It’s a week now after the burial of our dear colleague Fortune Msipa. We are reminded of the warmth and unity that marked the celebration of a life well-lived. The CPS family solemnly remembers a man whose impact was as profound as the gatherings of those who came to honor him. We stood together, unified by the shared loss of a man who was more than a co-worker. We assembled at his rural homestead with his family, friends and neighbours, under a weeping sky. It rained throughout the funeral.
![]() A moment of introspection.....colleagues and loved ones gather around, some in contemplative silence, others perhaps whispering prayers or sharing memories. It’s a unifying scene of collective mourning, a community brought closer in the face of loss. From these snapshots in time, one can glean the essence of Fortune Msipa: a man who inspired unity, who pursued his vision with relentless passion, and who, even in his departure, continues to bring people together. As we reflect on his legacy, let us find solace in the knowledge that his impact will live on through those he inspired. Fortune Msipa, in life, you taught us the value of education and unity; in passing, you remind us of the enduring strength of community. Your legacy is imprinted not only in the books and languages you championed but in the hearts of all those who had the privilege to call you a colleague, a mentor, a friend, a father... Rest in peace, good and faithful servant. Your work here is done, but it continues through the lives of those you’ve touched.

At Consultus Publishing Services (CPS), a proudly woman-owned educational publishing company in Zimbabwe, we stand on the powerful premise that educating a girl is akin to uplifting a village. As we honor the essence of womanhood this month, we delve into the profound significance of women's contributions, not just within the walls of CPS but in our community and beyond. The Lifeline of Empowerment At CPS, we believe in the transformative power of education. The age-old saying, "educate a girl, you educate a village," is a philosophy that fuels our dedication to producing and distributing educational materials that not only enlighten but empower. Every textbook we publish, every story we tell, is imbued with the spirit of empowering young minds, especially girls, to ignite change in their communities and forge a brighter future for themselves. Celebrating Zimbabwean Sheroes While the movement for women's education and empowerment has its roots deeply entrenched in global history, Zimbabwe boasts its own constellation of sheroes. This month of March 2024, we are honouring every woman - the mothers, the teachers, the entrepreneurs, and the dreamers. Each holds a story of triumph, a testament to the enduring spirit of womanhood. Their narratives are the threads that weave the rich tapestry of our society, embodying strength, grace, and resilience. Share Your Story of Triumph We invite you to join us in this celebration of womanhood. Share with us your unique stories of triumph, be it your own or one you've witnessed. Let's create a mosaic of inspirational tales that highlight the indomitable spirit of women. Your story could be the beacon of hope that lights up someone's world.
