Thoughts on the concept of living a very long life

A long life is supposed to be associated with the most wonderful dreams of endless discovery and learning. However, these dreams could carry the grave burdens of seeming boredom, heartbreaking survival beyond loved ones lost, and difficult questions of how to allocate dwindling resources. Longevity may deepen the texture of life, but it may also numb life’s urgency. Perhaps the true essence of life is … Continue reading Thoughts on the concept of living a very long life

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 Looming Catastrophe that Awaits us if We Fail to Rethink our Values

What does the term “values” mean? Values are, simply put, the fundamental beliefs, principles, and ideals that guide our decisions. They shape our worldviews, and define the core of who we are, as individuals and as a society too. These values are not static; they evolve over time. They are influenced by cultural, historical, and social factors. At the heart of our values, lies our … Continue reading The Looming Catastrophe that Awaits us if We Fail to Rethink our Values

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

Progress is The Amazon’s biggest Foe

Deep in the lush, green heart of the Amazon, there’s a quiet battle raging. It’s a place where the thick greenery paints a living masterpiece, but beneath the surface, trouble is brewing. This corner of the world still holds onto the secrets of ancient times, but now, it’s under attack by what some call “progress,” leaving deep wounds in the earth. The real price of this progress is written in the lives of the local tribes, the true keepers of the forest, who see their sacred land being torn apart to serve needs of distant lands.

Mass Incarceration is a National Shame

“An illegitimate government breeds not only discontent but also a sense of lawlessness that permeates through the very fabric of society.” This statement rings true for Zimbabwe, where the rise in crime is not merely a statistic to be analyzed but a reflection of our state of economy and governance. The recent years have seen a notable rise in crime rates in Zimbabwe, with offenses … Continue reading Mass Incarceration is a National Shame

The Zimbabwean Dream Remains Elusive

“The history of Zimbabwe is the history of struggle, sacrifice, and resilience. But as we stare at the present, our dream of a better Zimbabwe seems to fade into the abyss of empty promises.”

Anonymous




My fellow Zimbabweans, it’s time to face a harsh truth. The Zimbabwean dream, once vibrant and filled with hope, has been hijacked by corruption, mismanagement, and the relentless pursuit of power. Today, I stand before you, not just as a mere activist, but as a voice of the voiceless, shouting from the rooftops that the Zimbabwean dream remains elusive, as our nation grapples with a myriad of challenges that hinder our growth, progress, and justice.
