MDC’s political history since its formation in 1999 has been characterised by monumental failure from demonstrations, Presidential election and service delivery in urban councils just to mention a few.

Zimbabwe once again this September 2019 has an opportunity to express its self to call for the removal of unjust sanctions imposed on it by the West. This is coming at a time when SADC and AU have joined hands in calling for the removal of sanctions and its member states are surely to raise the issue at United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Sanctions continue to be detrimental to economic development as they are a weapon of war being used against the nation and its populace.

...stinks of Uncle Sam’s scent and his regime change runner boys

A fortnight ago, no one knew who Dr Peter Magombeyi was. All of a sudden, an elderly sick gogo in Chendambuya or a sick young boy in Chireya Gokwe, now does know him. Get me right; not for the good reasons at all.

Chapter 4 of Zimbabwe’s Constitution adopted in 2013 outlines various rights which are supposed to be enjoyed by Zimbabwean citizens as they go about their business. A few bad apples among us are busy abusing Section 59 which affords the “freedom to demonstrate and petition”. Of late Zimbabweans have seen both the MDC and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) crying the loudest about alleged human rights abuses.

I was at Matopos not so long ago. An impressive 3 dimensional mural has been erected at the granite dome where Cecil John Rhodes’ grave is. It is the most impressive structure in the vicinity and is standing quite tall. In the western horizons whose imposing late afternoon mists create a symbiotic infusion with the rock outcrops is a very conspicuous cross announcing its presence to the villages beyond. This mural is inscribed, “to brave men,” and with 3D images of men on horseback holding rifles of war.
