I have been trying to characterise this season.A� Is it a soccer season, the cold season, zvihuta . season or all of the above? Suffice to say we are in some season of sorts.
The other possibility that deserves mention is the season of weight gain . . . yes, weight gain to those that can shake off the drought effects and also access cash. But it is largely because people are spending much of their time indoors (doing what, I have no clue, can only speculate) and eating more consistently.
It has been cold but appetites have been surprisingly hot and hot beverages are the in-thing and some serious other beverage drinkers have hot coffee with a�?hottiea�? brandy, some concoction that they claim keeps them warm.
There will be all sorts of dimensional incongruencies and curious protrusions and bulges come end of the season. March babies, are you ok! Yo, love you all.
There has been some silent competition between the Euros and Cosafa. Or did anyone notice? I did. There was very little talk about our Warriors matches at my usual spot . . . guys appeared to be following European football more than our own.
Even the bar remote control operators appeared not aware of the channel showing our beloved Warriors. What has happened to our sense of patriotism?
There is comfort in numbers they say. Quite a number of teams have been knocked out of the Euro 2016, Copa America and Cosafa. In fact I feel Brazilian right now.
Not the best of feelings I must say since it is neither a great Pele feeling or Romario/Ronaldo one. How the mighty have fallen! Dunga ditched on dunghill . . . Our Warriors, who won the Cosafa many times in the past, might take solace from the fact that the Brazilians are also back home, knocked out.
They go home minus their coach . . . For us (we are still coachful by the way) we did not lose a match but we stuttered against Swaziland and Madagascar, then walloped hapless Seychelles!
Also smarting from a knockout are medical aid contributors. Very soon our medical aid cards will be as worthless as bearer cheques.
We hear the fight between Zima and Zimra and the medical aid societies is leaving lots of bloodied noses, among the patients though.A� So these guys decide to demand cash from patients at the height of cash shortages? Wonders never cease.
Many buddies of mine have been renewing their friendships with their na��angas, prophets, maporofita and profits!
These guys are smiling all the way to the nearby hills and pools.
A word of warning to the doctors though . . . there is no guarantee that at the resolution of the stalemate these patients will come back.
I have been talking to uMzo about our burial society to diversify into medical insurance.
After all we have experience dealing with the dead, and we believe the living can tap into that experience for their own good.
There will be some constitutional amendments come our meeting monthend to allow for these changes. Our medical aid would also cover traditional healers fees and prophetsa�� offerings for healings.
More on the developments soon . . . But during consultations with prophets on payment options we will inquire into the future of the Chevrons . . . why not kill two birds with a single stone!
