Darlington Mahuku & Bowden Mbanje Two men can equally succeed in doing two different things simultaneously, one being cautious and the other being impetuous. The two men work in opposite ways but they produce a similar outcome, one being victorious and the other being unwittingly very disastrous, one

This week we look at the negative reports coming from NGOs and civic groups concerning Zanu PF’s landslide victory. If one shakes the NGO and civic group tree, thousands of rotten fruits will fall. NGOs are known as the third sector but over the years, they have slowly merged into both the

ONCE again the MDC -T has cried foul or is it “headless fowls?” “More” Morgan Tsvangirai has once again against all odds regarded the election results as “null and void”, is this not disturbing? It is definitely something that will churn one’s intestines until one ends laughing his lungs and intestines out. As if this […]

To be rewarded by a few pieces of silver or being foreign controlled is nauseating, degrading and dehumanizing. This is because you cannot afford to call your shadow your own because you manifestly belong to someone.

WE have 19 days to go before the harmonised elections and political parties are now in overdrive wooing as much voters as they can to win resoundingly.
This is also the time that rallies are held in various provinces where the party’s political manifesto is unveiled to the electorate. -
THE political climate in Zimbabwe is becoming very interesting as each day passes with many people speculating on what is going to happen when the harmonised elections are finally held. Comparative analyses of how primary

While Africa buries the philosophies of its nationalist children, Europe is busy polluting the whole international system with the thoughts of its own liberal thinkers. In Africa, we live as if Kwame

In our African traditional custom we have a saying that “it is only a foolish fly that follows a corpse into the grave.”
Everybody is aware of what will befall such a fly that dares to follow a corpse into the grave. The irony of it all is that flies were never meant to be -

RIGHT now, on the whole African continent, there is no leader of any political party who is as scared as Mr Morgan Tsvangirai of the MDC-T. The yet to be announced election dates have frightened him -
It took his five-year-old son for him to realise that he was being exploited. It was only one evening when he returned back from work.

In our first article to the Herald in 2010, we pointed out that Western intellectuals were sent to many an African university to preach the gospel of democracy and human rights.

In our last instalment we promised that one of the issues that we were to interrogate is the position of the security sector in national development. As you are already aware the West has unreasonably maintained sanctions against President Mugabe and the security sector leadership. This is indeed an assault on our dignity as Zimbabweans.
