*INDEPENDENCE*
Guest Post
By Munya Dembenuzani
Just the thought of the word makes my blood rise.
It makes me wanna hide.
Scores of people annually march to the tide.
Growing up, I was always expected to be in doors by 6, chastisement was the mode of the day as it was "the only way I could understand".
I always topped the chats on the noisemakers list when I thought I was trying to voice my opinions.
What if i'm highly dependent on mama n papa?,
If I can't walk freely without an ID or if I can't shout " bullshit".
Am I eligible to attend the "independence fete?".
What if I'm unemployed?, do I celebrate the declared holiday? Ohhhh wait a minute, wasn't I on holiday all along? Or was I ?
Anyways let me get back to cooking (mbambaira ne madhumbe angu ayaaa zvisat zvatsva) what else can I do if I can't Independently buy bread hangu Kkkkkk

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

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...
