Arno Mat Media launches its
very first own Magazine.
After a 2year period since Arno Mat Media has been in
existence, it has been dealing with book cover designs,
posters and logos working hand in hand with the just
dissolved Self-publishing Bureau, Arno Mat Literature
Bureau. With success the upcoming Media Company
has introduced its own e-magazine with no more
intentions than advertising the unrecognized talent in
Africa and the world at large.

The Founder and director of Arno Mat Media, a 24years
old Zimbabwean young man who is also an author,
publisher and graphic designer Mr. Arnold Ndlovu
stressed his point of starting this magazine.`` Some of
the youths are even quitting on their dreams and
talents just because they are not being recognized”, he
said on an anonymous interview. He also stressed the
way he felt about his novels being underappreciated
and wished that he could help the world of those
coming behind him to have a polished road.
The Magazine comes in many parts and it is
in continuous form. It features a Tender Star,
The Did you know Part, Educational and then
the advertising part. It is a non-discrimination
magazine catering for anyone of any race, gender
country and continent. The contents of the
magazine are mostly educative and inspirational
and the targeted population is 13years and
above. It also goes on to advertise the youth
talents, the world landmarks and so on.
It will be published in a fortnight and a half if
late and will be found on social media. It will be
coming in PD, Picture Slides, and music video.
On the music video part the publisher will be
featuring the trending songs or the songs of the
tender star or the artist featured in the
magazine.
‘’Some
even quit
on their
dreams
and
talents’’
Above all Arno Mat Media is not
only in a bid to advertise and
empower artist but also to create
employment. Therefore the
growth of the magazine is going
to determine all of the goals
mentioned above.

The Birth of Baby Steps Clothing Line
By Arnold Ndlovu
F
rom the sunbaked soils of
Tsholotsho in the middle
of unrecognized parts of
Zimbabwe, Joanna Moyo has
defied all odds and went against
the laws of gravity.
After almost a year and a half
living in the south of
her native country
she went on to
find and launch
her clothing
brand which She
named Baby Steps.
When I interviewed her
she stressed a very crucial point
that each and every one of us
who are living should imitate in
our life time. She took me back
to the month of December 2019
when she lost one of her precious
gadgets, her cellphone. She felt
like it was the end of it all. Her
‘’To me it reflected
very well that
sometimes loss can be
a blessing in
disguise.’’
world had been restructured to
the one of the little people. „‟It
took me two weeks to get another
cellphone and thus when the
mindset of creativity and taking
things slowly and surely like
baby steps came up.‟‟ She said.
She continued
and schooled
me that a
journey of a
million
miles starts
with a single
step. „‟Thus
where the name Baby
Steps came about‟‟, she smiled.
To me it reflected very well that
sometimes loss can become a
blessing in disguise.
The design of her logo has
become the talk of the youth as it
might be the new Nike of Africa.

The Power of Art

K
inky with a Black Ink that's
the name she calls the
above portrait. Ntombizile
Ncube is one of the artists I have
witnessed doing what they love
the most and her determination is
finally paying her off.
At 22 years old she is a student at
Zimbabwe Open University and
majors in Media studies and lives
in Zimbabwe. Her passion for art
and love of good music blends well
and qualifies her to be the one of
the upcoming greatest artists.
In the recent years I would say I
have seen African Artists rising up
and taking their art not to the
galleries only but to social media
for example artists like Rasta who
has been setting the internet on
fire with pictures of the late
African Statesmen, heroes and
popular musicians. This
enlightened me and showed me
that art is old and still got a lot to
unveil to us.
Apart from being just a hobby to
her she has economized it and
makes personal portraits and cover
pages for fictional novels.
Her untapped talent has made her

the smell of pencil dust on a white
bond paper to be a professional

artist who takes her time to even
teach those close to her how to do
great Art. She
never stops
practicing infact
she says
she even has
developed a
daily routine.
Ntombizile is
also more than
an artist. She is
also an author
to some exciting
novels that include, Choices We
Make & Other Stories co-written
with Vongai Mujakachi and
published in 2018.
``Art is my life and passion’’, she
told me and I saw it.
She has worked with
Authors like Arnold
Ndlovu and Vongai
Mujakachi as their
editor and seems her
hand really is a hand of
gold.

Behind The Great Wall of China
By Arnold Ndlovu

T
aking a flight to the other side
of the world in Asia, China is
the second largest economy
and first to be if U.S.A blinks.
The country it is the greatest trader in
the world with major ties with most
of African countries where they do
their infrastructure and technological
advancements.
11
For example in Zimbabwe the
country has a strong hold which grew
under the Robert Mugabe regime.
When we then see the Great Wall of
China it symbolizes the supremacy
and the diplomacy the fore-fathers of
China played before the modern
China that we see today.
You also see why in each and every
household in the world you will never
lack an item branded made in China.
Continue on next…
The wall which was built by many
dynasties and was finished by the
Ming Dynasty and is also referred to
as the Ming Wall, 8.851km [PRE-
MODERN FORTIFICATIONS] is
now almost 2300years old and still
standing. It covers almost 15 northern
states and is one of the oldest,
(206BC-220AD) and longest walls in
the world which attracts tourist to the
north of Beijing and it contributes to
the economy of the country through
tourism.
It was built for many other reasons
but the main being for military
purposes as a defense mechanism
from invasions from nomadic
northern nations, tourism and to
promote cultural integration.
The wall has been speculated to be
visible in space.But had been
snubbed by astronauts that it is not
that “Great” to be visible in space but
on the lower obit and also under
favorable conditions says ED Lu and
Eugene Cernan.
The wall is one of remarkable human
made objects on earth that can be
used to identify and trace the history
of certain people including the
Pyramids of the Pharaohs, the Great
Zimbabwean Wall. It is one of the
things you should consider when
visiting the Asian continent.
