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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. All proceeds raised will go towards supporting children currently battling cancer and helping to raise awareness […]

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. […]

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.

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.
