Paida The Scribbler
My name is Paidamoyo Manomano aka Gerald. I was born on 3 June 1982 in Mt St Mary’s Rusunzwe in Wedza, Zimbabwe. I was born and raised in the rural areas of Wedza, my glimpse to what lay beyond my village life came when I started attending boarding school at Chemhanza High school 1997-2000. I met other kids from different backgrounds mostly from well up city families. Adjusting was a bit challenging considering my strong rural background. I preferred herding my father’s livestock- beasts are not bullies – I had a fair share of bullies and being bullied while growing up.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE BOOKS
Guys this is a must-read book I tell you the truth. Many will definitely relate to the stories in the first edition I have just finished reading, to be honest it ended while I still needed more. I like the ability of the author to take us back to some experiences we encountered in our journey to SA; and how we become who we are today. I know everybody has got a story to tell, however I find it weird how we all can relate to the hope, fears and challenges we had to conquer, the faith we had to keep, in other words trusting the Lord that one day things will fall into place one way or the other and that our dreams will be fulfilled
"Reading your books is like watching movie.
