RANT Denied tubal ligation without "my husband"
I went for a tubal ligation appointment today and was told I either need to bring āmy husbandā or choose a temporary contraceptive method instead. Apparently, being a 32-year-old adult with one child does not make me adult enough to make permanent decisions about my own body.
I was told that āwomen change their minds,ā so somehow a man needs to be involved in a decision that affects my life. This was the second doctor by the way. Why are doctors in Zimbabwe like this?

Discussion A 24-Year-Old Student Allegedly Took Over $1 Million From a Bank. What Does That Say About the Bank?
I've been following the reports and discussions around the alleged case of a 24-year-old university student siphoning more than $1 million from CABS, and one question keeps coming to mind:
If the allegations are true, is the biggest story really the age of the suspect?
People seem shocked that a student could pull off something of this scale, but history shows that major security breaches are often discovered by young people, interns, or individuals with limited formal experience. The real issue is usually not who found the vulnerability, but why the vulnerability existed in the first place.
For someone to allegedly move such a large amount of money, wouldn't that suggest failures at multiple levels?
Internal controls,transaction monitoring,IT security
,risk management audit processes and Executive oversight
Banks spend millions on security systems, compliance departments, and fraud detection. If a single individual was able to exploit weaknesses for an extended period, that raises serious questions about the systems that were supposed to detect unusual activity.
At the same time, if someone knowingly exploited a vulnerability for personal gain, that should still carry consequences. Finding a weakness and reporting it is one thing; using it to take money is another.
What interests me most is the broader lesson:
Does this case expose the dangers of weak banking controls, or is it simply an example of an exceptionally skilled individual taking advantage of a rare opportunity?

News We recently launched Enda ā a Zimbabwean mobility & logistics app šæš¼
Weāve recently launched Enda, an app built specifically for the Zimbabwean market.
The idea is simple: one app for multiple mobility and logistics needs ā rides, executive & luxury trips, express delivery, parcels, cargo, towing, bulky water and more.
Weāre still early, and our goal is to build something that genuinely works for Zimbabweans ā both customers looking for services and drivers/service providers looking for more opportunities.
Would love to hear from Zimbabweans here: what would make you choose a local mobility platform over the existing options?

Question First time back in Zimbabwe since I was 3 ā looking for travel advice from Harare
Hi everyone,
Iām travelling to Zimbabwe in October. I was actually born in Zimbabwe but left when I was around three years old, so this will be my first time back since then.
Iāll be mainly based in Harare, but Iām very happy to travel around the country while Iām there. Iād really appreciate recommendations for things to see and do, both close to Harare and further away.
Iām interested in a mix of wildlife, scenery, history, food, nightlife and anything that feels genuinely worth experiencing while Iām back.
Iām thinking about staying in either Avondale or Borrowdale when I'm not staying with family. Would you recommend one over the other for a visitor, and are there any particular hotels, restaurants or bars worth checking out?
A few other questions:
- InDrive seems to be a reliable way of getting around Harare. Will drivers generally accept longer-distance trips outside the city, or would I be better hiring a driver/car for day trips?
- Who would you recommend booking day trips or tours through?
- What are the best day trips from Harare?
- For places further away, what would you say is genuinely worth giving up a night or two in Harare for?
- Are there any tourist traps or places that aren't really worth the time/money?
- Any areas, scams, transport issues or other things I should be aware of?
- Any restaurants, bars, markets or less obvious places that visitors tend to miss?
Iām open to pretty much anything. Since itās my first time back since I was a child, Iād especially love recommendations from Zimbabweans about things that would give me a proper feel for the country rather than just ticking off the obvious tourist attractions.
Thanks in advance!

Question Money in Zim as a tourist
My daughter will be spending 3 months in Zimbabwe soon (we are from the UK).
I vaguely remember that when we visited in 2018 money was a bit complicated so we were doing some research - it looks like sheād be best served to take USD in small denominations, and set up Ecocash that she can add to from her UK bank account? Guessing sheāll need a Zim SIM card for that? Any advice gratefully received š

Information What if your favourite shops actually rewarded you for coming back
Weāve been building something for Zimbabwe and weād love to get your honest opinion.
Itās called Moro.
The idea is simple: we want to make loyalty programs actually work for local businesses and their customers.
Instead of collecting paper loyalty cards, forgetting how many points you have, or having businesses keep track of everything manually, Moro lets customers earn and manage rewards digitally.
If you're a business owner, would something like this actually help you retain customers?
Weāre building this locally and thereās still a lot to figure out, so weād rather get honest criticism now than build something nobody needs.
Tell us what you think. What would make you use it, what would put you off, and what would you change?
Weāre listening.

Visit Zimbabwe šæš¼ Questions around backpacking
Hey! I'm planning on backpacking Zimbabwe from Uganda (which is where I live and am from) and have a few questions regarding getting around and activities I'd like to do while I'm there (mostly hiking based) that I'm hoping you can help me with.
- To clarify, the Harare-Mutare passenger train line is actively running? How much does it cost? How can I get to Bulawayo from Harare and is the Bulawayo-Victoria Falls line actively running too?
- Are there any local hiking/outdoor groups/clubs based in Harare that organise hiking trips (day or multi-day) and other outdoor excursions that people can sign up to join? I'm not looking for a tour company. I'd love to be able to experience these activities with other people rather than booking my own solo experience (though I'm perfectly comfortable with this).
- As a young woman travelling solo, what things should I be mindful of when travelling through Zim?
Thank you in advance!

Discussion Marriage Is Scam But I Hope They Are Consistent With The Standard They Have Set
A 24 year marriage has ended in a dramatic High Court property dispute, with Caecilia Nyamutswa awarded the lionās share of the coupleās real estate after the court rejected an equal 50-50 split.
Caecilia was awarded 100% of the Colne Valley property, 60% of the Vainona property and a 12-acre plot in Shamva. The court found that she had made the greater direct financial contribution, including payments towards the properties and the childrenās school fees.
Her husband, pilot Cosmas Nyamutswa, who can no longer fly because of ill health, told the court that he had become a āhouse-husbandā, handling school runs and household responsibilities. He also argued that he had supported his wifeās career and contributed in other ways.
Despite losing the larger share of the property, Cosmas retains a Cessna aircraft, two boats, fishing equipment, welding equipment, a gold refining boiler, firearms and royalties from books he authored.
The court also dismissed his request for post-divorce medical aid maintenance and rejected several other claims.
The final settlement leaves Caecilia with most of the coupleās houses and land, while Cosmas retains valuable movable assets and his book royalties
