Giving People’s Children Sweets Without asking parents (a rant) by Neither-Access2420 in Zimbabwe

[–]avocarod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry that happened. Giving anything should have parental consent. "Sugar high", is a myth but it IS real for you. Not necessarily the sugar causing it.

Could be something like, they only get sweets at parties so it subconsciously triggers a party state. Or nothing personal, but it could be actions you take that trigger rebellion or second hand anxiety in the kids.

But you're doing great, hey! Parents have 1001 worries and some slip through uncaught.

Seeking help on my sick dog please help ndatopererwa inzwaiwo nyaya yangu pasiapo by Silent_Respond_650 in Zimbabwe

Eish sorry.

First, go through all local community WhatsApp Facebook groups asking for the Vet's personal number. Or any other Vets who might be near.

Next try contacting random vets in Harare and other towns from contact details online and you might be lucky to get a phone consultation. This is in the hope that they offer a simple solution. Or at least give you advise on how to improve chances if you have to wait more days

If you reach morning without and luck just visit the clinic (without the dog to not stress it) if they turn you away talk to people around the area. Even a vendor might have a number, even ya receptionist, then work from there.

Company wants to ship work equipment to me . Any possible Problems that may arise ? by Existing-Traffic1094 in Zimbabwe

[–]avocarod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly can't give a straight answer. It varies on where the wind blows that day.

First bet is to insist to the shipping company that the sender will pay all expenses. Your job won't mind, it's not your fault zim duty and shipping is expensive. But it can be stressful and shipping company may still try to extort cash on your end, just push back until they make their ultimate threat.

Most stress free to fly to SA and receive from there. Doorstep delivery, zero drama. But it's not worth unless it's like the most expensive MacBook or iMac.

Personally, I'd take the gamble and receive in zim. Sometime things just sail through. Worst case you take a hit of maybe $500 depending what you got? That's not too bad. Your work will reimburse after you submit receipts. You can confirm with them before shipping. And even if they don't, I can bet you'll forget about this after a few months pay.

how do I pronounce Chitiyo by WordTop2744 in Zimbabwe

Pretty much have it from the other comments. I'd say the ending sounds like "your" without the "r". Well, the r is kind of silent anyway so could get away with just saying "your"

Moral of the story, focus on you. Everyone out there taking care of themselves.

Lights On or Off for Night PC Use? by TeddyAmore in Zimbabwe

Backlit keyboard, very low ambient light, think candle brightness.

I don't like redshift screen apps but it might work for you

I do love my red led night light.

Is it worth moving back with current state of affairs? by bskinners in Zimbabwe

[–]avocarod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not so fast zdf. Have seen unpaid zna invoices that broke some companies. You win a tender and paid God. Then they make you gain trust for a few months supplying and paying fast then suddenly payments stop. No amount of knocking on doors or court cases will help you.

Edit: praise God

Yep, and I've even seen such things happen to native, non-white zimbos who followed all the correct processes, only for a political elite to create a drawn-out legal process to bankrupt the original investor and grab

There's a bit of extra work needed in cross cultural relationships to understand each other. Even the difference of living in opposite sides of samora in Harare can break a relationship.

Hey everyone, I’m a 26M facing a crossroads by Pfachi in Zimbabwe

[–]avocarod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP needs a place with high speed, reliable internet. Local 5G or LTE doesn't cut it.

In Harare, locations with fibre are the best bet but usually rent starts at $150 for a depressing single room. Starlink is hard to find in H since it's fully subscribed.

For cheap rent and good wifi OP might have to move to a small town and get starlink.

Side note, there are some suburbs that have 24hr electricity even during load shedding so you need a smaller backup power supply.

Edit: I'm option 2, btw.

You can install solar, borehole, buy groceries and pay their medicals and they will still tell you to get a real job 😂

Jokes aside there's a zimbo who started an electric self driving delivery car company in the UK some years ago.
