Racism is alive and well
February 13, 2012
Brendah Nyakudya was the first to ‘inform me’ of the Virgin Active Gym race issue issue. I say ‘inform me’ but she was merely tweeting about this incident and I was listening/reading as I was preparing to leave work after yet another one of those hectic Mondays. You don’t want to know about my Monday by […]
Julius Malema on Carte Blanche
November 20, 2011
Last Sunday I arrived home just in time for the Julius interview on Carte Blanche. I’ve always been fascinated by this individual if I’m being honest. I even wrote about how Zimbabwe needed a Julius Malema. Some disagreed with me however many in my opinion never actually read the entire blog to fully understand where […]
Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s recent rant
October 5, 2011
Whilst I don’t proclaim to be an ‘expert’ on South Africa and/or its foreign policy, I feel I must say something in light on the recent rant by our beloved Archbishop Desmond Tutu. I don’t want to necessarily comment on the Dalai Lama’s visa application as I feel this is a matter for the South […]
Zimbabwe needs a Julius Malema
August 1, 2011
A few months ago, I was interviewed by a local journalist. I guess she wanted to pick my brain about a few things. I’m in business so naturally time is critical to me. Before we met I asked her how long the interview would take. She informed me that it wouldn’t take slightly longer than […]

Is South Africa better than Africa?
August 15, 2010
Is South Africa better than Africa?, posted with vodpod According to Wikipedia ‘Xenophobia is the uncontrollable fear of foreigners’. I know that fear has an effect that I don’t know or fully understand. I also appreciate that everyone is different and fear is relative. I stumbled across this video on Khaya Dlanga’s YouTube account. What Khaya […]

To vuvuzela or not to vuvuzela – that is the question?
June 16, 2010
As I watch the world cup games I cannot hide my African pride! I am sufficiently grinning for 3 people I tell you! In fact I’ve been beaming like this ever since the opening ceremony last Friday. Part of me, I have to admit, remembers all those doubters who thought all those stadia and the […]

About me
‘Life is a journey and not a destination’ or so I’ve heard. This is part of my journey…What began as a simple blog to house my art eventually turned into a hub where my various thoughts are documented and displayed. I discuss life in general, my constant love affair with Zimbabwe and indeed the continent as a whole. I am absolutely in love with the entrepreneurial journey – constantly reading about it and trying in my own way to live it. I guess this blog documents my journey - walk with me for a while….
