Consult the elders who move in Christ

The church have been closed for a while now. Forgive me I failed mathematics because I wasn’t able to calculate x+y, bx-lp whatever the letters were. This vexed my whole mathematical logic to an extent that I am even loosing count of the additions of the days of restrictions. The church gatherings were closed but

A letter to Deqo

My beloved DeqoI’m writing this letter to inform you that we are having a conversation as Afrikan bloggers for a whole month. On day 13 of the challenge we are writing about one notable African personality I would love to meet and probably the reason. The challenge I had when I saw this was my

Wars in the mind

I have so many incoherent questions spinning spinning and spinning in my head. Feel like exploding. The one rolling the questions is exerting too much force for me to bear. I can’t bear it! I can’t bear it! A few hours ago the nation called Zimbabwe is claimed to have conducted a national prayer. Yes

In search of the African Spirit

It’s difficult for one of my age to imagine things, especially those perceived to be of great significance. We have been dreaming for years to an extent that we no longer trust our dreaming. Those dreams that targeted gracious ownership of a beautiful wife, a dream car, a dream house and fully loaded pocket. Now

Shona proverbs and their wisdom vibes

I am an awful translator. As a village boy I have a number of proverbs that I enjoy. All these years I never felt compelled to think and talk of them in some other language. Having joined Afrobloggers I am here thinking of the wisdom of my forebears. Sayings that are profound in every way

Representation and Branding

I’m not a staunch lover of brands. I’m suspicious of great names. My vandetta with them are historical. But as I am writing I am beginning to think I never thought of naming what I want to represent. There is power in naming. So thank Afrobloggers for bringing in these tasks that manifest their profoundness

My. Former Learner and Me: A conversation

I wasn’t planning on this one, then life happened. Something whispered document this conversation. You know what it is with a writer who thinks the business of the writings on the space owned by him or her are unpopular opinions. Without delving into this one, allow me to apologize for breaking the vow. Today’s topic

Dialogue-ing through reading and writing

Introductory musings Is there anything as difficult as suggesting activities to be avoided in a sphere you recently entered. If I had a choice, I think I should be sitting reading and taking down notes. The vow I made is making noise, so I’m scribbling my nonsense before I go to your site to take

Of Bloggers from The House of Stone

I have mentioned this earlier, I’m not a fan of the internet. With all honest I’m suspicious of technologies: lifts, aeroplanes, computers, x-rays just to mention a few. But I’m in a trap. I am not able to escape it. As I was growing up, questions popped up my head. I began problematising these thoughts.

The (un) sociability of social media

The (un) sociality of social media From the longest to the shortest. I’m not a social media person. I thought of the titular line in relation to the forceful power of opposites which we have migrated with from our lives outside the ground which has been termed social media. By ‘opposites’ I mean the extreme
