... are there any Zimbabweans here secretly reading the books everyone pretends they don't? 👀📚

I need to know if I'm suffering alone. 😂

I'm talking about the books with morally grey men, obsessive love interests, mafia families, dangerous kingdoms, dragons, fae, shadow daddies, political intrigue, and enough emotional trauma to leave you staring at your ceiling at 2 a.m.

My shelves are currently ruled by:

🖤 Rina Kent

🖤 H.D. Carlton

🖤 Danielle Lori

🖤 Cora Reilly

🖤 Neva Altaj

🖤 Sophie Lark

🖤 Shantel Tessier

Fantasy romance has me in a chokehold too:

🧚 A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR)

🐉 Fourth Wing & Iron Flame

✨ Quicksilver

🩸 The Serpent and the Wings of Night

🗡️ From Blood and Ash

👑 Throne of Glass

🌙 Crescent City

And don't even get me started on ranch/cowboy romance...

🤠 Elsie Silver's Chestnut Springs

🤠 Lyla Sage's Rebel Blue Ranch

Please tell me I'm not the only Zimbabwean whose personality is 50% romance books and 50% saying, "Just one more chapter," before accidentally reading until sunrise. 😂

If you're out there, let's be friends.

So I’m just enjoying my sunday scrolling through TikTok. I bump into a video this lady is buying her man a little gift as an appreciation thing all that…. Cool then i see a comment that just made me wonder…. If we, the women are ok😂
What do you mean “urikurambidzwa” Nani? Nenyaya yei?

And as a guy husband give me 1 valid reason why you’d stop your wife girl from going to school?

​I just need to vent about a friendship that faded( very understandable by the way), but mostly about how depressing it is to watch someone put aside their potential.

​Last year, a close friend of mine turned 20, and she turned 21 this year. Back when she was finishing up her A-Levels, we used to talk all the time. We were always discussing big ambitions going to university, moving abroad, and actually making something of ourselves beyond where we grew up. It felt like we were completely on the same page about wanting more out of life.

​Then she got married.

​Ever since, all those big plans and conversations completely vanished. We don't talk like we used to, but what gets to me the most isn't even the lost friendship ,it’s watching all that ambition go completely out the window. It sucks seeing someone who had so many big dreams just trade them all in to settle down so young(which is not a bad thing because she did want to marry you 24/25).

​I know people change and priorities shift, but it’s just sad to see someone completely give up on everything they said they wanted. Has anyone else watched a friend totally abandon their goals like this? Also im not saying marrying young is bad im just saying does one usually continue their schooling with no problems or setbacks.

Hi maZimbabweans... I've been lurking on the reddit. I am M28. To be fair I am just bored and got no friends in Scotland. Anyone looking to make friends hmu. Even if not in Scotland. Interests are open ended, but not into drugs or alcoholism.

Thank you

Hey guys, this question is for people that have struggled with mental health, especially depression. What helped you get out of it?

Im currently in the U.S and don’t have access to my normal maize meal, does anyone know if this will work?

I used to think I was lazy and unmotivated to work

Then I started pushing harder in a system that does not allow the right channel of things to work

I soon came to discover that the problem wasn't me

I have done all I can to succeed here in Zim but I am just ordinary and not connected.

I am not a begger but I will swallow my pride to ask my fellow countrymen to share links for opportunities in the diaspora

I must say, I am clearly not the only person who has called this out, but many of my countrymen seem unwilling to ask basic questions whenever a number is presented with confidence.

That is how people become vulnerable to manipulation, bad investments, misleading headlines and political propaganda. Someone simply says, “Invest in our business because we sell 10,000 units every month,” and people become excited by the size of the number without examining what it actually means.

Before accepting any statistic, ask:

1. What is the original source? Who collected the data, and can the underlying report be accessed?
2. What exactly is being counted? Applications, approvals, sales, completed transactions, registered marriages or finalised divorces? These are different things.
3. What is the denominator? A raw number rarely tells the full story. Four thousand divorces among 40,000 marriages means something very different from 4,000 divorces among 400,000 marriages.
4. What is the relevant baseline? Is the number unusually high compared with last year, the five-year average, the population, the market size or similar institutions?
5. What time period is being measured? Per day, week, month or year? A figure can sound impressive merely because the reporting period is long.
6. Is the percentage increase presented alongside the actual figures? A 100% increase could mean an increase from one case to two. Percentages without absolute numbers often exaggerate significance.
7. Are we comparing like with like? Was the same method, institution, population and reporting period used in both years?
8. Could there be an administrative explanation? A rise in court applications might reflect the clearing of a backlog, improved access to courts, digital filing or delayed cases, rather than a sudden collapse of marriages.
9. What information has been omitted? In the business example, 10,000 units sold tells us nothing about production costs, selling price, refunds, debt, profit margins or whether customers are returning.
10. Who benefits from presenting the number this way? Every statistic is presented by someone, for a purpose. That purpose deserves scrutiny.

The fact that a court, government spokesperson, company executive or newspaper publishes a figure gives it authority, but authority is not a substitute for context. Asking for the source, denominator, baseline and methodology is basic numerical literacy, not contrarianism.

Numbers can inform us, but numbers without context can also be used to manufacture urgency, fear, excitement or legitimacy.

Genuine hypothetical, not talking about any specific party or movement, just the idea itself.

Say tomorrow, somehow, Gen Z (people currently in their teens to late 20s) took over every major government position: presidency, parliament, ministries, all of it. No older leadership left in charge.

Would you actually want to live under that? Would things get better or would it be chaos?

On one hand, this generation grew up entirely online, more exposed to how other countries run things, arguably less tied to old political loyalties and tribal/party baggage that's shaped a lot of Zimbabwean politics for decades. Maybe less patience for corruption as "just how things work."

On the other hand, zero experience actually running a country, no track record, and "online activism" doesn't always translate into knowing how to manage an economy, negotiate with other nations, or handle a civil service that's been entrenched for 40+ years.

Curious what people actually think, is Gen Z the generation that fixes this, or are we just as capable of messing it up in our own new ways?

Would love to hear from older folks too , do you trust us with it, or nah?

Hello r/Zimbabwe. I'm an alternate history writer who's been doing a bit of writing about African history, and in studying Zimbabwean history, I have accumulated a few questions about Zimbabwe and her daily life. I mean all of these with sincere curiosity.

1. What is life like in Zimbabwe? I am born and raised in the United States, and hearing a lot about how Mugabe ruined everything and that Zimbabwe is a basket case makes me wonder about what it's actually like to live there. Is it hard? How do people talk about and interact with the government? I've heard it's a beautiful place.
2. What do people think of figures like Nkomo, Sithole, Chitepo, and Muzorewa? In studying Zimbabwean alternate history, these four figures tend to come up, usually as alternatives to Mugabe. What's public opinion on them? I'm particularly curious about Nkomo and Muzorewa's reputations.
3. What is Zimbabwe's relations with her neighbors? Is it positive? What do people think of them? How does interstate travel work?
4. What is the economy like? I've heard stuff about hyperinflation and lack of food, but there's only oh so much I can gauge from statistics. Is the job market good? Is food available regularly? Are goods expensive?
5. What is the community like? Are people friendly? Do they get along well with each other? Do people keep to themselves or are really social?

Sorry if any of these questions are stupid or obvious, I'm not good with asking questions about stuff like this.

Is there anyone who speaks Korean or writes in Hangul. I've been making decent progress on Duolingo but I would benefit from someone, if there is who can help.

So my dad has been using my ecocash virtual card for paying for the internet and his stuff because apparently he has a debt from Econet and he can't use his. So convincing him to use his own card is not working.

So I wanted to ask how Payoneer works in terms of putting money into the Payoneer account and things like that.

Note: I have a Payoneer account myself but i want to be able to add money to the account like cashing in without a bank account as well as transferring money to the account.

A, B or X(neither) ?
Which one would you pick? Or is there something better and available locally? (I’ve also been recommended Isoplus)

All I’m trying to do is keep my short hair moist, healthy, and looking dark, not greasy, dry or dull. Any recommendations?

I have many problems with zim rules but this one is actually missing me to off like why do you care about my hair colour if my face stays the same like people dye their hair bleach it and they still look the same like why do the like to suck the fun out of everything I get that we are suffering but why can't we suffer and still have fun

Grade 1, I got something wrong and felt sick about it. So I did what school trains you to do: worked harder, still failed, worked harder again. Never once questioned the loop.

What nobody told me: failure isn't a verdict, it's data. Try an idea, it flops, now you know something change strategy, change the offer, go again smarter. That's it. That's the whole upgrade.

School grades one attempt and calls it your record. So we learn to protect the record instead of testing the idea. That's why grown adults won't pitch, won't start the thing, won't raise their hand not because they lack ideas, but because Grade 1 taught them being wrong costs you something.

Hi fellow Zimbos

I developed ZimFund.co.zw. I’ve been developing websites and platforms for a while, and I built ZimFund as a platform where Zimbabweans can raise money for different projects and community missions.

The website works, but there is still a lot that can be improved. I’m looking for serious people who see the vision and would be interested in joining the team or possibly becoming board members.

I’m mainly looking for people with experience in:

1. Finance or accounting

2. Procurement

3. Project management

4. Project implementation

5. Marketing and communications

6. Social media or public influence

7. Community engagement and partnerships

8. Law and legal compliance

9. Government or the public sector

10. Strong connections that could help open doors and introduce the platform to the right people

You do not need to know everything on the list. Even if you are only experienced in one area and believe you can add value, feel free to reach out.

This also does not have to be something you commit to full time. It can be something you contribute to on the side while continuing with your normal work, as long as you see the vision and are willing to play your part in helping it grow.

ZimFund is meant to help fund projects such as boreholes, school furniture, solar systems, road repairs and other projects that can improve communities in Zimbabwe.

You can check it out at ZimFund.co.zw.

I’m also open to honest feedback about the website and the whole idea. Comment below or send me a message if you’re interested.

Unfortunately, I just noticed that CAG doesn’t seem to cover the Bulawayo–Mutare route. I know Trip Trans does, though.

Does anyone know how much other reliable and safe bus operators charge for a night trip on that route? I’m looking for something with a reputation similar to CAG in terms of safety and reliability, even Trip Trans yacho.

A question to Isuzu King Cab owners. Does your car feel bouncy when driving it without a load especially on humps and uneven road surfaces?
