Artists must embrace ICTs


Artists should work hard. As a result they tend to benefit from their work.

To reap fruit from their labour, they should make use of social media services to get their artistic careers to greater heights.

Facebook, twitter, blogospheres and Google provide a platform for the exchange of creative ideas and artistic views between artists and their legion of fans. These social media platforms are interactive in nature and user friendly.

Social media services provide artists with beneficial options for developing unique pages for both business and personal interest.

Social media platforms provide many facilities such as writing, sharing, uploading, linking, networking and commenting. Art stakeholders can use social media services to advice their clients where they can purchase their works.

The use of social media services enhances public image of the artists.

Artists should desist from the syndrome of waiting upon one way publicity such as newspapers for coverage.

Why the hell are men and women prepared to poison themselves for sex?

Lazarus Sauti Tim Marufu uses Congo dust, a sex enhancing drug from the Democratic Republic of Congo, to prolong his erection. He said the aphrodisiac, which is rubbed on the male organ, results in lengthy sex rounds. “ NeCongo dust unoanchor mudhara, unochimhanya (With Congo dust you can enjoy length sex sessions). “ Uyu mushonga wechikwapuro; ukangozora chete simbi yako inozhamba (This drug is powerful. If you properly apply it, your partner will cry in bed),” said Marufu, adding that “the powder prolongs an erection for up to an hour if applied correctly.” Explaining how Congo dust works, he says, “You just take a pinch and rub it at the tip of your organ at least three hours before being intimate.” During the process of an erection, he added, the penis enlarges and stiffens as a result of changes within muscles, nerves and blood vessels of the organ . Marabha, a vendor who sells Congo dust at Cnr. 7 th and Samora Ave in Harare, says Congo dust comes i...

Battered Men: The Hidden Side of Domestic Violence

Lazarus Sauti Maxwell Svedhani (34), a father of two girls from Bhora Juru Growthpoint, Mashonaland East Province, is living a hell of a life as he is mentally, physically and also sexually abused by Runako, her violent wife of nine years. “My wife hits me with her fists, kicks, burns, slams, punches, pushes and bites me in front of our children. On top of that, she oftenly threatens and intimidates me, denies me sex and food as well as locks me out of the house,” he said. Svedhani added that his wife belittles his abilities and competencies, initiates name-calling insults, and silently treats him in addition to subverting his relationship with the children.

Education is key to sustainable development

Lazarus Sauti The ability for everyone to have equal opportunity in education, regardless of their social class, ethnic background or physical disabilities is an enabler of a knowledge-based economy. A knowledge-based economy is a system in which knowledge is created, acquired, transmitted, and used more effectively by individuals, companies, and communities to promote economic and social development. It relies on the use of ideas rather than physical abilities and on the application of technology rather than the exploitation of cheap labor. Accordingly, the time is now right for all Africans to help improve education because it is a key contributor to the continent’s socio-economic growth. Vice President of Zimbabwe, Joice Mujuru believes that youths should take education seriously and shun social vices that hinder them from attaining higher positions in life. “The only tool that can empower any person for the challenges ahead is education and discipline is impor...
