People Anger  Over Itai Dzamara’s Abduction, Is  A Bond For  Mugabe’s Opponents

The rising demands for the government to either release or find Dzamara – who went missing after staging sit-ins agitating for the resignation of Mugabe – are broadening into a concerted national fury that is…

The  MDC President Welshman Ncube’s – Weekly On Friday commentary on national issues-Friday 10 July 2015, is this weeks about  ‘Why Zimbabweans Are Always Short of‘Food’ The phrase ‘gore rezhara’ or ‘umyaka wendlala’ – the year of famine – is familiar with most Zimbabweans of my age.

‘Mugabe’s Cabinet Reshuffle, Is A Recycle Of Zanu PF Deadwood’- MDC

‘Mugabe’s Cabinet Reshuffle, Is A Recycle Of Zanu PF Deadwood’- MDC

Yesterday’s cabinet reshuffle by President Robert Mugabe is nothing but a recycle of Zanu PF deadwood, who like all Zanu PF ministers in the present cabinet, do not have the capacity to tackle the myriad of challenges confronting Zimbabwe. We have seen absolutely no improvements in the economy since cabinet appointments in 2013 and the reshuffle prior to this one. The MDC therefore sees no prospects for a turn -around under any configuration in the…

‘Why are Zimbabweans so poor?’-Welshman Ncube

‘Why are Zimbabweans so poor?’-Welshman Ncube

A FEW weeks ago, we woke up to a ‘research’ whose results showed a list of fifty wealthiest Zimbabweans. I do not know what benchmark the researchers used, but the message was simple: those men and women have more assets, more money and better quality of life than both you and I combined! Rather than agonising over the wealth of the woman or man next door, the question that resonated in my mind was why…
