Bob Marley 1980 prophecy of Morgan Tsvangirai |OPINION|

(Analysis)Bob Marley prophesied of Morgan Tsvangirai on the 17th April 1980. I am aware that although the truth is apparent, most if not all who are in ZANU PF will not agree with me on this, but when the great raggae star came to Harare’s Rufaro Stadium on April 17, he never even for once [...]

DID WE REALLY HAVE REASONS TO CELEBRATE “INDEPENDENCE” AND “FREEDOM”?

(OPINION)For a people that had endured over a century of oppressive and discriminatory imperialist colonial rule, the lowering of the Union Jack and, in its place, the raising of the Zimbabwe Flag on 18th April, 1980 at Rufaro Stadium, in Mbare, Harare was an enduring symbolic occasion for celebration. Generations of black Zimbabweans had been [...]

TSVANGIRAI’S ELECTION BATTLE PLAN SHOULD CENTRE ON LOBBYING THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

(OPINION)The word election in Zimbabwe triggers chilly shivers; evoking nightmares to many ordinary Zimbabweans because of how ZANU PF and Robert Mugabe have conducted them since independence.

THE INCLUSIVE GOVERNMENT’S PROBLEMS MOUNT BUT THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE

 (Opinion)From the inception of the provisional inclusive government, I was among the thousands sceptics.My misgivings to this process was mainly a founded product of years of mistrust and coercion which ZANU PF inculcated in its subjects.  However, I have come to appreciate that there is no alternative to it and those political leaders who advocate for [...]

The brotherly wind blows

(OPINION)Zimbabwe and South Africa have a long-impossible-to-ignore history, (a symbiosis which is punctuated by mutual dependence and independence; mutual respect and disrespect; and mutual envy and love).

It predates the now commonly used derisive word, makwerekwere. Sealed by [...]

Mnangagwa and Mujuru’s indecision being exploited to the full by Robert Mugabe

(OPINION)- A documentary on National Geographic Channel last week on the behaviours of a group of Hippos in the Mighty Zambezi River was intrusive and quite a learning curve for me. Within this Hippo community there was a dominant male Hippo who, from the narrator’s view point was the Alfa and Omega of the group. [...]

The news broken in early December by the visiting Head of delegation of the European Union to Zimbabwe, Xavier Marchal, that his bloc is prepared to work with the inclusive government with Mugabe as its president, and confirmed by the United Kingdom through David Miliband on Tuesday this week, who said that targeted sanctions will only be lifted on  the advice of [...]
