House of horror should be investigated H-METRO

SANCTUARY, genuine love and peace of mind are needed in life.

Life should be well lived and celebrated all the time.

This special gift of life from God, can only be enjoyable when one has a place they call home.

An ideal home is a place where the down-trodden find relief, happiness and genuine love.

Those in despair should also ease their sorrow at home.

No matter humble, or posh the place might be, home should be an oasis of love, self-belief and hope.

And, with most ideal homes treasured in life, this could be the reason why many in the diaspora are always yearning for a reunion with their folks back home.

Home is always the best place to be in good and trying times.

Home resembles our roots and without it we can’t stand tall.

However, there are some places which no longer deserve to be called homes.

Some people’s conduct, beliefs and perceptions, have stolen all the gloss associated with ideal homes.

Others have made homes little prisons for humanity where occupants regret ever being born there.

In yesterday’s front page story headlined “House of Horror,” we touched the hearts of many when we exposed that some homes have been turned into prisons.

The story involving a Zengeza granny, who spent five days with a corpse in her house, is trending.

The same woman’s son is also believed to have been living in the ceiling for 14 years, under unclear circumstances.

The mother claimed the son, and his late father, could have been possessed by evil spirits.

However, finer details will be exposed once police investigations are complete.

Both the son and the mother are now assisting the police with investigations.

The woman is also believed to be a member of one of the apostolic sects in the country.

With mystery surrounding the decomposing corpse, and the son’s condition after 14 years of living in the ceiling, only God knows better.

The son was believed to have mental issues, which could be a curse, according to the mother.

The Zengeza “House of Horror” case shows that some structures don’t deserve to be called homes.

As modest as it is, the Zengeza “House of Horror” has opened the eyes of many to the strange things which are happening behind closed doors in our communities.

The courage of living with the corpse for five days shows how evil some people have become.

People should never conceal some of the problems they encounter.

A problem shared is a problem half-solved.

Parents or guardians should stop hiding their family members with mental issues or disabilities.

Family members with disabilities or mental issues should never be treated as outcasts as they have the right to life.

People with mental issues have a right to education, medication and rehabilitation.

Homes should be a sanctuary for those in despair and should never be turned into little prisons on earth.
