This past weekend I had the privilege of attending a run organised by KidzCan Zimbabwe together with St Ignatius College. The run was held in honour of former student Craig Jaison, who sadly passed away a few years ago.

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 […]

The morning of the Horse Race Day at Borrowdale Racecourse began under gloomy skies, with relentless rain that seemed determined to keep everyone indoors. It was the kind of weather that makes you want to stay curled up at home with a warm beverage, a soft blanket and a good book or favourite television show. […]

Sometimes when your car refuses to start, the problem seems obvious. But in many cases, it’s not so simple. If you turn the key and hear a clicking sound, or notice flickering lights, your first thought might be that the battery is dead. But it could also be the alternator. The confusion happens because these […]

On Thursday, 26 February, Mr L. Makurirofa hosted a Zoom meeting, talking about how World Cancer Day, 4 February, brought stakeholders together around a shared commitment: reducing the cancer burden and strengthening patient-centred care in Zimbabwe. His message was clear that cancer patients must be recognised as primary stakeholders and meaningfully involved at every stage […]

This past weekend, I visited the Garden Fayre at the Italian Club, a community market offering plants, trees, handcrafted items, books, biltong and freshly prepared food. From around 9 am, there was a steady flow of people making their way through the stalls. Some arrived with a clear plan of what they were looking for, […]

20 March will be the Equinox when the Sun will be over the equator and the day and night will be equal. The time from sunrise to sunset changes most rapidly around the equinox and you should notice how quickly the days are drawing in. Full Moon will be on 3 March – the Harvest […]

On most days when I am completely in my element whilst working on something, I plug in my earpods and let the world fade. More often than not, it’s the music of Lindsey Stirling that fills my ears. I gravitate toward the violin because I don’t want lyrics distracting my thoughts, just the purity of […]

Not based on age.Not based on experience.Not based on confidence. Driving is based on mindset. Every road has three types of drivers. 1. The Reactive DriverThis driver waits for something to happen  and then responds.They brake when others brake.They swerve when something appears.They think in the moment, not ahead of it. Their driving is last-minute, […]

Hi All January is always a very busy month for us at Softrite, and this year was no different with us adding an option to our Adaski payroll software to use Zimra’s Averaging method for calculating PAYE. So, I felt quite justified in jumping on an Emirates plane heading off to see my kids and grandchildren in […]

A real-life road collision where a seatbelt saved her life…….This story was sent to us… and it left us deeply emotional. On February 13th, 2026, a mother was being driven home with her two young children. Just five minutes from safety. Just five minutes from home. An oncoming car approached with bright lights. They shifted […]

Driving without a licence is not brave.It is not clever.It is not harmless. It is reckless. A driver’s licence is not just a card. It represents training, testing, accountability, and a minimum standard of competence required to share the road safely. No licence means no verified training.No proven understanding of road rules.No confirmation that a […]

On long journeys, it’s common to see front-seat passengers resting their feet on the dashboard.It looks relaxed.It feels comfortable. But it is one of the most dangerous positions anyone can sit in inside a moving vehicle. In a collision, airbags deploy from the dashboard at extremely high speed. This force is designed to protect a […]
