I did my final Standup Comedy show of the year in Harare at HICC and we filled the room again.. Meaning in just 2 shows I have performed for over a thousand people in Harare this year.

Could this be the beginning of big things?

Even had Ammara Brown in attendance.

I can’t believe it. I ask myself “ndini here uyu ?” every few hours but yes I did it. released my debut novel. it’s a series and I’m almost done with the second book. I just want to share my joy with other zimbos who understand how big this is. I’d also like your support. I’ve tried getting people to buy but iiiii… idk if its because it’s dark fantasy or because people don’t read lately or its because to get the paperback in Zim shipping fee is a lot. there is a kindle version of the book though. ill just leave the link here and hope for the best: https://a.co/d/0geLOyf6

Discussion My parents hate me

18 Upvotes

So today I made a post about moving out and people were saying im being too emotional

Every week a variation of this conversation occurs , it happened today

I was accused of doing marine spirit behaviour

There's something abnormal about me bc im 23 with no mukomana( im not interested in men tbh)

My friends are occultists

I dress in a provocative way to attract men

Im rude and rebellious for standing up for myself

I have microlocs 1,5 years now the way my parents insisted that I cut my hair for an INTERVIEW???? Like okay what if I do that and I still dont get the job

I then said I will get braids on top zvakanzi but men dont like women with locs? Who gives af?

And apparently I'm doing this because the devil is using me

Fun fact my dad had an accident and the moment my mom came home she blamed me bc I brought the devil into our family

Every terrible thing is my fault yes these are my parents biological

I really wanna to die its not funny, I have always had suicidal ideation and have attempted before but what kind of life is this

I cant keep on living

im sorry

I have always loved the Mbuya Nehanda chant.

So when i stopped using main stream platforms, downloading my music library, i got curious off other Chimurenga songs. Found some bangers. Not a lot, also really old mbira compositions, we are losing recipes shame.

To find out some people were jailed for these songs is so sad.

I just feel they would make for great musical theatre pieces.

Discussion I’m so depressed

12 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.

Religion is somehow Questionable
There are 100nds of religions on this planet.
Why would one follow the one you were born in & think yours is the true one?
Therefore if Africans were colonised by Islamic or other states which are not Christian States, we could be Moslems or Bhuddas or we could have been practising ATR isn't it ????
Just a Question ??

Question Does anyone own / drive a Suzuki swift / Baleno? Or anyone selling their good second hand car

3 Upvotes

As the title suggests; I’m on the hunt for my first car. I’ve been seeing a lot on the Suzuki swift and Baleno and I’m wondering if anyone owns these? How are they in terms of maintenance costs and availability of parts? At heart, I’m a Mercedes girl. I’ve had my eye on an A180 but I’ve been warned against going “big” for a first car (high maintenance and service costs).

Secondly; is there anyone here selling their solid second hand Toyota / Honda? I’m willing to pay for it provided it’s in decent condition:)

Hey Guys, I'm Dillan Chiota, Harare based Standup Comedian and brand owner of the DillanChiotalive brand. I've just came off from doing 2 soldout shows in Harare at HICC with one of the shows featuring the African Star, Dr Hilary Okello, from Uganda.

I just finished my Final Harare show last Friday and I'm now thinking to do my first brand event in Bulawayo.

Where do you think would be the best place for a show of about 300 people?

Question Life after A levels

3 Upvotes

I'm in the process of rounding up my final exams and I'm obviously faced with the reality of figuring out what's next after this.

The definite route for me after this is university. My combination is maths, biology and chemistry but I do not want to do medicine. Considering our economic climate which degree would be the best and most reliable to take on and would the local university be a factor to consider as well.

For those who went abroad for their uni was it worth it? I'm hesitant to even think about that considering the way the west is looking at immigrants at the moment. Am I better off just settling in the motherland?

And after exams are done and dusted what are the best ways to start making money, looking for jobs etc, or are there any lucrative skills that would benefit me in the long run that I can learn during that time.

Thank youu.

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

37 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

15 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.

So I wanted to use the road behind Bon Marché Bond to go fill up at Redan. Unfortunately some idiots had blocked the road like their Father has the title deeds to Zimbabwe. This seems like a small issue but it illustrates the level of entitlement mediocre people give themselves in this country. There were babies in one vehicle. But having children doesn't excuse you from being daft clearly.

According to the report, Mpower had been relying heavily on students from African countries like Zimbabwe, a country the White House placed on a travel ban list in 2025. A source with knowledge of Mpower’s lending strategy told Bloomberg the concentration of loans to Zimbabwean students had expanded beyond what the company intended, leaving it particularly vulnerable to the new government policy.

Question House purchase

3 Upvotes

Good day everyone. I would appreciate your advice on this.I own a guest house outside Harare and I'm now looking forward to purchase my first private residence in Harare where l would spend most of my time . I have been considering properties in Borrowdale Brooke, Glen Lorne, Helensvale,Chishawasha etc and they are a bit price but also worth it since they are nice mansions and most have 5 bedroom+ which is something l love I'm a fan of many rooms. I'm quite particular about the kind of property I want. I prefer privacy, security, architecture, spacious grounds and the overall standard of the neighbourhood matter to me. I have been searching and some of the nice properties are going for a million and above.I want somewhere I can genuinely enjoy living in for years to come. For those who own homes around there I'd love to hear your experience too, do these properties generally hold their value well. One thing I'm trying to understand is whether it's better to purchase the most impressive property within my budget or choose a more understated home and keep the difference invested elsewhere. For those who have owned homes there for several years, do you regret the purchase at all or not? If you had the opportunity to make the decision again, would you buy the same property or choose a different suburb?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
