‘Zero Tolerance  To Zanu PF Corruption & Cronysm Needed For Zimbabwe-150 /167 On Corruption Index ‘-MDC W. Ncube

The ZANU PF regime has been, for decades, almost to the point of irritating intoxication, telling us about the virtues of Zimbabwe’s friendship with China. By now, every school going child should know that China supplied us with weapons and training during the liberation struggle. Students of economics are routinely reminded that it is glorious to be friends with China because they are not only the fastest growing economy on the planet, but also that…

‘Zanu PF Is Ideological Bankrupt And Wasting Energy Through Organising Worthless Demonstrations’-Welshman Ncube

  Zanu PF is ideological bankrupt and wasting energy through organising worthless demonstrations by its youth league, MDC leader Welshman Ncube has said. Writing in his weekly opinion piece, Ncube said Zanu PF should instead be “marching against poverty and unemployment”.

Are Zimbabwean ‘Minority’ Groups Under Threat In Zimbabwe?

Are Zimbabwean ‘Minority’ Groups Under Threat In Zimbabwe?

    The month of January 2016 has been, for Southern Africa, wretched in terms of people’s fundamental rights often inappropriately referred to as minority rights. A white woman called Penny Sparrow torched a racial veld fire in South Africa by implicitly calling black peoples monkeys. The deluge and flood of venomous attacks that followed her remarks were not only anticipated, but also inevitable in that we black Africans respond with rage, given our collective…

  Today is Christmas Day, Friday, 25 December 2015. You and I are supposed to be beside ourselves with ecstatic excitement and frenzied pleasure. Actually, thirty years ago, this would have been the likely scenario. If you were employed in the city, you would have collected your bonus, taken a hurried walk to the nearest shopping mall and bought hoes, fertiliser, clothes, groceries, bread and sweets for your extended family. It would have been chaotic,…

“Say And Write What You Want Responsibly”- Welshman Ncube

  In my more than two decades in academia and as a politician I have heard again and again the often repeated assertion that the bond of any professional and ethical media practitioner is the maxim, “Facts are sacrosanct and opinion is free”, and with equal measure I have heard it repeated by rogue states and politicians that, “You are free to express yourself, but you cannot be guaranteed your freedom after expression”.   In…
