Participants' Comments on the Motivational Seminar

The 17th of November was a day filled with creative and arts motivation at the bookcafe with a lot of activities lined up in celebration of art and creativity. We all gathered in the morning of this day waiting for the motivational speech by Seasone our guest a Zimbabwean born UK based Hip hop artist. She gave a lot of positive insight about how to balance arts with school, with work and with family chores. She illustrated on the issues of being committed, resilient and hardworking.

The Artist/Motivator gave a long narrative of her life. She started her art and her singing during her school days at Queen Elizabeth high school in Harare. Her art is more based on childrights and she believes in meaning, purpose and a positive attitude. Participants at the seminar were quite touched this was realised during the brainstorming session and the comments they gave after the seminar. Seasone aka Pamela Mandaza is leaving for the United Kingdom after a 2 week stay in Zimbabwe. Underneath are participants comments. Present at the seminar is our reknowned theatre practitioner Pretty Xaba.

The Belle of Words- Janet Nkiwane!- Special blog.

THE PHOENIX As the first rays of dawn lick the dusty streets of Makokoba township Noise already fills the atmosphere Stench from the blocked sewers fills the air As i stand on the veranda of my match box home, Clad in a thread bare attire, with an empty stomach I look over the horizon The rising sun rejuvenates my inner being In the midst of poverty I still stand my head held up high Though my inner being has withered My zeal to live has departed I still stand I stand against the obstacles in my path All of these my determined self shall bravely brush away Like a phoenix I will rise from the ashes Fly away so high Dance in the air like a bird For I have chosen freedom In the midst of poverty Education is my priority Education shall wash away my poverty It shall be a shield that once attained, will forever Shield my hide from the scorching rays of the sun From the storms and hunger That awaits to devour my inner being I s

Clean water and Sanitation- What about women and girls in war zones?

For more than three decades Africa has been in serious war challenges due to various political , social and economic reasons. Many people have died in the whole war and cheap military drama . Have we ever thought as a continent about the plight of women and girls in war zones? Women due to the nature of their creation require a maximum of two times bath a day . I don’t imagine a war situation giving such a chance to our women running away with their lives from war zones. They will be no time and even that dirty water to bath what more of toilets and sanitary pads in war bases and bushes. This article is written by Mbizo Chirasha Picture by nairaland.

Women are human species that require maximum hygiene and care. In Sudan they travel miles and miles through stretching deserts to Algeria
