There is a vernacular idiom in iSiNdebele that says,
iminwe ayilingani
Directly translated it would mean, the fingers are not the same length, but it means people are never the same or do not have the same opportunities.
This past weekend, Zimbabwean controversial self-proclaimed Prophet, Passion Java allegedly spent over 1.3 million rands on alcohol alone t at a club in South Africa, an amount which is nine times the money Tariro Ashley Hodzi needs to pay for her cardiac surgery in India.
Tariro Ashley Hodzi is a young girl aged 20 who lives with het father Simbai Hodzi in Mutoko Centre. Ashley is a student at the Ezekiel Guti University.
Unfortunately she is faced with a severe heart failure disease and is in urgent need of a cardiac surgery to repair dysfunctional valves via a procedure called valve replacement surgery.
Ashley’s health has deteriorated tremendously.
A physician, Dr Nyasha P. Maboreke adviced her to go to India for treatment as it is not available in Zimbabwe and the estimated cost of the procedure is US$10 000.
The father, Hodzi is seeking financial assistance from any willing persons who can assist save her daughter. Mr. Hodzi in the meantime has managed to raise over US$2 000.
He needs the balance.
Prophet Passion Java, famous for bragging and flaunting his rich lavish lifestyle, this past weekend, did what he does best at 012 Lifestyle Brooklyn club in SA and spent over 1.3 million on alcohol at Boss Lashaan and Bishop Joshua Muchena birthday celebrations.
So, if Prophet Java can spend over 1 million rands partying could he not assist Simba Hodzo fund Ashley’s surgery?
Passion Java could, he could even pay for other expenses without blinking twice.
Moreso, on Thursday Java promised the Zimbabwe Football National Team, the Warriors, US$5 000 for each goal they score.
The National Team managed to score a single goal.
Thus, this reporter and the rest of Zim GBC News is humbly pleading with Passion Java to dig deep in his coffers and fund Ashley Tariro Hodzi’s surgery.
For the sake of Ubuntu, Panganai Java, may you please heed our plea and save Ashley Tariro’s life.
