The Youth Inspirator

After reading a statement said by one of my friends on a Facebook wall...... “Masvingo is hot, Home sucks...” I had this feeling in everything one irks about u have a hand in it. So I decided to pen it down because it day to day phenomena we cry about and never seek to address.   My reply was Home is what you make it. It was hush I guess but a true reflection. Think who on earth will come and make your home sweet and nice. My answer is you personally. This took my mind way back when a colleague said people at his work place are mere fools...well the exception of him...may be. To me he was simply telling me a fool he was. Every day he wakes up to spend the whole day with fools, 5 days a week. May be he liked the job but never did anything to develop the so called fools to be wise. You happen to see that we cannot stop complaining of a situation yet we are ignorant to rectify the anomalies.   Our sphere of influence determines how our surrounding is like. If we fail to ...

Whenever we mention ownership we reluctantly scrutinize who actually owns, be it a car, house, organisation, political party or even the country. We tend to limit ourselves to personal possession. Ownership covers a great ideal of setups. It goes beyond an individual; it stretches to family, community, society, district, province, country and the entire globe. It is also not limited to monetary terms but goes also to values, norms among other intangibles we attach to personality identification or culture. A bad leader ties ownership to personal possession. Mind you the two are totally different, where ownership holds future responsibilities and personal possession is limited to a person’s life time. Every day of our life, we intend to establish ownership by creating wealth, space, value among many aspect we identify as good, for our children for the least and the future generation to come. Realising such a juncture need attributes of a good leader to understand how ownership agains...

Daddy has been busy with work and relieving stress which made him to come around 11pm. one day his 5 yr old son waits for him: Son: How was work daddy?

Today student activism has been limited to the agenda of creating factions within the youth movement intermingled with power struggle. It has lost its known mandate limiting it to fighting for better food crumbs from the university rather than national issues. However, we might want to blame today’s student activist and cadres over this juncture and forget the main cause. We might want to argue that they are living in harsh time Zimbabwe has have recorded since student life. I want to share the crippling of the student activism. Prior 2006, where free university and icing with grants gave the then students to manoeuvre into scrutinising policies set for the nation. They saw themselves as future victims to any enactments that they saw adverse. This was coloured by mass student protests which began to be the trend of the University of Zimbabwe students under the leadership of cde Mutamabara, cde Jongwe among others. This set the record straight and defined student activism for the na...

My story in the 7 billion actions http://www.7billionactions.org/story/770-the-youth-inspirator

Democracy has perspective that differ with countries but in most African nations, it is limited to voting which at times is not free and fair. In western countries it spreads to participation at any level or structure by the masses. It is these principles youth absorb and will protect noting the vibrancy of western world youth than the counterparts in the developing world. It have come to be a true fact that in developing nations, democracy have been limited to voting and it is this shame that have seen youth absconding the electoral processes which are shrouded with a litany of anomalies like intimidation, massive vote rigging, media propaganda. i have been watching South African Municipal election campaign. i had the view that it has a better electoral system but amiss its just the same old story with elections in Africa. My question is this because of revolutionary parties that fear their end? or is it the African norm of democratic elections? the worst is this have see...
