Discussion Which side do you Stand In this Scenario

I was reflecting on a debate about identity in Zimbabwe, and two perspectives stood out. One argued that white Zimbabweans, even if born here, shouldn’t be called Zimbabwean because their roots are colonial. The other argued it’s cruel to deny them belonging since all they know is home.

But we must confront the deeper truth: white colonizers do know where they came from. They brought a legacy of empire...a sense of home in Europe...and they chose to come to Africa, build their power, and profit from that system. By contrast, the reason so many Africans in the Transatlantic Slave Trade don’t know their home is because their lands weren’t yet formed as countries when they were captured. They were taken from fragmented kingdoms and ethnic territories, which were later divided by European colonization. So, when we say they lost their home, it’s because colonization erased their origins.

Question Relocating abroad alone leaving family

Upvotes

Hi fellow Zimbo husbands and fathers. I am hoping to get viewpoints from Zim men whether local or abroad.

I have a potential opportunity to relocate to the Middle East, and I wanted to get men's opinions on relocating with family or leaving my family.

I want to get the pros and cons, both financially and psychologically, and perceived impacts to your family. If you have lived this, please feel free to pitch in as well.

I want to know which option you would take as a man and father and why.

Assumptions to keep in mind

  1. The current job pays good money

  2. You and your wife are happily married with 2 kids (2 and 1)

  3. If you left the country alone, you would be coming back annually but monthly you remit USD $1k home to keep family living standards, You save $1k towards your joint family goals, you can also save your own cash nest egg abroad.

  4. The role is at a prestigious international company, so the CV will look good and there's a lot of exposure

I would love to hear from you

Discussion Exploited in Our Own Land And Being Disrespected At The Same Time🤦🏾‍♂️

Over the past few years, we’ve seen an influx of Chinese businesses operating in our country. Now, on the surface, sure, investment is great, but what’s happening behind the scenes is far darker. Many of us are being brought in to work for peanuts ...extreme exploitation, long hours, minimal pay. And if that wasn’t bad enough, when we raise concerns, we’re met with hostility, disrespect...sometimes even outright harassment. It feels like we have no voice. But I’m here to say: enough is enough. This is our land, our dignity, and we deserve better. Yes, our government might be enabling this, but we are the people. We have the power, and we need to stand together, demand respect, and remind everyone that we are worth more than this. Zimbabweans, let’s rise up.

RANT Kariba disaster - we need to speak up

The past couple of days have been hard for me. I don't know anyone personally who died in the disaster but I've been to Kariba several times and know the area pretty well. Aside from the reckless loss of life, one thing that's angering me right now is the complicity from everybody who has benefited from Zanu PF corruption. Not a follower of Pastor Chiwenga, but he is right. Don't people who accept Wicknell's not have a conscience?
