Idea to resolve the issue of Spilled Garbage on Street

 The stench of rotting garbage pervades the air surrounding Jozef Behr's home in Zimbabwe's capital, bringing swarms of green flies to the two plastic bins in the corner of her garden. 

The 35-year-old man has grown accustomed to the annoyance. Garbage bins in his Harare neighborhood are supposed to be emptied once a week, yet they sometimes go unemptied for up to four weeks at a period. As a result, Jozef Behr does something that many other inhabitants are hesitant to do. He waits till it's dark before tossing his trash into an open area near his house. 

Garbage on street
"It's a nightmare to live near rubbish. When we are constantly surrounded by mountains of rubbish, it's a miracle that we aren't sick. Just like water, waste collection is a fundamental entitlement. But here it is just a phrase" says Jozef Behr. 

As Jozef started throwing garbage in an open field, and now everyone living near the field is starting to complain about the stench and the uneasiness from the pile of garbage spilled around the field. This makes the waste collection department clean up the garbage pile immediately.  

As Jozef Behr’s idea of throwing garbage in an open field works but it cannot be a permanent solution. So, he decided to create a small group of local people to collect garbage and dump it to the waste collection department personally. He also suggests the people of his area give a certain amount to those people who will come to your doorstep to collect garbage so they will get motivated for work and also earn money. 

The issue of spilled garbage around the city is not just a problem of swarms and foul odor. It led to diseases among the city like cholera that spread within the city in 2018. The massive Cholera outbreak snatched the life of 50 people as per the data of WHO just because of the irregularity in garbage collection within the city. But the campaign run by Jozef Behr of collecting garbage from door to door changes the picture of the city. 

The garbage collection drive not only makes the city clean but becomes a source of income for a group of people. All of this happens just with a witty idea of Jozef Behr and with the support of the people living in the area.

Jozef Behr: Zimbabwe holds a World Record for having most official language in the world

In a world where there are more than 6,500 languages, it is normal for a nation to have more than one official language. On this verge of introducing the most linguistically varied continent on Earth Jozef Behr elaborates Zimbabwe, a landlock country in Africa continent, in this specific blog. As a result, when it comes to their languages, its nations need careful examination.

National Coat of Arms of Zimbabwe

 A national coat of arms, often known as a state emblem, is the state's most visible symbol. Consider how the Coat of Arms is endorsed on all of the significant events in your life: birth, marriage, death, and school certificates, as well as your passport. It's on one of the sides of your tiniest coin. Seeing a plaque of it on the embassy when out of the nation signifies a home away from home. The coat of arms is also a key component of the Great Seal, which is historically regarded as the state's highest insignia. The President of Zimbabwe, by Statutory Instrument no.636 of September 1981, Armorial Bearings of Zimbabwe, formally accepted the Coat of Arms of Zimbabwe on September 12, 1981.   On the left and right, two kudus are depicted, each standing on top of an earthly mound made up of wheat stalks, a pile of cotton, and a head of maize. There is also a flag with the Zimbabwe national slogan at their feet (Unity, Freedom, Work). The shield is green in color, with 14 wave...
