Good morning humans✨
I always talk about the girls fees program I run, and the plan to setup rural libraries in 🇿🇼. To create value for your contributions, I worked on a digital, illustrated kids story that draws from my childhood. It comes with printable activity sheets that help kids think about their place in the world. This is one of the 7 part series on citizenship and purpose that doing for kids. .
Price is set at $5 with the option to pay more. 50% of net proceeds goes to the rural schools initiatives I mentioned.

For those in countries where Visa card payments are a nightmare, the site will show you alternative payment options, including ecocash for Zimbabweans.
Do share with friends, and buy for different kids🙏🏾

Join the Asakhe X Spaces Show on @citezw at 9 AM this morning as Reuben Akili (CHRA), Claude Phuti (BPRA) and Cornelius Selipiwe (GRRA) unpack rising Council rates, service delivery and whether residents are getting value for their money.
Are residents paying more for less?
Take a read at my latest piece which reignites questions of servant leadership, active citizenry, Bulawayo social cohesion and the future of basic social service provision

Have a read on my latest piece on Temporary recusal of councillors facing corruption allegations: Balancing institutional integrity and the presumption of innocence — CITEZW share.google/7sUl9ROEXTfIOIW…
Very insightful piece, highly recommend everyone to have a read
My thoughts in response to an article by @claudephuti on how we can reform corruption with the Local Governance space:

2. The robust system of transparency & framework of accountability should be the backbone of the reform for local governance legislature and architecture. Otherwise we will export neo-patrimonial corruption from the political space, & import it within the administrative offices.
Is it time to rethink the role of Councillors considering the continued allegations on corruption and inefficiencies flagged by the AG's reports annually within local authorities across Zimbabwe? Have a read of my second opinion piece

Proposed 2027 @CityofBulawayo Budget public consultations are upon us, and Bulawayo residents cannot afford to sit this one out.
Residents have a right to ask questions, raise priorities and influence how their city’s resources are used.

Uncomfortable Conversations that we need..it was a pleasure being part of the panel
During today’s Symposium convened by @TIZim_info, @claudephuti (BPRA Programs Manager) sat with other panelists to unpack a critical, yet increasingly contested narrative around BEAM beneficiaries in the context of Bulawayo.

Powerful submissions which represent the people's views, undiluted views i for one heard being raised during public hearings, kudos madam
What a powerful dismantling of #CAB3 by Ellen Shiriyedenga in Parliament today!! 👏👏👏👌 #NoToCAB3 #OneManOneVote
Undermining Universal Suffrage which was one of the main gains of the Liberation struggle shows how lost we are as a nation, unfortunately history can never be undone and records can never erased by propaganda.
Contradicts section 264 of the supreme law of the land which is the constitution (on Devolution), goes against the Devolution and Decentralization Policy, NDS1 and NDS2 earmarked for 2026-2030, Urban & Rural Councils Acts
Why recentralize instead of empowering Local Authorities
Government is considering taking over the management of all roads from local authorities as part of measures to address the widespread dilapidation of the country’s road network. heraldonline.co.zw/govt-mull…
