Street kids, OVCs empowered

Lazarus Sauti

A local private voluntary organisation in Harare, Justice Mish Humanitarian Aid (JMHA), is taking bold steps in helping street kids as well as orphans in Harare, Shamva and Chinhoyi.

The organisation, founded by Prophet Justice Mish of the House of All Nations (HOAN) Christ Church, has embarked on a humanitarian assistance scheme meant to empower street kids and orphans.

In an interview with 263chat, JMHA spokesperson, Abel Mavura, says his organisation had researched and identified the needs of beneficiaries before providing them with food and clothing materials.

“We carried our research and identified that some street kids and OVCs in Harare, Chinhoyi and Shamva are living in abject poverty due to circumstances beyond their control,” he says.

“This triggered JMHA not to hide its head in the sand, but to help the needy, especially street children and orphans to lift them from abject poverty.”

Mavura adds that the aim is not only to empower street kids and orphans, but to please God

“Hebrews 13:16 encourages us not to neglect to do go. It also urges us to share what we have for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

“When the Bible talks about helping the needy and pleasing God, we have to act as it is important,” he says.

Mavura also says the mandate of the church is to be the salt of the Earth and the House of All Nations, therefore, is simply fulfilling this obligation.

He adds that in line with Prophet Mish’s vision to empower streets kids and OVCs in the country, JMHA will be adopting some street kids and rehabilitate them.

“Death of parents, poverty and family breakdown are some of the factors pushing many children onto the streets.

“Sadly, these children fall prey to people who exploit them.

“Hence our objective to assist some of them, especially those with potential with school fees as well as provide medication to those in need,” Mavura says.

He also stresses that children need to grow within a community and that the involvement of the community is vital in helping the traumatised children to regain their confidence.

The Justice Mish Humanitarian Aid project started in 2014 in response to the increasing numbers of street children and orphans in the country and more than 50 street kids in Harare and Chinhoyi have so far benefitted from this programme.


The organisation also donated some goodies in Shamva recently to orphans and other vulnerable children.

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...

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...
