Yesterday on the A127, two ambulances, two police cars and a fire engine responded within minutes to an accident involving ordinary motorists. It reminded me how painfully avoidable some deaths on Zimbabwean roads are. Leadership is measured in lives saved, not wealth displayed.
A grown man writing a dissertation on a woman’s holidays, wardrobe and alleged sponsors is genuinely one of the most embarrassing things I’ve seen.
As long as she keeps posting like this, she is desperate for attention. She wants you to see the lifestyle she is funding with money from the highest bidder, but you will never see her posting the man paying the bills.
From January to December, she is travelling to expensive places, wearing designer outfits, eating at fancy restaurants and showing off a lifestyle her own income cannot explain. Ask her where the money comes from, and suddenly, she becomes an “independent woman.”
Independent from what? Because some of these women are being financially maintained by men old enough to be their fathers, or even their fathers’ classmates. They sell you the dream of independence while hiding the people financing their lifestyle.
The outfits are on display, the holidays are documented, and the money is being spent, but the source of income is always a secret. They want the attention that comes with looking rich, but they never want the questions that come with explaining how they got there.
X brings together people who would never interact in real life. But proximity is not equivalence. Having access to someone’s voice doesn’t make you their equal in intellect, character, values or lived experience. Sometimes, the only thing you have in common is the internet.
