WHAT HAPPENED...?
It lies deep in the Southern region of Africa
Occupies a small percentage of a 30.37 million square kilometre continent
Some knew it as the breadbasket of Africa
To some, it was a mineral cabinet
But,
What happened?
What happened to Zimbabwe?

Was it corruption that seized its prosperity?
Was it nepotism that hijacked its economy?
Was it greed that resulted in unemployment?
Was it inflation that complicated the exchange rate?
Whatever happened,
We were not prepared for it.
But it still came.

Corruption or not!
The presence or absence of sanctions
Zimbabwe's fate still lies within our hands
We, the Zimbabweans.
You might not be the individual who made the decision,
But someone made the decision on your behalf.
It is no longer an individual's mess.
It is now OUR chaos.
The world is not responsible for the rebuilding of Zimbabwe.
We are.
Fortunately,
We can fix it!
Yes we can!
Those who thought we had reached a dead end,
And laughed at our calamities,
Will lift up their eyes
And marvel at the rise of a new Zimbabwe.
They will ask us,
‘What happened to your economy?’
We will respond,
‘God helped us to revive it’
Them: What happened to your infrastructure?
Us: God helped us to rebuild it
Them: What happened to Zimbabwe?
Us: It rose from the dust
Picked itself up
And rose.
Them: What happened to Zimbabweans?
Us: We established a VISION.

Yes, that's what we'll say to them.
Zimbabwe will rise again!
We shall recreate Zimbabwe.
We shall boost our own economy.
We shall abandon bribery and corruption.
We shall create a name for ourselves.

With God on our side
Who can be against us?
Anything is possible.
We have the power to revive Zimbabwe

We need one important weapon.
One powerful weapon to win this battle of change.
We need LOVE,
Love for our country.
Patriotism!

Let us love our country.
Let us celebrate it!
If not us,
Then who else?
Who will develop Zimbabwe?
With LOVE and UNITY,
We can make it happen.
Let us own our country.
We are Zimbabwe.

Lockdown Easter

“Hallelujah, you have won the victory Hallelujah, you have won it all for me Death could not hold you down You are the risen king Seated in majesty You are the risen king...” The Anthem EASTER. A time to honour the fulfilled prophecy of the Messiah who would be persecuted, die for our sins and rise on the third day ( Isaiah 53 ) . For long, it has been our way to renew daily hope that we have victory over sin. Many Christians worldwide usually gather and celebrate this season with special church services, music, candlelight dinners; not forgetting Easter bunnies, coloured eggs, gift baskets, and flowers. It has always been a time of joy and union for many families. However, things have drastically changed. Who knew that the entire continent would be faced with a catastrophic pandemic that would wipe away millions from this Earth? The Coronavirus, also known as Covid-19, has taken the Universe on a spin with multitudes in quarantine, self-isolation, or lockdown. As busines

Why I would travel back in Time-SDG 3

Image
It’s still as small as a grain of sand, yet has a great impact on mankind. It was meant to be sweet yet it has suddenly turned sour. It was once the best thing that was discovered by Asians but has become the source of illness for over 425 million people in the world. Everyone seems to like it, but l can no longer stand the taste of it. We have all consumed gallons of it, but it is only a matter of time till we face the consequences. I would travel back in time to stop the Refinement of sugar. I used to blame the Asians for discovering sugarcane. I mean, who would have thought that tall, fibrous grass, the world’s largest crop by production quantity that produces the sugar, would have caused diabetes (one of the lead causes of death in the world). However, after devoting seven years of my life towards studying sugar, l realised that the discovery of it wasn’t a problem but those who started it’s refinement about the year 1500 laid the foundation of suffering for most sugar consumer

I am not quite sure when l became an actual leader. It is only now that l identify myself as a global leader because someone told me that it suits me(chuckle). Over the years l have noticed that people start behaving as leaders when they are given a certain task or role by someone. It is more like being handed a jacket. The jacket becomes the leadership role you are taking up. You put it on with so much pride and happiness knowing that you have been honoured by being handed the jacket of leadership. But
