No, You Are Not Too Sensitive. The World Is Heavy Right Now

I’m going to say this plainly because I’m tired of people gaslighting themselves and each other just to survive another news cycle: No, you are not “too sensitive.” You are not weak for feeling like your chest is a little tighter these days. You’re not being dramatic for needing to lie down after scrolling headlines for five minutes. And you’re damn sure not overreacting for … Continue reading No, You Are Not Too Sensitive. The World Is Heavy Right Now

The Bail of a Man, the Silence of a Nation

Blessed Mhlanga is out. After seventy-two days of caged breath and cold concrete, after two humiliating bail denials and a nation’s stunned indifference, a judge has finally decided that the crime of journalism does not warrant indefinite punishment—at least not officially. He was released Tuesday 06 May on US$500 bail. But make no mistake: what has ended is not the injustice. Only the prelude. Because … Continue reading The Bail of a Man, the Silence of a Nation

The Govt Cannot Block The Exodus Of Professionals Through Force

Let’s not kid ourselves. You can burn the letters, double the fees, threaten the nurses, and chain the airport gates if you want—but people will still find a way to leave this crumbling husk of a nation. This isn’t just about migration anymore; it’s an escape. An instinct for survival. Zimbabwe has become a place where dreams go to drown, and the people, God help … Continue reading The Govt Cannot Block The Exodus Of Professionals Through Force

Who Owns the Future When the Youth Are Just Campaign Props?

I am tired of being a slogan.

Tired of being the glossy smile on a political poster, the ‘youth’ they name-drop when it’s time to chase votes or donors or dreams that were never built for us. I am tired of being the opening act at your summits, the dance troupe at your national celebrations, the one who reads the prepared speech about “hope” while you sip whisky and rehearse betrayal in the comfort of your bulletproof sedans. You wheel us out like ornaments, like cultural seasoning, and then stuff us back into unemployment, depression, or exile once the cameras are off.

There Is No Big Pharma Conspiracy—Just Small People With Big Greed

Let me be real with you. Big Pharma isn’t a cabal of vampires gathering at midnight to discuss how to keep the world sick. There is no Illuminati-like council of CEOs clinking glasses while plotting a flu outbreak in Botswana.

You know why?

Your Grind Culture is Killing Us, and You Still Call it Ambition

Let me be clear—I have nothing against ambition. Dream. Build. Thrive. But what y’all are doing out here? This “I-sleep-3-hours-and-drink-anxiety-for-breakfast” lifestyle? That’s not ambition. That’s pathology. That’s collective burnout masquerading as motivation, and someone needs to say it out loud……
