When making tea for a guest, we consider their preferences. So why not show the same consideration to others on the road? From tailgating and impatient overtaking to ignoring pedestrians and cyclists, small driving decisions can have serious consequences. Before your next journey:– Leave home on time and plan for traffic.– Keep a safe following

Cottco Rugby Festival

Hi All I last played rugby way back in about 1983 – full back or fly half for the 3rd team at Old Georgians. There were so many guys playing club rugby in and around Harare in those days, that in 1984 OGs had a social 4th team playing too. In 1981 we (the thirsty thirds) were

The Coffee Column – The Fridge

Community Blog, The Coffee Column / By Phineas Sixpence

Slow Sunday mornings call for a good cup of coffee, a quiet corner, and a moment to just be. This past Sunday, I found exactly that at The Fridge, tucked away at 63B Ridgeway North in Highlands.

HI All Bulawayo was my hometown whilst I was at university in the early 1970s, so being so close to the Matopos (now Matobo Hills), it didn’t take long for me to develop a passion for spending time out there amongst the spiritual quiet of their huge balancing rocks. Round about the same time I

Community Blog, Driving / By Phineas Sixpence

Drivers have not suddenly forgotten how to drive. What has changed… is patience. What we are witnessing on our roads today is not a lack of skill it is a shift in attitude. Aggression is rising because entitlement is rising. Too many drivers now believe their time matters more than everyone else’s safety. It starts

“That’s not my job…” until it is.

Community Blog, Driving / By Phineas Sixpence

This is a story about four drivers: Everybody. Somebody. Anybody. Nobody. There was a hazard on the road. Everybody saw it. Somebody should have acted. Anybody could have stepped in. But Nobody did. And that’s how danger grows… quietly, unnoticed, until it’s too late. Now look at our roads today: 🚫 The driver who notices

THE WORD “ACCIDENT” MINIMISES WHAT REALLY HAPPENS ON OUR ROADS

Community Blog, Driving / By Phineas Sixpence

One word I feel very strongly about in road safety discussions is “accident.” It’s used constantly. But here’s the problem: it suggests something random, something unavoidable, something no one could have prevented. The truth? Most serious incidents on our roads are not accidents. They are collision-avoidable events caused by human decisions: – Speed – Distraction
