  1. As a diasapora, the more you give the more you dig your own grave, only people you should send money is your parents and siblings. Look after yourself and your mental health.

  2. A big problem is the misconception of foreign kife in Zimbabwe, a lot of people here especially those who aren't well educated about foreign life think it's rosy and green abroad, but it's not so. With cost of living rising in many countries and the harsh discrimination and difficulty in adapting it to a different life style, it can be a hard shift. I think it's a bit better for us Gen Zs since we got an opportunity to learn how to adapt and learn

  3. Can someone please tell me where this elusive foreign aid goes. How do western countries sanction a smaller country and prevent them from trading and blocking the sale of life-saving essentials but give them aid?? In what form does this elusive AID come in. Who is it given to? What is it for? Cause it’s definitely not for the citizens. How do you give aid to a country when you can’t feed or house all your people?

  4. I did my tertiary degree in Russia, that’s where I met my Zimbabwean friends. As a South African I truly understand why some of them cross illegally into other countries. I used to think late President Mugabe was the problem until I understand how Western Sanctions has contributed to their poor economic growth.

    Kiki can visit his brother in Cape Town and experience life outside Zimbabwe so that she can be mentally ready to live abroad. It’s not easy my 6 years in Russia as a foreigner was not easy. I struggled a lot to make friends and school was chowing me. But I survive. We strive forward in life 💪🏽🤞🏾

  5. It is very important for all of us to learn to look after ourselves very well before taking on responsibilities that aren't even ours. For instance, I get it when one looks after his or her parents, but the rest of the extended family should not be on the list. Also, it must not be too regular, please.
