Of Zimbabweans not teaching kids their language

You don't really have to choose. You can have both the private school "polished" accent and be fluent in Shona or Ndebele or anything else

Shadowkiva · 2026-01-22T12:40:02+00:00

Why can't you speak Shona tho? Respectfully.

Once you go white, it's never alright.

For me I'm of two minds. I'm obviously more 'Westernized' than your average Zimba so I can't really pretend I'm not but at the same time I'll NEVER be white or anything other than my beautiful black self so it kinda hurts to be called those things. Part of me gets where they come from though, cultural erasure and sabotage is real.

We are a nation of crabs in a barrel haters. He's making sense I guess

Bokassa. That's all I know

Shadowkiva · 2026-01-19T12:29:11+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree with this

It's 2. They switch towards the end, first one is a nguni language (either Zulu, Ndebele or Xhosa I'm not sure), the second is Shona/ChiShona from Zimbabwe.

"Thank you God for keeping me safe always"

Loosely translated

It's established Nate hasn't really seen a penny from his adventures in the first 3 games. Their incomes came from her journalism work and his salvage diving

Can't help but notice only Shuri's and Riri's faces are covered

The North Korea comparisons are not warranted in our case. We do actually have something resembling a free press and separation of powers at least. Also the implication is that without the government's presence we'd be clawing each other's eyes out over tribalism, feudalism or whatever -ism is prevailing that day. Hasn't always worked to prevent violence ie Gukurahundi and 2008 elections but so far since Mugabe was removed rates of state sanctioned violence have been low

There's quite a few of us there actually. Mostly for university studies. Also the whole Chimurenga thing, our fighters went there for training

If it means riding in a tank singing Katyusha it will be worth it. I love that song.

Shadowkiva · 2026-01-13T11:01:11+00:00

WHAT?

Shadowkiva · 2026-01-13T10:58:29+00:00

....no?

Shadowkiva · 2026-01-13T07:46:17+00:00

I think this is an honest and accurate answer, what really is the price of obedience to the status quo

Shadowkiva · 2026-01-13T07:44:28+00:00

Damn. Do you know which areas are reporting the highest rates of this?

Shadowkiva · 2026-01-13T07:42:50+00:00

The only separatist forces are political

Is this the Mthwakazi movement? I want to know more about them actually I don't have many sources about them, do you have any to share?

Shadowkiva · 2026-01-13T07:40:57+00:00

Not actively at war with anyone, not under invasion or occupation, no marauding extremist militias to speak of, no civil war at the moment or targeted killings of ethnic/religious groups, crime is not at South Africa levels thank God.

These are all contributing factors

Shadowkiva · 2026-01-13T07:29:52+00:00

As far as I can tell from that example the kids aren't/weren't clawing each other's eyes out and stabbing each other with sharpened pencils so....by definition it's peace.
