WHAT IS A GHOST? BECAUSE I HAVE CERTAINLY NEVER SEEN ONE AND ZAMBIA’S PROPENSITY FOR SENSATIONAL STORIES IS MIND-BLOWING
By Saboi Imboela – SI
It is hard enough believing that witchcraft exists, now imagine seeing a ghost or claiming that it was sleeping with me.
What is a ghost? A ghost is a spirit of someone who died and then comes back to life. Even for the Holy Ghost, Jesus had to die for it to come and live on earth and be with us. So someone has to die for a ghost to exist, from what we have been told and learn from the Bible.
I know that media is about sensationalism and in Zambia even politics gets into everything. But this story is becoming so much bigger than life so fast- the story itself is becoming a ghost.
Last week my ex husband, Owas Ray Mwape, and I decided to do an interview together.
Amongst the objectives of the interview was to show people that you can still be friends after divorce. And as acrimonious as our divorce was, we have come to that place were we are friends and look out for each other, unlike where people that are no longer together would want to wish the worst for each other.
The interview was a great one and we talked about, among many things, how we met, stayed together and divorced.
It is rare to have a divorced couple sit together and have an interview and even though pastor Jimmy initially contacted us to have this interview about three years ago and I thought it was not a good idea, we finally thought that we could actually have the interview. And we are so glad that we did.
However, it is amazing that just from the first clip of the interview, two things that we said have been highly sensationalised. Number one, Owas never called me dull (but actually the very opposite) and I never mentioned any ghost not even once in that interview. So now to have apparently said that a ghost slept with me, according to some online news sources, just from that clip people saw, is very mind blowing. We are really a very creative people lol.
However, once an artist always an artist and I just love the noise that the dramatisation of this interview has created. However, the dramatisation has also scared me I must confess. It is out of this world, it is ghastly.
I urge you all to watch the interview when it airs because it has no dull moment at all. Sometimes you wonder why people have to write film scripts when our own lives are so full of drama. BUT the whole interview, I don’t even mention the word ghost not even worse, trust me, I saw it from the media also.
Honestly, I’m so sorry to disappoint you, but I have no idea how a ghost looks like. But watch the show and learn from our highs, lows and eventual breakup.
Yours in the land of the living;
