In those first few moments after a collision, everything can feel overwhelming. Your heart is racing. Your thoughts are scattered. But what you do next matters for your safety, for others, and for what follows. 1. Stop. Always.No matter how small it seems, stopping is not a choice; it’s your responsibility. 2. Make the scene […]

This one is for every woman who gets behind the wheel each day. You get into your car, adjust your seat, adjust your mirrors, and buckle up. Everything feels right. And then this.A simple hair clip, sitting exactly where your head is supposed to rest. It feels like nothing. But in the moment it matters […]

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. The space strikes that perfect balance between cozy and refreshing. You have the option to sit outside and […]

As you know, each week we share the Ndeipi Weekender across our social media platforms, highlighting different events and experiences happening around town. We also make it a point to attend some of these ourselves, giving you a first-hand look at what’s worth trying. So, it was a pleasure meeting up with Chengeto and Zanele […]

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 […]

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 […]

The Friend Animal Foundation is the biggest and only no kill shelter in Zimbabwe. We are home to some 400 odd dogs and it is our main purpose to provide a healthy and caring home environment for our dogs. We have more than 200 dogs in our Tribe which is a group of dogs who […]

The Intertropical Convergence zone is following the Sun northward, taking the rains with it. Some areas had lots of rain, others less. But for all of us there should now be more clear skies and more opportunities to see the stars. Full Moon will be on 2 April – the Diamond Moon. It is the […]

HI All This country has always had a strong contingent of (mostly older) folks playing lawn bowls and 40 years ago we had over 20 different bowling clubs in Harare alone. Once a year there would be a Nationals Bowls tournament with several hundred of the more competitive types converging on one or other of the […]

Driving Habits That Could Be Wearing You Down  Without You Even NoticingEvery day, we get into our cars without thinking twice. A quick trip to the shops. The daily commute. Long drives chasing opportunities, providing for family, or simply getting through the day. Driving feels normal. Routine. But here’s something most people never stop to […]

Coffee fact: The cappuccino is named after the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin; its colour mirrors their iconic brown robes. There’s a spot along Enterprise that I pass every single weekday, on my way to work and again on my way home. Lately, it’s been impossible to miss the steady stream of people coming in […]

Coffee fact: Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, with over 2 billion cups enjoyed every single day! For a perfect Sunday, it’s the simple things that hit the spot, good company, a decent drink, and a change of scenery. This past weekend, with the sun finally deciding to show […]

This past Sunday, the Blue Tree Project hosted a blue tree painting at the Wagzone. The Blue Tree Project began in 2019 in Western Australia, inspired by the heartbreaking loss of Jayden Whyte. What started as a tribute has since grown into a global movement, with thousands of trees painted in a striking shade of […]

Hi All Every now and then I like to spend an early evening just chilling by myself at an outdoor restaurant with a good book in one hand and a beer or a glass of wine in the other.  The World of Books situated at the back of Highlands Park conveniently stays open till 6 […]
