The Rhodesian era was much better, wasn't it hu? After kicking white out of Rhodesia, they keep clinging to them! You had your country back so now just stay there!

Comment from : @LoveMafae

As a diasapora, the more you give the more you dig your own grave, only people you should send money is your parents and siblings Look after yourself and your mental health

Well, if it isn't the consequences of my actions, you never should have started a rebellion against rhodesia

Mugabe destroyed a great country called Rhodesia and turned it in a shithole called Zimbabwe Ian Smith and Rhodesia will be never forgotten!

Frank is a good brother and did well taking over for his father as the oldest man
Comment from : @Nyonibjr

A big problem is the misconception of foreign kife in Zimbabwe, a lot of people here especially those who aren't well educated about foreign life think it's rosy and green abroad, but it's not so With cost of living rising in many countries and the harsh discrimination and difficulty in adapting it to a different life style, it can be a hard shift I think it's a bit better for us Gen Zs since we got an opportunity to learn how to adapt and learn
Comment from : @Nyonibjr

😢 I've seen how uneducation like my country, it is really sad😔 brPeople don't have basic skills to keep up with a modern life
Comment from : @Nyonibjr

We at Pure Water For All Foundation have been working on this problem for decades in over 50 countries We have fantastic results

Kikki😂💀
Comment from : @NathanCrowdz

It is very important for all of us to learn to look after ourselves very well before taking on responsibilities that aren't even ours For instance, I get it when one looks after his or her parents, but the rest of the extended family should not be on the list Also, it must not be too regular, please
Comment from : @kZim24

dissapointed by Kiki

Comment from : @velaphhlazo171

wow So Kiki wants to continue begging for $50 rent from siblings and stay for an abusive boyfriend who obviously can’t help her with anything…… your mother is encouraging you to upgrade yourself she gave a mouthful of words that you can be a somebody… people are going to Poland to study, you think everyone leaving Zim has a choice? we don’t want to be foreigners but we have to -because our own country can’t even hire half of us the few that have jobs can’t even be paid, companies are leaving our country… think 💭

Comment from : @charlienize4635

I love the mother in Bulawayo you can see her projects building for her kids, and she is looking after the nieces and nephews, other parents demand money so they can show off to the neighbours with new things 🙊🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Comment from : @palmshoot

As a third party, neither African nor European, I find it interesting that Europeans have a problem with Africans immigrating, even though the former are experiencing brain drains
Comment from : @palmshoot

uKiki uleproblem 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Comment from : @alisonshoko1664

I understand Kiki We shouldn't judge her because everyone needs to be true to themselves and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit Moving abroad isn't best for everyone, and it feels like Kiki's family is treating her poorly because she chose to stay in Zimbabwe Even if she seems less successful, if she's happy in Zimbabwe, that's what matters It's sad that she feels she would be a better daughter if she went abroad and made money, implying she's treated as less because she doesn't have money When she asked her mom, "Did you miss me?" it seemed like she felt disconnected from her family because she makes less money and isn't abroad brbrLife is more than making money or going abroad Some people go abroad and succeed, but it's not for everyone My father chose to stay in Zimbabwe when his family moved abroad They looked down on him for his entire life for staying, but he had the best quality of life He got a permanent job, raised his family, took his kids through school, and lived a fulfilling life with a strong relationship with God He didn't have much money but lived a decent, well-rounded life brbrIt's not always about money; it's about living a fulfilling, purposeful, and impactful life, being grounded in God, and being a good human being Not everyone has to go abroad I'm living abroad and glad I made that decision, but I understand it's not for everyone brbrGood for you, Kiki I hope you don't lose your self-worth because of how your family treats you Be strong The strength it took to say you're not going to Poland and to leave the family group—may that same strength help you stand firm in your decision It's your life at the end of the day All the best, Kiki
Comment from : @Bellarue2020

Honestly i think the mother is hustling her children for her own benefit
Comment from : @abangsarchive8761

This is the best that I have seen in a while I believe we should continue telling our own stories as Zimbabweans
Comment from : @madalitsokhuoge9842

These people are hard working and compassionate I respect them I work with a Zimbabwean man in construction On a negative, it's wrong that so many people are forced to leave to survive And the fact that ordinary normal working class Europeans are obliged to compete for housing and jobs with tens/hundreds of millions of people from the global south who all are coming to Europe to live in our communities is utterly tragic Europe cannot absorb these people without damaging our way of life and our culture Politicians need to make life fairer and better for the global south Good luck to them Zimbabweans are strong people and I respect them a lot Bless the Zimbabwean people
Comment from : @Oharadanny123abcdefg

This is a snap shot of what Africans do to support family back home You have to understand Zimbabwe is unique in that the economy was destroyed and the country was isolated and that is why things there are so hard there I would say though these siblings have been put under to much financial pressure to constantly be the cash cow for family back home The reality of living abroad is you pay bills and they do not stop I worked out that every month I pay at least £1500 worth of bills (which in includes the cost of the property I live in) Back home they do not understand that you that you sending the money (from abroad) do not have anyone to fall back on if you have financial crisis

Zim has so much talent abroad
Comment from : @iyoppotv

I watched the documentary, my heart long understood why my Mother's and Father's, brothers and sisters come, to immigrant it is not easy This life has bottle neck certain individuals and that's their situation It made me realize how I have not done anything in this life with my gevity Sis Kiki I hope you found the power to persuade your endeavors to Poland I am , young man currently facing life, I need to move, but I am really confused I really don't know what to say I deeply touched and even if I was born in a not so stable country, I endure the heavyweight the family carries ❤
Comment from : @siphesihlebuthelezi9184

Is very nice documentary until I hear the family virtual meeting when they say Kiki will border jump, they have no regard to South African laws 😢 and our intelligence agencies are not working because like really
Comment from : @KedimphoNgrandma

Frankie's accent😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Comment from : @DaisyLovE_0

This documentary touches on both sides of life It shows how people in the diaspora are working so hard to support families back home and the challenges in try support our families back in Zimbabwe
Comment from : @zvikomatondo

What was Kiki going to do in Poland? She has to have a specific thing she's going to do Whether it's work I personally don't subscribe Poland for education In UK we had health visiting students in the mid 90s and they did not succeed in passing their exams I think the level of education in Poland may not be to the level in the UK One needs to do their homework first before embarking on travelling to some of these countries Stay blessed BYO in UK
Comment from : @margaretrosemakoni7096

Interesting to see all these comments! Even more interesting to see how many people have all the answers despite having never walked in our shoes! brIt's been interesting to also note how much hatred people can harbour for a person they've never met! 😊 [Frank, from the documentary 🙏🏾]
Comment from : @FrankMalabaArtivist

All I can say is I hate this African mentality that the older generations think they had children as an investment to look after them Let us break this thinking and plan for our own old age and what to leave for the next generation If not leave the next generation to focus on themselves Parents you are not self entitled to my money and it was your responsibility to look after me but you can't be my burden to carry when I already have my own journey and challenges (I know easier said than done😅 but it's annoying) Am now very anxious 😔
Comment from : @Tipsy51

I think most of us African diasporans share similar experiences with our families back home

Thanks for sharing this however sending money to support family is also done by those in-country especially to support parents and siblings
Comment from : @victoriousco

Wait, you can't leave it there What happens next with these lovely people?
Comment from : @pauly8414

Zimbaweans are wonderful people Who live in poverty I personaly know professional people who earn between $200-350 USD a month The grocercies prices are very similar to prices in US They live payday to payday They sacifrice for their children to get an education All schools have tutition and they have to buy uniforms
Comment from : @juliamcdonald8543

A beautifully made film which sheds light on the real struggles of people in the diaspora The amount of financial burden they carry each and every day One really has to be disciplined and say NO otherwise you’ll find yourself at 67 years old with not even a chicken to your name

“Let us chase out the white colonialists who feed us and built the country, what can possibly go wrong?“brbr“Please let us into Europe! We are starving! Help!”
Comment from : @user-vb7pr4oc8d

Sending money is our first name Every time the phone rings, it’s not a matter of sending money but how much? The problems at home is so bad and sad that we feel so conflicted when we spend even a little money on ourselves Our brains have become fast acting calculator that convert every money and the difference it will make in the lives of those left behind It’s so 😢 😢😢😢

DW you have captured my attention when it comes to documentaries, Thank you for not disappointing Much love for the work
Comment from : @WSamuel-100

Really enjoyed this documentary it was really put together So relevant in these times we are living in, if not for the help from many relatives staying abroad life back home would be unbearable, there is constant need for money it's a cycle one problem after the other Much appreciation to those that are able to send money back home
