The Great Holiday




Sepo Konayuma                                                                         Victoria Falls, Livingstone


On the first day we (me, my mother, my dad, my big sister and my little sister) went to living stone. It was a thrilling adventure I’ll never forget. First when we arrived, we went to a Kays Guest house because it was where we were going to stay. we left our baggage there and we went into town.
Kays Guest House, Livingstone

We went to a restaurant where I chose chicken and chips with salads but I failed to finish the food so, my big sister got it and ate it and finished it. Then we went into a big shop and we went into a shop that sold bibles and lolly pops and I bought two of them and I gave one to my small sister. We also went into a shop that sold shoes. I found really awesome shoes but my dad didn't buy them for me. Then, we saw many shops as we went on. We went to Shoprite and I bought a transforming car. My big sister wanted a doll and a house set but my dad didn't buy it for her. We also bought books from Book world. Then, we went to a shop that sold pizza but the people that were there delayed to make it. So we went on and finally we went to buy my dad a charger for his phone and we went home (to the guest house which I liked to call home). As soon as we reached the place, we ate supper and we slept.

On day 2 we were went to Zimbabwe. First we went to a the Falls Shopping mall in Livingstone. There were very few people there. We went to Spar and we bought batteries for my dad’s camera. We also went into a shop where I saw a Ben 10 toy which I just admired without buying. Then, we went to Zimbabwe. We passed though no man’s land. When we reached, we first went to the Kingdom hotel which was the best place I saw in Zimbabwe.

There was a casino, a children’s room and some shops. Then we went into town and into a shop that sold clothes and my dad bought me a jean. Then at lunchtime, we bought pizza from Pizza inn. Then we went back to living stone and we went to the Victoria Falls. The falls were very nice. There were even showers there. It was cool and we even saw a statue of David Livingstone.  Then we went home and we bathed, ate supper and slept.



Day 3: On this day, we went to the Sola 5 conference. I felt a little bored but after the conference, I ate some food and felt better. Then I found my cousin and we played. Then we took my dad to the air port because he was going to South Africa. Thereafter, we went to the Livingstone museum. We saw pictures of David Livingstone and where he died. We saw artificial people, animals (e.g. a lion, insect’s e.t.c) and house. We even saw old cannons. Then, as we were coming out, we saw a chart saying goodbye in many languages. Then, we went to a shop called pep stores. My mom bought slippers for herself. Then we went home and my baby sister slept in my mom’s room with her.

Day 4: When I woke up, I bathed, ate breakfast and we went to my uncle’s place. First we went to Shoprite. There I bought a Lamborghini Gallardo then I found him (my uncle). We went to his place and we got strawberries from his orchard. Then, around 17:00, it was time to go for the Sola 5 conference but I was too tired to go. So, my mom took me to my friend’s place, Dalitso. We played grand theft auto on a computer. Then all too soon, night time came and we went to sleep.



The last day: 
On this day we were going to our real home in Lusaka. We started off around 09:00.the journey was long but we arrived safely. When we reached Lusaka, first we went to my cousin’s place. We left them there and we reached home.

Joyous Celebration

One of the "to do things" I have always wanted to do since I started going to South Africa in 2004 was to watch Joyous Celebration perform live. Who is Joyous Celebration? Joyous Celebration is a gospel music outfit of local South African and international artists that have produced gospel CDs and DVDs since 1994. Joyous Celebration is a dream that was born when Jabu Hlongwane, Lindelani Mkhize and Mthunzi Namba who had met in concerts and conventions in and around Durban toyed around the idea of collaborating. In 1994 a show dubbed Joyous Celebration was held to  celebrate the peaceful transition of South Africa when it became independent.  Each year since 1994 Joyous Celebration has been releasing an album as a CD and DVD around March/April. The release is followed by tours in various South African cities. Since 2004 I have made sure I have collected all the CDs that have been released to-date, the last being Joyous 17 (a triple CD offering) and double DVD offering. T

Book Review: Letter to my Children

Letter to my Children Kenneth Kaunda Veritas Trust 1977 139 pages One of the things that I and my fellow boarders at Kafue Secondary School looked forward to during our meals in the dining hall was receiving letters especially those from our parents and guardians. These letters were important in maintaining connection with our families as we got news of what was happening in our families as well as get advice on how to conduct ourselves at school.  The book 'Letter to my children' by Kenneth Kaunda, the first Republican President of Zambia was written to his children as a kind of public apology for neglecting his children so badly by putting his political career before his family. This book is dedicated to his children and the youth of Zambia. Some key highlights of this book are: Faith and values. Here Dr. Kaunda discusses issues of power. He states that the earliest form of power that he encountered and had a lasting effect on him was the power of the gospel. He further says

He came from a very ordinary family in London. He became a Christian (late 1950s) when he was a teenager through a youth group in an Evangelical Anglican Church. The Billy Graham campaigns in London may also have played some part in his salvation. He did his Bachelor of Divinity at Tyndale House Cambridge. He then entered the ministry as a curate (assistant minister) at an Anglican church in Surrey, England. In 1967, he resigned from the Anglican ministry on theological grounds and joined an Evangelical Free Church in south-west London.
