Midwinter by Mairéad Lewis When Earth tilted away from the sun – the farthest all year – through Meán Geimhridh she stood braced against the hard unsteadiness of bruises and cold remnants of the broken china – her mother’s mother’s china. When Earth tilts away from the sun – the farthest all year – through Meán Geimhridh she stands braced keeping vigil through this tilting night remembering that darkness, waiting for the new-born Sun. (Meán Geimhridh: Celtic Midwinter, pronounced mean guym-rid)

Just Her Opinions And Beliefs by Ndaba Sibanda She doesn’t intend to be offensively offside, yet you don’t need to be on Sithabile’s side, She says: you may flag, scare, scold or strangle me, A mother’s love is a mirror of care, agree to disagree. Sithabile doesn’t always believe that Love and Sex are synonymous in spite of that the worldly souls seem to have applauded, attended and endorsed their choreographed but contentious wedding. She doesn’t believe that Holiday always depends on Hotel for business or survival but that Hotel eats, breathes and dreams Holiday. She thinks Holy Day is petulant, precious and personal. She believes that Good Health and Happiness are good bedfellows we should invite always on our dear friends’ wedding anniversaries or birthdays. Please make a date with them. She doesn’t think that Money and Happiness are one and the same, either. She believes that if she were to choose between the two, Happiness would be the ultimate choice, only if the absence of Money won’t be the absence of Happiness!

Made Fully In Africa by Ndaba Sibanda The Land of a Thousand Hills A magic African travel destination Gishwati Forest is a feast of beauty The Land of a Thousand Hills Is a high altitude tropical forest, Mount Bisoke mesmerizes The Land of a Thousand Hills Lake Kivu smiles with resorts, Lovely coastlines and peaks The Land of a Thousand Hills Cavernous valleys, rolling hills, Grasslands, parks and lodges The Land of a Thousand Hills Is not only about mountains, A conservation and wildlife hub The Land of a Thousand Hills A tech hub whose smartness Made Africa’s smartphones!

Prancing To The African Drum by Ndaba Sibanda Immersed in a fabulous folksong They knew they couldn’t be wrong, Keepers of the village dreams, And the fun fireside memories Pictured, listened and danced To the African drum like a ballad

I Can’t Get Enough Of It by Ndaba Sibanda Please, please take me there, Let me have a blast, Not once, not the last. I seek to unwind… until l can’t be found! Yes, nowhere else but… in the heart of the Matobo National Park! Fun galore… Nature’s bliss mollifies my soul at the Maleme Dam, No, l want to go wild and jump Over the giant granite boulders overlooking the dam. I have a must-attend meeting with the gregarious reptiles there too! Oh on the agenda is fun and fun, We shall sit on those rocks and chit-chat. No biting business today! By the way, I would like reach the summit of Malindindzimu, ‘the hill of benevolent spirits’ and experience the wonder Cecil Rhodes called “View of the World”. The San’s rock paintings will certainly rock and roll with me. I am an ever-hungry consumer of information, so the interpretive museum at the Pomongwe Caves will come in handy! Oh please take me there, I want to feel home, I want to feel the majestic African sun brighten me up. Its rays kiss my face and forehead with that unique tenderness. Please accompany me to the Whovi Wild Area which is home to several bird species and lots of species of mammals. Oh what a sight… Look at the black and white rhinoceros, the zebra, the giraffe, the antelope, the leopard, the flat-footed cheetah, the brown hyena. I am a fan of guided walks and pony. Of course I will go fishing in some of the dams in the Matobo National Park before I disappear into one of those thatched lodges. I need to slow down, cool down a little. Re-energise. Tuck into something finger-licking good. Here I know they serve one with mouth-watering stuff and comfort! On the following day another paradise waits for me. The mighty Victoria Falls! This is Africa, dear. I can’t get enough of this continent`s heavenly tourist centres.
