Patience of Charity: Zimbabwean Mum-of-two Shares on Her Struggles

admin

Charity Musayani, a Zimbabwean mum of two, was born in 1972 and although her childhood wasn’t very easy, she succeeded in getting a decent job. Unfortunately, she picked a difficult husband, lost a child and soon, her life was turned upside down. Still, she could afford a maid looking after her household and her two kids.

One day, she made one big wrong decision – she gave up her job to go out and dig for gold. It didn’t bring her any luck and life got worse. In her bid to make sure her family survives, she risked her life in the diamond fields to no avail.

She also went through extreme times in Mozambique, trapped by her own family. Many times betrayed, she ended up in South Africa where she now works as a maid.

Charity has now documented the touching story of her life in a book – a project she began when she started working and living with a new family in 2012. They didn’t have a TV and didn’t provide one for her either. But they offered her a massive shelf filled with books. And suddenly Charity read about stories of others people’s lives. Some were true stories, others were fiction, some were entertaining, others were sad, but they had one thing in common, to her they were all interesting. She was brought back into medieval times in Europe, read about foreigners experiencing a new life in America, Europeans getting settled in or not in Africa, and many more.

Then one day, she asked her employer, Nicole, a German, if she should write down her story. The two women started talking and thinking about it. Subsequently, Nicole got her a big notebook and a beautiful pen and Charity set down after work and wrote down her story. She sat in her room many evenings and weekends for almost a year, often with tears in her eyes when she let all those memories that were well locked away come back to her mind. But she made it. Her employer helped her to get the written words onto the computer and then self-published the book for her.

It’s a story absolutely worth reading about a seeming ordinary woman living among us like many others, but with the will to develop and an ambition to make a success of her story.

It’s her past that made her strong for the present that she is living in and the future that is unpredictable.
