EDITOR — Here is my prayer for Zimbabwe. Lord, today we pray, no, we cry out that in all your mercy and grace you will raise up a man to lead Zimbabwe; a man after Your own heart. A man that will bring you honour and glory because Zimbabwe in its present state only brings…
HARARE – As president Robert Mugabe presides over an extraordinary politburo meeting in Harare today, the Zanu PF strongman and his supporters are confronted by critical questions on who exactly is in charge, the kind of legacy it will leave post-December and many other things.

HARARE – Zimbabwe is again at an “interesting” place. The outcome will determine the immediate events in my country and maybe even in the longer term.

HARARE – Finance minister Patrick Chinamasa is facing a daunting task this month-end when he presents the 2015 National Budget at a time when the economy is fast going downhill, without any solutions in sight.
