CHISANKHO CHA KENEDE

Yolembedwa ndi Micah Kanyenda

Unali masana, dzuwa likuswa mtengo, kukutentha ngati mng'anjo ya moto pamene mudzi wa Chimutu unawona mazangazime ndi masalamusi. Kenede ananyonyomala pansi pa mtengo mu nkhalango ya m'mudzimo, thupi lake litagwidwa tsembwe, akupumira mwamba ngati galu wachiwewe. Iye anabisala kufuna kuwonetsetsa ndi kumvetsetsa tsoka lomwe linabwera m'mudzi mwawo mwa bata ndi mtendere muja. Anamva kulira kwa chikwanje.

"Ifetu mukangomutulutsa Man Chiyo basi mudzipulumutsa nokha, apo bi! Muona chimene chinameta nkhanga mpala. Ndiwerenga katatu, ndipo kachitatu ngati simukuyankhabe ndikhapa uyu" Analankhula m'modzi wa anyamata amene anadzitseka kumaso ndi chinsalu chakuda, uku akudzutsa m'modzi mwa anyamata a m'mudzi wa Chimutu, Tomasi.

Kenede anapatula masamba a mtengo amene anatchinga maso ake kuti awonetsetse malodza amene amavumba m'mudzi mwake. Anawona anthu owoneka moopsya, ovala zotchinga kumaso, zikwanje zili waliwali zonola, zowala ngati nyenyezi zili m'manja. Patali choncho anawona Tamika, Belita ndi Tomasi ndi ena anzake atagwada, nkhope zawo zitazgolika, matupi awo atamera mphepo, akunjenjemera mu dziwe la mantha.

Kenako chigawenga chinakhapa Tomasi chija chinagwira Tamika, msungwana woyererapo pang'ono, chiphadzuwa cha m'mudzi mwa Chimutu, wa nkhope yosalala ngati thupi la mwana.

WHEN LOVE EXPIRES

Written By Humaka Lingui

Love at its zenith controls mind.
It becomes a dictionary.
Bundles and presents sent are now
Considered to be a factor of
Measuring how foolish you are.

Playing that biggest game with them
Regretted being the worst decision
Ever made since your existence.
While in jointed seasons, amazing hours
Are called memories, however when it's over,
Such very memories change colour,
They become regrets.

🧠 BE INSPIRED 🧠

Written by Micah Kanyenda

DON'T TERMINATE THE IDEA

She was 17. Pattie Mallette lived in Stratford, Ontario with more bills than hope. Poverty, trauma, instability, almost everything wasn't working for her. Her worst nightmare came when she got pregnant. She felt depressed and wanted to terminate it.
The loudest voice said: End it. You’re too young. You’re not ready.
But her inner voice told her otherwise. She endured all the bad things happening to her and chose not to terminate it. She chose a different ending.

On March 1, 1994, she held a baby boy. No savings account. No backup plan. Just a second-hand guitar, a small apartment, and a decision to keep going.

She worked double shifts. She stretched every dollar. And in the quiet hours, she watched her son teach himself music. No lessons. No studio. Just YouTube and a we**am.
He posted covers because he loved to sing. She hit "upload" because she believed someone should hear him.

No agent. No label. No budget. Just a mom, a kid, and the internet.

Then one day, a talent manager named Scooter Braun saw the videos. What started as a teenager singing in his bedroom became "Baby."
Millions of records. Justin Bieber's voice was heard around the world.

Your circumstances right now isn't your final draft.
Pattie wanted to terminate the dream. She chose to raise it instead. She was told she had nothing but she gave the world everything.

So if you’re scared, depressed and passing through a rough page, If you’re broke and starting from zero. If people are telling you to quit, to terminate that idea, that draft,

Don’t.

Send the manuscript. Raise the idea they said was impossible .

You don’t need perfect conditions. You just need one person stubborn enough to believe. And sometimes, that person is you.

So don't terminate the idea. Keep breathing, keep pushing.

ELOI ELOI

Written by Arnold M.G. Katta-Kaduya I

A sombre visage
Dressed in solemnity
And placards of tears
Begged for mercy
From those that were supposed
To throw listening ears
To a dozen heartbreaking pleas
But alas!
The young and the old
Waxed their ears
And like some silly carousers
They willingly paved the way
For compassion and reason
To departed from them
And a rain of stones
Slipped from their hands
Landing onto a man
Whose sole crime
Was to live amongst
Blood-thirsty vultures
Hiding in human bodies
And just like Stephano
A pillar of unmatched love
Welcomed stones of fury
And painfully we saw
A life ruthlessly cut short
By ignorant morons
Who had been held hostage
By unfounded hearsays
For uncountable decades

(Dedication to those being butchered in Lower Shire)

📝STORY📝

THE DARKNESS OF SORROW

Written by Lusungu Milanzie

I told her that my life was dark as African thunderstorm. From beginning I avoided her because I could not let someone saint like her into my co******er life. Told her I was in middle of fixing whom I was, it was a wise idea if she could have listened me. She was adamant, she convinced me that I will shine as long as I stay beside her. I believed since my heart was drawn in her hill of love.
My heart ached every time I looked at her, I tried to ask myself to time to time, why was I so lucky meeting her. But it was all mirage because my time was running out. The darkness was all over my way. I wanted to disappear without letting someone cry behind for me. Because every time I slept could take in the bell tolling and someone calling me to leave this life behind.
The pit which I had fallen in was once the one I dig myself, thought I was catching the time but instead it caught me at a time I had to make everything better. I hurt hearts of many people as I was trying to experiment my youth. In process of wanting my voice to be heard I did wrong, that come back to me like snow now. The innocence soul that I tortured hovers around my head like ravens. I knew I didn't deserve the mercy from above, for that, I wanted to protect Wongi against me.

"You need happiness; you deserve more" I murmured to her with tears never parting me. It was first time I had pitied and loved someone that much.

"You’re only happiness to me, I deserve your love and understanding" She interposed while holding my hand, she directed it to her chest. I felt throbbing of her heart, she was so scared it was written in her eyes as she continued jerking. All I wanted was her to be happy without a trash like me.

"I had been searching within myself, they are no pieces left of you. That can understand
you when I don’t understand myself " I lied.

Though this was lie but it hit me like I was
gripping my heart out. Why was I had to be cruel to protect her, was this worth it? I asked myself.

"I told you that letting go you is same like letting go my breath. Which is impossible right now. I know all this is lie, you just want to shut a door at me again" She looked up bend her gaze direct into my eyes now. Her eyes questioning me as the tears kept falling like petals on winter.

“You are in love with me and you don’t want to part with me, that I know”

She was more than right but now was not time to admit that. I touched my running nose, as I tried to control myself; telling my body that I was not affected by this though true love unmasks every lie. Unsuccessfully, I wished if she had just come to me early when I was a dove in garden.

"I'm sorry that you had to fall in love with monster, it could have been better if I could hold pendulum of time and meet with you before I bore this thorn in my heart"

I was retreating my step backwards, she had come so close to me and that scared me. She whines at me, as she was silently following me. But today I had taken up her feelings, that I had to know that her silent was just a learnt character.

"Do you remember what you told me that day in library" She held my shirt and asked
boldly.

"I don't remember and I don't want to hear it.
Don't" I lied again and I thundered, my heart
was telling me to pull her on my chest and comfort her there. I just cannot let that happen, at this time my golf shirt was gripped so hard that one of my button dropped on the floor.
She did not care that her sister will hear us arguing.

"So ...so…. I am…" She didn't finish the line and I could see her nose bleeding as if she had been punched. She once told me that when she was depressed she bleed in her nose.She did not care that she was bleeding but tried had to speak as she sat on her bed, making her words to come to sentence.
Now I could not leave her alone or continue the conversation either. Any time police will come I did not want to part her in such away. My heart wanted to tell her that she was my strength and that all I said was a lie. But then what will i yield when police come and handcuff me in front of her.
My problems were mine and mine only, I don't know if she will understand it. I didn't care what others might think but if one person could believe me was her and that was surely enough for me. That I drugged a woman till she died it was not me, but since at one point of time I had been selling drugs I converted it to be only repentance for me. To me it was same murdering and selling drugs although I was not caught but still I deservedpunishment. I left her room reluctantly; the door was too thin as I passed, I saw the world in a cup.I knew no one could understand me, it was only the woman whom I had just hurt her heart. I finally saw the sun outside; it was just about to set in completely. The police were already outside waiting for me, so they had come earlier than I thought. I thought through the word of my mom “A certain day son you will understand what lonely feels like, when darkness and sorrow are upon you" She said.
Now I wished how it was me who died back then not my older brother. We had an argument with my brother then from nowhere come lightning and struck him down. He froze in front of me, I could not take it so I had to run away. Back then
everyone blamed me for being naughty and causing my brother perish. My sister told me that had it been I was not so selfish back then my brother could have not run after me to stop me from stealing and selling drugs. I hated the way he always lectured me but as now I was leaving Wongi apartment I cried uncontrollably thinking his last words which was exactly word my Wongani had just said.

" Don't ever hate yourself, if I end up leaving this world earlier than people anticipate because I just care for you too much"

All good people to me are what I hurt mostly. I did not deserve to be arrested but bullet into my head will actually purify me, sorry bro and Wongi because I had to hurt you both. A cane of sorrow
consumed my soul into a darkness that if I raised my hand now no one will hold me out of this mess.

[THE END]

😳 DID YOU KNOW 😲

Sourced by Precious B. Mitambo

NEW WORLD MAP UPDATE

The United Nations voted on September 4, 2026, to officially retire the traditional Mercator map in favor of the Equal Earth projection to accurately show Africa and other landmasses in their true proportions.

WHAT IS THE UPDATE?

The New Map: The UN General Assembly endorsed the Equal Earth projection, designed in 2018 to show the relative sizes and shapes of continents fairly.

The Vote: The "Correct the Map" resolution passed with 164 countries voting in favor. The United States voted against it, and six countries abstained.

Enforcement: The resolution is a non-binding recommendation. It does not ban old maps, but it encourages schools, governments, and tech companies to update their materials.

WHY THE CHANGE WAS MADE?

Fixing Distortions: The 16th-century Mercator map stretches areas near the poles and shrinks areas near the equator.

Africa's True Size: On the old map, Africa looks about the same size as Greenland. In reality, Africa is 14 times larger than Greenland.

Changing Perceptions: Supporters from African nations and countries like France state that accurate maps correct historical biases and change how the world perceives the economic and political importance of the Global South.
