WELCOME to the wild world of umjolo, where broken hearts, ghosting, Wi-Fi boyfriends and takeaway theft are all part of the battlefield. If you’ve ever sat on your bed staring at a “U up?” text at 1am wondering if it’s love or lust on a time limit, you’re not alone. And guess what? You no longer have to suffer in silence.
Introducing “Ask Bra Binzy” — B-Metro’s bold, brutally honest and sometimes brutally hilarious relationship advice column for the everyday lover navigating modern romance in the streets of Bulawayo and beyond. Whether you’re a hopeful romantic, a frustrated bae, or just someone who’s tired of being a side dish in someone else’s love meal, Bra Binzy is here for you.
Umjolo is a jungle. Luckily, Bra Binzy has the map.
Every week, Bra Binzy will be unpacking real questions from real people caught in the crazy maze of modern dating. No sugar-coating. No filters. Just unfiltered advice wrapped in humour and hard truths.
From men being used as walking Wi-Fi hotspots to women being reduced to midnight missions, from romantic name mix-ups to uninvited takeaway looters, Bra Binzy has seen and heard it all. And now, he’s ready to speak up for the silent, the fed-up and the confused.
But let’s be real. This is advice, not law.
Disclaimer: The views expressed by Bra Binzy are his own and meant to offer insight, guidance and a little comic relief. What works for one heart might not work for another. Relationships are complex and unique, so readers are encouraged to take the advice as one perspective — and apply it with their own wisdom. If in doubt, talk it out (or walk it out).
Why are we doing this? Because love in 2025 isn’t what it used to be. It’s DMs instead of letters, “talking stages” instead of courtship, and “link-ups” instead of dates. The rules have changed, and many people are drowning in drama with no one to turn to. That’s where Bra Binzy steps in — your witty, wise and slightly unhinged older brother who tells it like it is, whether you like it or not.
So whether your boyfriend only appears after midnight, your girlfriend thinks your fridge is community property, or you just need to figure out if you’re in love or in denial, send your umjolo saga to Bra Binzy. Nothing is too messy, too weird or too shameful. If it’s happening to you, it’s probably happening to someone else too.

No topic is off-limits. No situations too spicy. Just remember, Bra Binzy gives the map — but the journey is yours.
Because in the jungle of love, it’s better to laugh than to cry . . . and better to ask than to guess.
Let the umjolo games begin.
