Zuva ne zuva  ndini zvangu,
kufumorova dova kuseni
kunoshandirawo mhuri yangu,

Hembe iyoyo yakabvepi?

saka apa wanangepi?

havadi kundiona ndichiseva nenyama,
havadi kundiona ndichifamba nemota,
zuva ne zuva vanongondigaira,
moyo yavo ichiti dai ndawira
vondicherera gomba ndiri mupenyu!
kutonyora gwaro rehupenyu hwangu,

manje Mwari ndewe munhu wese...

My obituary to Rev E Kamupira

      Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga   Rev E Kamupira was my childhood model of Christianity, his teachings resonated well and shaped my beliefs. I knew Rev E Kamupira since my Sunday School days at St Stephens Chitungwiza Circuit. Sundays weren’t   the same each time Rev Kamupira came to preach.   Rev Kamupira was a product of United Methodist Church crusade of teachings though he had a Pentecostal touch that kind of made him popular   within and without of United Methodist Church. His fearless gospel suited well with congregants in an independent Zimbabwe.   From hearing   his teachings far away from the terraces I ended up privileged sharing the same church with Rev Kamupira in Waterfalls. I had also rose to a promising Administrator in the United Methodist Church. I had a mutual relationship with Elison Kamupira. We discussed our church current affairs and shared the gospel. Rev Kamupira was a very respectful person who ...

It’s Not The End Of The World

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga    This story is based on a true story and I have edited names so that someone is inspired out there. Resilience makes great changes in people's lives, don't commit Suicide     Fadzai sat on the edge of her bed, feeling empty and defeated. She had never felt so alone in her life. Thomas’s brief and dismissive response on the phone had left her reeling. She thought about her daughter, Rungano, who was now misbehaving at school, and how she was struggling to cope with the absence of her father.   Thomas had gone to South Africa for greener pastures leaving Fadzai with their only daughter behind. The plan was to relocate to South Africa as soon as Thomas had settled. In the first six months Thomas supported Fadzai with groceries, school fees and rentals. A shift began after Thomas had started seeing other women in South Africa. Thomas started sending money enough for rentals, school fees and a few groceries. The...

The Power of Family Influence

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga The African proverb "charity begins at home" takes on a deeper meaning when we consider the profound impact of family on our lives. As I reflect on my own experiences, I realize that the values, beliefs, and behaviors we learn from our families shape us in ways that are both visible and invisible.   As a former restaurant manager, I noticed that people's behavior in public spaces was often a reflection of their home environment. Some patrons would leave the toilet spotless, while others would leave it in disarray. The effort we put into maintaining hygiene in our kitchens is often mirrored in our public behavior. This observation led me to realize that our family's influence extends far beyond our childhood years.   Our parents' behavior, expectations, and values are imprinted on us from a young age. We mimic their actions, adopt their beliefs, and internalize their criticisms. As we grow older, we begin to make choic...
