A lady who is one of the beautiful girls in Zimbabwe is upset by words spoken by self-styled DJ Shugeta saying why haven't you gotten married yet because you are old, you are a spinster. Let's hear Lorraine Guyo's response."
PEN DOWN: ADDRESSING THE NARRATIVE
Allow me to address what has been happening on social media lately.
First, I want to address Shugeta regarding the post he made this morning. I was on my way to school for my Accounts in-class test when I came across the post through the tags. Shugeta, you managed to convince people to mock me for not being married. As you quoted, "Yayah aroorwa asi kuti Lorraine and Annah extra."
To be honest, this did not sit well with me. You honestly spoiled my day. I spent the whole day "trending," and you triggered people to comment on my marital status.
Yes, I am not yet married. At 26, many people expect one to be planning to settle down, but my path hasn’t been as easy as you might think. I have set a standard for myself. As a girl child raised by a single mother, I told myself I want to get married only when I have fully established myself. That is not an excuse; dating life hasn't been kind to me lately, and my dating life has been a challenge.
However, I have made a decision: I will not settle for less, nor will I settle just because people label me "mvana" .I am praying for a marriage that brings me peace and joy, not one that looks good for other people’s validation.
I see your posts, the "mvana" narrative, and everything else. I am watching it all.
To my fellow ladies who find themselves in the same situation, my reminder to you is this: The God who remembered Esther will remember you. The God who remembered Ruth will do the same for you. In the fullness of time, it shall come to pass.
