If you were having coffee with me I would be happy to have you join, it’s a beautiful day the sun is shining and the bothersome crows which some to like hanging around like a dark cloud, have gone off to bother someone else… Does the presence of crows symbolise anything or they are just misunderstood birds and not harbingers of ill fortunes?
If you were having coffee with me, I would tell you that you can read meaning into anything, if you think about it. Stare deep into your cup and watch it spin round and round. If you turn then, then you turn again and you turn yet again, you are not just turning around, you are going round in circles…
If you were having coffee with me, we would sit outside in the morning sun, so I could let my hair breathe, I grew it myself…
I kind of feel like a lion with a mane, a king and his crown. Now imagine you were me, scrolling through the internet and happened across this campaign by Clicks South Africa….
…what in the actual hair
If you were having coffee with me, I would tell you that we live in times where people are hypersensitive about identity and for example where I to express how I prefer hair like mine and someone out there might take offence and say I am discriminating against those with bald haircuts and would be asked to state my position on those with faux locs and if their hair mattered too…
But those Clicks Adverts were problematic.
Clicks has since removed the images and issued an apology and all is right with the world…
No, now boycotts and picketing are being called for… as we have coffee right now, reports are coming in on the protests…

If you were having coffee with me I would tell you that for the longest of time the revolutionary party which has been the ruling party for the past 4 decades has maintained an uncompromising stance on its sovereignty, how Zimbabwe will never be colony again and anyone who spoke against it was trying to reverse the gains of independence.
But with each day it seems like they are the ones undoing these gains and taking us back like we never left… First, there’s the Global Compensation Deed (GCD) where the government is seeking $3.5Billion to compensate settler farmers over the violently executed, land reform programme. Second, word on the street is that a Chinese company has granted a mineral concession to mine right within Hwange National Park, wait, didn’t we lose this country one mineral concession at a time…
And there’s talk of how the government considering returning The Land to some of the white farmers who were protected by bilateral agreements between Zimbabwe and their Governments. Of course, the government says it’s not reversing Land Reform and any such stories you read are falsehoods being peddled by the opposition party bent on causing regime change at the behest of imperialistic powers, which is why they are going to create Provincial Social Media Teams who will counter this propaganda…
If you were having coffee with me I would tell you that schools are set to open in two weeks for the exam classes with their final examinations set for December. I question why they are pushing for the exams when the country is still in lockdown and the state-run public transporter seems incapable of meeting the current demand for transport next throw in students and their teachers.
I don’t think much of any learning has happened this year, I really wonder if the students can fit into one term what they should have been doing all year. Then when they write their exams how will they progress next year when the classes they are supposed to move on to haven’t done anything all year… maybe they should let 2020 be a gap year and we try this again next year.
If you were having coffee with me I would tell you that tourism activities are now open again and its supposed to be business as usual. But can someone tell me how tourism is supposed to work when one cannot travel even into town without exemption papers for COVID let alone inter city travel which was stopped as covid lockdown measures. Maybe tourism is open only to those who can travel in private planes and helicopters…
The next time I am going past the security checkpoint and the ask me for Essential Services Covid Exemption Travel Documents I am going to tell them I am going fishing, isnt it all tourism services are have been officially declared open.. when that fails I will take out these papers which forged…. erm typed myself because why pay someone to do what anyone with a computer and a printer can do…
So whats going on in you part of the world, Scientists are still baffled why COVID isn’t so bad in Africa.
… and again another offending headline updated
