Great Zimbabwe Times

It was during a business trip that I got to experience the majesty of the mighty Victoria Falls. Victoria Falls, is also known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, which means the smoke that thunders. I took my fellow women colleagues with me. Our first port of call was the Boma dinner, where we experienced some drum beats.  Upon entrance, we were presented with an African traditional robe. In next to no time, we were immersed in the vibrant atmosphere. One of the waiters who introduced himself as Eddie took us through the  whole process of what was to take place at the Boma.  He brought some traditional African beer, including maheu as the starter. My memories were rekindled as I remembered my maternal grandmother, who sang us traditional songs. The African music signified the authenticity of “Africans”. I could feel the ambience of  Africa.  The aromas of traditional dishes and various types of game meat on the barbeque filled the restaurant. I tried to taste different types of meat and several dessert

                           By Prof Kasese  Whatever you can vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe and enthusiastically act upon, must inevitably come to pass. All tangible reality is the incarnation of the thought process. The strides the so called first world has taken in their business accomplishments spring out of man’s thought and an insatiable and voracious appetite to succeed. Before their lofty cities took visible form, before their condescending industries started producing superior products, before their technological networks become a marvel, they were conceived in someone’s mind. Then they were completed in their minutest detail, and then placed on blue prints before a single stone was laid.  The same shrine of thought and vision is entrusted to our will as Zimbabweans. We have it in us as people of Masvingo Province to consecrate the vision of our President His Excellency E.D. Mnangagwa of driving Zimbabwe to becoming a middle income economy by 2030 and equall

Like every human organ, Hatfield Elite Academy went through growing pains. After three years of steady growing pains, the school held its first Patron and Parents’ Speech and Prize Giving Day. Patron and Parents Day brings together parents, students, and staff to celebrate the achievements of the year and honor students and staff who have distinguished themselves. This year was special because it was the first time all interested parties had been able to come together. Founded by ambitious school teachers, Blessing and his wife, Dr. Gallie Kawanzaruwa, and chaired by a young and ambitious 42-year-old dreamer, Mr. Thomas Chidavaenzi with experience in financial management, the school immediately suffered from the onslaught of Corona-19 virus. Only 15 students had registered when the authorities ordered the suspension of in-class activities. There were eleven teachers to be paid. Two years later, the school brought in the renowned educator and publicist, Professor Kenneth Mufuka from the
