I think we taking this HISTORIC event lightly , Someone getting bribed right on the TL😭?? Like munhu wese achiona kunzi oh unyarare ? 😂🙌🏽. There’s a line on Winky Ds Big Party song which goes like “…Party inoyi yatonga …”
Good morning 5am club. If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place. Normalize taking a leap.🌺
I want to thank Zimbabwean dancehall star Winky D for the very insightful message in his new song, Chivanhu.
He touches on a serious topic that I have advanced on this page for years, respecting our past, respecting our ancestors, and refusing to be held hostage by foreign religions brought to us through colonial rule and missionary indoctrination.
A people who do not understand their past, who embrace other people’s ancestors while disowning their own, and who disparage their history are bound to struggle. Africa continues to face challenges because many of the things we consider important are not rooted in our own history, culture, and experiences.
You cannot be more Muslim than Muhammad, and you cannot be more Christian than the people among whom Christianity first emerged. Part of the success of the Chinese, whom Winky D references in his song, has been their authenticity, confidence in their own civilisation, and belief in themselves.
I am not a Christian because I hate Christianity. I am not a Christian because I do not believe my identity can be rooted in a foreign religion whose foundations were built by other people’s ancestors while requiring me to disconnect from my own.
Every people who have risen and prospered have done so by understanding who they are, where they come from, and what values define them. Self-respect begins with knowing your own story before seeking validation in someone else’s.
Winky D has truly matured into an artist who does not follow the wind, but has become the wind itself, the one that others follow.
Consummate artists do not chase narratives, they shape them. They do not merely reflect society, they challenge it, provoke thought, and help direct the national conversation towards issues that matter.
That is what separates entertainers from cultural icons. The greatest artists leave a lasting imprint on the conscience of a nation.
Well done to Winky D and his team for producing work that stimulates thought and encourages introspection. More life to Gaffa Nation.

things I've learned don't mean anything:
-sleeping together
-meeting their family
-no protection
-talking about the future
- calling for hours
-"I love you"
As I grow older, I've become less ambitious. Perhaps realistic, but I now navigate life with a quiet resignation. An acceptance that I'm not special, & will most probably have a very average life, nothing out of the ordinary. I'll be hurt, disappointed, just like everyone.
