Till Death Do Us Part

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga

Life’s main activity is production. All other pursuits support productivity. One must process something into value, making the means and ends their own. A person must utilize their environment to cast out their outstanding strength, which they depend on.

The Role of Marriage

Partnership emerges as a way to support and secure the competency of the household. In this process, individuals choose a reliable partner to share with. The union becomes a cornerstone for productivity, growth, and survival.

The First Support

A person’s genuine support, before engaging in other pursuits, is a strong partner. Soon after acquiring enough stability, one should convince their partner to join them. Detaching from reliance on others, they should confide in their partner to navigate life’s obstacles.

The Choice of Values

The choice of values and principles should align with the couple’s shared approach to overcoming challenges. This harmony enables them to build a strong foundation for their partnership.

The Duties of a Strong Partner

1. Carry the Destiny: A partner should remind their significant other of their shared goals and aspirations, ensuring they stay on track.

2. Advisory Role: A partner should provide guidance and support to foster abundance in their family’s life.

3. Care Domain: A partner should be the craftsman of care, ensuring a balanced diet, hygiene, comfort, and well-being in their home.

4. Beauty: A partner should cultivate a welcoming environment, making their home a haven.

5. Morality: A partner should design and uphold the moral fabric of their family, promoting a good reputation.

6. Reproduction: A partner should nurture and educate their children, imparting valuable life lessons.

Redefining Production

Production encompasses all aspects of survival and growth. It’s the process of converting plans into tangible results. From an accountant’s calculations to a farmer’s harvest, every contribution counts. Even the simplest acts, like a mother’s care, are vital to the production of a healthy, thriving family.

Balancing Roles

For a harmonious partnership, both individuals must accept and respect each other’s unique roles and strengths. By doing so, they can work together seamlessly, supporting each other’s endeavors.

Mutual Support

Partners should work together, leveraging their individual strengths to create a balanced and prosperous life. While the partner focused on household duties is the primary caretaker, the other partner can contribute by generating resources and supporting the family’s well-being.

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...

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...
