The Zimbo Jam
According to the Consumer Council of Zimbabwe (CCZ) the family basket currently stands at US$501.36 which is beyond what many families can afford. All Civil Servants were until recently earning an allowance of US$100.00 per month and are now earning salaries which for many are still under US$170.00.
Watching Baba Charles and Mai Olivia Charamba perform at the Artists Supporting Artists Concert on 7th November I sensed that something was different. I have watched them perform numerous times before and I could feel that this was not the same. Something had changed. Something was better.
Here’s a quick question. What does Shorty got me trippin bout shiznit mean? If you don’t know then you are in critical need of The Zimbabwe Urban Dictionary.

Harare based dance group, Banyana Bafana, has received an invitation to perform in New Delhi, India at the 8th International Children’s Festival of the Performing Arts to be held in from 16 to 19 December this year.
Remember when you could take US$20 and get Z$2 billion on the street, but get Z$50 billion if you wanted the money transferred into your account? That was called kupisa (burning). It made hexatrillionnaires of some Zimbos and got others into jail. Well, it's no more, thanks to the GNU.
