When I was in school, I hated Shona as a subject. I studied just to pass the exams. In the ZJC shona exam, I knew that my composition did not make sense as soon as I finished it but I was just not bothered to redo it. Which explains the grade I got in that exam. If my parents ever read this blog now they know!
In preparation for our O Level exams we had to read four novels and one of them was Nhume Yamambo by NM Mutasa. I read the book in less than two days in between classes! I enjoyed it. Most people in my class did not get it or just did not like it.
