The rallying cry of the Second Chimurenga, the war against the settler regime had been: Tora gidi uzvitonge: Pick up the gun and determine your own fate. Fortune‘s rallying cry along with his rowdy comrades in the new Chimurenga, which, on Twitter they call the Twimurenga, was tora keyboard uzvitonge, tora unlimited broadband uzvitonge, tora Photoshop uzvitonge. With these three weapons, Fortune became an Avenging Crusader
The words he uses are words that are never written down, they are words spoken in raucous laughter in pubs where the only women in attendance are hookers, so every time that Fortune writes them, he gets a thrill, almost like he expects his mother to reach out from the resort town of Victoria Falls to whack him across the head for even thinking such words.

...it struck me as a stupid waste that witches would expend such marvellous abilities on such pointless activities as flying to cemeteries to eat rotting corpses, when they could have gone anywhere in the world that they chose to go without the trouble of applying for visas or purchasing air tickets.
