I live in Marondera, and I have to say to those people who don’t believe we have global warming– Come up here. People who live up here will tell you that the summers used to be wonderful.

No Child left behind 2
By K.T.Nhamo On Zealous Thierry From outside the field of education, “No Child Left Behind” seems like a great program, one that will force Zimbabwe to live up to its ideal: a free and equal education for everyone.

He proved to me once and for all that voting for an intelligent well-meaning president does nothing to stop paid-for politicians funneling all our tax money to their business cronies.

Why should we care?
I don’t get all the fuss over the “failure” of the government to help, Chimanimani. Why should we care about those losers? All that bitching about a few flooded basements! I’ve got nothing against charity: let the Salvation Army give them soup and blankets. But people who choose to live in a crime-ridden area proneContinue reading “Why should we care?”
