I have not been to church in a few years because of the unrelenting fury and after effects of COVID-19. Yes, COVID-19 has pushed us farther away from church and government has failed to acknowledge this and duly put the right programmes in place to...
The world nowadays has absolutely no mercy whatsoever for men kissing a woman that is not their wife, girlfriend or small house. In football nowadays you cannot get away with anything.They have a contraption called VAR. It captures every sin...
People are also apparently too lazy to sell cats if they have any. Usually you find there’s a cat in your household and you wonder where it came from. Most of the time the cat is a great grandson to the cat that your great grandfather once owned...
Obviously this also arms the naysayers to spew vitriol and trash his campaign. The current rallying cry by our President goes something like ‘Re chenchile’ But hold on, we have not changed as yet.Until we all as a country work with SPEDU speed...
Work? Usually such grand and strange ideas don’t always work. The whole purpose of legislation is to come up with something that will satiate the masses but it doesn’t necessarily have to work.So the idea is that a politician or a Minister could...
From athletes diving over finish lines to athletes winning races and promptly having their gender being called into question. From athletes smoking devil’s lettuce on the eve of a premier athletics meet to athletes to officials ‘eating’...
Around mid-next year we voters should be fine and just like the Stella in the novel our groove will be back. Our stock should rise and nudge blue-chip level. We were served a trailer in recent by-elections. To those still stuck in the pre-millennial...

The biggest menace is – and I am saying this with a straight and very serious face - the parking marshal. Now everyone knows that for you to get a parking space requires you to drive around the block around 300 times. When you finally find a...
What was supposed to be an afternoon of fun quickly degenerated into a farce. Spectators at the Toyota Desert Race lost it. It seems the whole country is caught up in some silent competition to get the best pictures of any event they attend.So when...
I am thinking here of jingles like ‘After doing the nice and nasty at the Desert Race do not forget the constitutional visit to our pharmacies dotted around our villages and towns’. But I must ease up on talking about these peripheral issues of...
We just wanna talk so there’s no need to panic. We just wanna find out why they decided it should be during the coldest time of the year. As I write, there’s a menacing cold front creeping in to scupper those Father’s Day plans and put paid to...
