    So here I was enjoying my sleep ay 3.30am and my hubby nudges me to wake up and go to cook/bake scones for breakfast. He hates bread so I have to be a good dutiful wife and bake cakes/ scones etc.. I wanted to sleep some more but have no choice so off I go to the kitchen 😕

    I woke up 3am and could not go back to sleep.I kept on thinking of that ex combi driver who came to my house asking for food for his children. I kept on thinking did his kids eat yesterday? What about today what are they going to eat? My heart is heavy. #ZimbabweanLivesMatter

    Please ZESA can we have power at least one day a week during the day. We need to watch TV do ironing, bake, roast meat. Only just one day a week I beg you. Am on my knees. The kids are crying to watch catoons. People are now working up at 2am just to cook. Murivanhu vakaita sei?

    #Zesa diaries cont...So I did not wake up at 3am to bake those scones. I opened my eyes though at at that time but I was looking at the car keys. My beautiful, wonderful, clever, brilliant kids got me wheels as a birthday present. So what more can I ask? Baking can wait.

    My uncle in Zvishavane still does the same method of farming & not getting good harvests every year. I think farming methods in the rural areas should be revolutionalised.

    #LetstalkZimlife.. today I went to Econet Avondale to do cash out for some money that I had received via World Remit into my ecocash. I was told by some guy in a very condescending voice that they were not going to give me the money cos had no Id. Why when I had my phone & pin?

    Even man should have his DNA taken and the data stored so that when such cases arise the father is quickly identified.

    #LetstalkZimlife..So ladies let us stop allowing men to use us for their selfish desires & pleasures. Feminists where are you? Let's stop some of our well endowed sisters from twerking in front of crowds lets tell them that it's not dignified to do so. We should walk in dignity
