Friendships That Last



Christina Nziradzemuka, Esther's friend. They first met in Bulawayo in 1992, when they were both at Bulawayo Polytechnic. Subsequently I met Christina's boyfriend, Chester and we became friends. In 1996 Christina & Chester got married. Esther was the best lady and I was the best man.

Esther and Christina fought in the spirit together. They would pray and fast together. In Church they served together. They shared many things. As family friends we shared many happy moments.

When we rushed Esther hospital on the 28th of February 2006 she was there. As Esther was struggling to breathe, she is the one who went to look for milk formula for the Munangi and prepared it. She is the one who took Munangi home when Esther was admitted. She is the one who helped put some order for the baby and to train the maids we had, Joice and Esther.

When Esther passed away she was there. Munangi stayed at her home for about two weeks after the funeral before coming back home. When Mai Mercy, Munangi's nurse joined us she trained and coached her.

She has been a true friend and surrogate mother to Mukundi and Munangi. Together with Chester, her husband they have helped me walk through the bearevement journey. Christina has been a living example of a true and faithful friend, one that sticks closer than a brother. May she be blessed and may God reward her for the sake of Esther.

The people that shape your life


Cde. Raymond Garwe, Esther's brother in law who married Esther's sister, Margaret. He literally looked after Esther as his own daughter. As a brother to me he has always been supportive and loyal. He is a man of his principles, beliefs and persuasions. He always has exciting stories to share life, education, the struggle and family. He has seen a good bit of life in Mozambique, England and in Zimbabwe. He has remained a true supporter and patriot of his soccer team and his political party.
