EDITOR — As Albert Einstein remarked: “The significant problems we face in life cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them. We need to free our minds and soar to heights of thought previously thought unsustainable in order to get ourselves out of the predicament we are…
©️ IT SOUNDS harsh to say the MDC is the proverbial gift that keeps on giving to Zanu PF. But sadly, this is increasingly becoming a discomforting truth. Indeed, how else are Zimbabweans supposed to interpret the regular tendency by the party to shoot itself in the foot — even when Zanu PF is on…
THE example set by neighbours South Africa — rolling out door-to-door testing and screening as confirmed cases of coronavirus (Covid-19) shot close to the 1 500 mark with five deaths as of Friday — is commendable and should be a model for other nations of the world, especially in Africa. That Zimbabwe has decided to…
BLACK EDWARD – DREAMS are absorbing and peculiar and everyone has them. Martin Luther had a dream — I too had a dream last night, which I feel is worth sharing here. Psychologists say dreaming is a way the brain processes different memories, stimuli, emotions, and data that’s been encountered throughout the waking day —…
HARRY PETER WILSON – AS the coronavirus (Covid-19) spreads across the continent, it is encouraging that there are successful African businesspeople, entertainers and footballers who have chipped-in to donate financially and materially to help fight against the virus.

Similarly, the MDC Alliance was a vehicle for elections…
DESPITE teething financial problems facing the Zimbabwe government, President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s regime seems to be doing well in mobilising resources to fight the spread of the lethal coronavirus. By agreeing to work with the private sector and international development agencies in the country, Mnangagwa’s burden to get financial and material resources has to a large…
STRIVE MASIYIWA – On his popular Facebook blog, Strive Masiyiwa proposes a solution to how African countries can address the shortage of critical hospital beds to nurse Coronavirus patients. “We don’t have enough hospital beds under normal circumstances. So what are we going to do if a lot of people get sick at the same…
IT IS unfortunate that there are still some Zimbabweans who are ignoring the stay-at-home lockdown instructions imposed from Monday by the government designed to stop the spread of coronavirus. Sadly, some people are determined to do what they want despite the government orders, resulting in a number of citizens having skirmishes with the police and…
Oliver and Farisai Kapepa – THE world is reeling from what Donald Trump — tongue in cheek — called the “China virus”, but it’s the Covid-19 pandemic. The civilised world — well-resourced and better prepared for disasters and pandemics — has been caught off guard and consequently been hit hard. Italy, Spain, the United States…
