I recently traveled to Bulawayo and it was a breath of fresh air from my home- town Harare. I didn’t
get to explore much due to limited time and too much catching up to do with my
close friend Gugulethu (a download of months of highlights and low lights). I did
however, get to walk around the city centre, visit a few flea markets and enjoy
slap chips from some corner fish and chicken place – I really loved the sauce. The highlight of
exploring the city was the buildings and architecture. Some of these buildings
have been around for years but still look stunning – like they were built
yesterday... You can tell their well cared for.
I had to
take pics and I hope this makes locals feel even prouder of where they from and
prompt others to visit. I know I’m proud...
I was
impressed by how clean the city was too....well down to the city council....

OMG you almost made me cry. I soo miss my city. And the chips from that joint are on point not to mention their sauces. Nice piece
