Reason Wafawarova on Thursday We did not want to train a militia. We wanted to develop a national youth who is disciplined, patriotic and self-reliant, as well as one who is a responsible citizen, who promotes and fosters national unity. In fact, we centred the NYS programme on the three pillars – patriotism, unity and […]

Reason Wafawarova on Thursday The editor of this paper recently paused a question, “The fight against corruption, is it real or rhetorical?” I quickly made a commitment to write on this topic, and I even promised to borrow the topic as is, which I almost did, in my own different way. I will try to […]

Reason Wafawarova On Thursday The question of Press freedom is as eminent as is that of media responsibility. Both questions attract very easy answers. Any decent modern society must respect the freedom of the Press, and the right of the public to be informed. Secondly, the responsibility of the journalist, or of any decent person,

Reason Wafavarowa on Thursday Conformity by its nature cripples independent thinking, and Zimbabwe has come to a point where journalism operates as a captive of power. Media ownership has become a huge albatross around the necks of reporters, and it does not take scientific scrutiny to figure out the systematic behavioural

Reason Wafawarova On Thursday We have all been in one way or the other socialised to have heroes, and we often look up to them and admire them, just as we also want to emulate them. The media remains the main tool through which we learn of and about our heroes, and these heroes come in […]

Reason Wafawarova On Thursday We, Africans, through our collective political leadership, have a mandate to look after the continental interest, and it is on this basis that the Organisation of African Unity was formed way back in 1963.
