Rufaro nice thread and very interesting . Here in South Africa , Zimbabwe is again in the news for the wrong reason with much doom and gloom so it is inspiring to hear and read about your successes in a tough and challenging situation .

Your succulents posted 5 months back - the first one looks like a member of the Sedum genus and r popularly know as jelly bean plants.Most of the members of the Sedum genus are from the Northern Hemisphere The 2nd picture looks more interesting and could be a member of the Cotyledon or Kalanchoe genus. Zimbabwe has a rich and diverse flora and is well represented with  succulents. I visited Zimbabwe in 1990 but was not interested in botany in those days but I would  plan to re visit Zimbabwe and explore the wonderful flora it has to offer
