HARARE – First Lady, Grace Mugabe, will never cease to amaze. In the last two weeks, she has made headlines especially following her nomination to lead the Zanu PF women’s league. She has gone about threatening everyone she believes wants to place obstacles either on her political career or her business interests which include vast…
HARARE – Very few things demonstrate more poignantly why democracies such as America’s deliver much better for ordinary citizens than US President Barack Obama’s illuminating interview with Zimbabwean student Takunda Chingonzo at the just-ended, and exceedingly successful US-Africa Business Forum in Washington. Here was the world’s most powerful leader by a mile, fielding rather taxing…
EDITOR — I am a resident of Zengeza 1 in Chitungwiza and Zesa Holdings (Zesa) personnel were installing prepaid meters on Monday in houses along Mubvumira, Guyo, Rusero, Svosve, Mutsi and Danga roads in our vicinity. An explosion occurred at a transformer unit or is it a substation along Danga Road. Most of us did…
HARARE – One Zimbabwean, a veteran of many economic and political squabbles, says all of us who are alive today must be regarded as the true heroes of this country, considering how we have survived 34 years without committing hara-kiri. His primary theory is that since independence in 1980, most of us have suffered privation…

HARARE – Recent revelations by Industry minister Mike Bimha that President Robert Mugabe has sanctioned a sector-by-sector analysis on the state of industry in the country are not only shocking to say the least but an embarrassment to the nation. Day after day, we are bombarded by news of company closures, with a few remaining…
HARARE – Drop a match and disappear — that’s the new method being employed by people clearing land for their self apportioned plots in urban areas. The fires, like the illegal grabbing of public land for private practices and individual gain are out of control after years of authorities turning a blind eye. Every day…
HARARE – News that donors have dumped the London-based popular online news publication, SW Radio Africa, might have come as a surprise to the journalists who formed the organisation and their readers. But to those who are in the know and whotherefore understand the operations of these international organisations, this was to be expected. The…
EDITOR — I’m appalled by the operations of traffic police along Chiremba Road where one can find no less than three to four police road-blocks within a 20km stretch of road to Epworth. A trip that is supposed to take only 20 minutes is now taking around 40 minutes as kombi drivers haggle with police…
