HARARE – The events of the past few weeks indicate very strongly that the so-called MDC renewal team is fast running out of steam. With party leader Morgan Tsvangirai ratcheting up the pressure on the rebels, as well as his grassroots campaigns (and he clearly has the numbers on his side), the renewal team is…
LONDON – It has been long established that a correlation exists between poverty and corruption. Zimbabwe falls in the category of poor countries, with little hope of economic improvement. While the government is anticipating a GDP growth of 6,2 percent, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects a modest 3,6 percent this year. The World Bank…
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…

HARARE – As the Zimbabwean economy sinks deeper into a recession, characterised by company closures, heavy losses by listed firms, deflation and deteriorating social and health services, it’s sad that the Zanu PF-led government has proven itself to be devoid of ideas and solutions. We strongly believe that our leadership’s silence on the worsening economic…
HARARE – The EU-Africa summit took place from April 2-3, 2014 in Brussels, Belgium, and Zimbabwe was not represented at that high-profile and high-level political interface between Africa and Europe. Zimbabwe decided to boycott this very important conference for the childish reason that the First Lady, Grace Mugabe, had been denied a visa to accompany…
EDITOR — Tertiary education has become so expensive in this country. Many universities in the country are so expensive such that an ordinary person can not even afford. Education should be accessed by any one and I wonder with the rate at which the fees are being hiked, where is this country is heading to?…
EDITOR — Our party is sliding into a quandary while we watch. It’s high time we enact hyper-active strategies in order to avert further sinking in the abyss. I think it’s prudent for us to activate systems and move forward with our democratic focus as dictated by our founding values of 1999. Efforts to work-out…
