Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on December 02, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Charles Mungoshi! You've blessed readers globally since the days of "Waiting for the Rain," teaching us patience as we awaited your next brilliant tale. Your stories always resonated deeply and reminded us that indeed, “Kunyarara Hakusi Kutaura” (“Silence is not talking”). Clearly, you're an expert at making silence speak louder than words ever could.

As you celebrate another year of wisdom and creative genius, let’s toast to all those timeless pages you’ve given us—from navigating life's complexities in “Some Kind of Wounds,” to bringing humor and boldness alive effortlessly on stage with “Ingongova Njakenjake.” Here's wishing Zimbabwe's literary legend continued joy—may your pen (or keyboard) never tire!
