EDITOR — I have been following the trajectory of Jonathan Moyo with profound bewilderment and curiosity. His first move in office of sacking non-performing bosses drew my attention significantly for three main reasons; I know his previous “flaws” in the trade, he is a politician and lastly this is Zimbabwe. Jonathan Moyo is the one…
HARARE – One of his most unforgettable acts of selflessness and courage was Nelson Mandela’s decision to step down from the presidency of the newly-democratic South Africa before the end of his first term. Recently, a sitting African president, recovered from a debilitating stroke and was roundly condemned for daring to stand for re-election. In…
HARARE – There are a number of instances when government has missed opportunities to put this country on a lofty pedestal because of lethargy and dithering thereby giving momentum to outsiders to capitalise on these missed chances. Without enumerating the array of lost opportunities over time, news that government is still undecided whether to partner…
HARARE – As Zimbabwe’s economy bleeds into deflation contrastingly not long after a record breaking and crippling hyperinflationary era — becoming a typical case study on how not to run an economy — strong doubts are emerging about the calibre of the country’s two main political parties in bringing their citizenry to the biblical promised…

HARARE – It is a historical fact that the Daily News had a frosty relationship with Information, Media and Broadcasting Services minister Jonathan Moyo, prior to our forced and unjust shutting down in September 2003, for eight long years, by President Robert Mugabe’s government. To that extent, there was, understandably, some trepidation within independent media…
MARONDERA – Can recent media reports on the brainwave from the new head of Zifa really be true? Apparently newly re-elected Zifa president Cuthbert Dube is going to embark on farming projects in order to turn Zifa’s fortunes around. Not being a football person, I never thought farming had anything at all do with football…
EDITOR — I must say I’m a bit disappointed by how Lady Squanda failed to turn up for the KuMabhebhi Concert. Well, to be honest, I didn’t except that from you. Your fans were waiting eagerly for you, waiting for the dancehall queen but alas, you were nowhere to be found Squanda. My dear, don’t…
EDITOR — I never thought that Elton Mangoma would one day dream of being Zimbabwe’s president as he is clueless and unworthy to talk about being president. If Mangoma is honest, why is that his office failed to act on a major issue which affected MDC’s popularity, especially issues of political victims. Political victims are…
