Ohoo amai vangu vakange vauraiwa neBreast Cancer!!! Saka patakazoenda kuchipatara pange pasisina zvekuita yange yapararira kwese. Poor me, poor mai Gire, vakafa nechirwere chiri kurapiwa vamwe vakadzi vachipora, mai vangu kana kumbofembedza cancer treatment havo. Ndosaka mai Taonga vaiti amai vavo vari kupiwa mishonga kuti vagondoitwa Mastectomy – operation yekubvisa zamu racho. Ndakarwadziwa ndichifunga kuti kusaziva kwakauraya mai vangu. Haa ndosaka even shoko raMwari richiti my people perish because of lack of knowledge, true it meant to all aspects of life. Asi zvakandizorodza nekundipa closure.
Ndakachengeta mbuya vaTaonga throughout treatment yavo, vakandoitwa operation yavo successfully, I was happy for them mai nemwana vachipembera upenyu nekupora kwavo. Kwandiri zvakange zvaramba zvakadai.
Sekuronga kwakange kwaita mai Taonga, ndaibuda kundotengesa mudzimba dzevanhu, ndichifamba naDiana naNelly. Vakandibatsira chaizvo pabasa iri kunonditengera zvinhu zvacho, taitengesa mabroom, mamop, hembe chaidzo nemagumbeze. MaNamibians aya vaifarira kutenga nechikwereti saka taiita 100 -150% mark up and profit.
KuMasowe ndakaramba kuenda ndakatya kundoudzwa zvimwe zvitsva, zvaiita sekuti every prophet I meet ane nyaya itsva inoda kugadzirwa pandiri, iya yakatangwa poita sepasina zvakaitwa. It really confused me, and kugeza nemiteuro was a challenge to me, kuverenga mazuva, nekutaura taura nekutukirira ndichigeza was jail to me. I was asking God if there was any other way to get my salvation, freedom in Christ. Ndaitya kuita mistakes, kudarikira muteuro or kusanganisa muteuro wacho nezvisingafanire then my situation would be worse.
Pandakatanga kutengesa, mwedzi wekutanga ndakatenga zvemari shoma ndichida kuona kuti zvaizofamba sei. Ndakatengesa zvinhu izvi kwemwedzi mitatu nekubhadharwawo zvishoma zvishoma pamwedzi mitatu iyoyo. Ndakabva ndaona kuti zvedi zvaifamba and like what mai Taonga had said ndaitovakweretesa ndini.
Ndairamba sei ini ndaiona kuti mumba hamuchina kana chekudya apa vane mwana aienda kuchikoro aida kudya nembuva zvese. Ndaizotarisa sei mwana atadza kuenda kuchikoro nekuti amai vake havana mari yetaxi yaimuendesa nekumudzosa kuchikoro. Ndaitadza kuvapa sei ivo mbuya vaTaonga vairwara vachiri on a special diet? So taizotarisana here?
Kana paipera magetsi ndakange ndongoita top up ndakanyarara. R500 iya ndakaipiwa mwedzi mitatu yekutanga chete, pamwe pese vaingoti ndichaona. Vaive nemaAccounts kumashop ese embatya neefurniture, kozoti zvimbadzo, saka salary yavo, payslip paiuya pasina chinhu. Vaivezve neBank Loan yavakange vatora to pay her mother’s medical expenses. Nekuda kweizvi handina kunyanya kuvatsamwira nekuti vaisandiitira utsinye havo, she needed to put her financial life in order chete. Basawo repamba ndaiti ndikasvika pamba ndakaneta vaisambobvunza kuti dai waita icho.
So musi wakauya stuff yangu handina kugara pasi, ndakatenderera muKhomsadale mataigara, ndikaenda kuzvikoro nekumaClinic maticha nemanesi both Zimbabweans and Namibians vakatora zvinhu zvangu. Diana naNelly vakange vandibatsira nemoyo wese, vainditengera zvinhu zvakanaka zvaive nyore kutengesa. Hapana chaitorwa cash, zvese zvaizobhadharwa in a couple of months, vamwe vaida in two months vamwe in three months. Vashomawo vaipa deposit. In 3 days ndange ndasara nezvishoma shoma. Ndakarara ndichiita calculation yekuti kana mari yangu yaizobhadharwa yese in the 3 months ah zvaizondiitira zvakanaka. Chikoro ndaizoita ndikapedza.
Pave pakati pemwedzi, ndakange ndasara nehembe shoma shoma dzandaitofamba ndakaisa mukabag kadiki ndichitengesa. Takati tave kudzokera kumba nevamwewo vandakange ndoziva vaitengesawo, pamberi pedu pakamira mota yeNamibia Immigration Services. Takatutwa tese tikandoiswa mumaCells pa Central police station. Hatina kana kupiwa mukana wekudzokera kwataigara. Ndaive nemari shoma yandakange ndabhadharwa musi uyu, necellphone chete. Manheru aya Mai Taonga vakauya nesadza kuzondiona vakati;
Takabva tazopinda mutaxi namai Taonga toenda kumba kwavo kuKhomasdal. Vaigara muCottage, muMain house maive nemaNamibians verudzi rwechiOshiwambo. Takawana mwana wavo Taonga ana mbuya vake mai vamai Taonga, vakange vakarara pasofa. After all introductions vakazoti;
