I have heard it so many times that we choose our parents way before we are born, and I am happy that I am the one out of a million who won the race!

Dear Father
I think anyone who really knows me, knows that you are my role model, how could you not be?
Your love and passion for what you do, is one beautiful thing I have enjoyed witnessing all my life. Your love to preserve and preach Zimbabwe’s liberation history, the Ndebele history and culture is amazing , I see all the late nights putting in the work. You are one of the most hard working people I know and you stand for what you believe in.

You are also a funny person and most people don’t know that. I love how we have our inside jokes like the Pampers jokes. You’re the only person I know to say that masks are oral condoms and even say it on a live show!
The strength you have is amazing. I have seen you in situations that could have left you broken, but you came out strong. I have let you down a few times, I mean many times but still forgave me and moved on from our differences.
You’re not a very vocal person, but yet your strong quiet presence is always felt. This is the kind of love that I know that even if you don’t say it out loud that you love me, I can see and feel it that you do.

What I also appreciate is that you have given me my flowers whilst I am still alive, you do acknowledge my proud moments.
I have learnt a lot from you and the lesson which tops it all is to work hard and stand for what I believe in. I continue to take notes…

AmaBirwa loNkulunkulu babe lawe, until you see my children now that they have answered part of my prayer, that you see me graduate.
PS: l appreciate the fact that you make feel like this tech savvy goddess. I am here to update your WA and upload a profile picture for you, ALWAYS!
Uyiskhokho Mr Father
Yimi icinathunjana lakho elikuthandayo,
uFie
