The price of luxury

Häagen-Dazs is an American ice-cream brand. As far as I know, it’s not easy to get in Zimbabwe. Spar Athienitis has it, though. At pretty high prices, compared to our own local brands. Personally, if Kefalos Vanilla Bean costs $4, why buy something else for $18? But that’s just me

CABS bank charges are mysterious

I understand that CABS had their new website hacked, so maybe they do have an excuse for having outdated bank charges on their current site. What I don’t understand is the new ATM withdrawal charges.

Well done, Utande

Wadzanayi has nothing but praise for Utande; I just want to applaud Dandemutande’s Support Centre for a splendid job they are doing.

Our organisation had a uMax unit last year and whenever the service was

I&J Meal Box costs more than actual meal

I was at Athienitis Spar the other day, and as soon as I saw a display of I&J Meal Boxes, I went for it.

Their curry range is amazing, and I especially love the tikka masala. You would think it’s fresh from an Indian restaurant, not out of the box

Inspired to change my world?
Dear Econet Wireless

Updated below The weekend before last there was a data outage. I have seen no explanation whatsoever, whether online or via SMS. And we all know how you love to send SMS. This past weekend was the same. In fact, Sunday was the day I really needed a reliable data service, and there was none. With no explanation. This is unacceptable. For this reason, and this reason only, I’m buying

Really?
Steers advertising versus reality

People everywhere know fast food as one of the most reliable distributors of disappointment ever produced by the business world. Food advertising is infamous for the techniques it uses to make items look bigger and better. The places themselves usually plaster their walls with pictures of juicy burgers – often hanging right over the tills – so you need only open your eyes to find something to compare your actual
