She Is the Head of HR and She Knew Exactly What She Was Doing.

It takes a particular kind of cunning to navigate the highest tiers of corporate America—not just ambition, but the capacity to mold the perception of your presence, to exude both authority and discretion, power and plausible deniability. That, more than anything else, is the currency of Human Resources at the executive level. When the Coldplay kiss-cam scandal exploded online—two executives from the same company caught … Continue reading She Is the Head of HR and She Knew Exactly What She Was Doing.

Is This Health Justice or State Overreach?

In the swiftly evolving drama of Zimbabwean healthcare, a new bill in Parliament has stirred both hope and alarm. The Medical Services Amendment Bill, championed by Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi, seeks to align private hospital practices with constitutional guarantees. It empowers the health minister to cap fees, regulate pricing, and mandates that private institutions admit and stabilize emergency patients for at least … Continue reading Is This Health Justice or State Overreach?

The Real Truth They Don’t Want You To Know: Why Property Is So Expensive In Zimbabwe

I didn’t plan to write this. But sometimes an article burrows into your thoughts and refuses to let go.

It was informative, well-structured, and made a compelling case around factors like land shortages, inflation, and the … Continue reading The Real Truth They Don’t Want You To Know: Why Property Is So Expensive In Zimbabwe

Women, Water, and the Weight of Sustainability

Every day, in villages across Zimbabwe and beyond, a familiar figure appears: women and girls carrying heavy jerrycans under the sun, walking for kilometres to fetch water. They bend, stoop, and trudge, often returning home exhausted, yet their labour is seldom honoured. This image, so ordinary that it fades into the landscape is a vivid testament to how unsustainable policies weigh most heavily on those … Continue reading Women, Water, and the Weight of Sustainability

WhatsApp’s New Feature Might Be a Gift to Con Artists

There is a seductive appeal to the word “privacy.” It conjures images of safety, control, and autonomy. It suggests a world in which one can participate without being exposed, speak without being watched, and interact without being tracked. So it’s no surprise that the tech world is constantly dressing its new features in the garments of privacy. But beneath the PR-friendly lingo, some of these … Continue reading WhatsApp’s New Feature Might Be a Gift to Con Artists

What the Musk–Trump Feud Tells Us About the Future of Power

There was a time when billionaires stayed in boardrooms and presidents stayed on podiums. Now, their worlds have fused into one volatile theatre. Over the past fortnight or so, a dramatic and very public fallout has erupted between Elon Musk (billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX) and Donald Trump, the recently re-elected president of the United States. It is vulgar, bizarre, and deeply instructive. And … Continue reading What the Musk–Trump Feud Tells Us About the Future of Power

Sacrifices

What sacrifices have you made in life? Oh, sacrifices? You want to talk about sacrifices? I’ve bartered sleep like a desperate trader at a collapsing market: swapped it for deadlines, for dreams, for defiance. I’ve sat in rooms where my silence was safer than the truth but still chose to speak. Lost friends over convictions. Lost time over causes. Lost faith in systems that promised … Continue reading Sacrifices

The War In Sudan Is Still Happening And The World Has Moved On

Somewhere between the latest tech layoffs, celebrity gossip, and viral TikToks about how to season your trauma with lavender oil and affirmations, a war is still raging in Sudan. Yes, still. Not metaphorically. Not in the abstract. Real bombs, real bodies, real cities reduced to skeletal rubble. Real people, over 13 million of them fleeing from homes that once smelled of spice and promise. But … Continue reading The War In Sudan Is Still Happening And The World Has Moved On
