STIGS leaves being a mission school and becomes a fully fledged ATS Association of Trust Schools.

Made sense since they were a brother achool to St Georges. Many Stigs kids left for Saints to get better Sports and Culture prospects. Guess they can now prevent that.

Congratulations to them.

Question Transmission

• Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a Mazda Demio with 54,000 km on it, and I was wondering: when do people usually do a transmission fluid change?

Most Zimbabweans I’ve talked to seem to never do it, even with cars surpassing 100,000 km. I’m thinking about changing mine soon and just want feedback from people knowledgeable about cars. Thanks!

Question Buying a used car in Zim with about $4k. How do I avoid getting scammed?

4 Upvotes

I'm looking to buy my first car with a budget of around $4,000 USD and want to do it as safely as possible.

A few questions for anyone who's been through it:

Is it better to buy locally from a private seller, from a dealer, or import directly from Japan at this budget?

What are the common scams to watch out for (fake papers, clocked mileage, cars with ZIMRA duty issues)?

How do you properly verify ownership and registration before paying?

Any trusted mechanics in Harare who do pre-purchase inspections?

I'll mostly use it for town driving and rural trips so I'm leaning towards something like a Toyota Rush or Honda CRV, but I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Question Mazda Axela Service

4 Upvotes

Hey guys 🇿🇼
My Mazda Axela 2017 needs a major service for reaching 100,000km. As this is my first car and I'm going about this pretty much on my own, I thought to come for some advice. Namely:
- what services need to be done during a major service? (note that I've noticed lately I'm not getting as many km/l as when I first got it, which is my biggest concern right now)
- how much should it cost roughly?
- does anyone know of any RELIABLE mechanics? I don't want my car to come back with problems it didnt have before.

Thanks in advance guys.

Question How do I actually educate myself about personal finances in Zim...

12 Upvotes

I am 26M and i just started my career. I, however, do not think i will be satisfied till i gain financial freedom. The word to define my financial literacy is-clueless. I never came from a well off family and I had to work extremely hard to get where I am, there were never any conversations at the dinner table about assets or investment. The chat was to get a good job, that was it. Personally, satisfaction will not come from a monthly paycheck. I do not want to beg for pension when i am old and vulnerable. There is so much information out there, i just cannot seperate the noise from what makes sense. At some point i even read rich dad poor dad, which, i found to be significantly less than useful , the man writing it also turned out to be a complete fraud. Realistically, what is a reasonable place to start. I would really appreciate any information or advice i can get

My girl created a platform that will help musicians find collabs. It's also a social network for musicians. Thing is honestly it's a good platform but it needs more users since it's algorithm can only be created if more musicians post. you can post tracks, beats, videos, host competitions, create groups (worlds) and most importantly if you see a post you like and think this person can help u in ur project, you can request collab. https://melopod.site saka if u make music of any kind or know musicians, please send and support. also give some feedback about the site so that she can improve it and later turn it into a mobile app if it's worth it.

Politics ZANU PF Constitution Fracas

8 Upvotes

Lot of buzz over the last few days over amending the Constitution of ZANU PF. From my angle heres what going on.

CAB3 is CAA3. But there's a problem. ZANU PFs constitution also requires amendment and it's a lot harder to amend. To show this. The last amendment was in 2014. More than ten years ago. We've amended the National Constitution 3 times already.

The key problem is not amending the constitution.its who can. All amendments are temporary until Congress ratifies them. Central Committee can propose and pass an amendment but only Congress can make it final. But the process is also long and tedious. From Cell up To Province motions and notices of Amendments must be passed. This can easily take months. And Congress is in November 2027.

So who's fighting who. A camp loyal to the President claims that The Central Committee as the highest decision making body outside of Congress has power to amend. Fair enough it can. And a faction belonging to his opponents says Congress must decide and only it can ratify. Two interpretations. But same goals for both factions. Gain Power.

Brief Summary.

Discussion WhatsApp: Why 2FA is not enough

21 Upvotes

Here's my two cents....

If you think setting up Two-Step Verification (2FA) on WhatsApp is enough to keep hackers out - think again.

Scammers can exploit linked account loops to bypass security - especially if you've been logged out but regained access.

Here is how to further lock down your accounts:

​Break the SMS Recovery Loop: Make sure the email attached to your WhatsApp 2FA does NOT use your the compromised phone number for password resets. If an attacker intercepts your SMS or phone line, they can reset your email password first, take over your inbox, and then bypass your WhatsApp 2FA!

​Check Your Chat Backup Destination:

Go to Settings > Chats > Chat Backup. If you were recently logged out, verify that an attacker didn't link their email address to your cloud backup. Otherwise, a copy of all your new messages streams directly to them every time your phone backs up.

​Separate Your Security and Backup Emails: Use one email address for WhatsApp 2FA and a completely different email address for cloud chat backups to prevent a single point of failure.

​Encrypt Backups with a 64-Digit Key:

Go to Settings > Chats > Chat Backup > End-to-End Encrypted Backup and select a 64-digit encryption key (or custom password) instead of a passkey. Passkeys sync via cloud/hardware services, whereas a 64-digit key guarantees that only someone holding that offline key can decrypt your data.

We living in borrowed time. It's okay to be selfish, it's okay to put yourself first. It's okay to stop reaching out to people who don't reach out to you. It's okay to want people to give you the same energy you're putting out. It's okay to stop watering a tree that won't bear any fruit.

Discussion Does therapy even work in Zimbabwe

2 Upvotes

I'm unemployed but taking into account that I was employed, would therapy even do anything for me... And what I mean is that the idea seems impractical... Zimbabweans generally view therapy as you being weak, most people don't understand mental health struggles

Then there's needing approx $100 per session for good therapists.. While an average Zimbabwean makes 250 a month, won't that increase your stress? Then there's the toxic negativity part, "it'll all work out, have faith" but does faith and hope fix anything? Does some words by a stranger fix chronic illness? Idk

Discussion Zimbos, can I get some honest feedback on a music platform my girl built?

5 Upvotes

So my girl has been working on a project called Melopod(appears when you search it up on google) , and I thought I'd share it here to see what other Zimbabweans think, especially those into music.

The idea is pretty simple. It's a platform where musicians, producers and other creatives can find people to collaborate with.

You can upload tracks, beats and videos, host competitions, join communities called "worlds", and even request collaborations directly from other creators.

It's still very new, so there aren't many users yet, and obviously there's a lot that can be improved.

I think it has potential, especially for upcoming Zim artists who struggle to find producers, vocalists or other musicians to work with.

But I'm curious what you guys think. If you're a musician or producer, would you actually use something like this? And what features would make it worth using?

It's called Melopod, by the way. I'm sharing because I'm connected to the project, but genuine criticism is welcome. Even if you think the idea won't work, I'd appreciate hearing why.
