Sadly, it’s time to say goodbye to Zimbabwe. What a journey this sojourn has been. A true roller coaster. From laughter and celebrations to heartbreak and grief, then somehow finding moments to smile again through it all. On 11 April, we gathered at the village in Redhill Njanja to celebrate the lives of our dearly departed grandparents, unveiling tombstones for them and for our late uncles too. It was emotional, but beautiful. A family united in remembrance, love and respect. Barely a week later, we were back again under dark clouds, laying my Aunt Grace to rest after her sudden passing. Life can change in an instant. One moment you are celebrating legacy, the next you are mourning loss. That hit hard. Through it all, I was carried by the love, support and warmth of family and friends. I want to thank my sister Charmaine for the logistical support, Blu Innovations Blu-Innovation Auto parts for the service kit, and Oliver “Twist” Madzinga of Cardeck Auto for keeping the Green Beast purring like a content lion. To family, friends and the #PyjamaParty possé, thank you for the laughter, the company and the warmth. To my daughter Cory, thank you for keeping the home fires burning . Thank you Sisi Ruth, Sekuru Manu and Endurance for making my stay comfortable, keeping me well fed, and for all the running around that had to be done behind the scenes. Sekuru Manu, I truly appreciate you. Mama Rose… thank you for everything you do for us. Love you very much. There are simply too many people to mention individually, but every phone call, every plate of food, every lift, every laugh, every comforting word and every embrace meant something. I leave teary-eyed and heavy-hearted. Leaving home never gets easier. But as they say, a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do. Until next time, Zimbabwe. Cheers for now. Later is gonna be greater.

##NjanjaChronicles #TheHomecoming #TheKingIsAround Saturday 11 April will sit firmly in my history books ,one of the most memorable, emotional and deeply satisfying days, all wrapped up in a small bag of love. After a full year of planning, 35 grandchildren travelled from across the globe and gathered at the village in Redhill, Njanja, to honour and celebrate the lives and legacy of our dearly departed grandparents, Joseph Mackenzie Magende Pfende (15/10/1910 – 30/06/1988) and Helen Brooks (06/11/1918 – 17/08/1991). My grandfather settled in Redhill around 1940, where he established the first store in the area. A man of few words, but decisive in action. His story deserves more than a single post. My grandmother, Helen, was the daughter of Ambuya Chitema of Chihota and a Scottish immigrant who left soon after her birth. She was strong, hardworking, and deeply rooted in tradition. Despite standing out , light-skinned, with flowing hair , she became part of the community in a way that mattered. She worked the land tirelessly, alongside workers and, at times, us grandchildren during school holidays, while Granddad worked as a chauffeur for the MD of African Distillers in the 1970s. We also took time to remember our uncles. Roger Brooks-Pfende (10/03/1949 – 21/04/1981), whose life was tragically cut short after unknowingly drinking traditional beer laced with poison at a community function , an incident that shook the entire Denhere community. Onias George “Mapepa” Mackenzie Pfende (20/08/1947 – 20/06/1998) , a surveyor par excellence, a storyteller, and a man full of compassion. His work helped shape places like New Ardbennie Industrial area and Rufaro Stadium. Newton Brooks (10/01/1951 – 07/07/2024) , “the philosopher.” A wise, gentle man, a great listener, and one of those uncles I could run to for advice back in my dating days 😆 And Martin Brooks-Pfende (16/03/1942 – 22/10/2001) , a fighter and a brawler, loved his fast cars and everything that came with being the OG in the hood of Kong 😆 He worked at Salisbury Municipality, later Harare City Council. Worked hard. Played hard. For many of us, it was a remembrance and a reunion. Some cousins I hadn’t seen in 25 years. Some meeting for the very first time. There was laughter. There were stories. Drinks flowed, music carried through the night, and a strong team of murooras made sure no one went hungry. We sat around the fire until the early hours, reconnecting, remembering, and restoring something that time had quietly stretched. It was waaaay more than a gathering, it was a homecoming. And to say I need a recharge is an understatement. I’m off the grid Monday and Tuesday 😆

#Harare #Zimbabwe .13 May 2026. Finally, a move ,albeit several decades behind many developed cities, to curb errant driving at some of Harare’s most chaotic intersections through the installation of the Smart Traffic Management System. The system is being introduced at about 20 key crossings including Glenara Avenue/Samora Machel Avenue, Herbert Chitepo Avenue/Leopold Takawira Street (that’s Moffat Street/Rhodes Avenue pre-1980 for those who may have lost touch 😅), Cripps Road/Remembrance Drive, and this one here at Second Street/Churchill Avenue, among others. The AI-powered cameras will reportedly transmit real-time data to a new data centre at CID headquarters. It is my hope that this new traffic management system will deter the growing culture of motorists “jumping” red lights, blocking intersections and generally turning major crossings into scenes of confusion. Importantly, the technology also reduces direct human-to-human interaction in traffic enforcement, an area that has long been vulnerable to corruption. The programme is expected to roll out to Bulawayo soon. Press play for more. #TheKingIsAround #HappinessIsOurBusiness

#Pause This audio explains why trust in the system is slowly eroding. My story is not unique. EcoCash ,EcoCash Zimbabwe was undoubtedly a game changer for money transactions in Zimbabwe. For years, it made sending and receiving money quick and convenient. However, lately I’ve become disillusioned with the platform’s integrity, checks and balances. Audios circulating on WhatsApp confirm that I’m not the only one concerned, especially when it comes to diaspora remittances and how transactions are being handled. Money transfer platforms like WorldRemit generally offer efficient services, but there is room for improvement when things go wrong. In my case, I accidentally entered one wrong digit in the recipient’s phone number. The money landed in a stranger’s wallet and they were able to use this unexpected “bonus” with no hassle at all. Yes, I fully admit my mistake. But my question is this: how is someone able to withdraw money that was not meant for them, especially when the funds are not in their name? There should be a system where recipients are required to enter their identification number before EcoCash releases the money. Typing a wrong digit is very easy, especially with thick fingers like mine! When I contacted WorldRemit, they explained that once the money leaves their system, they have no control over it and advised me to contact EcoCash for a reversal. But we all know how challenging that process can be. Now, regarding the audios circulating: several people are warning others in their WhatsApp groups not to use EcoCash, claiming money is allegedly being intercepted even before it reaches the intended recipient. Some claim close to 1,000 people have already filed police reports. This situation cannot continue. These companies already have systems in place for cash pick-up services where identification is required. Why not apply the same principle to mobile wallet transactions? All it would take is a simple step: require recipients to enter their ID number before funds are released. It shouldn’t be difficult to implement. This would protect both senders and recipients, and help restore trust in the system.

#PiePatrol #OrientalPies #Bulawayo Pepper Steak Pie. Last year I reviewed the steak and kidney pie from Bulawayo’s iconic Oriental Pies on Ninth Avenue. That one caused a stir, especially from the Surrey Pie , Marondera fans.😆😆 Fast forward to Wednesday , I got my hands on their pepper steak pie. Missed the UK’s Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Pete “Samaita” Vowles,Pete Vowles by a whisker. Turns out he had just been there minutes before me, grabbing a few pies and chicken samoosas. 😅 Now, to the business at hand on behalf of TeamFuloZim/Global. This pie is packed, no guesswork required. From the first bite, you meet juicy, tender beef, well-seasoned , I’m thinking with crushed peppercorns doing most of the talking. It delivers exactly what it promises. No hunting around like that disappointing Pick 'n'Pay Northend; Bulawayo steak pie I had recently, where I needed three bites to find a lonely cube of beef. Here, every bite counts. No air pockets, no zero empty spaces, solid filling throughout. The pepper doesn’t rush you. It builds and hits the palate like an echo. Around the third bite, it settles in a gentle heat that lingers . It doesn't shout. Only drawback for me is the pastry. It’s a bit pale , "anaemic" and slightly doughy. It could use more browning and a touch of gloss to get that crisp, flaky finish , especially when you compare it to the Surrey Pie out in Marondera. At US$3, though, this is excellent value. Filling, full of flavour, and satisfying. Score: 8.5/10 . TeamFuloZim/Global #TheKingIsAround ##HappinessIsOurBusiness

Daring Thief Escapes Mob by Scaling Tower in Zimbabwe. Story by Yours Truly . Video sent by anonymous . In a heart-stopping scene in Rimuka, Kadoma, Zimbabwe, a thief took extreme measures to evade capture by scaling a 30-meter tall light tower. The incident drew a crowd, reflecting perhaps the town's unemployment rate, as onlookers watched in a mix of horror and fascination. As the thief ascended, several brave or perhaps foolhardy individuals from the public decided to follow, transforming into real-life "Spidermen" in their pursuit of justice. The crowd below held its breath, gasping as it seemed the thief might lose his grip at any moment, facing a potentially fatal fall. The tension escalated with every move, the crowd's murmurs growing into loud gasps. However, in a twist of fate, the thief outmaneuvered his three pursuers at the pinnacle of the tower. With agility that belied his predicament, he began his descent, not towards freedom, but into the arms of the law awaiting him below. Thanks to my "sauces" on the ground for the captivating video.
