‘A HIGH COURT JUDGE HAS RULED THAT IT IS ILLEGAL FOR SPOUSES TO PRY INTO EACH OTHER’S CELLPHONES WITHOUT PERMISSION’

This is part of the story that got everyone talking yesterday and to be honest i laughed when i first read the headline to it in yesterday’s edition of The Herald newspaper but curiosity. So imagine my anticipation to get the full scoop of the story when i parted with my $1 for a copy. This major and somewhat important ruling was made by High Court judge Justice Tawanda Chitapi after a sentencing he made due to a very unfortunate incident which i shall not get into right now. According to this article, he further pointed out that snooping into someone’s phone/s contravenes a section of the constitution which warrants everyone the right to not have their communications privacy infringed.

By the time i reached the end of the article, my brain had already chaired a debate. I thought awesome blog post idea.
Is this new ruling ethical? Yes! But what does it mean for relationships. Teeth clenched!
So to be objective i decided to take this article to one of the Whatsapp groups that I’m on so as to not base this post entirely on my own convictions. The feedback i received was both valid/justified and hilarious. The general consensus was this law is valid but should not have been enforced. Based on this new ruling i believe that (excuse the contradictions, I’m only human):
1. If one is in a committed and solid relationship, it is common knowledge that trust should be the foundation of the relationship. This same trust would shatter insecurities which in my opinion is one of the reasons that drive people to snoop.
2. By all means, avoid temptation courtesy of most social media platforms. That ‘innocent flirting’ can cause problems that you would not be able to handle or explain.
3. A phone password shouldn’t be alien to your partner. What are you hiding!
4. If we are in it for the long haul, what’s yours is mine. Vice versa! I shouldn’t have to seek permission to use your phone neither should you.

My name is George Chigaru and what are your thoughts on this new ruling?

#AfricanVoices x Lorraine Kinnear

image

If you are an arts and culture enthusiast, you definitely know who Lorraine Dudu Kinnear is. The young and gifted creative from Botswana thrives in blogging, photography and all things cool. She was also a part of the February series of #OneAfricaOneWord. We just could not resist the opportunity to go off the lenses with her. This is the conversation George Chigaru had with her:

BACKGROUND

1. Government Names

Lorraine Dudu Kinnear

2. Growing up, what was your childhood experience like & was creativity a part of your daily lifestyle?

I grew in a pretty simple school system and much simpler home life. I was raised in a part of extended family where there was always a lot of people affecting you differently and adding so much more colours to everyday living. Creatively I don’t see any early childhood experiences that were exposed to me that might have made any substantial differences to my decisions about following a creative career. I took art class in upper primary school, I was always really good at overall artistic expressions, either of poetry or making up stories (I was actually quite the story teller) or doodles in crayons, paint or whatever medium provided. I was somehow discouraged from it by the idea that was sold to me about, “smart girls don’t practice art…” I then put in on pause until I was responsible for my own decision about who I ought or ought not to be.

3. What did you study and describe how the experience was like?  

In the University I took up Psychology, this decision was based on the belief still of following the “smart girls don’t practice art” train of thought. To be honest I only enjoyed myself in the first two years and then it got really tedious and boring, so much that I had become quite the nuisance in school which then led me to flanking some of my modules. Hardly despairing I realised that there is nothing worse than looking back and feeling like you wasted time on a thing that you did not even complete, I persisted with my Bachelor. After what had seemed like forever I was able to be awarded the degree. I hold and use it to support my travel ideas and to be honest I guess staying in school to finish this was actually a blessing that I had miscalculated earlier in life. In this coming Winter I will be travelling to South America to take part in a program that is mainly supported by this degree. The entire experience was tiring and seemed useless but in the end it’s proving to be worth it.

PHOTOGRAPHY

1. What was your first camera?  

A very bright Fuji Coolpix that I bought off a yard sale, at the time I just wanted something that could take pictures and was easy to function. That I got early in my freshman year. I used to own disposables from being a kid, those don’t count though. If I was to count them then I guess everyone could count their first toy cars as their first cars…if I make sense. Lol

2. What prompted you to get onto photography? Why fashion photography?

I started photography much seriously after I got a real DSLR camera with support of creating quality photographs for my blogs. I guess it came with the package of being a blogger, it was soon after then that I found photography to be quite enjoyable (maybe even more than blogging). I am not exactly a fashion photographer, that’s what I have been popularly known for, mainly because fashion people are fashionable. It is in their nature to make everything trendy. What I do mainly is lifestyle and culture documentation especially with regards to African people, food, landscape and outdoors. The story of Africa has for the longest time been told by outsiders and I mean what means don’t we have that restricts us from documenting our own culture and lifestyle? This is where I come in. I like to travel and explore cultures and document all of it.

3. Was it an immediate warm welcome from your compatriots?  

I wasn’t really welcomed into the industry with a warm round of applause, no? Firstly I had to prove myself, especially that I’m a self-taught photographer. Not everyone considers you as serious as one that’s been to school and holds a scholarly award. I had to source a group of people that I could always compare notes with every now and then. Lucky for me these people weren’t that hard to find and upon finding them I made sure to maximise my progress before they could regard me as competition. You have to work really smart; this is not a time for naiveté and slow-mindedness. It’s a dog eat dog world out there. You literally have to get it, make your trial runs quickly and get out fast then secure a portion of the market.

4. Photography has become quite mainstream across Africa, how is your hustle different from the rest out there? What’s that unique signature attached to yours that gives a clear success guarantee?  

Mine is rather not much a hustle and more a free spirited love thing. I mean I know everyone wants to be making it, making a lot of money and becoming widely known. I want to have a pleasant adult life, comfortable and most importantly fun. The decision to take up such careers is pretty risky but the amount of fun that comes with such an unconventional work field is that you don’t ever feel the pressure to do things that you don’t believe in, you career is as laissez-faire as they get. It is quite laid back, mostly stress free because you don’t leave behind the fun element. This basically makes my whole world spin. I guess that is my mark. And also that I am more promotional of local works makes me feel good about contributing to the history recording of our continent.

5. As a creative, does being black present a barrier or a thump card for you?  

Not that I am aware, I am really stimuli picky when it comes to how I view the world. Let’s say I enter a competition, in it I am Lorraine Kinnear the culture and lifestyle photographer before I am black or brown or caramel or whatever trendy terms we have sought to.  

6. Do you feel like photography and blogging has become a part of Africa’s pop culture?

Absolutely! I know it a cringe to a lot of people but you have to think about this sort of thing as documentation, history writing and tracking our developments. Only when you see it in this light will you begin to appreciate that a blogger from Botswana differs from one from Malawi in this sense and that sense.

7. How did the Elle spread come about?  

I had applied to partake in their street style contribution and unfortunately by that time they had already taken about 3 contributors from home so after looking at my work they asked that they least have an interview. I was so excited about that, I could not sit still the entire day it was published.

FASHION AND STYLE

1. You have an interesting and quirky sense of style, what inspires the way in which you co-ordinate your wardrobe?    

Honestly. The weather of the day I go shopping and the way I dress is inspired mostly by my mood for that day. I wish I could explain it in a way that would make the other person understand but it would need a vlog for it to fall properly into perspective.

2. What are your style staples for a super sophisticated look?  

– Jeans (a really nicely fitting pair)
– Pointe shoes (mostly in nude or black)
– Cape (the bolder the color the better – burgundy/jade/fuschia)
– Great hair

3. Trends over signature style or signature style over trends? Why?  

Signature style all day every day; because how you dress is an extension of who you are. If you truly know that there is no need for you to be always going about in the direction of the wind the way trends do.

4. In your closet, what one thing can you not get rid of?  

I have this burgundy tartan Cape I inherited from my great Aunt. If my house was set on fire I would go back into the house to save it. That’s just how important it is to me.

5. What trends are currently dominant in the local African fashion scene?  

I don’t really follow trends but trends that I see a lot happening in Botswana is earthy toned coordination, deep reds, beiges… There’s a duo of young women that go by the name Glotto that are really shaking my spirit especially highlighting this trend. And boy, do they do it well!

image

LIFESTYLE

1. What is your typical 9 – 5 like?  

I am currently a part of a small corporate training firm; basically I like to draft ideas. I get to work have my morning tea and draft ideas then get back to everyday work of accounting, planning et.c.

2. An avid traveler like you, what are some of the biggest lessons that you have learnt? What cultural aspects have stood out for you?  

There’s nothing that can get you around much like keeping positive spirits, a little humble heart here, and little polite gesture there. People warm up more to people who seem to be simple. We could speak completely different languages but if I have manners you’ll automatically pick it up and chances of you being hostile to me are rather low.  
Ubuntu – the simple notion that a person makes part of a community, and that we carry each other.

LOVE

1. What is your view on Valentine’s Day?

Lol. What a silly holiday!

2. Is there a particular somebody in your life?  

There isn’t a particular somebody in my life. I’m at a time where settling down would complicate a lot of things. I am still such a gypsy, nobody wants to date a gypsy to be honest.

3. What is your ideal romantic date?  

I am such a sucker for picnics with lots of summer fruit. That would be most idea.

4. African celebrity crush!  

D’Banj  

SOCIAL MEDIA, BRANDING AND COLLABORATIONS

1. What are your views on social media parallel to Pan Africanism?  

#AfricaUnite – the fastest way to spread the word is when we do so together. African saying afterall goes, if you want to arrive fast go alone if you want to go far go together.

2. Please share insights into the significance and importance of social media for building your brand and increasing traffic to your work.

That is as important as having breakfast. There is nothing that social media cannot do for you, from helping you raise funds to finding partners to growing your market share. This has to be the best thing that has come to us.

3. When a brand approaches you for collaborations, what are the key elements that you take into consideration?  

I am all open for collaborations, they’re very important in brand growing but I always make sure that the collaboration doesn’t take away too much from myself than I am offering and that it is beneficial.

4. Do you feel bloggers are able to offer value to brands that they collaborate with?  

A blog is just as good as any marketing tool, billboards, print advertising. The only thing is that brands are still quite sceptical about the whole idea. As if they were terrified of change or something. 

5. What is your most memorable brand collaboration?  

I have recently worked with the girls from GLOTTO on a campaign, my oh my was this fun!

6. What African fashion or creative brand would you like to partner with?  

I have the biggest work crush on Cape Town photographer Steve Marais.

FUTURE PLANS

1. What are some of your immediate goals?  

Let’s Go Chile 2016 – I firstly need to raise $3000 towards the trip to Chile and make the most memorable stay (I plan to actually visit Argentina, Panama and Colombia)

2. What will your life look like after you have achieved your dream?  

I will have so much more to give, I will have travelled through 3 continents on a chase to reach 5 continents before I reach 30, that with regards to photography and overall travel and tourism of the world. I will be pretty greatly achieved.

#OneAfricaOneWord x January 2016

image

January 2016 saw the birth of an exciting VodkaCoconuts initiative #OneAfricaOneWord which we created to promote and encourage cultural integration. We had the pleasure and honour of having three different but very interesting faces whose work and what they stand for is admirable!

We asked them to each pick a word that they would use to envision 2016 and as you saw on the Instagram posts, their choices were varied but nonetheless interesting.

image

Tehn Diamond, the multi talented Zimbabwean artist and entrepreneur, picked RELENTLESS as his choice of word. Based on his work, we couldn’t agree more! Its very clear that he is one person who is determined to press on until it WORKS!

image

Lebogang Mgiba, self confessed literature slave and awesome writer, from the beautiful rainbow nation, South Africa, had a very interesting word, RACISM. It came as a bit of a shock to us because truth be told, its an unlikely choice but given the state of events in South Africa at the time of submission it made sense. Racism still lives! Not only in South Africa but in more parts of Africa than one can imagine. It is important that racial injustices are brought out to the open and dealt with so as to ensure a Racism free future. In 2016 and beyond.

image

Zambian blogger Kamota Mayondi, is without a doubt a beauty with brains to match! BALANCED is the word she chose to envision 2016: it is highly imperative that one has a clear head and unperturbed focus in order to guarantee excellence in the goals set for 2016.

That being said, a big love and respect infused thank you to the three young and gifted Africans for being a part of the debut of this initiative.

#OneAfricaOneVoice is an initiative that has been implemented by VodkaCoconuts for Africans to promote cultural integration and the simple sharing of experiences throughout our robust continent.

Using one word, every month, different faces from different countries will use one word to describe a certain (changing) subject. This will form a series of posts on our blog’s instagram and at the end of the particular month, we shall post a piece on here based on that.

Hope you guys will like this initiative.

#FlashbackFriday x Jameson Victoria Falls Carnival

 

‪+260 97 9479872‬ 20150104_153943

Words by George Chigaru

 

Every year end, hundreds of people from across Africa and beyond descend upon the beautiful Victoria Falls town for a once in a lifetime experience that is the Victoria Falls Carnival. I have been fortunate enough to attend all the editions since inception and i can safely say it gets better every time. The Victoria Falls Carnival is indeed the mother of all year end parties in Africa.

 

Let’s take it back to last year’s edition. Before i get started on anything, please note this is an experience and advice piece. RULE NUMBER ONE, it is very important to get tickets well in advance so as to avoid self inflicted disappointment. I left my ticket purchase until a week before the festival and as a result, i missed out on the train party (whose tickets almost immediately sell out after initial ticket sale announcement) and gutted as i was, the parties all over town sure made up for this. Aint no party like a #JVFC party. Talk about a wild and ecclectic set up. Colourful crowd all round.

 

The highlight for me was the colour festival. I had never attended any colour spray event and going into it, there was a few concerns: was the colour going to wash off the all white clothing? Fear of skin irritation from the colour powder! & biggest concern being, the powder getting into our drinks. Can never waste a drop of a drank. I quickly let go of all those concerns the moment my friends and i walked into The Victoria Falls Primary School. What an amazing experience!!

 

Quick side note* it’s important to attend the festival with a bunch of fun loving and energetic friends. However not to worry if you don’t have, everyone there is friendly, so you’re guaranteed a new set of friends in no time!

 

The energy on the school sports field was amazing. Young & old was definitely ready to get LIT. Although at some point, it started raining and i did not particularly like all the choices of the DJs, that did not stop me from owning my #JVFC15 experience. RULE NUMBER TWO by the way, remember to kodak all your moments. The good and the bad. The only bad being that guaranteed moment of having succumbed to the good old power of Jameson Whiskey and sore feet.  For me, there’s no denying the fact that hands down the colour festival was amazing and some.

 

RULE NUMBER THREE, dress comfortably. The crazier the style, the better and the more interesting you’ll appear. Nothing is as annoying as being denied fun by your choice of clothing!! Ladies by all means try to stay away the heels!!

 

Fast forward to the last day of #JVFC15, i have to be very honest on this one, one word UNDERWHELMED. As expected, one would walk in to this one expecting fire works. Basically nothing short of amazing. Alas i was in for a surprise. The only highlight for me was surprisingly Winky D. The thing is i knew about the guy but had never brought myself to giving his music a chance but his performance was world class. He got everyone shaking their little and big behinds off. I particularly liked how engaging & ‘interactive’ his set was. S/O to my Zambian girl Petra Chikasa for the guts to jump on stage and attempt a duet performance with him. It was unfortunately an epic fail. No need to ask why!! That being said, the rest of the performances were anything but fire. Lukewarm is the word!! Even my all time favourite Oliver Mtukudzi failed to impress me. He appeared fatigued and although it is not mandatory, i expected him to perform most if not all of the popular hits we have come to love.

 

Anyhow, the JVFC never fails to excite and impress and as mentioned above, every year it only ever gets better!! And i would like to applaud everyone behind the JVFC production, continue giving us amazing memories and looking forward to another three days of wild partying and making new friends!!

 

#JVFC16 let’s go!!

 

2015 GLOBAL MARCH AGAINST ELEPHANT, LION AND RHINO EXTINCTION.

October 3rd and 4th, 2015 saw people across the globe taking to the streets and marching as one voice to raise awareness against the extinction of Elephants, Lions and Rhinos.

 

This action was/is necessary because if as a people we don’t come together and be the voice of preservation of these majestic and intelligent creatures, we will lose them all.

 

I am George Chigaru and i had the honour of being a part of the Victoria Falls March on Saturday, October 3, 2015 and although the turn out was not as greatly anticipated, it was indeed a good march. As a first timer i found this action without a doubt a great learning experience. It is imperative that as a people we come together and let our voice contribute to the immediate end of lion hunting, ivory and rhino horn trade, both legal and illegal.

 

As one half of the VodkaCoconuts, i pledge to use my voice to educate on the importance of wildlife conservation.

 

[ Posting pics of the event on our Instagram soon:) ]

#HARSHREALITIES x THE INJUSTICE OF COLOUR

“For those of you who are tired of hearing about racism, imagine how much more tired we are constantly experiencing it” – Barbara Smith. 

 

What an amazing and exciting time to be alive. A time where technology and spaces like this can be used to express thoughts that live dangerously within us. Thoughts that can expose, address and hopefully fix the nicely hidden sad realities of our daily lives. The issue at hand today is RACE or rather RACISM.

 

Writing this post, i realise that i might be under a lot of scrutiny but true to our mission, i am just expressing my thoughts on the subject that most would shy away from or dare not think about based on a racial encounter i experienced recently. Sad but true, though well covered, racism is still rife around us!

 

I will not get into so much detail on the said incident but over the past weekend, while swimming with friends at a local (Victoria Falls) hotel, one of my friends’ kids asked to borrow one of the white kids’ floaty and a very disturbing remark was passed by the white kid. So much so that for a second i was paralyzed by a mixed wave of emotion. Shock and Fear being the most eminent.

 

SHOCK – Where does a child learn such? How is it possible for a minor to have such hate?

It is sad and uninspiring to see that although so much has evolved over the years, some white individuals/parents still feel the need to use colour to separate. I believe that the above mentioned racist remark was brought about an ideal that is/has been instilled in the child by the parent. Directly and indirectly. Hate and Ignorance is indeed taught.

FEAR – If our next generation holds close such a sad ideal, the dream to have a future not characterised by colour but content of character looks rather pallid. The fear of an unnecessary struggle to educate my future children on why it is imperative for them to love and be comfortable in their own skin because regardless of what race they are going to be, to some, they will unfortunately be deemed not enough.

 

Now tell me, where to from here?

DISCLAIMER – I love people of all races!!

#AfricanVoices x Nodumo Ncomanzi

shot_2015-07-31_09-27-05

 

Synonymous with a solid sense of self-expression and awesome levels of cool,  Dumo Ncomanzi is all about Pan Africanism, style and so much more. This Zimbabwean born beauty with an impeccable intellectual head on her shoulders is undoubtedly the perfect choice to debut a series of posts that will be published monthly, simply titled African Voices, where we will be hearing the voices of different Africans, home and abroad. This is the conversation we had with her:

 

*Growing up, did you ever see or think of yourself as different and/or did people treat you differently?

 

I always thought I was different, even if I couldn’t really point out how or why in my early years. As I grew older many people who didn’t know me would treat me differently. That hasn’t changed, and may never change. But I was raised by two incredible people who taught me (correctly) that albinism was just a lack of pigmentation and would not stop me from doing or being anything I wanted, unless I let it.

 

*MOVING TO THE US, how did Yale come about? Has it always been part of the dream?

 

I’ve wanted to go to Yale since I was 12. I saw it on Gilmore Girls, and fell in love. I then started visiting the website regularly and finding out more about the school, then being a student there became a goal. With the encouragement and mentorship of great guidance councillors under the US Embassy, I applied, and got the place as well as a scholarship. So yes, a part of the dream has been fulfilled.

 

*Has it been easy adjusting in the land of dreams? What are you studying?

 

The adjustment has been easier in some aspects and more challenging in others. I’ve met and come to know wonderful people, expanded my comfort zone, and have had some exciting opportunities come my way since moving to the US. On the other hand American culture is very different from what I grew up with, and I’d say the cultural adjustment is a continuing process, particularly because I refuse to assimilate.

I’m studying political science, and focusing on international relations, African politics and political philosophy.

 

*What has been the biggest challenge thus far?

 

Measuring up. Yale is an academic and social pressure-cooker. Sometimes keeping up with the high expectations in and out of the classroom can be overwhelming. My first year was really tough, but also character building.

IMG-20150731-WA0010

 

 

*As per your awesome IG page, it is undeniable that you’re quite a stylish individual, how would you define your style?

 

Well, thank you! I’ve been trying to answer this question for myself for a while now. For the moment, I’d describe my style as very urban, often androgynous and occasionally minimal. Ultimately though, I wear whatever I want, whether or not it fits this description.

 

*What influences and inspires your style?

 

I don’t really know. That’s a bad answer, isn’t it? Let me try again. I think my style is largely inspired by my desire to always feel like I’m being the most authentic version of myself, right down to my appearance.

 

IMG-20150731-WA0014

 

*Your ultimate style icon?

 

This is hard. There are so many people whose style I admire, but there’s no-one whose style I try to emulate. In my opinion, personal style is unique. I will however give a special shoutout to Karen Blanchard, who runs the blog Where Did U Get That. It’s not just about her dress sense, it’s about her attitude. Her swag is unmatchable. I’ve been following her for years, and it’s partly because of her that I started blogging earlier this year (yes, I have a blog, which I am terribly shy about. But it’s justdumo.com, go check it out) .

 

*Your take on the fashion and style scene in Zimbabwe and Africa in contrast to the international fashion scene, specifically the US?

 

I believe Zimbabwe has an emerging fashion scene and really talented designers, stylists and bloggers  but there should be more networking amongst them, and with potential incubators, investors and buyers. Zimbabwean players in mainstream fashion retail should also actively support more local brands, and import less, because that’s stifling the growth of the local industry, and discouraging Zimbabwean couturiers.

As for the second question; I’m always wary about giving an opinion on Africa’s collective fashion scene because I think it’s unnecessary to group 54 very different countries under one umbrella. For example, I can’t compare Nigeria’s established industry with the newer and promising but still struggling  South Sudanese one. The market structure, available capital and level of investment and attention given to each couldn’t be more different.

 

*Do you feel Africa is relevant on the international fashion scene?

 

To a degree, my previous answer applies here. I think some African countries are becoming increasingly relevant. Regarding its position as a continent however, Africa is a vital luxe and high-street consumer, but not a producer. Establishing a solid apparel manufacturing industry selling clothing originally made on the continent for mass consumption within the continent and beyond would change that. There are more and more luxe African brands being recognized globally but Africa is still largely the customer, which means our money is funding the growth of fashion brands around the world, except within the African continent.

IMG-20150731-WA0015

 

 

*How do you envision the future of Africa in terms of socio-economic development?

 

It’s complicated. The thing is Africa keeps running away from the idea of regional integration. This is understandable because much of the continent has a colonial history, so autonomy is very important to us. I’d like to believe the continent will begin exploring the idea in the next 15-20 years, and the process of internal cooperative development will begin. Hopefully in the distant future, the continent will also formulate its own definitions of development, because the Western standard simply doesn’t apply.

 

*As per the #IfAfricaWasABar hashtag that recently trended on Twitter, what is your opinion on social media x Pan Africanism?

 

I liked that hashtag. I don’t believe in absolute political correctness, so seeing people laugh at theirs and other countries was refreshing.

As for Pan-Africanism, I could write you an essay. But let me put it this way. The concept of Pan-Africanism as it stand now on social media or in African politics epitomizes the phrase, “It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt.” We love claiming that we are one people, until there’s a massacre, a virus, a coup, or some other kind of crisis which isn’t glamorous enough for some of us to acknowledge. Then we scatter and it becomes the crisis-ridden country’s problem. It’s a painfully uncomfortable truth, but one we need to face, and rectify.

 

*If you could change something in the world, what would that be?

 

*smiles* Don’t put me on the spot like this. I always give a different answer to this question, so this is today’s edition. There’s too much worth changing and I have too little mental space to properly think about it and give you an honest response. That’s my honest response.
