Dr Clarence suffers battle mental illness
By Nigel Pfunde
Versatile music and video producer Dr Clarence (real name Clarence Kudzai Patsika) has been under the weather after being diagnosed with high functioning autism – a mental condition applied to people who are deemed to be cognitively “higher functioning” (with an IQ of greater than 70) according to readingroom.mindspec.org.
Showbiz hooked up with the creative producer after getting wind that Dr Clarance had gone bonkers.
The young producer acknowledged that he has been having psychological problems lately.
“Well, yes I have been having psychological problems lately. It’s not mbanje or any other drugs but I just have been having psychological problems,” he conceded.
He also revealed that he had sought medical attention and some psychiatrists submitted that he was suffering from post-traumatic stress.
“Doctors said that it was post-traumatic stress after my father committed suicide in 2008. Then last year I was diagnosed with high functioning autism but I’m doing well,” said Dr Clarance.
After further quizzing, the man who has made several hits said witchcraft might be a cause for his problems.
“Also with my talent and versatility enemies have become too much,” he said making an inference that he might have been bewitched.
Lately Dr Clarance has been acting in an unusual manner and producing odd videos fuelling the speculation that he had lost his marbles.
He has produced incoherent comic skits touching on social issues with his most recent ‘fete of absurdity’ being an open letter to the Rerserve Bank of Zimbabwe Governor Dr John Mangudya challenging him to employ him as a consultant while at the same time accusing bankers of stealing using coded scripts.
The full letter below this article.)
Dr Clarance was born in 1988 and fell in love with dancehall music when he was in Form 2.
“My family was dysfunctional and my father was abusive and irresponsible such that I wore a size 12 shoe in Form 2. This forced me to adopt the rasta culture of carefree people and I started singing raga before teaching myself how produce music,” narrated Dr Clarance.
After school he enrolled for an apprenticeship program with Delta Beverages which he later dropped out because he “knew everything”.
“I then dropped out Delta Beverages technical school because they were teaching me what I already knew. I was now full time in the entertainment. Starting from scratch with King Labash, we used to record 20 songs a day and made hits. I did songs and videos for Madiz, EXQ, Stunner, Pastor Gee, King Shaddy and a lot of Urban Groovers then,” he said.
Dr Clarence said he also at one time worked as editor for popular television soapie Estate Blues.
Below is the letter written by DR Clarence to Dr Mangudya:
Open letter to the Reserve Bank Governor…I might be clumsy because I have autism…… But, I have a gift and my gift is I am a thinker, I know how R.B.Z. is loosing Billions, Bank tellers won’t understand because they are just mere till operators, Accountants and Economists cannot understand it because they studied out of fashion modules written long before the digital revolution. Maybe other Computer Engineers like me can understand. People we look up to wont understand that is why ZImpost in next to extinct yet companies like Fedex, SWIFT and Courier Connect are still in business.
I am not talking about liquidity trap, But i am talking about Database systems, Auditors never question the coding of the database systems used by banks. Anyone can access our banking system from anywhere in the world. One doesn’t need any set of passwords because passwords are useless, Credit cards pin-codes are not for the protection of the account but only protect the card.
In Zimbabwe banks are not stealing money by overcharging bank charges but by using coded scripts. When you check your bank statement you will see that banks keep bank charges the same, but when you check ur withdrawn amount you will see that it is actually higher than you really withdrew. Banker do these crimes by scouting for victims, They look for factors like; does this person ever login to their online banking profile, factors like have they ever requested their bank statements. Ever wonder why most Zimbabwe ATMs dont give you a receipt for your transactions when receipt paper is near to free cheap? What are they hiding?
Every time you make a withdrawal a code intercepts ur transaction to add more money. Like when you want to withdraw 100 bucks the code intercepts your transaction and adds more money, 15usd. the code will request 115us, when the banks system responds, the code also intercepts ur response so that you only take 100us, the remain 15us will be taken later inside the bank.
I will not just give out the information for free or mention clear details,
The RBZ governor should hire me as a consultant…My number is 0773390967
