hi there i just came from zim about a month ago im a african american and me and my boyfriend (who is from harare) traveled there. it was my first time to the motherland i felt even more proud to be black as you know most of us as black americans can not trace our exact liniage back to any particular country due to slaveryt to go to places like great zimbabwe and see how u all can trace your heritage its beutiful i loved zim black i thought blacks here were slow in doing things i see now wh
Haha, that's impossible,I went there last year it was still fucked up.if everything is mot all good brohh, u have only been to the damn tourist stuf:) pliz nigga stop lying to the world
shut the fuck up, Nhamo yega yega ,dzokerazve unogara, "ive been to uk, america " saka vakaona zviri kuwest zvakafanana nemashura ari muzim.Zim had potential in the past but that was derailed period. "there is petrol,food,coke" R u fuckin kidding me so thats wat u call development u dumb fuck, in the meanwhile in other countries hydrogen fuel cells r being developed, satelites being launched into space,nano tech and in "beautiful zim there is no electricity and running water" lol.
Don't mix tourism with actual life. I'd love to go visit Zimbabwe, but keep in mind that it's pretty much one of the poorest countries in the world, the government sucks and money is worth less than the paper it's printed on.
Cool... i have been to all palaces......... i am proud to say i grew up there:):) ur amazing.... at least u give my country a better name:):) THANK U:)
Yeah the British only show a poor image of Zimbabwe and Africa in general. They preach lies through the media, well done for giving an accurate and positive picture.
Hey bro, i was born in zimbabwe, and i can honestly say it is one of the most beautiful places. I went back there this year, and it was truly amazing. It's kind of sad of whats happened to it. It had so much potential, i went back there last year and this year and i was so suprised because it felt so empty, It used to be flooded with tourists and people. But i know that its getting better, i even saw a massive improvement from last year to this year.
Great ZIMBABWE forever! Fuck the U.S> and BRitish imperialist who want nothing more to get their racist, oppresive hands on ZImbabwes wealth if they dont have it already. Long LIve MUgabe. Africa should be for AFRICANS exclusively! Africas wealth should be controlled by africans not outsiders. ANd anyone who resists exploitation is mis-labelled a "dictator" by the lying, deceitful u.s. media which is owned mainly by jews. ANd the u.s. public never questions the rhetoric.
@TheBlackRite yeah, long live Mugabe - has parties with champagne and lobster while his citizens are starving to death. Long live Mugabe! One thing is for sure, you might have this jaded view of the "imperialist" US, but we have never let anyone starve to death in the streets. We have an asinine government but very compassionate people. By the way... your profile says you live in the united states, is that true? If so, why aren't you in Zimbabwe?
oh and the U.S and British are just soooooo fucking generous and kind hearted right? The u.s. government and british government just really, really care about ordinary africans. Do you want african people to believe this? Seriously? I know that you think black people are dumb, but do you really think we are THAT dumb? The racist, imperialistic, greedy, genocidal, war mongering white west wants mugabe out in order to serve their own interests as theyve done for centuries
@TheBlackRite 1. I never said I agreed with my government, in fact, I called it asinine. I wish for nothing but peace and prosperity for all people of every race.
2. Your immediate assumption that I think black people are dumb, repudiates any argument you may have - that's known as a fallacy of presumption. It tells me that you are too consumed with hate to have a reasonable conversation with anyone you deem to be your enemy. Have a miserable life, victim.
just because you have some pictures of clean (but empty streets) and could buy some cheap coke does not mean that things are on the up and up mate. You are looking in all the wrong places. You need to brush up on your history and take a deeper look at what is actually going on.
I am pleased to hear that Zimbabwe is up on its feet again. I miss the Zimbabwe i knew in 1996. I am hopefully though that my brothers and sisters in Zimbabwe will catapult that beautiful nation to where it was. I believe human development index will begin so to speak.
sorry, i just bumped into ama videos akho ryt now, and i have to get this off my chest, and i guess its coz i'll never see u so i dont have to be shy, but i think u r so cute...in an absolutely zimbabwean and totally nerdy way, but really cute :-) there, i said it! :-)
onto the vid, thats the same optimism i also had last year, but now....mhhh, ukuncindezelwa kukazuku kusakhona and its kinda disappointing :-(
You beautiful young person, you make me so proud, you are so intelligent, and well spoken. I"m so sure you will go far in life. I wish you only good things, thanks for your post. You make me want to visit Zimbabwe.
nostalgia made your view hazy my brother. This is an insult to the people on the ground who are suffering and you went to tourist resorts. In addition what u saw is a far cry for what a gvt should do. U r jus like a father that says he is a good father because he feeds, clothes and provides shelter for his children when it is an obligation.
I'd like to take you out to the tribal areas where I work and show you what I see and am working hard to address ... horrors and suffering you in your young life could never begin to understand. My plea to you is that you use your connections and western education to work toward the betterment of the marginalized and disenfranchised of our nation Zimbabwe. Rufu richiripo ikoko, shamwari.
My young friend, I admire your innocent idealism, but your ignorance of the realities that lie just below the surface issues is frightening. I don't know where you went, or who financed the apparent endless supply of foreign currency you seem to have had at your disposal, but you definitely did NOT see the real Zimbabwe. While there are some, with access to foreign funds, who are able to live a decent life, the reality is the majority are desperate.
@Tonyjava haha...indeed I am. thanks for the comment and am glad you had a good time. judging by some of the comments here it seems some people consider Zim to be some sort of a hell.
I knew u had to. Y'll look alike bro. I was at Anderson and was one yr his snr then we were both in the states. i saw him in 01 and 05, 06 here in the US. Zim is a heaven bro, I tell everyone here to go home as much as they can. mina, i have told myself that I will be doing this once a year. I have been since 2008. The zim i saw in March 08 and the one I saw Jan 2010 were 2 different countries. I actually had some hope of going back permanently. I am yet to post my pics on my facebook.
@Tonyjava yes...I went to Anderson too (but primary). We drove past it quite a lot during the summer (my relatives own the farm opposite)...it seems they are developing the school a lot (new dorms being built e.t.c.).
I'm starting an internship in the summer (here in the UK) but am planning on going on a gap to southern Africa. I love Zim, but I'm also really curious to see what the rest of Sub Sahara looks like :P
As much as I am for freedom of the press, I am not in favour of propaganda. I can see why the MDC would want 0% tax on foreign (South African) newspapers, because they are the ones who have been pushing the anti-Zimbabwe propaganda.
There is *no* analysis of the political situation in Zimbabwe in the western mainstream (corporate) press (see for instance the Amanpour-Mugabe interview among my videos).
i like the work you are doing bro. please keep us informed. those who've been writing hate please stop it. buy tyour own air-ticket and go and visit Zimbabwe and then share with us your experiences or else keep your hate language to yourself.
@chotojr hey...sorry I ended up removing the site. I am thinking of putting up a blog instead. which will have the pictures...l didn't feel the previous site was well built.
You are very young . . and your enthusiasm is admirable but naive. Invest in Zim where there is no rule of law or respect for property rights? Have you spoken to people who were allocated plots, built homes only to have them destoyed without compensation because government changed their minds?
Of concern would be the common people, how were they coping? Do you think their lives have improved? Are the wages on the ground enabling a decent life style or not?
All Upeople R sad, it will never ever ever ever ever ever ever b anything like smiths old gov i heard plenty R going back, it strange but if U are that dumb , good luck. In africa its opposite2 the rest of the world that moves foreward. Here everything goes back2 the same as it was b4 europeans arrived but worse becuase there buildings Rleft behind, dont b an idiot saying the US doesnt follow Zims, they dont need to with such a pathetic monkey gov they have more imprtant things to do, shame!!!
thank you very much for info on what is going on in Zimbabwe. here in the U.S. the media is so one sided & political, it is impossible to tell what is the truth.
Zimbabwe is very beautiful and it looks like the government is succeeding despite the sanctions.
tell me... are the rural people of Zimbabwe doing well? were they able to regain ancestral lands.
the rural ppl are suffering! regain ancestral lands? the land reform gave white owned land to war vets and zanu officials who don´t know anything about farming, killing the bread basket of southern africa. sanctions? which sanctions? the police is still getting brand new mercedes benz from germany. No sanctions around at all, but zanu agitation.
U r an idiot. The land seized lays fallow. There was no 'land distribution' only organized theft by party officials. People want food and jobs . . not a fairy tale about 'righting colonial injustice'. Go there - take a few pictures - get arrested and tortured and then tell me how great it is.
Respect for the Great Zimbabwe, God Bless Africans and their beloved Continent forever!

Hi,
It's been a long while.
Isn't it clear that inflation was purely in Zimbabwe Dollar terms? This is because of the credit freeze put on the Zimbabwean government.
There are so many details that are not gone into in the so-called mainstream media.
