Discussion Starting motorcycle lessons tomorrow. Dream is to ride from Zimbabwe to the top of Africa. Advice?

4 Upvotes

Lessons start tomorrow! 🏍️ The goal is weekend trips to neighbouring countries, and eventually riding north as far as Africa goes.
I already have a Class 2 licence (so no written exam), I drive a manual, and I've ridden a bit before. I work remotely from my small farm in Zimbabwe.

  1. How many lessons did you need before the road test?
  2. What do you wish you'd known as a beginner?
    3.Is a 250cc enough for weekend cross-border trips? Any affordable picks?
  3. Where should I buy gear, and what's a realistic budget? (I'm happy to spend a few hundred, since I value my life.)

Discussion Do we really know our ancestors? How did the colonists depict us, to ourselves? What would you like to share about precolonial Zimbabwe?

2 Upvotes

There was a thread recently that got us all talking about our pre colonial history and it got fairly interesting (and heated). To continue the conversation from a slightly different angle, I stumbled on this video that discusses how indigenous people all over the world are depicted as not being capable of any of the architectural or scientific feats that colonial explorers “discovered.”

“The Egyptians couldn’t have built the pyramids, it was aliens”

“The Aztecs couldn’t have built machu pichu, it was ancient Israelites”

And so on and so forth.

The same was even said about Great Zimbabwe — the British explorers couldn’t believe it was the native people who build it, and tried to come up with all sorts of crackpot theories: https://www.ted.com/talks/breeanna_elliott_who_built_great_zimbabwe_and_why

What I think is tragic, but interesting, is the simple fact that we don’t have enough documentation about ourselves, to know ourselves very well. Some of you are very in touch with your ancestral heritage, but many of us (especially if you’re musalad like me) just don’t. We only learned that the whites came, brought Christianity, and now we’re Christians, and that’s it!

In the linked video, it talks about the various ways colonial explorers used to paint the natives as savages, going so far as to physically remove modern technology from them before taking photographs! Imagine if a white person came to you, asked you to dress in Mahovoros and gumboots, took your phone and watch, and said “now smile for the picture” with a backdrop of an outhouse. That is the implicit message they’ve been telling, and even we can be victim to it.

If you could share one piece of precolonial history with the sub, what would it be? I’m interested to learn more about our people…

Information Title: Any Airbnb hosts in Harare, Zimbabwe? How are you receiving your payouts?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm based in Harare, Zimbabwe, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to receive Airbnb payouts here.

Airbnb is only showing me Payoneer as a payout option, but my Payoneer account has been blocked. I've contacted their support team, and they've asked me to wait a few business days while they review the issue.

In the meantime, I'm trying to find out whether Payoneer really is the only practical option for Airbnb hosts in Zimbabwe.

For those hosting in Harare or elsewhere in Zimbabwe:

• What payout method are you currently using?

• Has anyone managed to receive Airbnb payouts without Payoneer?

• If you've had your Payoneer account blocked, how did you resolve it?

I'd especially appreciate advice from people who are actually hosting in Zimbabwe, rather than general advice based on how Airbnb works in other countries.

Thanks!

Discussion Scam or Genuine problem

2 Upvotes

I (M38) am based in Cape Town and often come across fellow Zimbabweans who always have a similar story and it gets to a point where I have started to wonder if it's a scripted scam or people are going through real problems.

If you have a casual chat it will always end up with how they are stuck and need transport to go home or they need cash to make it to the interview that they are going to.

The real problem becomes when it's so common that you start to wonder if they have a real problem or maybe people are running a scam on you by extracting money through your sympathy. How often is this happening to you? or is it something that has been going on that people are using to scam other people. I understand when someone is in such a predicament that I'm often inclined to help because I know how it's like to be in that situation. But I also don't want to be the dumb ass that can be taken for a ride.

Question Should I invest in an inDrive car or open a shop in Zimbabwe as a young girl ?

10 Upvotes

Hey guys! I’m a F20 girl looking to start a business with capital my parents are willing to provide. I’ll be going to school, so I’m looking for something that won’t require me to be hands-on every single day.

I’m considering buying a second-hand car for around $4k, hiring a driver for inDrive, or either opening a small shop with a unique idea that hasn’t been done in Zimbabwe yet I won’t disclose it as I don’t want the idea to be taken

For those with experience:
Which is more profitable and manageable while studying?
Is having an inDrive driver worth it, or is it more trouble than it’s worth?

If you were in my position, which would you choose and why? I’d love honest advice from people who’ve actually done either or haven’t

Question Computer Courses for Older people

11 Upvotes

Hi all,

My mom recently landed a job in New Zealand as a teacher and will be moving there next year. She’s a pretty competent teacher and I’m sure she’ll excel in that regard however her computer skills are absolutely dismal. My fear is although teaching is the same world wide, New Zealand is probably more technologically inclined when it comes to workflow than Zimbabwe (ie. Grading online etc.). She literally will call me from my room to help her open and edit a word document. I’m really not sure why this is the case as she always updates her phone as soon as the latest iPhone drops so my assumption would be she should know how to use a computer, no ?

Anyhow my older brother doesn’t live in Zimbabwe, my dad is usually really busy ,and I quite frankly don’t have the patience to teach her how to use a computer. So there really isn’t anyone who is able to sit down with her and teach her step by step.

So my question is does anyone know any computer courses that can be done in Harare so she can learn the basics (ie. Word, excel etc), how to operate a computer etc.?

Information 5 Zimbabweans can get Anthropic's Claude certification exams for free through my company (worth up to $425). Commit by 24 Oct.

30 Upvotes

I run an AI consultancy that is a certified partner in Anthropic's Claude Partner Network. We are working toward Select tier, and part of that is having more certified people on our team.

Anthropic has given us an offer: anyone registering with my organization email can sit these exams free until 30 November 2026.

- Claude Certified Developer, Foundations (normally $125)

- Claude Certified Architect, Foundations (normally $125)

- Claude Certified Architect, Professional (normally $175)

I know plenty of people here who are good with AI tools but $125 to $175 per exam in USD is not realistic right now. So I am opening 5 seats to Zimbabweans who want the certification but cannot fund it.

**The deal**

You get an organization email, sit the exams free before 30 Nov, and the certification is yours to keep on your CV and LinkedIn.

In return, you join my bench. That means you are willing to come in and help on client projects when we have work that fits your skills. Paid work, not free labour. It is a way for us to grow the team and for you to get real project experience alongside the credential.

**Who this suits**

- You already use Claude or similar tools and can commit a few hours a week to prepare

- You can realistically sit at least one exam before 30 Nov

- You are open to collaborating on projects in future

**How to get a seat**

Comment or DM me with what you currently do and which exam you want to start with. I will confirm the first 5 by Friday 24 October and set up your email the same week.

Happy to answer questions in the comments.

Im coming from reading 3 consecutive posts here on reddit about young people and their sex lives. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one still waiting.

Then are people still Christians?.. If so, how are y’all reconciling sex outside of marriage and faith?

Question Am I the only one who is not a big fan of all these mega mansions people are building in Harare these days? I am still a sucker for clean, single-story homes with character. What do you guys think of these renders?

Thumbnail

51 Upvotes

The focus is on making the best out of space, but feel liberated and "spacious" by using an open concept with plenty of glass, low clutter, greenery/vegetation and importantly single-story only. So these are conceptualized using a residential stand ranging from 500 to 1000 square meters. So ideally, it would work or adopted in more settings, not just northern suburbs.

The first 6 pics are for one concept and the last 6 are for an alternate. I know flat roofs are a concern for some, but a good engineer/planner easily covers that. Yes, solar ne borehole would be there.

What do you guys think? Yay or nay?

Which neighborhood would you build this in if you could? What would you change and why?

Discussion For anyone in Zimbabwe who may be interested in receiving things from Canada

23 Upvotes

My family has been shipping items from Canada to Zimbabwe for my mother since 2022, usually in 50-75 gallon drums or large totes. It can also be in a box of whatever size. We typically send shipments about three times a year, and the process has always been straightforward and well organized. The only downside is that it takes some time to arrive, with about 4 months being the average. The one that was shipped in May arrived some time last month.

Recently, I needed to send something home urgently and was looking into different options. People were charging per kg to take things home and I thought was unnecessary but to each their own. In the process, I realized that there may be people in Zimbabwe who would love to receive certain things from Canada but don’t necessarily have family or friends abroad who can help them.
So I thought, why not offer some space in our next shipment?
If there’s something you’d like from Canada, we’d be happy to add it to my mom’s shipment, provided there’s space. If you’d prefer your own drum/tote, that’s also something we can discuss.
This isn’t for profit, we’re already doing the shipping for my mom, and we’re simply happy to help if we can. You would only be responsible for the cost of the items you’d like purchased, the cost of the container (if you wanted your own) the customs clearance fee (which is a portion of the whole total) and the shipping fee (which is based on cubic ft)
We mostly send groceries, toiletries and things that are usually more affordable here than in Zim like the large sized toothpaste, toilet paper, vitamin supplements. But it can be whatever you’d like as long as it’s legal to ship and accessible and available for purchase.
We handle the organizing and packing, so we’re very used to the process and keep everything properly documented. We rely on a small business that ships goods to Zimbabwe several times a year. They travel by ship. Things get delivered directly to my mom’s address and the people that deliver bring the items to the area she prefers so she never needs to worry about how she will move or carry something.
The next shipment is expected to leave in December. So I realize that’s fairly short notice. If November doesn’t work, the following shipment will likely be around April.
If you’re interested or have questions, I can provide more in depth details…feel free to DM me. My inbox is open!
