Public relations involves good deeds


With the rise in air, water and other forms of pollution in Harare, residents need to be informed and educated about dangers of environmental pollution and how they can help to keep the environment clean.

Pollution is not only harmful to humans but to animals too.

Thus, due to environmental pollution in Harare, residents are in danger of succumbing to opportunist infections.

This threatens the physical well being of human life and that of the ecosystem.

Environmental pollution is a serious issue not only in Harare but also worldwide.

The problem in Zimbabwe is that it is not getting the adequate media attention it deserves. Therefore, it is the duty of public relations (PR) practioners in various organisations to raise awareness of this problem.

The role of PR practioners’ is not only confined to maintaining the image of their respective organisations but to maintain the image of our country too.

Since the role of the media is to inform and educate, PR practitioners should use the media in controlling environmental pollution.

They should always remember that good public relations involve good deeds.

This involves being the voice of the voiceless environment.

As custodians of information, PR practitioners should spread awareness to the public using various media channels about the hazardous effect of pollution on human beings, so that people will realize the consequences and stop polluting.

It is also the role of PR practitioners to conscientise the public on the need to maintain a clean environment.

For example, members of the public should be told that water conservation complements a clean environment.

Public relations practitioners should highlight that polluting water sources not only results in dwindling amounts of water but also pollutes the environment.

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 .

Are butt-fattening pills real?

Lazarus Sauti Large posteriors are beautiful marks for most African women and despite health hazards and side effects such as kidney failure, blurred vision, sedation, dry mouth and gastrointestinal, women jostle to get them. In Zimbabwe, most women use Apetito tablets, illegal injections as well as chicken-fattening pills to acquire fake behinds. These illegal tablets as well as chicken-fattening pills are smuggled into the country from countries like India, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa and Zambia. The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority asserts that an increase in seized contraband of butt-fattening pills shows amplified circulation of such drugs in the country. Recently, alert Zimra officers stationed at Chirundu One-Stop Border Post confiscated a huge consignment of skin lightening creams as well as butt-enhancing tablets which were carefully stashed in a well-carved opening on the trailer of a haulage truck destined for Harare. “Skin lightening creams and “bod

Fake news: An insidious problem

Lazarus Sauti THE INTERNET is an amazing place, crammed with information from different news sites, but the only problem is that some devious elements are using it to cause alarm and despondence as well as destroying people’s lives. An escalating number of fake and spoof sites are exploding on a daily basis, spreading phony reports like wildfire on the Internet. Most people in southern Africa woke up to a bogus news report recently suggesting that popular South African gospel artiste, Lundi Tyamara, had died after suffering from multiple diseases including anal cancer, chest pains and abdominal tuberculosis. The fake story went viral, with fans on social media platforms expressing shock over the artiste’s ‘death’. His manager, Anele Hlazo, however, rubbished the claims, saying “the gospel star is out of danger and his fans should not worry”. Tales of President Robert Mugabe’s ‘death’ also gained grip recently after a ‘R.I.P Robert Mugabe’ Facebook page posted t
