adminGENTLE reader, it is one of the laws of this life we live that what goes around certainly comes around and this true-to-life old adage quickly came to mind when I bumped into this imprudent diamond dealer who has fallen on hard times. Just a few notes will help you realise the unwise brother I am talking about. Big as he is in statue, with this yellow T-shirt that he regularly puts on, the poor bozzo made a fortune during the Chiadzwa diamond rush that he managed to buy fancy cars.
He also had a fleet of high roof kombis, but like morning dew it disappeared. Back then, he even had one of the latest BMWs in town which has since been sold to one of the city’s popular man of the cloth.
As was the norm with most of the like-minded during that era, women of different shapes and sizes were part of his everyday life as he maintained his Benjamin’s eminence.
With his two South African Rand, Your Truly was utterly shocked to see this overweight dude pleading with a kombi conductor for a trip back to the ghetto after a hard day’s work.
Being a peak hour that it was, the kombi conductor felt sorry for him, but could only accommodate him on condition that he would be willing to sit pakadoma.
Yes, you heard me right, pakadoma! Just to keep the body and the soul together, the poor dude is now repairing car brakes for a meagre stipend and is also reportedly running a nearly empty car parts shop near this busy joint in the city where dealers sell different wares.
Dear Reader, I am also of flesh and blood and to me this was a sorry sight indeed! However, the pain I felt for the poor dude was short-lived after I learnt of the shenanigans that he unleashed during the time he was living large.
Blabber was told that the unwise fella is not in good books with his own mother after he literally dumped her when he was busy enjoying his riches with thigh vendors. His mother was all along and until now, wallowing in abject poverty in that sprawling suburb near the terminus yet the boy was wining and dining in different hotels in the city and beyond.
To any sane African like me, that is unforgivable, it is foolhardy and let this misguided boy learn life the hard way. What is this that we hear about a senior employee at this popular funeral parlour who is in the habit of conducting carpet interviews?
In fact, all is not well at this funeral parlour.
News filtering through indicates that the dude is embroiled in a stinking corruption scandal at the company. Apparently the scandal was masterminded by one of the lady employees on whom the dude used to satisfy his unquenchable sexual appetite hence he is now trying to cover up for her misdeeds.
With my ears on the pulse of things in the city, keep your fingers crossed, Blabber will certainly divulge more on this one.
