Elderly man in the Kezi community He can hardly see but his hearing and speech are excellent. A smile is seen as we listen to him reminiscing the past.
It was wonderful meeting up with a man in the Kezi community who has MANY, many years behind him. He is not too sure of his age - it’s estimated that he is about 107, but his 2 children sitting with him were born in 1936 and 1939 respectively. He speaks about seeing Mxwayisi Dube’s (One of the young leaders at Crossroads) great, great, great grandfather who was born in 1906. He also speaks about Lobengula being in the Matobo District before moving to Bulawayo (Part of the Zimbabwean history taught nationally in schools)
He is a wealth of information and we would love to capture as much of the history of the Kezi community from this elderly man’s perspective. We just thank God for the many years of life He has blessed him with.
