Urbanites turn to ZANU PF

SATURDAY’s by-elections, if taken as a dry run to the 2023 harmonised general elections, have shown that the combined variants of the MDC, CCC included, are still no match for the revolutionary ZANU PF. Nobody familiar with the Zimbabwean political landscape can be fooled into...

Another liberation struggle narrative

The Chosen Generations (2020) By Thomas Sukutai Bvuma Independently Published ISBN: 979-8-5850-9124-7 THE CHOSEN GENERATION, a book by former ambassador Thomas Bvuma, will definitely get mixed reactions.  Like any good piece of literature, it will educate some and make others uncomfortable.  Bvuma’s book, although a work of fiction, humanises the...

Taking sides in war …NATO, Ukraine and media polarisation

Do not be hoodwinked

A ROSE by any other name is still a rose, it has been said. And it is a truth. Lately the naive young fellow of the Citizen Coalition for Change (CCC) is going around spewing lies claiming to be a messiah of sorts. Tomorrow our citizens go...

Chitepo’s statue necessary

NYANGA is a beautiful place.  The late ZANU Chairman Herbert Chitepo was born there on June 15 1923.  He rose from the East to become one of the country’s finest figures – finest in defending his motherland, and finest in advocating the emancipation of black people.  He...

No need for genuine NGOs to panic

THE outcry by civil society organisations (CSOs) and non-governmental organisations over the proposed Private Voluntary Organiastions (PVO) Amendment Bill justifies our suspicion that some of these entities have sinister motives. We wonder why the palpable panic, as if the proposed amendment seeks to proscribe them! Surely...

Hail our women

OUR people are the most important resource we have. Our women are our pride. In the month of March, women are celebrated the world over. While we join the rest of the world in celebrating women this month, as Africans, as a people, we celebrate our women...

More needed in anti-sanctions fight

AN appropriate tough response to the familiar annual extension to the illegal sanctions on Zimbabwe is now well overdue. Last week, the US renewed sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe for another year and there seems no end in sight to this pattern. As always, frivolous reasons are...

Being black is a blessing

WHEN we talk about how Christianity was used to brainwash blacks, we are often criticised by the same blacks who have forgotten their roots. However, we will continue writing on how Christianity played a role in the occupation of Zimbabwe, and later on in the...
