Is Patrick Chinamasa Ready for Ministerial Harakiri?- Welshman Ncube

Is Patrick Chinamasa Ready for Ministerial Harakiri?- Welshman Ncube

  This year has been pretty hectic for my learned friend and former Cabinet colleague Zimbabwe Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa. Patrick is a consummate politician, who in spite of the negative public image he has in many circles, mostly justly earned for having been at the forefront of the legal and media justification for ZANU PF’s land grab policies and the attendant attacks on the judiciary, is honest, possesses a beautiful work ethic, loves his…

People’s Democratic Party, ‘Tendai Biti’ Statement On State Of Zimbabwe’s Economy

People’s Democratic Party, ‘Tendai Biti’ Statement On State Of Zimbabwe’s Economy

  The Zimbabwean economy is grinding to a halt with clear evidence that the economy if fast tracking into deep seated economic recession. It is also evident that Chinamasa and any of the acolytes in ZANU PF have neither the desire nor the ability of turning around this economy. In short they are as carefree and indifferent as they are clueless. The economy requires structural reforms if the country is to move forward. Furthermore the…

‘Zhuwao Rubbishes Chinamasa’s Policy Climb-down As Treachourous In Mugabe’s Absence’

HARARE – Damaging discord has once again emerged in President Robert Mugabe’s Cabinet, with two ministers Patrick Chinamasa and Patrick Zhuwao reading from entirely different scripts on the country’s contentious indigenisation framework. So wide has the gulf between the two bigwigs become that Chinamasa, who is the minister of Finance, apparently walked out of a meeting which he was having with Zhuwao, the minister of Indigenisation, on Thursday – as they brawled over planned amendments…

Zimbabweans Choking Under Unjustified Levies

Zimbabweans Choking Under Unjustified Levies

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…

‘I’m The New Sheriff In Town, I Don’t Negotiate Government Policy Or Legislation, I Simply Implement Existing legislation’ -Zhuwao

Combative Youth, Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Minister, Patrick Zhuwao, says the country’s indigenisation law is a piece of legislation based on race, which law specifically seeks to benefit black Zimbabweans at the expense of whites, whom he said were previously “over-advantaged.” Zhuwao made the remarks at the annual conference of indigenous building contractors here last week. “Indigenisation is a policy based on race; that is a fact. It is a policy that specifically seeks to…

Zanu PF Factional Wars Are Dragging, Zimbabwe Deep Into Far Reaching Social, Political And Economic Disasters

Ever since President Mugabe fired former VP Joice Mujuru from the party and government and a number of her supporters this time last year, he might as well have turned on the self-destruct gene in the party because the infighting in the party started and is getting worse. Initially it was Mujuru supporters who were purged, no fewer than 150 senior party officials from provincial leaders to VP have been “baby dumped” as Grace Mugabe…

Mugabe Gears Up For This Year’s Zanu PF Annual December Congress And 2018 Ballot

Mugabe  Gears Up For This Year’s Zanu PF  Annual December Congress And 2018 Ballot

I have always warned that, Mugabe is a heartless  leader who  will  easily come up with chilling oppresive mechanisms of stamping his ruthless authority over the people of Zimbabwe. Mugabe’s tactics are more evident whenever we approach major political phases that could easily upset the balance of power in Zanu PF and the republic of Zimbabwe. The most obvious  challenge that Mugabe is facing now, is the approaching annual December congress for 2015, typically a difficult stage in…

Francis Nhema And Chris Mushowe  Were Just Tea-Drinking Layabouts When In Charge Of Empowerment Ministry

LOCAL government minister, Saviour Kasukuwere, has criticised former empowerment ministers Francis Nhema and Chris Mushowe saying the two were just tea-drinking layabouts when in charge of the portfolio. Nhema was fired from government by President Robert Mugabe early this year after heading the ministry for one and a half years. He was succeeded by Mushowe who had a short stint at the ministry before he was redeployed to the ministry of media information and broadcasting…
