How long must this carry on for!

Yestersay on 6 March 2009 marked the day of another controversy in Zimbabwean territory! A subject i cannot speak completely free about for obvious reasons! I am a Zimbabwean national who has his country at heart and I hope to see a country of promise restore its position as the bread basket of Africa. i shall write on some things that are disappointing and I feel need to be talked for the better of the masses who reside in Zimbabwe. Today I will write about disappointmens in Zimbabwe rocked by events of 6 March 2009.

I am not proud of African politics because it is not developed to meet the standards of a civilised people. It is no doubt that Africans are a civilised people as we achieved some of the same acolades achieved by Europeans, Americans and the likes. Why is it that in the field of politics we are not progressing. Africa is plagued by constant fighting over resources, power and leadership. North to South, East to West there is this problem. Majorly in countries such as Kenya, Swaziland, Guinea, Ivory Coast, D.R.C and Rwanda, not forgetting Zimbabwe itself. I would like to acknowledge the determination of a man who has gone through a lot of troubles just to put across his beliefs and desires. Although i am not fond of his leadership qualities I am fond of his strong will to improve Zimbabwe. He lost his wife in a car accident that took place yesterday on his way to Buhera. His wife was someone who accompanied him to rallies, events, court rulings and in his campaigns. It is a sad huge loss for Zimbabwe and I hope her strength remains in Morgan Tsvangirai as he recovers and carries on in his duties as Prime Minister.

It is difficult to make a judgement of the accident to determine whether it was an accident or not but i cannot say i believe either of the political sides. Some say it was set up for him to die but look at Zimababwean roads. How many people have we lost this year alone in the 3 months we have encountered. I know of 5 people who died because of car accidents. Wat makes Morgan Tsvangirai untouchable. It could have been a genuine accident. Although the lorry that hit their car is a bit questionable as to why it hit Tsvangirai's car worst. On the other hand it is difficult for a car in the middle of a convoy to avoid an oncoming vehicle. BBC news has been showing videos of the President going to visit the Prime Minister in hospital which is good for rival figures. What I found strange was all the political figures who are against the Prime Minister were also there to pass on their condolences. The same people that spend days and nights torturing each other with lawsuits and violence then going to visit that person in hospital. Isnt it more productive for people to clash with words rather than with resources and violence and then put on a fake smile for us on tv to show remorse. We need to see growth from these people. If you can go on the news and say bad things about someone, how do you get remorse when that person is suffering in hospital after losing what was a rock in their life.

Politicians behave like children fighting over isues that can be discussed in a day. They all lose loved ones because of this fighting which at times does not achieve anything. It causes deep pain. They fight to remove each other from positions, fight to get someone banned from movement yet they can mingle in a room where they wear their smart suits but fail to come to an agreement. Yet millions of people have to wake up and think of what their breakfast will consist of. Not because they are undecided but because there isnt anything to eat so they must look for something to eat. What I cannot believe is that a very small group of people is controlling a nations wealth. How do you live in a world where you do not notice the consequences of your actions. How do you not wake up one day and say these are my people, they deserve better! how do you not say enough is enough there are other people in this country who must live. Up to 7 million people may not have enough food to eat this year. They will need aid from the same organisations that are restricted from operating freely. I am a person that has a heart to help those that need it. I hope in my quest for a good life I can help those that do not have the opportunity to get an education and travel the world.

Some of the events that take place in Zimbabwe inspire me to take a role in politics. Unfortunately it would be contradiciting the works of family members which would put them in very tricky positions. I shall watch from a distance but I will make my voice heard in the struggle for a better Zimbabwe. Those that do take this initiative please can you take responsinility and put your country first and do your job!

R.I.P Susan Tsvangirai!!! your works are truely appreciated

Who r u?

I'm back again to get the ball rolling. make things more interesting. Bring out new things that i want to talk about! A Pastor from the Celebration Church graced us with his presence here in Malaysia and challenged us as youths to ask ourselves who we r. Thats the topic for today!

It is easy today for us to say we know who we are but if we are to write out who we are it may take more than just a swift movement of the hand across the page. Well in my case ive had to constantly ask myself who I am because of negative vibes from 3rd parties. Unfortunately I am a reserved person when it comes to personal issues. I know its natural for us to want to tell someone a story that we here elsewhere. It can be termed gossiping but we like to share as people. Its natural and i dont blame people for sharing but its how you share. Some people share as to denounce or destroy and I am not one to say that I am not guilty of such acts. I do try my best not to speak lowly of someone. If i really have to air my view I tell the same few people. The point is sometimes people end up shaping up your character because you constantly try to create this image that you are wonderful and perfect. we all honestly know noone is perfect but we never seize to judge.

The same judgements hurt the same people we look upon for help. Instead of looking at things at a more constructive view we like to criticise strongly. I am a person that goes for different things. I try to stick out of the crowd. There were some disgusting things people said when i had the crazy hair over the last 2 years. What i dont understand is that the same people went and did the same thing. I then wonder so what made it so bad on me that it works on you. Ridiculous jealousy or whatever it is must be bottled and kept in that small head of that person. I know who i am so those things to me pushed me on to do it more just so that they spent that bit longer talking about me. Pretty lame but hey hate mail is better than no mail. It will push me on to get what i am destined to get. My character is strong and will push me on to dreams some of you never thought i would have or may achieve. If you find yourself doing something that is different but morally correct then go ahead because you are different. Dont be another spot in the crowd. Dont spend time picking out what makes someone different. Make yourself different. When Bill Gates came up with the plan that every home will have one of his computers some punk even in his circle of trust looked at him and said your on drugs. What does that tell you?

There are times when we do things we feel are things right for us and although it doesnt quite fit into our life we try make it fit. It can come in any form. Whether it is a person you want to date, clubbing etc. Leave it if its not for you. It does take a long time to adjust to that change but when you do, you will notice the difference. Ive held onto things and I ask myself all the time why am I holding onto this. Its poison to my juice. Pour it down the drain. Its not adding to your dreams but slowing them down or even stopping them from being fulfilled. You may feel your purpose but that thing stops you from fulfilling it. I hope I have found that purpose that will support my passion for helping people. Move on with your head high because everytime you meet rotten air it should be missed by the nose. Where you are going has more importance than the polluted air circulating your nostrils.

Lose those people that shatter your dreams, those people who say what makes you think you can do it. lose those people who say just because you are from Zimbabwe, Africa or poor background you cant go where you plan to go. lose those people who say black people, asians and latinos are stupid, lazy and uneducated. Some of the people its through their failures that they discourage others to go for their dreams. In Malaysia theres a big problem with this issue as well as in Zimbabwe. I know so from some of my close friends who get discouraged for their plans to travel the world just because they are black or Zimbabwean. If you are going to do something, do it full heartedly and not half heartedly! There are haters, there are jealous dogs and envious rats but brush it off like dirt. Thats what they are!
