Mental health is the core of all aspects of health. This is more so with the sad loss of life through suicides. These have involved various age groups and gender and have affected communities and families negatively. At Refined Magazine Zimbabwe we believe that it is not a matter that should be ignored. In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, Lotus Wellness Spa collaborated with Leonard Makoni to offer mental wellness services to the Spa’s patrons.

We are excited for the residents of Madokero and the surrounding suburbs who now have access to fantastic food and fun, shops and services within the environs of the community. After the recent opening of the Madokero Mall residents no longer have to travel to Westgate or the Harare central business district to access upmarket and sophisticated retail and food outlets as well as service providers. The Mall is another development by Terrace Africa who built and manages Borrowdale Walk, Chinamano Corner and the new Highland Park shopping malls. Michael Nott walks us through the development and the carefully selected tenants and activities.
