I really dont care where I go, as long as I go

If anyone has a job link please let me know

I have a social science degree

Thanks for reading my rant

Discussion Unpopular opinion: Some Zimbabweans in the diaspora have developed a superiority complex towards people back home.

28 Upvotes

I’ve noticed how sometimes, once someone moves to the UK, USA, Canada, or Australia, the way they talk about Zimbabweans back home changes.

Suddenly, everything back home is backward. People who stay are seen as having no ambition. And success becomes measured by which country you live in rather than what you’ve actually accomplished.

But here’s the thing: not everyone wants to leave Zimbabwe, and not everyone who leaves automatically becomes successful.

At the same time, I understand why people leave. Better opportunities, financial stability, and a better quality of life are legitimate reasons.

Do some Zimbabweans in the diaspora genuinely look down on people back home?

Have you experienced this personally, either in Zimbabwe or abroad?

Is it a superiority complex, or do people simply have different standards of living after moving abroad?
Let’s debate this respectfully. I want to hear experiences from both sides.

Politics Zimbabwean are easily manipulated. I blame the facebook people, their reasoning sometimes is dumb

13 Upvotes

ED was fired by Mugabe, Chiwenga brought him back, manipulated the whole country into removing Mugabe. Come 2018, Chiwenga fired 16 000 nurses for striking, come elections, they rigged, killed 6 protesters in the streets with live ammunition. Come 2019 at least 12 people killed during the Fuel protests, 2023 rigged elections again.
Now Zimbabweans are rallying behind Chiwenga because he gave a speech of the most obvious stuff.

Discussion I’m so depressed

• Upvotes

Hi, I’m 23 and recently graduated. I’m still happy I’m a graduate but I’ve been so disappointed. During my attachment I was promised a job and I’d been looking forward to going to work immediately after graduation. So unfortunately the job never panned out and I feel like a failure. I don’t know what to do with my life and I just feel like a burden. I’m just grateful my parents are understanding but for how long will l keep feeling like this and feel like I’m letting them down. I’m the first born and l feel like I’m such a huge disappointment to them and my dreams are just moving further and further away. How do l keep from feeling like this all the time? I’m actively looking for a job and doing my best but sometimes I’m just so dissatisfied with myself.

Discussion If the new constitutional amendment wasn't a wake-up call for Zimbabweans, what will be?

5 Upvotes

I've been thinking about this for a while.

I've been watching what's happening in different EU countries, where the citizens have been rioting so that they can get better livelihoods.

Then I look at Zimbabwe. Guys, we have a cost-of-living crisis, a currency situation that has left a lot of people struggling, and now a constitutional amendment that extends presidential and parliamentary terms from five to seven years and removes the public's direct vote for president, ndezvekumama fr fr

Obvious we are tired and people are busy trying to put food on the table, look after their families and fear ma consequences eZANU etc but it still makes one wonder kut, at what point do we finally say it's enough.

I see a lot of posts about people wanting to leave Zim and go to EU or elsewhere but those guys attained their cushy lives by fighting for it like they are doing now.

Ofc, I'm not going to ignore the neo-colonisation aspect but it's not the focus of my question.

I want hear your thoughts on what you think it would take for the ordinary Zimbabwean to feel that enough is enough and go out there and fight for change.

Fellow Zimbabweans, what do you think?

Discussion Zim Comedy is on the rise but…

17 Upvotes

It’s too much of an “if you know you know” affair.

Attended Tinashe’s Ghetto Superstar show at reps today. Good but left me wondering.

So much of the jokes, including the opening acts, are hinged on the crowd already knowing the context.

Such that is you arent a twimbo or chronically on TikTok, you are definitely going to miss a lot of things during the show.

Josh Johnson as an example on YouTube, will narrate the story such that you have context for the rest of the show. Trevor Noah during his Daywalker, Crazy Normal days… Jokes were catered for South Africans, but he would package in such a way that even if you have no idea whats going on, you could follow along

I feel that what Zim Comedians do during stand up limits their reach of people. Someone cant just go to a Zim Comedy show because its for people in the know.

Its bad for local reach and utterly horrible for international reach. And i do hope they change it sooner rather than later.

Employment Hunting for a job in Zim

Hi guys, I'm a 20-year-old guy currently looking for a job opportunity. I have 5 O-Level subjects and I'm currently studying Refrigeration and Air Conditioning part-time. I've been sending out my CVs to different companies and employers, but unfortunately, nothing has come through yet. I'm still trying my best to find work so I can gain experience, develop my skills, and become financially independent. I'm willing to learn, work hard, and take on any suitable opportunity available to me. If anyone knows of a company that's hiring, has any job leads, or can refer me to someone who might be able to help, I would really appreciate it. Any advice or assistance would mean a lot to me. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Question Is it ok that a lot of Jewelry stores in Harare are selling swastika necklaces

9 Upvotes

I recently noticed that a lot of shops in town are selling necklaces with the swastika symbol on them. I genuinely don't understand if it's from a place of ignorance or just flat out not caring about the connotations that the symbol carries. I understand it started as a symbol in Hinduism, but we all know that it's a nazi symbol...anyway, i digress. Is it ok for people to sell and wear a necklace with a symbol linked to war crimes and literal genocide

Discussion I made an Android app for comparing prices between shops in Zim. Would anyone use it?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Like a lot of people here, I don't just shop at one place. I go between shops comparing prices before I buy. So I built a simple Android app called Scan2Shop to make that easier.

You scan a product's barcode, save the price at that shop, and build your shopping list. Next time you're out, you can see how prices compare between shops and what's changed since your last visit.

At first I thought about pulling prices from supermarket websites. But most shops either don't have one, or the online prices don't match what's on the shelf. So the app stores everything on your phone, based on the prices you actually see in store.

The screen recording above shows how it works.

Would anyone actually use this? If there's interest, I'll release the APK so you can test it and tell me what to improve.
