An update from me...

We are currently building our own clinic. We assisted a mother giving birth in the middle of the night (00:07) donkeys weren't close ukuthi sibophe inqola simthwale ayebelethela e clinic. She gave birth to a perfect baby boy, no complications at all. Wrapped the baby up, cleaned mommy as well. In a muddy hut, everyone ululating si happy and some gogos went back to their homes. While young mom's we stayed behind, covered ourselves in blankets and slept waiting for the morning so we can take mommy and baby to the clinic. Around 3am, mommy was soaked, she is bleeding so so much. We start tearing blankets to stop the bleeding, akuzo tjidza. We put her in a wheelbarrow with her baby there, covered them warmly and started pushing them to the clinic. We told the men to go look for donkeys, any donkey they find babophe inqola and follow us. Mommy was in so much pain. She said " MaDue ndofila mu bhara shuwa"(I will die in a wheelbarrow )I was like , akuna nhu uno lela mwana wuwo (no one will raise your child)You just need an injection to stop the bleeding that's all. Which she then said "yee e clinic babethe sizithengele i injection yakhona, manje bengingakayithengi" Another kilometer pushing her, she says "la ngiyafa la, sesichaphile uMbembeswana?" That's the river and no we were still far from it. I could tell she won't make it. Helo 🤷🏿‍♀️ I've seen countless dead people. I e wrapped up countless dead people. One lady was carrying the baby, I asked her to put the baby on mommy's chest. In my mind I was thinking "umntanakhe azwe i heartbeat ka mama wakhe for the last time, azwe ukufudumala komzimba ka mama wakhe okokucina". She died. Before we got to the clinic. She died in a fucken wheelbarrow, soaked in her own blood. I asked who was pushing it to stop, lifted the baby off her chest, looked at the time (time of death) pulled the blanket to cover her face. Without saying a word to the others. By doing that, baziba. We sat down, cried, prayed, the baby cried. I was so mad. I was angry. I was hurt. One lady went back home to notify others. Hhuba laka bhuda silinde isidumbu in a wheelbarrow with blood socked blankets. Guess what the clinic said? "Ubengeke asile even ubebelethele lapha ngoba asilayo i oxytocin lathi. Sasitshele omama abazithweleyo ukuthi bazithengele ko Bulawayo and bring it here sibagcinele" She named her son Mkhanyisi jokingly saying "uzelwe kukhanyiswe ngama khandlela" I don't hate my country, I hate the people running it @edmnangagwa legenge yakho @paultungwarara @ZANUPF_Official @zanupf_patriots

Your body grieves routine before it grieves a person.
