    Oh my gosh Petina.. my first memories of reading was becoming a library member at age 4, when my parents who were so into reading introduced me. I loved the smell of wooden panels, shelves, floors, and the books of course! They opened up realms and realms of world's beyond anything I could ever have imagined - it was like travelling through space and time with each book I allowed myself to be lost in. That love for books has carried through my life. I'll also confess that I've been reading whilst walking since I was about 8 years old, can't believe I've found another culprit lol! I haunt second-hand bookshops too! And now my little girl at age 7 is book crazy also; our best times are spent cuddled up together, reading to each other and discussing books, then watching the books in film all over again!...
    You hun are so up my street... 😄

      @jaychirandu346 4 года назад

      Well, if you were keeping track of her utterances in the months leading to the coup, there were people warning Petina about the very issues she is now bringing up, quite belatedly. As a matter of fact, she was not prepared to listen, gung-ho as was in the mood to make sure what she called her Vhitori homeboy grabbed power. Anyone who stood in the way, Petina and her crew of similarly minded Mavhitori quickly labelled those counseling caution tribalists. I am amazed she is now repeating the words she had dismissed with short shrift.
      You say it is her prerogative. Indeed it is. However, do bear in mind that the coup she vociferously supported, and some say actively aided by colluding with some members of the rightwing British aristocracy, Lord Nicholas Soames, for instance. has turned into a genocidal beast. People have lost their lives, the Harare Atrocities of 1st August 2018 being an example. Crimes against humanity are ongoing: cue Mashurugwi brutes, said to be a quasi militia at the beck and call of Petina's Vhitori homeboy, chopping up people with machetes.
      Petina was warned that the coup she helped foment, celebrated and fully backed in public was bound to turn genocidal. Coups lead to genocides, brazen or insidious. We have a low-grade but very deadly genocide in progress. A lawyer by profession, your buddy must know it. When the perpetrators are finally hauled before the courts to be held to account, a prerogative of the victims of the genocide, to borrow from your fancy phraseology, Petina will be in the dock. She knows it, the reason she is trying to distance herself from the blood-drenched crime seen. The victims, and those that champion peace and social justice not for the purpose of hawking books, will never ever forget the genesis of that genocide. If she doesn't know it, you had better give her some heads up.

      @@jaychirandu346 you are preaching to choir here, I was one of those who gave her a rough time and was frustrated that sick a high profile Zimbabwean was sanitising a rogue outfit. All I am saying is that she is making sense in this interview and is allowed to change her position just like any other. Remember even the MDC endorsed the coup and many people were caught up in euphoria and hope of a better country.
