Are Zimbabwean ‘Minority’ Groups Under Threat In Zimbabwe?

Posted on January 22, 2016 by newzimbabwevision

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…

The Zimbabwe MDC Wants To Build – Prof Welshman Ncube

Posted on December 20, 2015 by newzimbabwevision

Often times, with a degree of irritating frequency, I have encountered questions in the media asking why we, in the opposition, always mourn about the bad state of Zimbabwe without proffering sustainable alternatives. I am not sure what inspires such uninformed, if not outright mischievous comments. Since 1998, we have dedicated our time, resources, space and unfortunately lives, to offer willing Zimbabweans life outside the myopic governance of a clueless Zanu PF. Our critics have…

Nine Opposition Parties Sign Document Committing To Fight For Electoral Reforms

Posted on December 4, 2015 by newzimbabwevision

OPPOSITION leaders led by Morgan Tsvangirai of the MDC-T on Wednesday signed a document committing to fight for electoral reforms ahead of the 2018 vote. But the event was boycotted by a number of other political parties, indicating the lack of unity in the opposition ranks despite broad agreement on the need for electoral reforms. The local opposition, led by Tsvangirai, disputes President Robert Mugabe’s triumph at the 2013 election, claiming that – as with…

MDC-T Leader, ‘Morgan Tsvangirai’ Is A Violator Of People’s Right To Internet Usage

Posted on December 2, 2015 by newzimbabwevision

ZIMBABWEANS are enjoying considerable freedom of the Internet, although a United States conservative think tank that has always been anti-Government has identified MDC-T leader Mr Morgan Tsvangirai as a violator of the people’s right to Internet usage. According to a report by Freedom House titled “Freedom on the Net, Zimbabweans”, the country ranks better than most European and African nations because censorship of Internet content is almost non-existent. France and the United Kingdom,…

‘European Union (EU) More Concerned With Zim’s Deteriorating Economy Than Political Hurdles’-Germany’s Ambassador To Zim

Posted on November 27, 2015 by newzimbabwevision

GERMANY’S ambassador to Zimbabwe, Ullrich Klockner, has said the European Union (EU) is more concerned with the country’s deteriorating economy than the political hurdles stalling re-engagement with Harare. Ambassador Klockner told NewZimbabwe.com Thursday that the re-engagement drive remained a “bumpy” ride. “It is a long way forward; it is a bumpy road. We are not sure that it will be successful,” he said. The EU imposed sanctions against Zimbabwe in 2002 over allegations of election fraud by…

Zimbabweans Choking Under Unjustified Levies

Posted on November 25, 2015 by newzimbabwevision

THE spat of levies being introduced by government, the latest of which is the recent gazetting of a farm levy on A1 and A2 resettled farmers, is a sign of bankruptcy, lack of foresight and planning that reigns supreme in the Zanu PF government. It is ironic that Zanu PF is only finding it necessary now to tax these farmers, after all these years of parceling out land to buy their votes and in…

The Majority Of Zimbabweans Are Suffering From Poverty, Disease, Unemployment And Homelessness’-Welshman Ncube

Posted on November 20, 2015 by newzimbabwevision

One of the most distinct features that differentiates MDC from all other political parties in Zimbabwe – save for one or two – is our refusal to use violence as a means of achieving political objectives. You might argue all you like that this has cost us millions of votes, but MDC is adamant that violence – among other repulsive evils like bribery, corruption, tribalism and vote-buying – must remain forever banished from our book…

‘My Government Will Encourage Expanded Media Circulation To Ensure That All Forms Of Media Are Affordable To All Sections Of Society In Particular Rural Communities’ Access &Participation’-Welshman Ncube

Posted on November 5, 2015November 5, 2015 by newzimbabwevision

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 Zimbabwe…

‘Mankind Has Failed To Cure Old Age And Mugabe Now An International Spectacle!’

Posted on November 1, 2015November 1, 2015 by newzimbabwevision

AT a ripe age of 91, President Robert Mugabe has often astounded many, including his most ardent critics by looking to be in relative good health and retaining a remarkable sharp memory. In fact, in a country which sends its 65 year-olds into retirement for old age, little is often expected of nonagenarians. President Mugabe has presided over burial ceremonies of younger lieutenants, speechifying for hours at the funerals. The tough President often boasts that…
