There is one contemporary Zimbabwean writer who has wrestled more than most with the bear of African identity. His name is Dambudzo Marechera, and I met him once in Harare: slight, bespectacled, and cursed with a most terrible affliction for one so enamoured of words — a maddening stutter. Later, when I try to write about him, I find that there are many different versions of his life. Just like my father’s, Marechera’s biographical facts changed like the njuzu, the mythical manfish that populates his writing and is constantly altering its form. As a boy, Marechera scavenged the local rubbish dump for old books and magazines tossed away by the white community. His father, a mortuary assistant, was run down and killed by a car when Dambudzo was in his second year of a scholarship at St. Augustine’s, an Anglican mission school in the eastern Highlands. His mother turned to prostitution to make ends meet. Marechera was expelled from the University of Rhodesia for taking part in student protests in the dog days of the white regime. But he went on to Oxford. Like a great river, education seemed to swirl him downstream, farther and farther from his roots, marooning him on a cultural sandbar far from the banks of belonging. He felt within himself a number of different identities, and it was the conflict between these that he mined to such good effect. Even as he castigated himself as “a keen accomplice in my own mental colonization” for his enthusiasm for Western education, he remained unapologetic about his catholic thirst for literature. He wanted to escape the ghetto of “African” writing to claim a broader, universal canvas.

Today, on International Men's Day, Eleven Dogs Inc. honors the incredible strength, resilience, and unwavering spirit of men across Zimbabwe. This is a day to celebrate not only the achievements but also the silent battles that shape our lives.

To our fathers, brothers, sons, and friends your roles are pivotal. You are the pillars of our communities, the guardians of our families, and the silent warriors who fight daily battles with grace and dignity.

In Zimbabwe, where the journey of manhood is uniquely challenging, we recognize the importance of mental health, emotional resilience, and community support. Let us break the stigma around vulnerability and remind each other that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

We stand together in acknowledging the pressures faced by men today, from societal expectations to the silent struggles that often go unnoticed. Yet, it is through these challenges that true character is forged. Let’s continue to uplift each other, sharing wisdom, providing support, and fostering an environment where every man feels valued and understood.

At Eleven Dogs Inc., we believe in the power of unity and the strength of community. As we celebrate today, let's commit to being there for one another, creating safe spaces where men can express, heal, and grow.

To every man in Zimbabwe, remember that you are not alone. Your story is powerful, your journey is meaningful, and your presence is invaluable. Let's celebrate the men we are and the men we aspire to be.

Here’s to strength, resilience, and the enduring spirit of brotherhood. Happy International Men's Day.

As we navigate the complexities of life, it’s crucial to recognize that men’s mental health is just as vital as physical well-being. Men often face societal pressure to “man up” or “tough it out.” However, feeling depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed is not a sign of weakness. It’s essential to break the silence and seek help when needed. Men may exhibit symptoms differently, such as escapist behavior, physical complaints (like headaches), or misuse of alcohol/drugs.
Remember, you’re not alone, and seeking help is a sign of strength. Let’s create a world where men’s mental health receives the attention it deserves.

I'm at a point in life where I just want to be very quiet. I’m not interested in being overstimulated. I would rather chill at home and do yoga than party. I love stuff that leaves meaning on my spirit, and I only want to surround myself with the same kind of people.

It’s crazy how much time we invest into people just for us to end up being strangers again.

Sustainability

[Indigo State Of Mind⚡️ @ThirdEyeMastery]

I genuinely do not believe people treat you how they feel about you. I believe they treat you based on the state of mind they're in. Some people unintentionally hurt you because they are at war with themselves suffering, and suffering with things that has nothing to do with you.

[Indigo State Of Mind⚡️ @ThirdEyeMastery]

I honestly don't want to be strengthened by difficult situations and be tested anymore. I'm tired. I want soft experiences that teach me the grace and gentleness of the Universe towards me.

Zimbabwe’s Secondary Education system is being reformed to a bias fostering Critical thinking, Innovation, Creativity, Problem Solving and Programming. This is a shift from a system with a bias to memorization and regurgitation.
