A Gun man went into a Shack in Johannesburg and slaughtered 11 poor South Africans. What a madness. About 9 million South Africans live in shacks. The failure of the state to provide security to these settlements is worrisome.

It Is All Down to You I am convinced, beyond any doubt, that Zimbabweans love their country with remarkable intensity. There may be little in the present circumstances to admire, yet many continue to defend it with a passion that is both profound and persistent. In all this, however, it seems to me that my people still fail to appreciate one essential truth: ultimately, it is all down to them. We often become engrossed in disputes over who did what wrong, who failed the masses, who betrayed whom, and who sold out, all in the name of love for country. Yet in doing so, we lose sight of a more important reality: we ourselves are the change this country so desperately yearns for. There’s no knight in shining armor thats coming to save us; no politician to call for and lead in any action and certainly no strategist to deal with a militarized and corrupt regime. With CAB 3, we have reached a critical juncture at which we must all acknowledge that this nation requires our active participation more than it requires the men or institutions we are so quick to blame. The blame game has long exhausted its value. What remains urgent and relevant is the fundamental question: What can I do for my country? I hope that by asking this question, we may come to understand that the responsibility for change now rests with each of us as individuals. Makunyiwe!

Replying to @TheLifeZoomer
Transiting through South Africa from the UK to Zimbabwe might be better connection wise , but never again! The baggage handlers a @ortambo_int are thieves, had mobile phones stolen, shoes t shirts , even my second hand boxer shorts stolen there. And there are no consequences for the thieves disguised baggage handlers. Check-in staff are rude AF!

A Farewell to a Friend of Zimbabwe 🇿🇼🇬🇧 His Excellency Pete Vowles,@PeteVowles , the United Kingdom's Ambassador to Zimbabwe, is nearing the end of his tour of duty, and with his departure Zimbabwe bids farewell to a diplomat unlike any other. As far as I can remember, no British Ambassador to Zimbabwe has endeared himself to ordinary Zimbabweans quite the way Pete has. His warmth, humility, infectious personality and ability to connect with people from all walks of life earned him something that cannot be conferred by governments or written into diplomatic credentials, the genuine affection and respect of the people. Over the past eight years, Pete has quietly helped thaw relations between Zimbabwe and the United Kingdom at a time when historical baggage and political differences could easily have kept the two nations apart. He achieved this not through grandstanding or headlines, but through people. Through supporting Zimbabwean farmers seeking access to UK markets. Through engaging local businesses, charities and communities. Through listening more than he spoke. Through showing up where others often would not. Yet none of this surprises me. Long before he became Ambassador, Pete was a young teacher in rural Mudzi in the early 1990s. It was there that his enduring connection with Zimbabwe was born. He travelled across the countryside, immersed himself in local culture, played slug at rural business centres, drew water from wells, shared meals with villagers, slept by candlelight and embraced life as it was lived by ordinary Zimbabweans. He learnt our language ,our customs, and most importantly, he learnt our people. That connection never left him. I have always believed that, deep down, Zimbabwe is not merely another posting on Pete's diplomatic résumé. It is his second home. That became even more evident in 2023 when @TeamFuloZim launched the #AmbassadorsCookOffZW,inviting ambassadors accredited to Zimbabwe to prepare a beloved Zimbabwean dish, Highfiridzi. Pete was the first ambassador to put up his hand. That was Pete all over. Not because he wanted the spotlight, but because he genuinely embraced opportunities to engage with Zimbabweans beyond the formalities of diplomatic life. What happened next speaks volumes about his influence and the goodwill he enjoyed among his peers. Pete encouraged fellow diplomats to participate, helping build momentum behind the initiative. Soon ambassadors and senior diplomats from across the diplomatic community signed up and embraced the challenge with enthusiasm. What followed was something truly special. Diplomats left the comfort of embassy walls, visited local markets, bought ingredients, lit fires, cooked in clay pots and immersed themselves in Zimbabwean culture. They laughed, learnt, shared stories and connected with ordinary Zimbabweans in ways that traditional diplomacy rarely allows. The Cook-Off became far more than a cooking competition. It became a bridge between cultures. And Pete was there at the very beginning, helping make it happen. One of my fondest memories was welcoming Pete and Hannah into our family home in Mount Pleasant, where they met my mother, Mama Rose, my children, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews. By the end of the visit, they did not feel like distinguished guests. They felt like family. Perhaps that is what made Pete different. He understood that diplomacy is ultimately about people,not buildings,not protocols. People. When future historians look back on Pete Vowles' time in Zimbabwe, they will undoubtedly speak about trade, diplomacy and bilateral relations. Those things matter. But many Zimbabweans will remember something else. A man who was just as comfortable sitting around a fire in the rural areas as he was attending a diplomatic reception. A man who embraced our culture, respected our people and made a genuine effort to understand the country he came to represent.

600 more Ghanaians register at our High Commission to be evacuated from South Africa. When the safety and dignity of Ghanaians are at stake, the Government of Ghana does not compromise or dither. I am immensely proud of the resilient spirit of Ghanaians. See you soon -- there's no place like home. For God and Country 🇬🇭 🙏🏾
