[@misscidella]

Dr Debbs I’m curious how you were able to work as a foreign medical doctor in Zimbabwe that studied in China?

[@TheMegabushFamily]

Hi! Thanks for this question. So like any other country (Jamaica, USA, UK etc.) Zimbabwe has mandatory medical licensing/board exams that all foreign trained doctors must pass in order to undertake practice locally. So I wrote those exams and passed them in order to practice here. Then I undertook 2 years of housemanship in a public hospital (while on my spousal + work permit). The only unfortunate problem in Zimbabwe is that despite being MARRIED to a local, I recently found out that current rules by the medical regulating body remain discriminatory to foreigners and state that I cannot obtain an “open practice” license (allows you to open your own practice/ work in private institutions) until I’m granted permanent resident status AND practicing in a government institution for 5 years (applies to foreigners). The irony is this has actually made going back home or even to the US a more attractive option professionally, since no such rules exist there, all that’s required is writing the licensing exams.

[@misscidella]

@ doesn’t it also take 5 years for you to get your PR which means you’ll be able to get your PR just in time to start applications

[@snsn7251]

​@@TheMegabushFamilyShame. Keep pushing.

[@coachpamburton]

My question is how do you compare the food in Zimbabwe with your Jamaican food Dr Deb? What’s the main difference?🥰

[@TheMegabushFamily]

Hahahah LOTSSS of differences! But generally Jamaican food has more variety and we cook with many different spices.

[@coachpamburton]

@ tell me about it! I love my husband’s Jamaican food compared to our own Zim food. Zim food is so basic and not as tasty. For example our rice is just plain rice, whilst you have the option of the rice and peas, rice and gungu or just the plain white rice. I could go on and on🥰🥰

[@TheMegabushFamily]

@@coachpamburton spot on! That’s variation in all meals is everything!

[@JamaicanInZambia]

Alot of people are moving back to the Carribean and Africa.. i cant wait to go back to the Motherland. Your children speak and understand shona, english and patwa?

[@TheMegabushFamily]

We have one 3 year old child. Unfortunately he speaks only English fluently, but is learning Shona (he can hear, understand and knows a few words). He doesn’t know patwa at all (only hears a little bit 😅 and can greet his grandparents on video chat by saying “nuttin” when they say “wah happin?” lol) I’m sure he’ll learn all 3 over time 😅

[@blessingmombe7048]

Hi fam, hope you good. just wanted to ask how you managed to maintain a 4year long distance , how did you do it in terms of communication and visits....n trust issues of course lol

[@TheMegabushFamily]

Hiii!!! Happy New Year! So we would: 1. Visit each other 1-2 times a year during my holiday breaks (I would mostly travel to Zim, he came to China twice in that period) 2. DAILY video chats! (This was crucial) 3. WhatsApp messaging throughout the day whenever we found time 4. CONSTANTLY discussing our plans together and updating each other on where we each were with that. 5. Family & friend support, whenever we had problems our inner circle was instrumental in nudging us in the right direction. 6. PRAYER! Involving God in our plans! As for trust issues, I never really had them as Tony is generally a honest guy, he would be open with me on what’s up, even if it’s something I wouldn’t particularly like. And I’m more of a logical than emotional thinker so we would work through our issues. I can only remember 1 occasion where I experienced trust issues but later discovered it was due to POOR network reception where he was (I only realized and accepted when I visited Zim and was at that location myself 😂😂😂 then I was like ohhhhhh!)

[@blessingmombe7048]

@TheMegabushFamily thanks for the reply, really insightful.

[@Kira-n3i3h]

Happy New year 2025 ✨️❤.🎉🇬🇶

[@TheMegabushFamily]

Happy New Year to you too Kira! ❤️

[@raymondchikuku1809]

As a Zimbabwean i can say the general service in Zim is horrendous and shocking. Makes me mad how poor the customer care is. That and the driving. Oh my oh my. There are a lòt of things we need to fix in Zim. It's tiring even for a Zimbo. I can image for a foreigner.

[@TheMegabushFamily]

The DRIVINGGGG!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯 Good grief!!!!

[@bonanincube5719]

The weakness of most Shona people Ihave met when you identify as Zimbabwean they automatically assume you can speak shona no wonder why they think Debs by being black and living in Zim she is Shona or speak shona.

[@TheMegabushFamily]

That’s actually been the toughest part of living here, you watch so many blacks put aside their Shona and happily speak in English to white Zimbabweans (who were born, raised and lived here all their lives), but give a cold shoulder and unfriendly attitude to a fellow “black” person speaking in English because you don’t have an accent they recognize as foreign so “you should just know Shona” (even if you’re not Zimbabwean and actually from half way across the world 🙄) The good thing is, once people realize I’m truly not from this country, they are kinder about it and more understanding.

[@snsn7251]

​@@TheMegabushFamilyEven us married to Zimbabwean and live outside the country gets this pressure about the language. I can imagine you living there

[@TheMegabushFamily]

Really??? Even though you’re living outside? Lol

[@bonanincube5719]

I agree Debs Most Shona people i know or have interacted with are generally kind, its this thing of thinking every black person in Zim should speak or know Shona They even go to an extent of asking why you can't speak it? @Tony trust me I know I can literally give you dates times and even names of verifiable people who do this in my rural community even at my sons former primary school Bains...... enuff said on this though, Thank you for your lovely channel very intertaining.....

[@mutsa573]

Megabush family is taking liberties, where on God's earth have you been hiding? Lol

[@TheMegabushFamily]

😂😂😂 We’re sooooo sorry! LIFE is “lifing” us!!! Lol Plus our mic got busted so working on replacing it. THANKS for showing grace and still coming over to watch!

[@simbamuseka4028]

[@tyali84]

New Sub here. A Happy New Year. I am confused to why people would think leaving Jamaica for Zimbabwe is crazy. I mean Jamaica is as much of a third world region as Zimbabwe.

[@TheMegabushFamily]

Yipeee!! Thanks for subscribing! Yes it’s 3rd world, but I guess because it has a more stable economy and better employment prospects, salaries etc.

[@TheMegabushFamily]

And a Happy New Year to you too!!! 🤗

[@Bourne-fu8bz]

Wow a medical doctor, it takes great humility to hide your profession. I always knew you are from an educated background, the way you talk and behave. About language, l think it's only Kenya, Namibia and Zambia where tribes use English as a bridging language. In Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa, someone automatically assumes you speak the native language if you are black. Careerwise, Zimbabwe is the worst place, you can earn a lot more in Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. You should make more out of your career even if it means working overseas, then come back to Zimbabwe to retire.

[@TheMegabushFamily]

😊😊😊 lovely lovely comment and thank you for the compliment (I generally try not to lead with my profession since it’s not directly related to the channel). About your statement on career, I agree. I have come to realize this while working here. Have tried to do my absolute best, but the profession hasn’t returned the same to me, so we’ve actually been actively thinking about growing ourselves outside as you’ve said, then coming back.

[@snsn7251]

​@@TheMegabushFamilyCome to the UK. We will look after you

[@TheMegabushFamily]

@@snsn7251 😅😅😅😅😅 well think about it 😂

[@DouglasWatts-n5x]

Hie mainini Debbys,the reason they communicate with you in Shona is becoz you are black & you look like an average Zimbabwean.No one can tell u r Jamaican unless u chat patois

[@TheMegabushFamily]

Hi bamkuru 😊 Yes I understand that. But that’s the thing, you actually can’t generally look at most “black” Caribbean or “black” American person and tell what country they’re from. Black doesn’t=Zimbabwean. So with an ever globalizing society, I hope we learn to take cues from the language someone is speaking and just give common courtesy and benefit of a doubt, rather than being rude to them. I’ve met many Zimbabweans who were attentive enough to pick up I must really not be Zimbo, and were accommodating and kind.

[@DouglasWatts-n5x]

@@TheMegabushFamily l agree with you, but the thing is that some pple lack exposure bcoz they have never been out of Zim, compared to some of us who have been to several countries,so we r better informed & we know how things work on a global level.
