This is an insult. We ask for PPE, a safe and functional work environment and a liveable wage and this is the response. Absolutely disgusting. @KusoteraTM @drjaytee87

Today, we are very excited to launch a new weekly publication. It’s called The Continent, and it brings together the best of our reporting from journalists across Africa. It’s a little different.

My close friends know that I am an avid mountain biker. I also happen to believe that #Zimbabwe has a unique opportunity to embrace cycling. Our climate and relatively flat cities are perfect for cycling. We need new policies which will encourage people to ride 4 work & play.

This only works if we all get involved, but if we can harness our resources we can fix our city.

Govt could pay 1000 doctors a salary of US$1,300 per month for the next year if it chose to divert the US$16 million it wants to use to buy luxury cars for ministers to healthcare.
We have the money, our priorities are just wrong. Two months no doctors in hospitals.

Zimbabwe loses 300,000 Ha of tree cover every year according to the Forestry Commission.
These need to be put back - in our country it is not a matter of converting grasslands to forest, or of western bla bla, but simply of putting the right trees back where they belong.
So remember when Ethiopia planted 350 million trees in a single day? Turns out this may not have been such a good idea - which would have been obvious, if the western institutions pushing this mass tree-planting had bothered to ask local researchers. mg.co.za/article/2019-10-31-…

At Avenues Clinic, @PoliceZimbabwe is preventing @DMagombeyi from leaving the clinic to travel to South Africa to seek specialist medical treatment in defiance of a High Court order granted Tuesday.

High Court granted us permission to march to parliament. We are marching now with a police escort to keep everyone safe.

Please join us for a prayer vigil at Parirenyatwa hospital at 6pm tonight. Peter could be me. He could be you. Let's make a stand together. #BringBackPeter

1. The abduction & forced disappearance of #BringBackDrPeter is another deep wound on the conscience of the nation. Here is a young man with scarce skills chosen to represent the rights & interests of his fellow professionals. For performing this legitimate role, he is abducted.

I raise my cappuccino to this man @nickdeswardt and all those who helped restore @BallantynePark into a fun natural playground and community hub. Taking action and making #Harare a place we want to live. 💚 Great launch this morning, thank you!

Protecting Zimbabwe’s #wildlife takes more than preserving just the superstars. We also need to look out for the small creatures, and the #habitats they all depend on. #WorldWildlifeDay
My pics of 🇿🇼wildlife (great & small). All from last month

This video is a recreation of the first ever motion picture, created by E. Muybridge in 1878 at Stanford to study a horse’s gallop, but where every frame is a prime number with 3100 digits - the first prime motion picture 😄
Here's how it was made: lbatalha.com/blog/prime-moti…
