It’s Time Our Government Apologized Over The Covid Vaccine

In our beloved Zimbabwe, a new battle has emerged—not against a visible enemy, but against an invisible virus that has shaken the world to its core. The government, in its quest to protect its people, mandated COVID-19 vaccines for its workers and encouraged widespread vaccination. This move, while rooted in the intention to safeguard public health, has now come under scrutiny. The recent admission by … Continue reading It’s Time Our Government Apologized Over The Covid Vaccine

The Hypocrisy of The Catholic Church

Ah, the hypocrisy of the powerful. The Catholic Church, with its grandeur and its pomp, has a history of blood on its hands. Do you know what happened in the town of Béziers, France, in 1209? The Church, in its infinite wisdom, decided to purge the town of heretics. And what did they do? They burned the entire town to the ground, with 5000 innocent … Continue reading The Hypocrisy of The Catholic Church

True Freedom

Christianity, the religion of love and peace, they say. But let me tell you, it’s been responsible for more deaths than any other religion in the world. The Crusades, the Inquisition, the witch hunts… all in the name of God, all in the name of faith. How many innocent people were burned at the stake, tortured, and killed because they didn’t believe in the ‘right’ … Continue reading True Freedom

The Forgotten Faces of War

War is a devastating reality that often leaves a trail of destruction and despair in its wake.

The Unseen Cost Of Progress

The unseen cost of progress. That’s what they never tell you about. They tout the benefits, the innovations, the advancements. But what about the price we pay? The price we can’t even see? We’re so blinded by the shine of new things, we forget what we’re leaving behind. The old ways, the traditional ways, the ways that made us human. We’re trading our souls for … Continue reading The Unseen Cost Of Progress

Education is Designed to Keep the Poor Poor

In our country’s society, education is often viewed as the ultimate pathway to success and wealth accumulation. From an early age, we are told that studying hard and obtaining a degree will open doors to a prosperous future. However, the stark reality is that our education system, too often, gives false hope to the poor, perpetuating a cycle of poverty rather than breaking it. Consider … Continue reading Education is Designed to Keep the Poor Poor

The Whimsical World of Work-Life Balance

Ah, work-life balance, that elusive unicorn we all chase in the modern-day savannah of our lives. It’s like trying to find a comfortable position on an economy flight—seemingly impossible, yet endlessly pursued. We’re told to lean in, but not too far lest we fall over. We’re encouraged to hustle, yet reminded to stop and smell the roses—which, by the way, are now available in a convenient aerosol can for those too busy to find an actual garden.

Immortality

Immortality. The ultimate heist. The greatest score of all time. We’ve all dreamed of it, of leaving a mark that will outlast us, of being remembered long after we’re gone. But what does it really mean to be immortal? It’s not about living forever. It’s about living a life that matters. A life that leaves a scar, a dent in the universe. A life that … Continue reading Immortality

Why an uprising against Zanu PF is doomed to fail.

I see some people advocating for an uprising against Zanu PF. Have you people thought this through? If you really provoke a crisis, with the populace on one side and the machinery of the Zanu PF executive and the justice department on the other, what’s to keep them from herding us into concentration camps? Do you think they will hesitate to use violence against us? … Continue reading Why an uprising against Zanu PF is doomed to fail.
