I spent the weekend reading Shimmer Chinodya's Harvest of Thorns, and had a blast at it. Lord knows why I never read it before, because I have had it in my Library for a while.

Here's an excerpt where the hero is declaring his love for the umpteenth time, and still he gets no response from his beloved Shamiso.
I am hereby sent you a camera fotopicture taken me by my best friend Jeshua so that you can remind and thinking of me all times. Perhaps you have forgetting me and I’m sending this fotopicture for you to put on top your pillow so you can dream about me when your eyes falling sleepy. I still love you over than and will not stop scripting until the world stops and all the enjels come and God ‘says’ everybody to Heaven or to Hell but I’m cokesure a butifull girl like you is going to HEAVEN stret away. S’true  God, Shamiso I love you more each day. I will go on scripting even I buys all the written peds and emvlops at Bright Bookstore and even the postmaster say no, Clopas, you finishing pestej stamps for other because my heart says you the woman for me and I must not sarenda…
Please send me your fotopikture too so I can put it on the wall near my bed, and not think of about you too much. Perhaps you have not write because you think I am too olds for youbut I am a young man only twenty four years of old and ready to start family. But I can’t starting family without you Shamiso. Otherwise yuou think it’s joking and I’m having many other girlfriend but I to you I never jok on this matter. I am being a stead man without fulling around and looking at silly town girls who is after beer and money chete. Sometimes you think I say this because I have job in town and house and you are from  reserves, but I tell you no, it is love only. Perhaps you thinks I am a Bed man Because I live in the big city but I say no, I do not know the mouth of a beerhole and I do not touch cigaroots, and I do not play cards or beetting horses…So please Shamiso hear mercy for me.

They don't make them like that anymore huh?

    The letter was so sweet and earnest, I like how she then goes to reply him in Shona. Totally in awe of his firm grasp of the Queen's English.

Eight Things I Will Never Apologise For!

1.           THINKING THAT ZIMBABWEAN MEN WHO GET RAPED ASKED FOR IT. Glad I got that one off my chest, and it’s true. Drive down any highway, Main Street, under any bridge, walk through any forest, go behind any building and you are bound to see at least 5 men urinating. You think the world is your urinal, whipping out your junk every opportunity you get and expect to get away with it. Just as you justify raping a child, woman, girl, baby.

He categorically called them faggots, and fairies. I was passionately bestowing virtues upon the colour when his phone rang. "Hello dear," He listened. "Honey can you call me back? I am in a very important meeting right now." it was He rung off and we continued. Just when i thought the light of understanding had gone off in his head, his phone rang again. It was his wife. What follows was a conversation that made me think that hiding all Facebook activity could go a long way in saving all happily married/daring/swinging couples. "Honey, i am still in that meeting call me back." "You are in a meeting?" He rolled his eyes and said yes. "You just commented on your ex-girlfriends status." "Well i got bored and i..." &
