I love it when, lush surburbs have original Zimbabwean names. Borrowdale, Highlands, Gun Hill, Mount Pleasant etc used to be a status Symbol when someone asked us where do you live
Pavements would be nice, and even bike lanes(we have the perfect weather for cycling). Have you seen Kibagabaga in Rwanda? It has these features in their suburbs and it really. completed the neighbourhood as a whole
Indigenous names dont bring an international feeling unless you choose those simple ones like Chisipite or Kumalo in Bulawayo because most of investors live in the lanny side of town. Wonzwa an American banker ichinzi irikugara kuDzivarasekwa or Chitungwiza surburb
@@foxbat473 indegeneous names are better than foreign names like Sandton , Kempton park , Borrowdale , Arlington. All foreign names must be changed how can an African town be called Durban, why not call it Buthelezi or Mzilikazi city .

Most of our local authorities are not valuing and rating properties properly. Property values and rates are the economies of local councils. Harare is madly growing, but l don't see amenities matching the growth.
@@foxbat473 Yeah, means testing is also difficult, but l think local authorities should maintain proper records. The debts are assets that can be recovered, though more are written off.
Nice one Mr Zim I lived on steenbok road some years ago and went to Lewisam primary school . This was definitely a trip down memory lane as I used to bike a lot on a lot of these roads
Thanks Mr zim brilliant video, it's Paul from the UK. The government of Zimbabwe should seriously consider making all residential areas family friendly be it in the high medium or low density. There should be pedestrian and cycle tracks, parks with swings play areas for the children, there should be community halls or meeting places for residents, there should be convenient shops in every community and finally allotments for planting vegetables and not let people grow crops every even on river banks. Which is Damaging the environment for the future generations. The high density areas were designed for black workers whose families lived in the rural areas hence they are not suitable for large families, that's why in the late 80s people started building zvitangwenas and the government should have rectified these problems those years instead their solutions was to destroy zvitangwenas rather than redesigning the set up. Zimbabwe has a huge potential if properly planned with the people in mind and at heart
U said it perfectly. It might nw that they ignore all wat u mentioned but I remember growing up in townships we had play grounds community halls etc. Hope one day they revive all that greatness
@@mhopi9744 yes true, the structures are still there in Sakubva Mutare were I was born, swimming pool, tennis courts, swings, Library and halls but are run down. Even when the finances were still there late 80s and 90s there was to repairs or refurbishments
The colonizers they were giving themselves massive stands for houses plus farms more than one farm per person. thats were you realize their intentions they want everything big for themselves, now they make more money by building townhouses on these massive stands. Thanks Mr Zim
Beautiful lively neighborhood. Lots of activity between university n shooting range. Never a dull moment. I love the fact that the neighborhood is not dominated by mansions. Simple n quiet. Next time u run fo Mayor, please make roads yr first priority. Thanx Mr Zim 🇿🇼 great video, u a never second best.
Nice video Mr Zim. Can you do Chinhoyi and Banket residential last time you just covered city centre and it looks like the towns are livable. Thank you
Okay, I didn't see Bushbuck close. I thinks that is where the "sate house" is - on Bushbuck close. There is also an embassy of a country on Bushbuck close and minister Msipa (Or is it Msika? They confuse me), used to have a house in Mandara. I am told the late Nkomo too lived in Mandara.
Beautiful suburb. Thanks for making it easier to appreciate Zimbabwe. Which online estate agent are you using to get your valuations. The prices seem very high in comparison to your average mentioned. Could you recommend an estate agent please. Thank you again. Great work.

Thanks. I have seen that area on CZcams very nice.
Thank you, welcome aboard
What a nice place Mr Zim
It's quite beautiful
My former neighbourhood!! Aah,the memories.Also near to Chisipite as well.
All this subdivision of large properties will change the neighborhood some places need to left as is.
I think we need more indigenous names
I agree

Mandara is beautiful,besides kushata kwemigwagwa zvichanaka chete🙏🏾thank you Mr Zim

Thanks, we are pushing 💥💥💥
Thanx for sharing
My pleasure 😊😊😊
New Subscriber. Saw your video with Whittee. Great video
Zimbabwe only needs new modern paving for both vehicles and pedestrians otherwise everything else is there including nice houses
The housing standard was set very high. We need a good economy as well to beautify

@@georgezibuye8577 the economy is largely informal hence its difficult for residents to constantly pay their rates
@@MrZim263 the economy needs to bounce for sure

Hopefully we won't have more roads in potholes than potholes on our roads. Anyway, the area is beautiful, but where are the people?
The area hardly has pedestrians. Household often have more cars than people

Lot's of potential in Zim. Those additions would improve the conditions, but for now council is low on resources even for refuse collection
Zim is a perfect example of a FAILED NATION!a cursed COUNTY I MUST SAY!

Comfortable middle class neighbourhood in Zimbabwe

Home is calling
شكرا مدينة جميلة ؟؟ هل ممكن ناتى الي هذا البلد نعم اولادنا في هذا البلد الجميل وتساعدوا الافارقة للدراسة في بلدكم المتطور في التعليم
Nice video Mr Zim. Can you do Chinhoyi and Banket residential last time you just covered city centre and it looks like the towns are livable.
Thank you
Oh yeah. It's on the plan💥
I think these roads are done before houses are built and never resurfaced again. Wonder if two cars can drive past each other.
It been over 20 years. Maybe soon they'll be resurfaced
Beautiful place
Yes indeed 💥

Of all the old colonial suburbs to me Mandara is the poshest. Are there any that are better?
Hie can you please show us, Charlotte brooke
roads are bad there, I will go in the dry season
Are they that bad, how are people meant to build houses there,🤯
@@terrencechaonza2992 those who live there are used to it
The roads have messed up an otherwise nice neighborhood.
Mr Zim pls title of the background music😀
i forgot, use shazam
