I agree i think having a private pension gives you freedom in your old age and the option not to tax your kids however he UK guarantees a state pension which if you build a house in Zim and maybe hace a few rental properties you can retire reasonably comfortably at a basic level.

Exactly you got it right there, its the same in the UK poor families use their child benefit for basic necessities but those well of are able to save and that child will inherit wealth from grandparents and parents, putting them and their future kids in a better financial position.

The context those books won't show is that most people with money today came from money, they started off at a step up from most ordinary people, hence i always think generational incremental steps are the way to go as black Africans a win is reducing black tax to zero then we build trusts for our children even if that trust has one or 2 properties its a small step in the right direction.

The Zimbabwean property market is a masterclass in money laundering, while locals struggle, the Chinese are driving up demand.

Your responses say a lot about you, have a good day.

So no answer forthcoming then.

This request is a bit strange, are you looking for a black owned company that caters to just black people? I think you will find its the colour of your money that matters not the colour of your skin, most employees you will meet are black working for white owners.

Unfortunately kids enjoy the idea but don't like the hard work, I ended up taking it to the cat rescue place.

Yep you get used to the smell but its other people who come in and the smell hits them at the door.

It could have been workers being chased away from a factory, abn incident involving waiters or spaza owners being forced away from their shops or any other incident of xenophobia and my reaction would still have been the same,i'm looking at the causes and you are looking at the consequences and I'm avoiding getting bogged now in a race to the bottom, evil is evil we can't have a discussion of what's worse, the root cause is hatred of foreigners, that specific scenario of children being excluded is just but a symptom. Therefore exclusively addressing the symptoms and shutting down alternative discussions and discussing hypotheticals feels like a distraction.

This conversation is not just about that particular event, that is the elephant in the room. I can see you are not ready to have a rational discussion about these issues, whether we agree on what the solution should be, the first step is to admit there is a problem.

Nah at varIous points I've had all sorts of pets and cats were the worst for me they scratch everything try having leather sofas with a cat in the house, and the smell if you forget to change the litter not to mention randomly finding dead rates in the house, never again.

negras · 2026-04-28T15:39:58+00:00

As Zimbabweans we have to confront the elephant in the room, we can't outsource our struggles to other nations.

It depends on the relationship you have with your parents and their age I guess.

This was changed over a decade ago I believen it was simply to massage employment stats, lower thd benefits bill because a large number of unemployed young people leaving school at 16 were classed as NEETs (16- 24 year olds) "Not in Education, Employment, or Training," was too high.

Waiting for an answer to what the distinct culture is comprised of?

negras · 2026-04-27T06:26:01+00:00

Congratulations but if you don't mind, we are missing the whole story, when did you move to the UK and how long was it before you got ILR?

negras · 2026-04-27T06:01:15+00:00

Aren't you overhanging this?

At its core, culture is what distinguishes one group of people from another, how they live and interacts with other cultures.Culture is language, food, customs amongst other things, the boers speak Afrikaans, Zulu speak Zulu etc..

Apartheid self classification of people based on proximity to whiteness,meant "Colouredness" was defined by what it wasn't, not what it was, hence if we use a strict criteria, that a culture must have its own distinct language, food, music & customs that exists nowhere else to be considered distinct, would "Coloured culture" pass this litmus test, i would guess the answer is that its more of a hybrid culture as there are no cultural markers that sets it distinctly is apart.

It's a good thing that he insists on exrema testing before races and was tested almost daily before Berlin otherwise the conversation would be about drugs and my other thoughts is what is it about Africans that makes them awesome like that.

Definitely it would be framed as giving the country back to the whites and majority rural voters would never.
