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 always put others before him.

 

The church found it valuable to add him to the list of clergy, Rev Kamupira took a long time as a preacher before he was ordained to full ministry. It wouldn’t be befitting to list Rev Kamupira’s success without mentioning his wife popularly referred to Amai Kudzi.

 

I say condolences to Amai Kudzi, family, United Methodist Church fraternity, Nyaradzo family and the whole Christian fraternity.

 

Go well Elison Kamupira, your preaching, teachings will live forever.

Greener Pastures Do Not Secure A Fat Cow

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Just like cows seeking greener pastures, humans are drawn to opportunities that promise better living standards. However, I pose a critical question: do greener pastures truly guarantee prosperity if the underlying conditions are flawed? Perhaps the lack of progress is not due to the absence of opportunities, but rather the result of haphazard approaches, poor planning, and neglected resources. In the pursuit of a better life, many Africans seek opportunities in diaspora, enticed by promises of higher salaries and improved living standards. Yet, I firmly believe that true fulfillment and lasting impact can only be achieved by addressing the underlying conditions that hinder our progress in our own autonomous land – a land where we have territorial integrity. These underlying conditions include : 1. Absent value creation mechanisms : Failing to harness value from our resources and talents, instead relying on others for validation. 2. Disunity : Lac...

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...
