Do you remember how Mrs Brown reacted when I wrote a short story on how I worked in chief’s palace as a pussy shaver shaving the pubic hair of the women in a harem? I still remember the opening of the story. It read: ‘My job in chief Molokolo’s palace who all along thought I had been castrated was to shave the pubic hair of his wives at the palace. The story ended with me bedding some of his wives and paying the ultimate price of death. You remember how white Mrs Brown turned when I read the story? She screamed that I was mad. Well the morality of the story is that many leaders in power think their subjects are blind to their excesses in urinating on people’s rights. They think we are castrated till we rise up and unmask their hypocrisy or demand for justice. Letter to Samantha, Dambudzo Marechera
