A LEGISLATIVE LINE BETWEEN PARENTING AND CHILD ABUSE. A CRITICAL SURVEY by Ellen Ndoro

  A LEGISLATIVE LINE BETWEEN PARENTING AND CHILD ABUSE. A CRITICAL SURVEY Parenting is one of the most important activities that men and women can engage in, but one needs to be fully equipped with knowledge on how he or she can manoeuvre in the journey of parenting. One needs to be aware of the legislative line that can be drawn between parenting and child abuse and the following write up shall be focusing on the legislative line between parenting and child abuse. To begin with, it is imperative for one to understand the meaning of the words parenting and abuse. Parenting is the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social and intellectual development of a child. Abuse (Child Abuse) is the physical, sexual maltreatment and neglect of a child especially by a parent or a caregiver. In terms of section 2 of the Children’s Act a child is defined as any person under the age of 16 years and this includes infants. And this write up will focus on the legislative li

Bought by silver by Lincoln Majogo

  Writers notice The poem is not in any way an attack on virginity as an additive of value to lobola payments. It actually has nothing to do with it. It may sound so and in any way that is unintended. The poem seeks to propose better metrics for ascertaining value, some which includes humility, empathy, compassion etc. The poem reflects why these are better metrics as compared to virginity which in any way in the authors view does not always necessarily reflect ones character. Enjoy the read.   Bought by silver 250 pieces of silver were charged 250 pieces of silver were paid She’s a virgin! “you rarely find virgins these days” the father insisted And by his metric, she valued more on the market He took her and slept with her on the night He bought her with 250 pieces of silver!   He deflowered her on their first night Not a virgin anymore, she was his prostitute for life For his marriage was only to a virgin! Something she no longer was! She hadn’t been sold

Choking the Apostle.

Writers notice. The following piece seeks to unpack some of the long terms effects of early childhood addiction to porn and masturbation. To drive home this point, it uses metaphors some of which may be easily discernible and some not. One must therefore keep an open mind of the issues the author is dealing with and the awareness he intends to raise in a bid to promote early healthy activities for youths. The language used should not in way be construed to depict women as sexual objects and in any way this should be understood to be a short story told for social purposes. The story contains some graphic details and as such the author requests caution and for those uncomfortable with such, this is the part where the they should stop reading any further! Thank you and have an enjoyable read.   Choking the apostle by Lincoln Majogo   The boy’s friend said he had found it, he said. Young Tinashe, aged 8, a freshman in the business had a strong appetite for porn at a very early age. It took
