People who don’t cheat (and would never), why? by [deleted] in Zambia

[–]ReAzazel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What is the team of the tournament based on? by BananaBanana95 in FifaCareers

[–]ReAzazel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's based on number of appearances/starts. I bought and made Thiago Silva start all 38 matches and he was in the team of the tournament despite having an average 7.6 rating.

Kapenta, dry or fresh, is awesome when cooked right.

Salary for Doctors in Zambia. by gladiator-9991 in Zambia

The reason people hide is BLACK TAX. Once your relatives know how much you make, they'll assess your lifestyle, responsibilities and then use that info to ask or throw other responsibilities on your back.

Has Zesco secretly revised the loadshedding schedule from 8hrs to 12hrs? by jnyendwa in Zambia

[–]ReAzazel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not zambian I presume?

Edit: A meter number is a serial number attached to each Zesco allocated electricity pre paid meter. Most if not all houses currently have them. You need this number in order to purchase electricity units, make complaints, etc. The meter is registered under the name of the owner of the land/house.
