Personal Background and Migration
I was born and raised in Harare, Zimbabwe, where I developed a strong passion for healthcare. When I moved to the UK over 32 years ago, it was to pursue further education and professional opportunities. The UK provided me with a platform to study mental health nursing, expand my education skills, gain experience, and contribute meaningfully to healthcare.

The hullabaloo that followed the recent visit to Bulawayo City Council chambers by King Bulelani Lobengula Khumalo has exposed the government for its lack of respect for diversity and outright bigotry by some of this country’s leaders.
Bulawayo mayor David Coltart posted pictures of himself with Khumalo during the courtesy call, which elicited positive feedback from right thinking Zimbabweans who felt that it was important to recognise the region’s cultural symbols.

My Dear People
Poor Chris Mutsvangwa has this nauseating tendency of taking Zimbabweans for fools and wanting to appear as if he is the only one who went to school or liberated this country single-handedly.
