The Seventh Sense

On December 11, 2017May 27, 2024 By Takunda GumbuIn My Ramblings, Thinkpieces/Book ReviewsLeave a comment

It is popular knowledge that as human beings we have 5 senses some have gone to say we have 6. That is the sense of smell, taste, sight, feel, hearing and the sense of humour. I believe that as humans we have a SEVENTH SENSE… This is the sense of self or in other words self-awareness, this …

The Doctors Doctrine

I recently came across a very disturbing post on social media about how we as Africans have come to view ourselves. It went something like this, ‘Only in Africa …… An African in a game park with a gun is considered a poacher, one with a booming Business is a Satanist…’ I beg to end …
