HARARE – Zanu PF meets this week in Masvingo for its Annual People’s Conference at a crucial time for the country which is reeling from a cocktail of problems blamed on the liberation movement’s government’s inept policies.

HARARE – It is high time the Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) and the Premier Soccer League (PSL) put an end to their stand-off over relegation and promotion of teams into the topflight.

HARARE – Today, Zimbabwe joins the rest of the world in commemorating International Human Rights Day.

HARARE – We are saddened by the government’s, in its wisdom or lack of it, omission of the critical Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number one to end poverty by 2030 and just like most Zimbabweans, wonder why such an important objective is ignored.
