The Ticket In The Jacket

-

After my supposed outburst at the most opulent purchase of one piece of apparel our country has ever seen, I decided to scour the web in search of the now legendary Red Jacket. Our national papers didn't have the images on their online platforms as to when it was been purchased but luckily for me they had the stories that made the said jacket famous and valuable. Often and not too many times great men are taken and quoted out of context, not because they are prone to been mistaken but often because their struggles are best left untouched and overlooked. 

HH goes to High Court.
The UPND fundraising party of getting to know the present was quite indeed a hefty affair, it got the who's who of our society dipping into their deep pockets just to get not a glimpse but the very façade of our Republican president is. The party was a success, it's organizers can now do more than just hope that their Party and it's reign is going to be a success. I dare not implicate the President's adversity during his court trials, into my absolute loathing of someone buying his apparel for such an ostentatious amount, for adversity conquered is what makes us all great and it would be unwise for me to take such achievements lightly. Nelson Madiba Mandela had his own, our very own Kenneth Kaunda may God rest his soul had his own, who am I or rather who would I become tomorrow if I took the deeds of these iconoclasts for granted?

No, my qualms still lay rest at the feet of the newly acclaimed big buyer, am sure he would have various reasons as to why he chose to purchase the said apparel at such a decadent price. Nonetheless the ticket in the jacket meant that everybody who was bidding for the legendary jacket, really had deep pockets and none could afford to let the other have the glory, putting up the President's adversity on their mantle was the fuel that pushed this mysterious piece to K2.5million. 

I shall take comfort in the fact that the party was a success ergo the Party should be a success but if I can be allowed to be so candid about this matter is that the thumbs up goes to the head that wears the crown, my comfort lies in the fact that we have to trust our leaders for often our very own welfare is at variance with our wants. God Speed Mr. President as we all get to see the fruits of your labor and the betterment of our people.

PATIENCE OF PATIENTS: Simon Mwewa SAGA

What would a doctor with no compassion become in the long run? Every person on earth owes it to the rest of humanity to exhibit some empathy when in the company of those less fortunate than them. It might be a lot for others to ask you of this but, it’s the reasonable thing you need to ask of yourself. We are all equal not only in the eyes of the Universe but our hearts beat as one; our minds are no different nor are our thought process. With time though, as it is the determinant of all things great and beyond human understanding, the contents of our minds which are the treasures of humanity or should I say, treasure of humanity vary due to a diverse exposure of culture, language, customs or traditions as well as privileges or opportunities. That however should not be the reason why a person in a position of power or of great leverage should treat those they feel are beneath them with callousness, it takes but a moment to inspire a human being to do good or to create a thing of...

Bi-Polar Life in A third world Order

Black or white does not matter when one is diagnosed with bi-polar. It often seems like a curse more than a gift for most of us, again colour is of no consequence if you can't cope or if you don't have adequate family support. As humans we are always living in fear of things that emit immense possibilities and perpetual hope, there are worser things than the mania side of the condition under discussion;things like low self esteem,mediocrity and inferiority complexes are incurable and by far are scourges gnawing and chewing away at most young Africans, though incurable in it that they are not diseases nor disorders they are however controllable cause they are but states of mind inflicted upon us by the very powers that be. Bi-polar disorder can be controlled and very much be used to one's benefit. The secret lies in finding a balance of the day as one takes life one day at a time. Cyclothymia is a much better version or rather a controlled state of the disorder. ...

Appreciating The Performing And The Fine Arts 🎭

https://m.facebook.com/story 7 years ago i was completely unaware of the performing arts, drama nor theatre as a whole. Though at my High School several students used to rehearse and they were particularly good at what they did. I remember during the hand over ceremony that ensured that my intake (2010) was left the keys to the kingdom, the guys from the Arts department gave the whole school a trip into a cultural ride that even earned a good number of the performers substantial amounts money in tips from the audience. Be as it may, i am utterly engrossed in the fine arts such that any given opportunity where they can be used, to me it seems like it has to has to be grabbed with both hands. The fine arts can be encorporated in the perfoming arts especially where building of sets is concerned. Every good actor and actress is inspired not only by the script but the scene as well. As such it is with great disappointment that i write this blog for the only theatre that seems readily...
