We started a free weekly newsletter for Zimbabweans in the diaspora
Hi everyone,
We’re the team behind ThumaMe, a service that helps Zimbabweans abroad verify things back home, whether that’s checking on property, confirming a builder is actually doing the work, inspecting a car before it’s bought, or simply being an extra pair of trusted eyes and ears.
One thing we’ve noticed is that people in the diaspora often hear important news too late. Whether it’s changes to land ownership, new government policies, common scams, or issues affecting Zimbabweans living abroad, the information is usually scattered across Facebook posts, WhatsApp groups, and word of mouth.
So we’ve started a free weekly newsletter called The Diaspora Check.
Every week we’ll cover:
• News that actually matters to Zimbabweans abroad.
• Property and investment updates.
• Common scams and how to avoid them.
• Practical guides for sending money, buying property, and dealing with things back home.
• Interesting stories from the diaspora community.
If that sounds useful, you can find it through our Linktree, which also has links to our social media pages and a recent interview with one of our co-founders explaining why we started ThumaMe.
