DO YOU REMEMBER THE DAYS ************************************************ If you remember this, then makura Hama dzangu. The most delicious food ever, the yellow bun or rock bun. The most dirty song, it was even banned on ZBC, Push It. The most memorable songs; You Caught My Eye by Judy Boucher. If you are my age, remember the shoes Sparks nema North Star? How about sale of the year yekwa Power Sales. Ko that program on Radio 2, which told you that you were late for school; the Jarzin Man Show. Admire Taderera then Lazarus Tembo, murume wemadhora, J.A.R.Z.I.N. Ko that program, Itai cent cent iniwo ndatambura... VaPaul Mukondo vanoti, Hupenyu hwenyu idambudziko remwoyo wangu... Kwaziso/Ukubenelelana..... Ndobva ndakwira bhazi ndakananga kuMasvingo kuna sekuru vangu.... Nziyo monditsvagirawo pane idzi, Remember Me by Lucky Dube, Mudiwa Janet by John Chibadura, kana Mugarandega by Thomas Mapfumo. Remember how we used to sing Corruption? Who didnt like the A-Team, McGyver, WWF Hulk Hogan? Ko macartoons acho.... Pink Panther on Saturday, Voltron, Defender of the Universe, Skippy. This one will shock the born-frees: we used to have milk dropped at the gate by the milkman. You just left your empties and coupons there and in the morning you will find milk there. My dad used to like Krest, the drink. How about our soccer matches, sticken. What was that? Hands. Over bar , when there were no goal posts! You just had to jump. Tahem, chuti, sign, kingrikiya, kringodo. Do you remember these words? The most popular guy in my neighbourhood was Eular, coz he was a genius in making wire cars.. Oh man. Hitman, Kelvin Soul Supreme S,Miss DJ Eunice Goto, PJ The Radio Driver. And that reggae prog with Dennis Wilson which was introduced by the song Push Come To Shove. Soccer commentaries on Radio One, Evans Mambara... Over... Over... To you... Charlie. Do you remember Joseph Madhimba achiverenga news with his deep voice paRadio 3 and how we as kids ran to hear him without even making sense out of the news! Christmas will never be the same again. Families are now scattered, kurasika chaiko. Ko the public transport back then; the Peugeot 404s yataigara ku boot takaita 4-4 makumbo akatarisana nemusoro wemumwe. Good Lord! And the drinks. Remember Tarino? Who didnt love Tarino. And when you get into town mukadzi ad murestaurant the chips aka iota kunyura mu cooking oil smelling of fish & the pies so full of meat achiita kufunuka. These we would have with a Coke obviously and it really went down well. The years of agricultural show with the packed lunches from home ataidya kuma grounds tanyatsowaridzirwa mazambia with a bottle of Coke ine straw. And youd keep the staw for the whole year. Imagine kunakidza kwazvaiita. Kuvasikana hembe dzema lace, kanjani? Ko ndasiya ma television movies sei? Remember pa black & white tv, we could just laugh paisekwa mu comedy paisan chatanzwa. I remember Alo Alo, Mukadota Family series, Bionic Woman, Mwenge Mvenge/Ezomgido, Sounds On Saturday, The Knight Rider, etc, and the adverts anga akapenga. I liked ye Sun Jam, Ngwerevere by the Rusike Brothers vaive nePerm. Apa we used to watch tv through windows at the neighbours. We could count on our fingers who had TV in the whole neighbourhood. Did you collect 50 bottle tops and then you got a water glass from Coca Cola? Sherbet yechimuti. Oh how I miss the good old days. Ndozvaiitika kare manje izvozvo. Ko pama dances? Inonzi push dhii manga maikanganwa? Ko imwe stayera yanga yakapenga manje. Iye iye yekuti blaz vaipfeka shirt ye viscose ine ma colour akawanda, trousers repurple, nema teki (sneakers) e red. Vobva vaisa radio pama shoulders vave kuenda zvavo kunotaimira. This is to all my friends and peers who were still growing up btwn the 80s & early 90s. I thought I could rekindle those childhood memories and make you laugh.
