Back in the days when we were growing up we used to hear the monotonous routine of the only once a year song," January Disease". To us it meant reduced money for lunch at school, delays in payment of school fees, change in the house menu to probably to Kapenta and the less economic Chomolia and Rape. This time used be the darkest just soon after the jovial celebratory mood of Christmas.
These were the times when we were still dependent on our our guardians but now its our time to experience the so called disease. When i came into Zimbabwe i found people shopping as if there was no tomorrow and this year was special because people for the first time got meaningful bonuses.
January disease has struck again because of two reasons
1. its January and its so obvious that this disease has to come because of the nature of its name.
2. we have just come out of the festive season and any normal human being has the right to be broke, I mean its only acceptable only during this time of the year not any other.
So folks enjoy your disease and remember that i have the cure and you can always pay latter but ofcourse with interest on top....
i leave you with fooone from the Zambian Diva- Kay
