    Not too expensive compared to PnP South Africa. However, one has to take into account the average salaries in Zim vs SA. Happy to see that shelves are full.

    Hmm... not too bad... Up here in Canada, where we are finding ourselves in a state of inflation, food prices are becoming an issue.
    There has been quite a drought here early this year 2023, and many farmers sold off a lot of their livestock, so meat prices are climbing like crazy here as the shortages are on the horizon.
    There is a lot of weather warfare going on here in North America, lots of chem trails that block the sun, and forest fires with all the smoke... food scarcity is on the horizon.
    Always be thankful for what you can have!
    Be blessed!

    Great video!
    Do you think your subscribers would like you to interview someone who can share what life was like when Zim was Rhodesia and how it has changed for the better for Blck people since becoming Zimbabwe?
    I thought it would be good to hear from someone who lived in Zim then and now. It may help people of Zim to appreciate the fact that your people sacrificed a lot for the freedom you have now.
    I know there are some challenges there due to sanctions but I am sure life has improved in many ways for the people of Zim who did not have equal rights in Rhodesia.

      A lot of changes. For instance Tino would not have been allowed to shop at Pick n Pay. Uptown supermarkets were for whites only. Even walking on the pavement uptown was forbidden. Empoyees at checkout points would be mostly white or occasionally coloured. Blacks were only allowed to shop downtown in shops normally owned by Indians/ Pakistanis or Arabs.

      Most of our people are not aware of eating healthy.There is no advocacy around this. People would rather eat white bread made with refined flour every morning with tea than substitute with say sweet potatoes or other plant based starch. Also, meat consumption is too high. Ironically its those with money that feel like they should eat some form of animal protein every mea which is unhealthy. Look at what that has done for the US, over 50 percent obesity rates, multitudes of cardiovascular hospitals, cancer hospitals. People need to be aware. If its in a can, I rarely if ever consume it. The less processed the better.
