It’s do or die for Warriors


Zimbabwe National team faces an “hour of reckoning” away to Angola on Sunday despite carrying a seemingly comfortable 3-1 lead.

The Warriors, as Zimbabwe’s national team is affectionately known will either “sink or swim” come match day.

The hungry Warriors should die for our country in Luanda. To devour the Antelopes, as the Angola national team is also known, they should watch out for the dangerous foreign based duo of Manucho and Djalma.

The Antelopes are in a bad situation at the moment and are going to try anything to win.

The Warriors should not be intimidated by the tamed Angolans. Of course, they are a strong team not to be taken likely.

The Angola tie is our game and the key to victory goes beyond just putting the best players on the field.

The players should heed the technical team’s advice and play according to instructions.

Soccer involves tactics beyond just beating the other team with speed, strength or hustle. A mixture of tactics, speed and strength in defense, midfield and offense is crucial to success.

It is quite obvious that Angola will be formidable in their backyard because they are the ones chasing the game.

All the Warriors need to do is not to panic. It is important for the hunters to play their normal game. The players should concentrate.

The core values of “hard work, taking responsibility and serving the nation” are needed to get the result that should propel the team to the Afcon finals.

The technical team should select a line-up based on exploiting the Angolan's weaknesses or withstanding its greatest threats.

To win in Angola by any margin, the players should show confidence, determination and imagination. Soccer is all about team effort. It is not impossible to tackle and beat the Angolans away from home.

The football wound is finally beginning to heal following clearance of more players from the Asiagate scandal. The Warriors now have a better chance because players like Zvasiya, Nkatha, Malajila and Sadomba would stabilise the team.
Good sportsmanship is what is needed for our beloved Warriors to grace their third Afcon appearance in South Africa.

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. The battered man, who attempted homicide for four times, is suffering in silence and mostly fears for his children who are witnessing the violence as it is perpetrated by his wife on a daily basis. “My major trepidation is that my two precious girls who are witnessing this violence in our home might develop sig...

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...
