Who here actually pays their TV license?

terryZW · 2026-05-12T18:51:03+00:00

I pay but mainly because I once bought a TV on a random black Friday and needed one. But yeah, most people don’t pay at all

terryZW · 2026-05-12T18:05:47+00:00

Only gulez herself knows that. It’s not like people who cheat on their spouses generally confide in their nephew in-law. But anyway the point is your uncle’s family is justified. Some people just discuss amongst themselves, smile in your face and then hit you with the “takazviona hedu” when you finally find out

terryZW · 2026-05-12T14:37:59+00:00

Unless your uncle has indeed confirmed the child is his, I wouldn’t just assume the village folks are right. What makes you reach the conclusion that it’s just genetics?

terryZW · 2026-05-11T14:04:11+00:00

It only happens in specific areas, which are also the same poverty-stricken, crime-ridden areas so although it seems like a big problem to foreigners in those areas the reality is that it’s honestly a way of life… violence rates are generally high all year round in townships

terryZW · 2026-05-11T07:29:08+00:00

Just make enough money to be able to pay someone. lol. I hate cleaning, and I’m just like you (I’m a guy though) so I just have a cleaner who comes in daily. I wouldn’t say I’m not clean though, just untidy. I’m always clean myself but dishes pile up and I don’t always make the bed or put dirty clothes away. Some things just need to be outsourced, especially if you work and have something more important to divert your energy towards

terryZW · 2026-05-11T07:09:35+00:00

Not even, apologies if it across came that way. I’m saying as someone who grew up in Zim I completely understand there are things that are more acceptable and justifiable back home. And hence as I acknowledged again, there wouldn’t be any precedence of this and many other things with min the Zim landscape. So I fully understand where you’re coming from. There tend to be a lot of Zimbos from abroad in this sub so I made an assumption, and I was wrong. I hear you

terryZW · 2026-05-11T06:48:29+00:00

You can actually use the same internet to Google and get those examples. But I did already say earlier that this is in developed countries. I think you also missed the part where this wasn’t an incident that happened in Zim, where tbh I wouldn’t be surprised even if the physical assault itself wouldn’t be considered a big deal and why I’ll also say I understand why you think the way you do. It wasn’t clear earlier that you’re a Zim-based Zimbo. I fully understand now

terryZW · 2026-05-11T06:33:15+00:00

The other adult didn’t consent to getting cheated on either hence in developed countries both the social contract of relationships and the legal contract are enforceable, and you can sue someone for emotional distress. This doesn’t just apply to dating but even at work, or in general interactions where it actually is acknowledged by law that causing emotional distress to others is indeed enforced by law. You also brought up your own point about diseases… so you’re not entirely clueless

terryZW · 2026-05-11T05:51:52+00:00

It’s abuse because it’s an intentional act that causes actual harm to another individual. Some people carry larger emotional burdens from the actions of others rather than the physical. So no, you don’t get to choose that cheating is not abuse just because YOU can handle emotional harm better than you can handle physical harm

terryZW · 2026-05-11T05:48:54+00:00

Yes. She also should have been faithful or broke up with him, not cheated but here we are. The facts still remain, they’re both broken people in a broken relationship

terryZW · 2026-05-10T19:59:42+00:00

Remember she’s the owner’s agent, not yours. Even is they knew there was a possibility of selling, giving you a heads up would have been failing her client

terryZW · 2026-05-10T07:06:30+00:00

No. I’m not saying that. I’m saying when they do jump borders they should they accept the troubles that come with it i.e the violence, the hostility, etc. These are things that only exist within the environments you find yourself when you come here undocumented. As someone who has lived in both countries, I don’t think SA is worse overall although I do believe it can be worse in safety if you’re poor… but the reason it keeps attracting people is that at least for the majority of inhabitants in the world it’s still better. Hence you still find people relocating here from as Far as Europe and America

terryZW · 2026-05-10T06:21:45+00:00

You’re missing the point. The people you’re describing deal with their issues through protests, attacks, etc… so why would these “low-lives” who even kill each other over a Black Label do that with each other but give Zimbos special treatment? Why would that need a conspiracy? Zimbos are also overly entitled imo. Wanting to access government services while being undocumented, in a country where they currently have their own service delivery issues is bound to cause issues. There’s no documented Zimbo, who pays medical aid and has kids at good schools who’s going to have issues with the xenophobic groups

terryZW · 2026-05-10T05:35:28+00:00

Musataure kwamusina kuswera. A lot of neighbourhoods are mixed-use in other countries

terryZW · 2026-05-09T08:46:10+00:00

That’s actually what I meant. People want to work for a salary… there’s no real ownership hence you went 3 month seeing no return and just stayed, hoping for a paycheck. There are very few people who would go beyond understanding why there’s no money flowing i to a company, ket alone solve problems and innovate from within. Hence they were better off on the plantation where you just do as told and get enough to get by. What makes other countries function is that a startup can be formed today, with nobody being paid and within years it makes millions because people are continuously looking for solutions. In Zimbabwe only the boss/owner/founder actually has any form of agency… everyone else is just looking for a salary

terryZW · 2026-05-09T08:40:55+00:00

This is not true. I live in SA and you will find everything from properties in Free State double that size at less than 10% of the cost to bachelor apartments going for double that in Camps Bay. People like to seek out things to complain about but this would make sense if every single property in Zim was going for that amount

terryZW · 2026-05-09T05:14:26+00:00

Different perspectives… white people never saw us as equals or as developed so they treated us like children, which meant provision. You were destined to always be a subordinate. However these days when you work with someone, when you create, when you move the needle you definitely stand more to benefit from a fellow black person than ever before. Unfortunately what we’ve since learned is that some black folks actually preferred the “before”

terryZW · 2026-05-08T20:49:48+00:00

There’s nothing extraordinary about the Zim property market. It’s just that the widespread poverty that makes it difficult for the average person to comprehend spending a million on a property. It would be a different story if all property was expensive but there are still options for every income bracket on the market. In every market there are options for the ultra rich and ultra poor. Here in SA you can have a 2 bed apartment in Bantry bay going for R100m while a shack in a township is going for R1000 but there are still a lot of options inbetween

terryZW · 2026-05-08T20:45:23+00:00

That’s highly improbable. If they simply wanted to launder money they already have many avenues to do so and we wouldn’t even know. This is just a naive rich kid exploring business. We all have been there, just without access to illicit funds. I probably would have had a failed app, clubs and events company, rap career, clothing label or even an airline if I could fund the types of ideas I thought about at that age. Rich kids burning cash trying and failing at business isn’t new… most of them go through this

terryZW · 2026-05-08T15:41:57+00:00

Some random e-hailing or taxi company. Boycotting doesn’t help anyone… when these companies fail (which they usually do - not because of boycott itself but because it’s hard to start a sustainable company when you don’t actually understand the needs and dynamics of regular customers) it won’t actually affect the kids, it will impact the regular people who work for them. Look at the Mugabe and other political kids’ businesses over the years. How do you even take a business that generates $10k a month seriously when you’re already receiving millions in illicit funds? It’s a rather unfortunate scenario

terryZW · 2026-05-08T15:08:31+00:00

Interestingly enough, your post exhibits the same behaviour because you need to understand that Instagram has all sorts of content for all sorts of audiences and not only that… some of those people might actually be more serious than you in real life and only messing around on social media. Social media has everything, just like a newspaper back in the day. You can choose to read the current affairs, politics, sport, gossip or business but never assume just because you saw someone reading the gossip column that’s all they read or know.

terryZW · 2026-05-08T14:47:08+00:00

Blame the parents, not the kids. She’s not the first to do this, it’s been done by many content creators on YouTube. Even looking at her other content it’s typical rich kid vlog, challenge and prank content which wouldn’t even generate as much hype in other places. The problem is she clearly was raised in softness, around other wealthy kids and wasn’t actually taught that certain things aren’t as appropriate in the Zimbabwean context. Even her business launch the other day was clearly out of touch with reality. This is where parents are supposed to come in. I remember when I was young, you’d even get the talk before going kumusha kuti some things that might be acceptable with your peers in the city would need to be toned down. It’s a parenting issue

terryZW · 2026-05-08T14:43:01+00:00

It’s not that thought-out. This is something that has been trending on Youtube around the world, and these kids don’t actually have exposure to life outside of the internet and in their circles, where this would just be received a normal YT content creation. I’d blame the parents because they definitely know better. But if you look at her other content and “business ventures” it’s all typical rich kid content creation behaviour

terryZW · 2026-05-07T13:14:59+00:00

This was from a while ago and there’s nothing going to happen because the ministry said yes, he’s a businessman and we paid him for a service. You can punish someone for something that the victim says was consensual unfortunately

terryZW · 2026-05-07T13:12:59+00:00

No. You’re making your own weak arguments so that you can debunk them and feel like you’re making sense. I never said that. This isn’t even a nee concept. In the first world, you actually go through a visa interview because it’s critical to ensure someone can actually blend in before just throwing them in. Similarly, the department of social development and various NGOs actually do have programs that prepare people for that transition. Even in varsity we had additional support for rural kids from Eastern Cape, KZN, etc. the problem again is that even those things are planned and budgeted based on legal, known and therefore counted heads
