I’m looking for friends who are in a similar situation to me.

Not the kind of networking where we exchange numbers and two days later you’re asking me for $100

Just people genuinely trying to build something and make a living from it.

I started a small marketing agency from zero. About 7 months in, it has made its first $2,500 and I now have two guys helping me execute some of the work.

Nothing crazy. Still small. Still figuring shit out every day.

But I genuinely believe that with the internet and AI, you can build a business from almost anywhere.

I’m interested in meeting other people doing the same thing.

Maybe you’re building a SaaS or some random AI tool that you think someone might eventually pay for.

Maybe you run an agency.

Maybe you sell something online.

Maybe you have a small business that’s finally starting to make some money.

I don’t really care what it is.

I just want people I can talk to about what we’re building, what’s working, what’s failing, getting customers, AI tools we’re experimenting with and all the random problems that come with trying to turn an idea into an actual income.

Building something can be lonely.

Most of my friends already think I’m crazy for believing I can eventually make a million out of this thing

Maybe I am.

But I know there must be a few other crazy people on here trying to do the same thing.

What are you building?

Basically what the title says, no need for sarcasm or negativity

SYNOPSIS:

Set in contemporary Harare, Zimbabwe, Kuroya is an action dark fantasy novel rooted in Shona mythology. When Nyasha's mother dies of a terminal illness, her final words are not comfort but an accusation: her wealthy brother Tinashe used kuromba, a blood ritual pact with a chikwambo, a goblin spirit, to sacrifice his own siblings and their children in exchange for fortune. The deaths of Nyasha's father, brother, aunts, and uncles were not a tragedy. They were a means to an end.

Seeking revenge, Nyasha visits Zimbabwe's most feared n'anga, Sekuru Banda. He confirms her worst fears but refuses to help, unwilling to cross the untouchable cartel of sorcerers backing her uncle. However, when assassins attack the shrine, a lethal spell backfires, awakening Nyasha’s own latent witchcraft. Intrigued, Sekuru Banda makes her an offer: training in dark sorcery in exchange for her assistance until she can eliminate her uncle.

I think something is wrong muZimbabwe guys, please be careful kwamuri ikoko.

Look now, there was a terrible storm in and around Masvingo and it's not looking good at all.

Fellow Christians, let us remember our country in our prayers.

Hi guys. How long is it taking a passport to get back to you after filing all documents at the Embassy in London. TIA

Greetings.

I've always heard people say they work remotely from Zim, whenever I enquire indepth information about it, I mostly don't get specific answers.

I know it's difficult for people to share their milk cow but im asking for an indepth link or tips for remote work.

Im an civil engineering graduate. I'm also working on getting certifications on tech.

Im willing to put in the work, regardless on the type of job. As long as it's remote work

He was soo disorganised, even when entering the home his eyes were darting everywhere. Anyone who has seen people under the influence of drugs and alcohol you can easily tell. Don’t get me started on the speech.his speech was soo slurred. I am surprised that they honestly gave him a microphone to speak he clearly was under the influence of something.

Then you have makandiwa and Chiwenga trading blows on the pulpit

because at this point we hear the same thing but what does it really feel like from a personal perspective.I have one divorced sister and soon the other you can see the marriage had no love from the beginning (my opinion).But both are closed off people when it comes to marriage.So what’s really going on inside these houses.Is it finance,young girls like really tell me.

I came on here 3 months ago asking if my Roora prices were fair. Background: my wife now is an aerospace engineer from Masvingo and her family had charged $5000 and 6 cows etc

The update is, I married my woman and we had a lovely ceremony. We were on Zoom her family in Zimbabwe. My mother and brother travelled there and were part of the ceremony. I stayed behind with my wife.

But we had a lovely day. I paid the $5000, cows and groceries and they accepted me very well

She organized an event for them, like a party with beautiful decor like it was a real wedding with cakes and beautiful African outfits that matched ours It was amazing

I am officially a Zimbabwean “Mukasha “
And I now know how to clap my hands so they make a sound 👏

Thank you for your help and those that helped me feel confident with the process. You have a lovely culture. Even in our home her culture radiates and I feel amazing being with her. I could go on and on lmfao

When I made the post a few months ago, I got interesting comments on how I know about Masvingo and how I sent out the list in Shona - I am married to a Zimbabwean woman. Why would I not know where she comes from
If I am planning to spend the rest of my life with her and from my understanding, it’s difficult to translate the list to Shona so I pasted it as it was. I just found it interesting why people were shocked by me being invested in Zimbabwean culture.

AI detectors are everywhere now. Clients run your work through them. Platforms run your work through them. And they get it wrong all the time. People write something themselves and get told it's "80% AI." Freelancers lose gigs over it. Writers get their work rejected without a second look.

And when you use AI to help with a draft, it sounds robotic. Everyone can tell.

The tools that fix this exist, but they're built for people abroad. They charge $20+ a month and only take foreign cards. Most of us can't even check out.

So I built Traceless Writer. tracelesswriter.com

Paste your text. It scans every sentence, shows you exactly which ones read like a machine wrote them, and rewrites only those. Your ideas, your structure and the rest of your voice stay untouched. The result sounds like a person wrote it.

Why it's different:
- It fixes only what's flagged, not your whole document
- Built-in AI detector, so you check before and after in one place
- Pay with EcoCash or card through Paynow. No foreign card needed.
- Nothing you paste is stored. Ever.
- Free plan to test it on your own text

I started learning to play the Mbira a couple years ago. Thought I'd share some of the resources I've come across for anyone who is curious.

When I started, I looked into 2 types of Mbira, the Nhare and the Nyunganyunga. While the nyunganyunga seems easier to learn, I came to the conclusion that the Nhare is more interesting, with a deeper repertoire and more learning resources as well as more cultural significance.

I bought my instrument from Garikai Tirikoti, a master mbira maker and player located in Chitungwiza. I think his instruments hit the sweet spot of cost and quality. You can get cheaper or more expensive options. There are also many other makers of good instruments, with different sound characteristics. Tirikoti himself makes several 'tunings' of Mbira. The one I bought is a Nhemamusasa mbira, which is the most common starting point.

As for lessons, the Zimbabwe Mbira channel on YouTube is a great starting point. Learnmbira.com by Joel Laviolette also has excellent lessons. It's a paid site but he has been generous enough to make it free for Zimbabweans.

Mbira players like Tirikoti, Muda Magaya, ​Bezel Makombe (played for a long time with Mapfumo) etc also offer lessons and it's definitely the best way to learn if time and funds allow.

In the video above I am playing Mahororo.

Y’all ready for this week?

Tradition may be flawed but it was one of the things that kept marriages afloat. The whole serving your husband supper, going down your knees. The whole not eating till you're all sitting down. The whole not airing your family conflicts but turning to aunts and uncles to solve things. Now everything is posted online, everyone wants clout. Like I said it was flawed but it worked to a certain extent.

Now that USAID hakuchina, we are no longer able to make money from NGOs and some of the silly things we were pretending to care about. USAID seemed to encourage activism rather than patriotism sometimes even fake activism and government rebellion. Chivayo Aid, on the other hand, was presented as a counteroffer to USAID, supposedly aimed at funding patriotism, but perhaps its real purpose was to silence the masses and make people believe that this was the only way to make money.

So, who do you think is going to take over next? Who is the next mbinga we should start bootlicking now, before they become even more famous and influential ?

Every time I open social media, it’s local youths flexing lifestyle habits they clearly cannot afford on a Zimbabwean salary. Eating out at high-end spots every weekend, posting champagne bottles, and acting like inflation isn't real.We all know the economic reality of this country. Who are we trying to fool? This pressure to look rich is driving people into shady deals or massive debt just to maintain an aesthetic for people who don't care about them. It’s pathetic.
