This part was so sad

On a Friday evening Claude decided to spoil the mood 😭😭

Ooooh no, this was a bad ending.

There’s something about this space that feels uniquely mine. It’s where I find my focus, get lost in thought, challenge my own thinking, and turn random ideas into something meaningful. A space where ideas take shape, possibilities are explored, problems are solved, and seemingly impossible things start becoming plans. Between the screens, research, creativity and endless curiosity, this is where most of my ideas are born. It’s my personal thinking space, my creative laboratory, and probably where I spend some of my most productive hours. Sometimes, the best things you build don’t start on a construction site. They start at a desk, with an idea and the willingness to explore it. My favourite place to think, create, learn and build what comes next.

Yes, we want Zupco to be profitable, but in most countries public transport is not built for profit. Governments typically keep fares below cost so people can afford to travel. I know a few systems that are profitable, such as the Hong Kong MTR, where most revenue comes from property rather than fares. They apply the concept of land value capture, which works well in their favor.

Book 13/24 📚 | The Courage to Be Ordinary – Ichiro Kishimi Some books entertain you, some teach you, and others quietly challenge the way you see yourself and the world. This was one of those books for me. As I turned the pages, I found myself reflecting on how much of our lives can be shaped by the need to be accepted, appreciated, recognised and validated by others. It made me ask myself a few uncomfortable but important questions: How often do I measure my progress against someone else’s journey? How much energy do I spend worrying about how others perceive me? And am I sometimes so focused on becoming someone remarkable that I forget to appreciate who I already am? One lesson that particularly resonated with me is that I don’t have to be extraordinary to have a meaningful life. I am learning that growth doesn’t always have to be loud, visible or applauded. Sometimes it is found in choosing peace over approval, authenticity over expectations, and purpose over comparison. This book reminded me that I can still be ambitious, have big dreams, pursue excellence and strive to make an impact without making my worth dependent on any of those things. Perhaps the real courage is allowing myself to be enough, while still giving myself permission to grow. I am taking away a reminder to live more intentionally, worry less about other people’s opinions and focus on the contribution I make in my own little corner of the world.

In this lifetime

One AI tool that truly understands you is more valuable than five that don't. The more you use it, the better it understands how you think, works with you, and adapts to your needs. Over time, that familiarity translates into greater productivity.

I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4

Digitalisation isn’t an IT project. It’s a business strategy. Many organisations still treat technology as a support function, something you call when the printer stops working. But the businesses winning today, here in Zimbabwe and across Africa, are the ones that put technology at the centre of how they operate, sell and serve. Here’s what I’ve come to believe about digital transformation: 1. It starts with people, not software. The best system in the world fails if your teams don’t understand it or trust it. Training, change management and leadership buy-in matter as much as the technology itself. 2. Data turns guesswork into decisions. When your operations run on connected systems, you stop managing by gut feel and start managing by evidence. You see problems earlier and spot opportunities faster. 3. Efficiency is only the beginning. Yes, digitalisation cuts paperwork, delays and duplication. But the real prize is new value: new products, new channels and new ways of reaching customers you couldn’t serve before. 4. Your internal tools can become your next revenue stream. Systems built to solve your own problems often solve the same problems for others. The smartest organisations recognise this and take them to market. 5. Waiting is the most expensive option. Customers, competitors and markets are already moving. The cost of transforming today is far lower than the cost of catching up tomorrow. I’m excited to be working on exactly this, helping take homegrown digital solutions from internal adoption to the wider market, across property, security, agriculture, e-commerce and enterprise systems. The question for every business leader isn’t whether to digitalise. It’s how fast you can do it well.

What an end to a busy weekend.

Testing the iPhone Duo camera….

Part of the ecosystem…

The bad part about being the first users is using apps that are not optimized for the device.

The upgrade I have been waiting for…
