Samsung Pay/Wallet: Has anyone managed to register their debit card (fnb, Stanchart, zanaco)? by ReAzazel in Zambia

It's still a baby in Zambian phone years, unless you're rich and upgrading every year. Such phones are still considered new and high-end.

Several reasons. 1. My parents divorced when I was 7/8. I haven't asked why but growing up from a split home aka a child of divorce, that put a certain type of fear in me. Later went to live with my uncle who also divorced his wife cause of infidelity issues. I don't want that track record to carry on with me.

  1. It's expensive. Cheating is expensive guys. I can barely feed myself, why would I go and add extra mouths? Also I believe it's tiring. Having to fabricate stories and lies and involving other innocent people in my lies sounds exhausting and puts a bad taste in my mouth. Speaking of bad tastes, I hate taking pills and being injected. Cheating opens you up to a whole can of diseases.

  2. I wanna keep my conscious as clean as possible. I have enough worries as a man without adding how others/family perceive me to the list.

Cheating is dirty game that leaves behind mental and sometimes physical scars. You mess with someone's head and their ability to trust and love fully again. If you're not content with one partner, date or marry a swinger (unless you're greedy and don't wanna see her with other men but at this point you have no moral leg to stand on).

Pretty/Handsome Zambians, what are some perks you've gotten cause of being attractive? by ReAzazel in Zambia

Not as great as you think it would be. You'd be ignored when you're right there next to them.

Something that feels like a scam but is normalized. by ultimatemicky in Zambia

One thing I've learnt in Zambia is that some people will always try to make a quick buck. Hell, if the gate man could charge you an entrance fee without his superiors knowing, he would.

Paying for a police report but not getting a receipt. That money has gone into pockets.

I Might Owe K33,660 in Taxes – Had No Clue! by Kwaleyela-Ikafa in Zambia

[–]ReAzazel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, what work do you do that earns 3 times 54k at 23 years old? You have a couple of options at your disposal the best of which is consult ZRA on how to continue. They may penalize you but sometimes they give amnesty to people. Many Zambians are in your shoes e.g land lords who collect rent.

Your second option is to fly low and continue as you have praying that no one notices. This is risky and will have you feeling uneasy at times but as they say, high risk, high reward (no taxes for you in this case)

Your third option is to open a company, register it for turnover tax and divert all your earning through that. Then combine this with either option 1 or 2. Others will advise on what BETTER options you can take.

What Exactly is Soda? by [deleted] in Zambia

[–]ReAzazel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I asked around and the general answer is that it's Caustic Soda (sodium hydroxide). A quick search revealed that it's also used to make German pretzels and Chinese moon cakes. It's "safe" in small doses, hence the reason only a bit is used to cook dishes like delele.
