How I turned up at Mugabe's state house in search of a girl. Issa thread...
In September 2007 I was in part 1 at the University of Zimbabwe studying Sociology. I had debuted in Harare a month earlier after migrating straight from rural Gutu where I passed my A levels with flying colours. The University of Zimbabwe was a premier institution of learning
I arrived late in Harare and could not secure residence at UZ so I ended up staying with my uncle in Magaba. Dr Gono was still in charge of the economy.
At the University of Zimbabwe's first gate I found myself standing next to a girl. She had a Nokia 3410 and was very nice. We were all coming from the library but getting transport was uneasy at the first gate. We stood there for close to 40 minutes until a pickup turned up.
The driver said "ndicharova na Bhorodhero. He turned around. By the time he finished talking, the girl and I were already in. I wanted her number. After all she was nice. She said her name was Grace
She told me that she was living with her sister "near town" and that there was nothing wrong with me visiting her even at home. She told me that I was very kind and a nice person judging by her few minutes with me. She spoke highly of my character. I was humbled
After all I was single so this was love at first ride
She showed me two beautiful houses with saluting guards outside. She said that her sister was the owner and that she was dropping off a km after her actual bus stop because she needed airtime. I was to visit Grace at her sister's place the day after. I dropped off at 4th street
Money changers were still working in the streets that time so walking to Magaba was still safe. After all I had scored a big one.
The next day after my last lecture, I took a kombi to town. They dropped me off at NSSA and because she told me that her sister's house was along 7th street, I asked for directions.
Time was not on my side
I needed to get there early to show my seriousness. In my mind the girl was mine.
I was singing Exq's mazirudo on my way to 7th street. After all my outfit had been fully paid for.
It didn't take me time to recognise the two houses but what surprised me is that soldiers were by the corner holding guns. Perhaps they were coming from work or controlling traffic. Who cared?
I walked straight towards the gate and moved to the guard on my left side. I went straight to my point. Makadii henyu blaz? Grace aripo here?
The guy looked at me from head to toe.
I was getting impatient so I gave him 4 minutes to respond.
Do I look like a small boy? Does this guy know me?
