After months of confusion, hackling and basically not seeing any direction, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) has finally announced dates for their much awaited Elective Congress; the deed will be undertaken from 24 to 26 May 2019. When it is all said and done the party will have a substantive, elected and legitimate leader to carry the party to the 2023 national election.

The inaugural session of the Zimbabwe-Botswana Bi-National Commission (BNC) Summit which ended yesterday in Harare presents both countries with mutual benefits that are set to improve the lives of citizens of the two Southern African neighbours.

It is undeniable that the cost of living for an ordinary Zimbabwean is increasingly becoming expensive, but the latest 3k salary demand by Teachers’ Unions is astonishing to say the least.

The online news publication, Zimeye whose credibility is very questionable, did the unthinkable this week by taking a jibe on the First Lady, Amai Auxillia Mnangagwa through publishing a shoddily-done one-sided negative article on her. The article claimed that the First Lady allegedly ill-treated and fired State House staff arbitrarily. The paper, however, exposed its ulterior motive by failing to provide solid documentary evidence to back its story or exact dates on which the alleged incidents occurred as is the norm in journalism.

The adverse consequence of economic sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe is detrimental to its economic growth as it negatively affects the living standards of its citizens.

On Sunday morning, 24 February 2019, the world woke up to the most unpalatable and distasteful utterances from former president, Robert Mugabe. While celebrating his 95^th birthday at his Blue Roof Mansion, Mugabe did the unthinkable by attacking President Emmerson Mnangagwa for alleged human rights abuses.

Since the formation of the MDC in 1999, that party has been riddled with power struggles. First it was the late MDC leader, Morgan Tsvangirai who was elected at the inaugural party congress in 2000. Tsvangirai repeatedly lost elections in 2000, 2002, 2008 and 2013, but was not prepared to relinquish that post to anyone, arguing that the party could not change the battalion leader mid-battle.

Former President Robert Mugabe celebrated his 95^th birthday last week, a befitting occasion indeed for a man whom God granted the gifts of not only good life as a President of Zimbabwe for 37 years and seven months but also a long life as well. Instead of worshipping God for such unparalleled blessings, the old man chooses bitterness and being vitriol-tongued.

Christened President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s “secret weapon” during the 2018 electioneering, her messages and deeds resonated well with a significant percentage of the “silent vote” – the people that do not come to rallies. However, to her, it was not about votes but uplifting society as she had been in this line of work for some time. To the uplifted, she came across as a person conscious about social problems such as child marriages and cervical cancer and how they could be mitigated – the personification of the softer side of politics, a Fist Lady.
