Defense Minister and Zanu PF Chairperson Oppah Muchinguri has made headlines for the wrong reasons. She was quoted in a video celebrating the demise of Western States by Corona Virus. Muchinguri was speaking on Saturday, at an event organised by the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Collaborators Association (ZILWACO) in Chinhoyi.

These are sanctions that have been imposed by God on them
There is a question that is being discussed among President Mnangagwa’s legion of ardent supporters and loyalists; should the President abandon humour as a device for engaging his audience? Not everyone agrees with this sentiment. The opposite group feels those that subscribe to this thinking are yielding to the whims of an uptight and tense clique of critics who will attack the President regardless of what he does or says. Even if he were to declare that God is good, this pack of detractors will find fault in it. Therefore, this group of supporters doesn’t feel that it is right for President Mnangagwa to change his style of engaging just because some deliberately miss the essence of his jokes. President Mnangagwa has been criticised for making a joke about v

President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s re-engagement efforts with the United States and European countries has hit a brick wall with the diplomats engaged by his emissaries in the Political Actors’ Dialogue (Polad) insisting that MDC leader Nelson Chamisa should be involved in the negotiations. Polad is a dialogue series initiated by Mnangagwa and leaders of fringe parties who participated in the 2018 presidential elections. Chamisa, who refused to endorse Mnangagwa’s July 2018 electoral victory, has refused to be part of Polad. Mnangagwa’s grouping has been trying to engage the international community to end the country’s years of isolation through its sub-committee on international relations and re-engagement led by MDC-T leader Thokozani Khupe.It has, ho

The exchange of words between Tendai Biti vs Chris Mutsvanga is a must- see encounter . Clearly, it systematically demarcates civilization from barbarism, respectively. In a twinkling of an eye, the intellectual exchange degenerated into a WWIII of words . Firstly, in a civilized , progressive society, citizens owe a debt of gratitude to their war veterans. Effortlessly,citizenry exhibits unconditional thankfulness , thoughtfulness and acknowledgement to their war veterans by consistently flashing unadulterated gestures of appreciation. War veterans selflessness by putting their precious lives in harm’s way in liberating the country should always be at the epicenter of a society’s national treasure . Be that as it may , the gangsterism and barbarism exhi
