An annular solar eclipse passing through African regions has got superstitious Zimbabweans running wild claiming it is the gods announcing the death of President Robert Mugabe.
The eclipse which was not foretold by the local media caught many Zimbabweans unaware raising questions such as “what could be happening in the heavens?”
The eclipse which came coincidentally with reports claiming that President Mugabe gave in mid air on his way to his hospital in Singapore last night, got Zimbabweans confirming the rumour of the President’s supposed death.
Today 1, September, 2016 from 09:03 AM to 12:36PM areas around much of equatorial and Southern Africa including Zimbabwe experience a partial Eclipse of the sun.
The moon will pass in front of the sun, creating a ring of fire and viewers will be able to see the moon across the sun.
Specialists warn that looking directly at the sun during an Annular Eclipse can lead to blindness and permanent eye damage if one views the eclipse not wearing proper eye protection gadgets.
To safely view the Annular Eclipse one needs special protective eye wear or Eclipse glasses.
Basic glasses even those with UV protection will not be sufficient to protect one’s eyes.

When you leaving for Central Africa you gorillas??
Go to school; you are not educated. Thats the undisputable truth. That is why you like writing in primitive Gukurahundi. English is very easy if you are reasonably intelligent. It will also help you understand Maths; Physics; Biology; Medicine; Space Science; Computer Science and the like. Certainly not Gukurahundi and you know it. Accept it!!
If you experience stink and you continue living within the vicinity of the smell, you are foolish.
How many times have you complained about the Shona? Wakazwa kwazvo!
Kungo wawata. Do something about the problem. Leave the Basarwa out of this. Go back to Zululand, you bloody murderous tribe that has depended on plundering for centuries. You Fool!
We will go when you reach Zululand!
Who told you that I am or am not educated? It’s only your colonized mind that believes English is for the educated and vernacular is for the uneducated. Ndimwi zve vana Mtwakazi vakaitanga kuona vaRungu muchibva mwa mwirire munyu kunga bakayawo.
What is education any way?
Iwe ndiwe dofo remakoko! No wonder kugara uchi tsonyombodza vamwe pa forum. Enda kwasekuru vako vakudzidzise hunhu, mhani!
If all you see are negatives in others, it’s because negativity makes you who you are. You ought to conduct an introspection, and address your short-comings.
Benzi!
Shonas should go back to Burundi and stop making noise here. This is Basarwa land. A ke re batle. Tsamayang bloody shit!!
Kikikikiki Lol. Whats a Ndebele? Stop being funny!!
You have a serious problem that requires professional help. XXDXD, if you are reading my reply to the so called SHONA HATER, take solace from this adage:
NEVER ARGUE WITH A FOOL, or rather, NEVER BE HURT OR CONCERNED BY A FOOL’S SPEECH.
Thanks
I want to slaughter a Ndebeles

Dont write in Gukurahundi. It stinks. Write English like an educated person!!
Voetsek back to Burundi Gokurahundiland. Shona relative of Mugabe Voetsek. Your Shonaism stinks everywhere voetsek!!
Voetsek. Go back to Burundi. Southern Africa is Basarwa/Khoisan land; just go back.
Voetsek Shona dog. Whats this Ndebele thing? What does that mean? What nonsense is that?
Just go back and stop going around smelling Ndebele; seeing Ndebele shadows, whatever that is.
Keep your Ndebele rubbish and then voetsek to Burundi; Voetsek now!!
ZIMEYE may you investigate CABS BANK. The bank is fleecing its customers, RTGS and internet banking has been blocked as from august, TT’S were long stopped and cash is difficult to access. The bank is busy investing its clients’s money in other project at the expense of its clients who are denied access to their cash both electronically/plastic money and CASH. THERE IS MONEY LAUNDERING AT THE BANK. Their main reason is hiding under the RBZ monetary policy and si64 of 2016. A lot of things which are not on the import ban can to be bought using CABS TT now.
If you do not know your history read the following and never utter any nonsense again lest we send you packing where rightly belong!!!!!!!
Origins of the Ndebele in Zimbabwe
The Ndebele are descendants of the Khumalo people who lived under the rule of Shaka in present day South Africa. They got their name ‘Ndebele’ during their association with the Sotho people in the Transvaal region. The name ‘Ndebele’ meant strangers from the coast. The breakaway of the Ndebele from Shaka has been attributed to their leader Mzilikazi who ruled for 50 plus years. Mzilikazi was a chief under Shaka until about 1820 when they fell into a dispute regarding spoils of war. The dispute led to battles with Shaka’s army and eventually forced them to migrate more than 1500km north. Their first settlement was at Ekupumuleni where they raided the Sotho and Pedi. Due to the drought that ensued that year they began to raid more and more of their neighbors even going as far as the Limpopo to raid Shona cattle. Mzilikazi crossed into Zimbabwe in 1838. They split into two groups, one led by Mzilikazi and the other by Gundwane. Gundwane Ndiweni and Nkulumane the heir travelled and settled close to the modern-day Bulawayo which is Zimbabwe’s second largest city.
Zimbabwe is not zululand go back there.
Superstition is ingrained in African culture. Manje apa zvati mbuya yotsakatika, bere rorutsemvi. Superstitious coincidence….
Shonas, when are you going back to Central Africa with your superstitions? Get out of our land; get out of our country!!
Shona Hater was dropped as a baby….. on his big head.
