Pushing People To Protest On The Streets During The SADC Summit Will Be Counter-productive

Honestly, I do not get the logic behind it.

As the 44th Ordinary SADC Heads of State and Government Summit approaches, the country’s so-called “opposition leaders” have once again begun insinuating that they have plans for mass-protests. Apparently, the innocent lives lost during the August 2018 military crackdown in Harare weren’t enough to deter these self-serving political opportunists from risking more innocent blood. But I may be wrong, who needs to worry about a little collateral damage when there are photo ops and international headlines to be secured, right?

The Human Face Of Climate Change

In the small village of Chimanimani: the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe, I once beheld a scene of unspeakable devastation. A monster, disguised as a cyclone, had ravaged the land, leaving destruction and despair in its wake. The once peaceful community was now a scene of utter ruin. Homes were reduced to rubble, trees uprooted, and lives shattered. It was the first time in a long … Continue reading The Human Face Of Climate Change

The Unseen Cost Of Progress

The unseen cost of progress. That’s what they never tell you about. They tout the benefits, the innovations, the advancements. But what about the price we pay? The price we can’t even see? We’re so blinded by the shine of new things, we forget what we’re leaving behind. The old ways, the traditional ways, the ways that made us human. We’re trading our souls for … Continue reading The Unseen Cost Of Progress

Immortality. The ultimate heist. The greatest score of all time. We’ve all dreamed of it, of leaving a mark that will outlast us, of being remembered long after we’re gone. But what does it really mean to be immortal? It’s not about living forever. It’s about living a life that matters. A life that leaves a scar, a dent in the universe. A life that … Continue reading Immortality

Why an uprising against Zanu PF is doomed to fail.

I see some people advocating for an uprising against Zanu PF. Have you people thought this through? If you really provoke a crisis, with the populace on one side and the machinery of the Zanu PF executive and the justice department on the other, what’s to keep them from herding us into concentration camps? Do you think they will hesitate to use violence against us? … Continue reading Why an uprising against Zanu PF is doomed to fail.

The Blundering Governor

Oh, the joys of leadership, where the buck stops… well, apparently not here! It seems our dear Governor Mushayavanhu has found himself in a bit of a pickle, and who better to pass the salt to than the World Bank? You see, the new ZiG currency is having a bit of a moment, and not the kind that calls for a celebration. Now, I’m just … Continue reading The Blundering Governor
