History Will Judge Us By Our Social Media Timelines

Views When the story of Zimbabwe in these years is finally written, I suspect it will not be remembered for what we suffered, but for how lightly we took it. The record will not be one of famine, mismanagement, and squandered opportunities. It will be one of hashtags, punchlines, and endless forwarding. We will not be immortalised as a people crushed under unbearable hardship, but … Continue reading History Will Judge Us By Our Social Media Timelines

REALITY BITES, REFLECTION SUNDAY

Where the clock ends

Kumbirai Thierry Nhamo

Kumbirai Thierry Nhamo is a social justice activist, writer and blogger.

If no one ever died, the word “life” would be meaningless.
It would not even exist.
We only name something when there is also something it is not.
Light means nothing without darkness.
Heat means nothing without cold.
You only know a thing because you have known its opposite.

The Myth Of Infinite Growth

The tide of optimism about technology has swelled to a roar in the past few years. Every month brings news of a faster chip, a smarter machine or a grand vision of AI solving our problems. The prevailing creed assumes innovation has no bounds, and that each breakthrough simply opens new frontiers.

MIND, MYTH AND MADNESS

Piece of Shit

Some days I wake up and think,“Damn, I might be the problem.” Not in a villain arc kind of way, no. Just in that quiet, disappointing way you forget to reply to someone who loves you.Or you said you’d change, and didn’t.Or you left your undried laundry in the wardrobe for three days and now it smells like betrayal. I’m not evil. Just… inconsistent.A decent … Continue reading Piece of Shit

REFLECTION SUNDAY

How Much Of My Life Is Truly Mine?

Kumbirai Thierry Nhamo

I ask myself this a lot. Some days, I feel like I’m just watching my life happen. Like I’m a passenger, not the one driving.

I wake up each morning to the same routine. Not because I want to, but because I have to. Wake up, work, worry. There’s always something. Many bills, food, family problems. Everything needs attention. Everything costs money.

REALITY BITES

Underpaid

I send invoices like prayers.
Gentle. Hopeful. Read at 3:14am and never replied to.

They say freelancing is freedom.
Yeah the kind of freedom where you’re free to starve creatively.
Free to chase clients like you’re the debt collector and the therapist.
Free to do five people’s jobs for the price of exposure and a thank-you emoji.

Reflection

Blank Page

The page isn’t really blank.
It’s just staring at me.
Judging me.
Waiting for brilliance I swore I had at 2am but can’t find now that the sun’s up and my coffee’s gone cold.

NOISY TRUTHS

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?
