PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE'S OFFER TURNED DOWN BY LATE MUSICIAN'S FAMILY

By

Liberation war hero and musician Cde Dickson Chingaira known as "Cde Chinx" who died last Friday will be buried today at Glen Forest cemetery in Harare, as the family rejects President Robert Mugabe's offer to make him a liberation war hero.

Cde Chinx who succumbed to cancer a week ago was 61.
However, family spokesperson Mr Dick Chingaira (Junior), yesterday said the decision to bury the musician at Glen Forest cemetery was in consultation with Government.

 "After consultations with the State, we decided to bury him at Glen Forest and we are on the same page with the State," he said.

Cde Chinx joined the liberation struggle in Mozambique in 1975, where he led the Zanla Choir.

Music played a crucial role in the fight against the brutal Rhodesian regime led by Ian Douglas Smith as it mobilised people on the cause to prosecute the war.

It inspired guerillas and the masses into successfully waging a war against the Rhodesians. Through music, Cde Chinx protested the brutality of the Rhodesian regime while motivating the oppressed blacks to take arms and fight the injustice.

Even after independence, Cde Chinx actively participated in the decolonisation of Zimbabwe during the Third Chimurenga (Hondo Yeminda) when Government embarked on the land reform programme.

PURPLE LADY DEMANDS BIGGER BOOBS DESPITE COMPLICATIONS.

By
A purple woman left doctors looking stunned when she told them that she wanted even bigger breasts. On an episode of American TV series Botched, the purple woman called Bunny told doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif that she wanted them so that she can carry off the extreme cosplay look. The doctors were left looking astounded and Dr Dubrow, said: "You've had plastic surgery procedures in order that it maximize your ability to do the cosplay kinda thing?" Bunny responds: "Yes, my first surgery was when I was 18". And then she stuns the medics again as she tells them that in her first procedure, she had 850cc implants put into her breasts. Dr. Dubrow explained to her that breast implants "alone" in an 18-year-old is "pretty controversial", and then says, "Putting 850cc implants in is downright wrong." Bunny's current large implants caused her severe complications within a year of the surgery, but she still went on to more than d...

Suspected billionaire kidnapper, Evans, uses a different name in each state of the federation to create varied identities in order to beat policemen tracking him, NewTelegraph reports. It has also been discovered that in 2013, he was issued with a Ghanaian passport with a fictitious name, Asare Nelson. The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, disclosed this while speaking at the West Africa International Security Conference in Accra, Ghana. Officials of the Accra Passport Office allegedly connived with Evans to issue the passport on January 10, 2013 to expire in January 2018. Evans had told the IRT team of interrogators that he had a different name for different state of the federation. For instance, the suspect is known at his Magodo residence as George but he is Evans in the Lagos criminal world. "In Edo he is Sunny; in Port Harcourt, he is Richard; in Lagos he is Evans; in Anambra he is Somtu, etc, while some of his girlfriends police arrested know him as Mike. Security ...

  Purpose Of Marriage   A daily devotion for April 12th   From your friends at  RayStedman.org     Read: Genesis 2:18-25       The man said,  This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man.  For this reason man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh (Genesis 2:23-75).       This is a remarkable passage because it gathers up the great concepts of marriage that run throughout the Bible. After God finished making woman and Adam slept off the deep unconsciousness into which he had fallen, God brought the woman to Adam. What a scene that must have been! Here is the first of a long series of boy-meets-girl stories. Out of this account emerges four factors that are essential to marriage. The first is that marriage is to involve a complete identity.

SENATOR McCAIN TELLS CLINTON TO "SHUT UP" LIKE HE DID

By

Senator John McCain says Hillary Clinton should not have published her book so soon after losing the 2016 election because it makes her look like she's still campaigning and has nothing else to do. "What's the f-----g point? Keep the fight up? History will judge that campaign, and it's always a period of time before they do," McCain told Esquire magazine in a long interview Monday. "You've got to move on. This is Hillary's problem right now: She doesn't have anything to do." McCain, 81, spoke with the magazine about his recent cancer diagnosis and the mutual animosity between him and President Donald Trump. But he had sharp criticism for Clinton as well, arguing that the defeated Democratic candidate should have taken a page from his 2008 presidential run as a Republican against Barack Obama. "One of the almost irresistible impulses you have when you lose is to somehow justify why you lost and how you were mistr...

DAILY DEVOTION FOR TODAY 13th,APRIL 2017

  The Enticement Of Evil   A daily devotion for April 13th   From your friends at  RayStedman.org     Read: Genesis 3:1-6       Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made (Genesis 3:1a).       Let us move on to consider the strategy that the Tempter employs. This is most instructive because it is exactly the strategy he employs when he appears as an angel of light to us—not that we shall see visions of shining beings—but the personality that he exemplifies, the character in which he appears, is the same now as then. He is an angel of light. Scripture makes clear that the devil can also appear as a roaring lion, meaning he can strike in tragedy, in sickness, or in physical evil, as he struck Job or Paul, with his thorn in the flesh, which Paul called the messenger of Satan. When he appears as a lion, he can strike fear into our hea...
