DAY 6: 22 DAY CHALLENGE

I started the 22-day challenge, complements of Dr. Rex Harawa, a person I respect and admire.

Today I nominate Arnold Kaswa. Arnold is a magnanimous and benevolent man. Naturally good hearted. A good Christian with a lovely family. He is always taking part on marathons but instead of just doing it for fun or to win, he raises funds for charity. And before each marathon he runs a practice marathon to keep healthy. He gave me a tip about a 30 minute jog. I intend to embark on this journey also although the marathon is way too high a bar for moi. And he has inspired me that maybe I am not to heavy to start swimming lessons!

The rules are simple:

Once you are nominated, your 22 days start.

Every day you record yourself doing 22 pushups. Try your best to reach 22. If it means doing assisted push ups on your knees,or stop to take a break, that's cool, but make sure to get them all done in one video, all 22 push ups.

Every day you must nominate a different person. Try to choose people you think will want to do this. We got this!

DAY 5: 22 DAY CHALLENGE

I started the 22-day challenge, complements of Dr. Rex Harawa, a person I respect and admire.

Today I nominate Victor Jere. I have not told Mkhosi this but it was his posts on Facebook showing him sweating in the gym lifting them weights that assured me I could do it too. Now you must understand where I am coming from. We Ngonis are not known much for body exercises! Ndife owuma ziwalo. But Mkhosi Victor Jele proved otherwise. Mkhosi is the epitome of a full blooded Nguni; tall dark, well chiselled, dashingly handsome and a debonair. So if such a perfect specimen could do it; I sad pagonachi apa! Nase BaNgoni tingayezga! Now I know I have been lazy in the past months, but since starting this challenge I am playing with my dumbbells again! So Mkhosi this is to say; thank you

If you by chance have already been nominated; then be a Good Samaritan and extend the nomination. In your case Mkhosi; I also suspect you don't need this challenge as I have noted you have not relented in your quest to be healthy and fit! I see you are still actively and passionately playing g my favourite game: basketball. So pass it on.

Day 4 : 22 DAY CHALLENGE

I started the 22-day challenge, complements of Dr Rex Harawa, munthu mulala chomene. A person I respect and admire.

Today I nominate Kondani Chinangwa. KC and me became instant hits the very first day we met. That was at a Trainer of Trainers Workshop at MIM when I was still an undergraduate law student. The eloquent Mr Chimdimu and Mrs Emma Kaliya were the facilitators. There was a debate in the course which the moderator suspended at the end of the day. I thought I had heard the last of it until KC, in his usual articulate, collected and well written presentations, read out the solution to what he termed legal quagmire! I must admit that was the first time I even knew such a word exist. So you can imagine my admiration for this dashing judicial officer. And he always dresses impeccably too. We were so good together that we became a team training others. We had fun and we bonded. We delivered presentations like twins. He knew what I had to say next and when I got stuck. We have been brothers ever since. Here is to you KC, my brother. Thank you for taking me to the heavenly Kara O'Mula and showing me the beautiful Mulanje mountain forest at Mimosa. Ndine waphuma inde koma sindingagagade wa Adamu mpaka ku Mulanje. Ndithyoka.

DAY 3 of 22 DAY CHALLENGE

I started the 22-day challenge, complements of Dr. Rex Harawa, munthu mulala chomene. A person I respect and admire. Thank you Doc for rekindling the exercising spirit in me

Today I nominate Mike Somanje. Yesterday I referred to me and Zagwabeing in the same break-dancing group at Chichiri Secondary School; The Bugaloos. Well Mike or MJ as we fondly called him was the consummate dancer. He brought his martial arts on the dance floor in moves no one could emulate. His moonwalk was smooth and flawless; like he was riding on air. That's why we called him MJ. Even MJ himself would have been envious. He was also the first student I know who had read Luis L'amour by Form 2! His grasp of English was impeccable. Mike was shy however; he never took off his shirt and it was only when he did that I saw the first perfect toned body in a young man. So being the zealot in me, I pursued Mike and he allowed me to practice with him in his sanctuary dojo in the footsteps of Michiru Mountain in downtown Chilomoni. He taught me press-ups I had never seen before. Mike became my guardian throughout my days at Chanco wherever both went. He was always the big brother who I would run to if threatened! He still is. Watch out. Over to you Mgwayi!

DAY 2: 22 DAY CHALLENGE

Today I nominate Zagwa B. Kapito . Zagwa is a special friend to me. We grew up together. We were in the same break-dancing group at Chichiri Secondary School. We called it Bugaloos. Zagwa was always the undoubted leader of our troupe. He taught me many dancing moves. He had a passion for dancing and he loved it. He was also good at it. And he was a good rapper and basketball player too! I have noted that Zagwa has transferred his love and passion to his new found love; insurance. Zagwa is the ultimate insurer. When he becomes CEO of the blue chip company I respect; I will invest in it with confidence. Such is my measure of the man. Here is to you Zagwa: There is no stopping us now!
