Blame Me: No One Else

The Blame

104 Mhlanga Avenue, MBARE

By Richard Fani


25years old man yet still living in my grandmother’s house have average education and like to take initiative. However, circumstances around me dictate my everyday life. No opportunities lie ahead for me. The future for me is definitely uncertain. All I can see are the people to and the reasons to BLAME. Yeah, (point that finger).

I blame it all on the incompetent government. Those policy makers owe me the riches I never had. Thieves in government suits and driving government cars and spending loyal tax payers’ money (my money). If only my country was governed by an accountable government, I know for a fact that I would have finished school, I would have a job, a decent income and I would have a better future. So yeah, blame the government.

May I please go further and blame corruption. Blame it all on the corrupt officials, the police, the prosecutors, the judges, the tax collectors, the price regulators and not forgetting the honorable members of the House of Assembly. In a world where criminals have lots and the educated, business people struggles to make it work with degraded infrastructure, extreme poor conditions, hospitals have no working doctors, nurses and no medication. Corruption has given rise to rich criminals, poor doctors, teachers, accountants and philosophers. Kkkkkk aya ndo majokes manje. 

Why not blame it on the Chinese and their cheap products? What have they done for me recently? Only a fool and his family benefiting from this crap can align common sense in a long term relationship with the Chinese nonsense. They still think they are in China where there is plenty of cheap labour. I see my brothers been enforced into modern day slavery (working for peanuts), like really in the country that our fore fathers died for? Asking and begging for jobs in the motherland from a foreign engineer, like we don’t have engineers graduating from UZ and NUST every year. Haaa Mbuya Nehanda vachamuka one of these days.

Let me go further and blame it on 104 Mhlanga Avenue, MBARE. This is my birth place, my birth defect. Mbare has done nothing for me but brought me shame, pain, rejection, anger and this BOMB-attitude. It took away all the respect I had for my elders; above all it is the cause of all the blame. It is the reason why I blame corruption, the government, my high school teachers, the City Council, po-lice, employers, law makers, business owners and all those who do not believe that I can do anything because of my home address.

OK Richard Fani, now that you’ve blamed everyone and everything around you, are you satisfied? Is it enough for you? Take a look in the mirror and you’ll see the person whom you should blame the most, (that’s ME). You owe yourself a mental and physical challenge. What have you done for yourself lately? What change have you brought? What initiative have you fostered? Stop blaming everyone for your own misery stand up for yourself spread your wings and live your life. The Victim Mentality you have is a mental disease, you got a choice either to remain a victim or become a victor by rising to and facing your life challenges. Always remember this bro, “Whenever you point a finger to someone, the other three fingers points right back at you, Richard Fani”.

Why most companies are failing in Zimbabwe.

Why most companies are failing in Zimbabwe. How you can avoid business failure. By Richard Fani Why are most companies failing in Zimbabwe? There are various reasons which are causing businesses to fail in the modern day Zimbabwe. These reasons include the economic instability of the country, lack of creativity and innovation, the failure to establish real brand equity, copycats among many others. Although some of the causes of failure in business may be avoided, there are some which are beyond the business owner’s control. Entrepreneurs are lacking the ability to adapt to the changes of the times. There is continuous upgrading of technology every day, old systems are being replaced by new ones. It is very essential that entrepreneurs should hire people who can help in identifying and educate them about the importance of technology. Econet Zimbabwe provides a level of creativity and adaptability that I absolutely salute. This always gives the company an upper hand against co...

104 Mhlanga Avenue, MBARE By Richard Fani My home address itself signifies violence. Your perception about me is associated with criminology, drug using, sex offending and many other negativity. You think my body is tattooed from head to toes. Instead of asking me which church I go to, you ask me how many times I’ve been arrested? Is it a sin? Is it a crime? Is my fault that I was born in the low income house suburb (ghetto?) Is it my fault that I couldn’t finish high school because my mother couldn’t afford that for her four bad boys? Your analogy and perceptions about me is clearly mis-OVER-stood, f*cked up. (Yeah, I know you been wondering when I would say the F-WORD, so f*ck it) My home address is my birth defect. It’s hard to get a job out there and even harder to keep it. Employers just don’t trust my physical address. So, whenever they ask for a CV I fabricate where I’m coming from just so they can accept me. Human Resource conducts an employee audit and re...

The Young Brave Girl

The Young Brave Girl I saw resistance to be bullied by an older guy in the eyes of this young girl from Nharira Primary School in Mbare. She stood there like she was ready to hit the guy with everything she had, or maybe she really would have.   I believe what scared the guy the most was the fearlessness in the eyes, voice tone, and body language of this young girl. What scared the guy the most was that the girl was prepared to lose everything whilst he was not willing to take that chance. I would really want to see many young girls who can resist being bullied buy their fellow male counterparts. I want to see people who can refuse to be bullied by circumstances in life. I want you to challenge your fears, face them and show them that the time to be scared has passed now. Some battles are not won by the fist but by the courage, discipline and the determination to win. A lot of girls would have said well he is a guy and I’m just a girl what can I do? He is much ol...
