ZIMBABWEANS STARVE AS THE POWER-SHARING TALKS GO ON AND ITS LEADERS AND THE WORLD LOOKS ON WITH INDIFFERENCE
Some rural folk in Zimbabwe are now relying on wild fruits which are quickly running out. Quite a number of them have died from hunger and starvation. If only the goevernment had not banned the NGOs (Non Governmental Organisations) who were donating food to the poor the number of deaths would not be that much.
The townsfolk have not been spared from this hunger and starvation mainly because of the low bank withdrawal limits set by the Reserve Bank Governor which make it immpossible for them to buy the highly priced food items as and when they need them. Read more

Hello!
Phanuel Muverengwi here…
I hope that I find you in the best of health.
In my previous installment I asked the question: WHY DO YOU WANT TO LIVE LONG? I argued in the installment that there are people who live long, in terms of number of years, yet their long lives benefit nobody. I also argued that some people have lived very short lives but managed to bring lots of benefits to others in that short space of time. I might just as well argue that the short lives lived by such people are in reality longer than the long lives lived by some, in terms of value.
I went on to state that a truly rewarding life is one spent in selflessness, not selfishness. Before departing, I asked you a question which goes, “What is the single attribute without which one cannot be selfless?” I hope that you now have the answer to this question. Read more

Why do you want to live long?
Filed under: Inspire & motivate, Spirituality for such a time
A man lying on his deathbed says, “I wish God would give me more years.” Even people who are not Christians begin to talk about God the moment they realize that they are dying.
When people celebrate a colleague’s or relative’s birthday, they always say, “We wish you many more years to come.”
If someone asked you how long you would live if you had a choice you most probably would reply, “Forever.”
People generally want to live long. The aged want to live long. The young want to live long. People are generally agreed that it is better to live long than die early. They have managed to define WHAT they want. Read more
How God arrested me
Filed under: Inspire & motivate, Spirituality for such a time
To say the truth, I was completely puzzled when God arrested me.
It had never come to my mind that God was all this time trailing me. You might be in the same situation today. You’ve got to keep in mind that God is trailing you and will not give up on you. But you need to come to a point of being attentive for you to hear and heed the call. If you become too busy about too many things you might miss that which is most important to you. I will walk you through my personal experience just to prove that there are several ways that God could get hold of straying people.
I graduated from the University of Zimbabwe in 1991 after obtaining a Bsc. Honours Degree in Economics. When I was still at college I thought that I would get a job soon after completing my studies. I became even more convinced about this when I passed well in the final examinations; I do not, however, mean that passing well was a new experience for me. Read more
