Mhai! (Mum)- Inspired by Tocky Vibes song

Image
There is a Zimbabwean artist called 'Tocky Vibes' who has been hitting the airwaves recently. One of his songs has become somewhat of an anthem for me as it touches on a subject which is so close to my heart...it's dedicated to his mother. Basically in this song Tocky is narrating the promise he made to his mother that no matter how much success he will achieve in life he will never forget her (his roots). It is a very grounded song and speaks a very poignant message. For us to be where we are today we didn't get there because of our own ability, determination and fortitude...there have been people supporting us through out the process- and mums are one of our biggest fans. I for one remember all that my mum has done for us as a family and I will forever be grateful. All the love, care, discipline and hard work involved in moulding and shaping us contributed to who we are today. She had to sacrifice pursuing certain endeavours just to ensure that she could be t...

When you do not ask, the answer is already 'No'

Image
John 16:24 “ Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask , and you will receive, that your joy may be full. ” Many times people go through life operating with a victim mentality. Thinking that everyone and everything is against them. Such a worldview makes a person think they are a victim of circumstances and that they do not have any control over what goes on in their life. Something I have come to realise is that often people don’t achieve what they need to, access what they need to, making the progress they need to, accomplish tasks quickly or get to know what they need to etc. just  because of not asking. This failure to ask can be premised on negative self-talk such as ‘No one would be willing to help me’ or ‘I don’t deserve to be helped.’ Apart from this negative self-talk, one other thing which tends to make people not ask is because of pride . Merriam-Webster defines pride as ‘ a feeling that you respect yourself and deserve to be respected by oth...

Reclaiming our nationhood: Unity, Freedom, Work

Image
For the past year or so I had been mulling over this motto on a touch-go basis. The recent developments within our nation precipitated by   ‪#‎ ThisFlag‬   led me to unpack further what I had been thinking over  ‪#‎ ReclaimingOurNationhood‬   This is a quest along the same lines as Ps Evan which saw the reclaiming of our nation's flag in order to make people aware that the Republic of Zimbabwe (the State) belongs to us its people. Chapter 1: Part 4 of our Constitution's Founding Provisions states "Zimbabwe has a National Flag, a National Anthem, a Coat of Arms and a Public seal,..." The current coat of arms of Zimbabwe was adopted on 21 September 1981, 1 year and 5 months after the national flag was adopted. Emblazoned on the Coat of Arms is the Zimbabwean national motto; "Unity, Freedom, Work."  ‪#‎ OurCoatofArms‬ Unity In such a season the danger is for disunity to creep in because of thinking others are doing more than others. Not everyone...
