"I was upset and got stressed up when my parents divorced in 1983. It was difficult to witness my mother's struggles which were brought on by divorce. My mother’s sister, Mrs. Goto, offered us lodgings at her spacious Westwood home, which she had converted in to a flat. At the age of 13 I used to walk from Westwood to Kambuzuma for school.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa's involvement in the Gukurahundi atrocities, coupled with his realisation that he could not win elections, led him to orchestrate a coup that overthrew his predecessor, the late Robert Mugabe, former Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) deputy director Lovemore Mukandi has claimed.

Rudo Muzondo: "I was frozen for a moment, not breathing just seated still like a tombstone, my mother’s sermons echoing loud in my conscience.

I let go of Tsunami's embrace, retained my composure and smiled warmly at the old woman, pointing where I had seen the restroom signs. For a few seconds, she didn't blink a bit, she cast an enigmatic gaze at me.
Her gaze was worth ten pages of a dialogue, the fleeting glimmer in her eyes was almost liquid. Though her words were restrained, she spoke a great deal of counsel, I listened to what she wasn’t saying, yet I heard her loud and clear.
Before she surrendered her gaze, she blinked twice and I saw my own mother staring back at me through her eyes. In that instant, I knew the nature of her debt, a mother's intuition. I lost my balance and my feet faltered a bit as I tried to recollect my decorum.
"Are you alright?", Tsunami muttered as he pulled me firmly closer to him.
