God Forbid!!

The unprecedented loss of property lives and happiness.

I am penning down this short message of bereavement, literary, with eyes rolling down my soft and tender chicks, a true mirror reflection of the feelings and emotions of the entirety of our people, both Zimbabweans and non Zimbabweans all united under a common identification of humanity. I am mentally surged, emotionally soaked and physically derailed by the developments in my home province, my neighbourhood and area of origin.

Following the unpredictable loss of both human and animal life, and the unimaginable loss of property after the ferocious jetting in of Cyclone Idai being a product of the tropical storm that began last Friday in Manicaland .Furious winds moving at 177 km/hr (106 mph) swept across Mozambique into the motherland hitting hard on Chimanimani, Chipinge and latter Masvingo, regrettably our Zimbabwean government was caught in flagranto, undisputedly pants down, cavorting in the dark alleys of relaxation and negligence.

Having gone through extensive rainfall from Friday that later insinuated unexpectedly into massive floods that were to tear apart the land consuming into lives of mostly the unaware Zimbabwean citizens. Manicaland has been left perplexed by this uncommon and unwanted experience.More than 157 people literally gone, dead and unrecoverable, scores injured and crippled, not to mention the utter obliteration of property and all other means and instruments of survival for those who have been fortunate to be left with their precious lives. My heart and soul, my condolences and prayers are with the people of Zimbabwe and our beloved affected neighbours, specifically Mozambique and Malawi.

Where unity is present, mountains are movable, surely, united we stand and divided we fall, the open gesture of love, concern and ubuntu has been triggered after realising that the Zimbabwean government is undebatedly sleeping on duty, the people of the world have decided to save those of their own, thanks to various institutions, organisations, bodies and strong individuals (the Charlton Tsodzos, Freeman Charis and may more others) who have taken it upon themselves to extricate those under the vicious jaws of the cyclone compounded by state relegation.

As a nation, what we say is what we do, what we do is what we say, united we stand and divided we fall.

Let love lead.

Moi.
