Secret of the Rhino

Getting out of debt can be one of life's most difficult challenges, but it is also one of the most important things you can ever do. Debt itself is not a bad thing, if you can borrow carefully as part of a bigger plan.

The sad truth is that many people tend to get into debt without thinking about its dangers and pitfalls. Credit is easily available; very quickly we are overwhelmed by our debt and end up in a cycle of buying on credit and using most of our salaries just to repay interest and debt.

Charge!

The rhino's weapon is to charge. When threatened, it looks for the biggest threat and charges, taking swift control of the situation. Therefore, the Secret of the Rhino teaches you to face your debt head-on. Learn from the rhino by charging down your debt as fast as you can.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ZIM CULTURE?

What has happened to ZIM culture?

BY TINASHE TIRIVAVI

Publicly discussing sex has been a taboo in Africa particularly in Zimbabwe. This however, took a sad turn when there was an increase in the leaking of sex videos and nude pics especially in the country’s universities.

What has happened to our culture? One would wonder. This has raised an alarm amongst the general community and drove this writer to look into the issue.

One of the students (name withheld) who had her sex video leaked on WhatsApp recently said the living conditions at universities subject them to illicit activities like prostitution and drug abuse which in turn put them in shame.

 “University life is not easy, at times we indulge in prostitution, taken images whilst naked only to please our male counterparts and this eventually ruins,” she said.

“I have no idea how my video leaked and when it was taken it was only meant for my ex-friend,” she added.

Prosper Mudavanhu a Women activist said the nation should stop victimizing the woman when a tape or image leaks but should also take into consideration she was not alone on the video.

He also said there is need to put in place stiff penalties for the man who leak the videos and pictures.

The recently crowned Miss World Zimbabwe Emily Kachote’s nude pictures leaked and now she’s on the verge of losing her crown.

One analyst asked why release the pictures now that she has won?

The question remains what has happened to the Zimbabwean culture? The culture of keep sex issues to the married people and keeping the issues in bedrooms. What should we do as Zimbabweans to curb this issues?
