Brutal stab wounds steal Mondeor High Pupil’s life



By Blessing Mhlanga



As sunset neared, the school bell shook the gates of Mondoer High and pupils danced their way out, with an intention to get a calm rest and refreshment at home. One pupil, roamed swiftly around the school gate and in a blink of an eye found his defenceless being surrounded by two masked savages, who while strongly clinching the razor-sharp knives in their hold, posed eyes of fury.



The shiver of terror pushed the pupil to pee himself and tears of obvious fate flooded his face; a force of fear crucified his feet to the ground and his hands made symbols of a sinner begging for pardon.

In less than ten seconds, the pupil was swimming in a pool of his own blood and his lifeless body carelessly floated on the roadside of the school gate where the eyes of the public were not visible. Obviously, the masked men had vanished randomly like a rush of the wind and no eye bared witness to this barbaric tale.



A good Samaritan suddenly froze when he saw the pupil drowning in his bloody pool of death, instantly alerted the police at Mondoer police station, an ambulance responded with a sense of urgency but it was too late - the knife had stolen the pupil’s life.



"The boy was a pupil at Mondeor. Paramedics later arrived and confirmed the boy dead," police officer confirmed.



The killers did not take the pupil’s belongings, leaving the motive of this unfortunate and mysterious murder unknown.



Medical assessments by ER24 Russel Meiring confirmed that the patient had critically suffered multiple stab wounds on the chest which eventually led to death.



"CPR and treatment were immediately initiated, in an effort to revive the patient. Unfortunately, after sometime, no vital signs returned, and he was declared dead by another service,"he said.



While mystery continues to linger in the mind of the local authorities who were present on the scene, the police are determined to find the attackers - an assumed action to bring a pillow of solace to the pupil’s family.

A mafia tells his tales

A mafia tells his tales I’m unknown in the universe of the blues. I hustle with my claws and toil with my feet. I have married a new sun, the desert is my ex and weeping is the grave - I am the Mafia of this game, the game of striving to be the best striker on the field of life. Don’t remind me of the gone tales, I have buried them and I press toward the unknown hidden in the elegant paradise - a world of my own smile. I live not to impress but to express my inner gold which was once sold by the enemy. The kisses of my wisdom reflect the pieces of piles and tiles of my make-up, I have managed to separate the under from the asunder - this is my bible of livelihood . I have conquered the plagues  of lazy plugs, who loved to pray that I become a prey but their gales have become my girls for my fortune sales. I own many suites but not suitable enough to suit every occasion; my calling is sizzling and it won’t stop dazzling. My part is to dress the start, make sure I do

How Robert Mugabe wants to be remembered I was a liberator. Maybe a tyrant too. By Blessing Mhlanga.      10 -09 - 2019. Well, where should I start? If in the beginning God created heaven and earth, then in the beginning is where I’ll start. In the beginning I, Robert Mugabe became pregnant of a vision: to liberate my fellow black Zimbabweans from the perpetual catastrophes of slavery, inequality, poverty, racial segregation and the heavy heap of unjust leadership in the hands of Ian Smith and company. It is for this vision that I created countless movements and campaigns against the atrocious regime that had enslaved my people during the 1960s and 70s. It is for this vision that I endured a decade of imprisonment for trying to overthrow this vicious government. Maybe, it is for this vision that I stayed in power for almost four decades. For clarity purposes, I didn’t hate white people but I only despised their use of power against my people, through

Opinion piece: Ancestral worship is a fallacy

Ancestral Worship is a shameful fallacy By Blessing Mhlanga We cannot speak to the dead and there’s no such thing as the living-dead. Rituals involving animal slaughter, sprinkling of blood, drinking of concoction, talking to a dead person on their grave and consulting a sangoma for intervention is a spiritual deception that has enslaved the african people. For me personally, I am extremely ashamed and disgusted by my fellow black people who believe that a dead person has an influence on their failures or prosperity in their lives. Some cultures even believe that the dead are a mediator between God and the living; it’s a shame because they have forgotten that God is the creator of all men and he doesn’t need a human being whom he created to be a mediator to those who are living. According to Truth Magazine article, ‘if you displease the ancestors, it may be that they will kill someone else.’ This doesn’t make sense, why would my ancestors, who were somehow
