Vicky Mlilo, a respected ZBC television news anchor, has courageously shared her personal journey with depression as a way of raising awareness and dismantling the stigma surrounding mental health. Speaking at a Women’s Conference held at Rest Haven Retreat Centre in Harare, she opened up about one of the most painful seasons of her life—a period marked by deep emotional suffering, grief, and a sense of overwhelming hopelessness.

She revealed that after experiencing the heartbreak of losing a child and the emotional toll that followed, including struggles with infertility, her mental health deteriorated significantly. The weight of clinical depression left her feeling isolated, numb, and consumed by despair. She described how simple daily tasks became impossible, and how she would sometimes remain in bed the entire day, staring at the ceiling in silence, unable to find the strength to live or connect with the world around her.

In her testimony, Vicky shared that at her lowest moments, she attempted to take her own life three times, hoping to escape the emotional pain that felt unbearable. One of those attempts, she narrated, involved ingesting a large number of tablets and covering herself with the intention of never waking up again. Her story moved many women in the audience—not only because it highlighted vulnerability, but because it revealed the depth of the silent battles so many face.

Today, Vicky uses her experience as a message of hope, healing, and resilience. By speaking openly about her journey, she encourages others to seek help, to talk about their struggles, and to understand that depression is a real illness that requires empathy, support, and proper care. Her voice has become a beacon for women who often carry emotional burdens in silence, reminding them that strength is not found in pretending to be fine, but in choosing to seek help, heal, and rise again.

The ladies’ conference was organized by the United Apostolic Faith Church Harare and Chitungwiza Sphere, in collaboration with the Masvingo and Chegutu Spheres.

Speaking at the Speech and Prize Giving Day on Friday last week, SDC Chairperson Mr. Chamunorwa made a passionate appeal to the community to unite and complete the Tafira Primary School classroom block whose roof was blown away several years ago. He emphasized that the stalled block continues to compromise the learning environment for pupils and urged parents, stakeholders, and the wider community to join hands in restoring a safe, dignified, and conducive space for learners. Mr. Chamunorwa stressed that completing the block is not only a responsibility, but an investment in the children’s future and in the development of education within the community.

Grieving is one of the most painful human experiences. When someone we love dies, the pain can feel unbearable like a deep, aching wound that nothing can soothe. It often arrives with shock, confusion, and an overwhelming sense of emptiness. Life, as we knew it, is suddenly interrupted. Simple things become difficult. Even breathing can feel like effort. But in the heart of that pain, it’s important to remember: grief, though heavy, is a natural response to love. It is not something to be rushed or silenced. It must be lived through, not escaped.

The first step in healing is to allow yourself to grieve. Do not suppress your emotions or try to appear strong for the sake of others. Cry when you need to. Speak their name out loud. Let yourself feel the depth of what the loss means to you. Your pain is a reflection of your love, and there is no shame in it. It is in feeling that pain, rather than avoiding it, that healing slowly begins.

However, in your grief, it’s important not to shut yourself off from those who are still present in your life. The temptation to withdraw can be strong to isolate yourself, to turn inward, to believe that no one can understand what you’re going through. But while solitude can provide space to process, prolonged isolation often deepens the sorrow. There are still people around you who care for you, who need you, and who are likely grieving too. Staying connected to them doesn’t mean you’re forgetting the one you lost; it means you’re choosing to walk this painful journey in the company of love, rather than alone.

Healing from grief is not about forgetting it’s about learning how to carry the memory of your loved one in a way that gives you peace, not only pain. It’s about slowly rebuilding your life around the absence, making space for joy again, even if it first feels like betrayal. Over time, daily life begins to flow again. You find yourself smiling at a memory instead of crying. You laugh again, not because the loss is gone, but because love and life still remain.

Talking to someone you trust can be a great comfort. Whether it’s a friend, a family member, or a counselor, sharing your thoughts aloud helps untangle the web of sorrow inside. Writing down your emotions or speaking to someone who will simply listen can provide clarity and calm. If you are a person of faith, prayer or quiet reflection can also help center your spirit and bring a sense of peace in moments of anguish.

Grief is not a problem to be fixed it is a season to be lived through. It does not vanish, but it evolves. The sharpness softens. The pain, though it never disappears completely, becomes bearable. You begin to carry it differently not like a heavy burden, but like a quiet companion. And eventually, that pain becomes part of your story, not the end of it.

Most importantly, remember this: you are still here. You are still loved. And you are allowed to heal, to live, and to feel joy again, even with the ache of loss in your heart. Grief may change you, but it does not diminish you. In time, you will rise tender, whole, and forever touched by the love you carry within.

The Power of Connection: Mental Health and Success for Professionals and Entrepreneurs

In the demanding worlds of business professionals and entrepreneurs alike, the pursuit of success often comes with immense pressure, long hours, and high expectations. While determination and focus are essential, one critical ingredient for both mental health and sustainable success is the power of connection.

Isolation is a hidden danger that many professionals and entrepreneurs face. Whether driven by the weight of responsibility or the desire to appear self-reliant, retreating into solitude can cloud judgment and impair decision-making. When leaders and innovators operate alone, without the balancing influence of trusted voices, their choices risk becoming narrow, less creative, and emotionally drained. The mental toll of isolation can manifest as anxiety, burnout, and reduced clarity—threatening not only individual well-being but also the vitality of the businesses they lead.

On the other hand, cultivating meaningful connections creates an environment where ideas flourish and resilience builds. Sharing thoughts, challenges, and wins within a strong network fosters a sense of belonging and mutual support. For entrepreneurs especially, who often face uncertainty and risk, having a community to lean on is invaluable. For professionals working within teams or organizations, these connections deepen collaboration and innovation.

No one knows everything, but everyone knows something. This simple truth underscores the vital need to engage, share, and network. By building a strong network, professionals and entrepreneurs unlock collective wisdom that enriches decision-making and sparks creativity. Networking is not just about exchanging contacts; it is about opening doors to fresh perspectives, advice, and opportunities that no one individual could access alone.

The power of laughter and shared moments cannot be overstated. Informal gatherings—whether over a casual coffee, a relaxed meal, or celebratory wining and dining—offer a reprieve from stress and a chance to recharge emotionally. Laughter releases tension, sparks creativity, and strengthens bonds that make professional journeys less lonely and more fulfilling.

A well-nurtured network serves as both a springboard and a safety net. It broadens perspectives, sharpens decision-making, and provides emotional support during challenging times. Entrepreneurs benefit from diverse insights that help navigate the unpredictability of their ventures, while professionals gain fresh ideas and encouragement that drive growth and adaptability.

Ultimately, the journey to success—whether as an entrepreneur or a corporate professional—is rarely walked alone. Prioritizing connection, open sharing of ideas, and celebrating achievements together builds not only businesses but also mental resilience. In a world where isolation can silently undermine potential, the strength of a supportive community stands as a powerful force for both personal well-being and professional excellence.
