The year was 1989 in the month of June (if my memory serves me right). They came to play various sports. They were students from one school in Tafara. There were girls too and boy oh boy it had been ages since we had been in contact with arse, save for the usual ones that roamed our environs then.(villlage girls)
During our time people earned notoriety through other things other than chasing after girls. Only a handful, the likes of Herbert Huni knew a trick or two in this area. The rest were either drinking kwaMasiyarwa, Chikambi etc or smoking if not pretending to be studying.
The more mature were specialsts in what one of my best ever dp (dorm prefect) Tonderai Zichawo used to call 'masibhimbi' and what i now term as SASI (Self Administered Sexual Intercouse).
Anyway back to the Tafara-Gate scandal, and this was after being entertained with various booty shaking as the girls went about playing b/ball and v/ball. I had never seen so much saliva drooling out of people's mouths in my entire existence until then.
It was now time to pounce. Dinkles were sharpened and we had a feast that day by our standards then. It was a mad house really, the whole school. People were running and chasing after girls and taking girls into corners. People touched arse and i remember one of my friends confiding in me that he touched arse for the first time since he was born.
AS the unskilled and uninitiated went about their pathetic ways, isu vanaBlackman taitove nemhenya muzvikona tichito tsvodana zvine wililano(remeber Pafunge). Baba Dagger 'Darlington Maphosa' later announced to all and sundry about "how a good catch Gela had and how good they were getting along."
In the meantime there was chaos and pandamoneum on the school grounds. Boys were running after girls and girls were trying to get away from these maurading rascals.
Arse was touched and girl thingy was smelling all over the f**king place. Those who were of a nervous disposition were seen in corners perfoming SASI at the sight of arse. Skirts were torn and and boy oh boy had thongs been in fashion those days i would have confessed to seeing one for the first time. But these were poor girls from a poor school who had come for sports and were now on the receiving end. They had no pants on because they could not afford. As girls punnany smelt all over, the chaos went on until dark. As they say the rest is history.
Kwakazotumwa nhumwe, the likes of Jethro Chirimunjiri and others kunokumbira kanganwiro kuTafara. Takamamiswa naJachi zvisina mukare akamboona.
