HARARE – There is no denying that the wheels have come off. And it is not a secret that authorities are clueless as to how they can save the country’s dying economy from completely imploding. If there was evidence ever needed to highlight how things have fallen apart in Zimbabwe, then one doesn’t need to…
HARARE – President Robert Mugabe’s claims that the Zimbabwean economy is “only second to South Africa (SA)’s” is the kind of nonsense only dodos or the worst of his sycophantic supporters in his beleaguered Zanu PF can swallow and believe. For many right-thinking people, the elderly ruler’s speech at the World Economic Forum (Wef) in…
HARARE – The current situation that is prevailing in most local companies is not far from the definition of slavery if not worse.

HARARE – Ever since the controversial July 2013 elections, Zimbabweans have been scrounging for survival amid a plethora of challenges.

HARARE – An ancient African saying that “when elephants fight it is the grass that suffers” rings loud in the Zimbabwean context where our politicians are oblivious of the pain they are causing to over 14 million people in their blind pursuit for power. Zanu PF factions are expending energy, fighting over unresolved succession, but…
HARARE – Zimbabwe is a community that is hypothetically dedicated to equal access and accommodation for all its members.
