If Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai fails to show up at the next burial, especially for comrades in the mold of Chinotimba whose graves have already been reserved at the national shrine, then Zimbabwe will be on fire again! The first fire was recently pledged by Jonathan Moyo warning against the swearing in of Roy Bennett. [...]

Zimbabwe Trapped Again – Mugabe and Moyo’s Genocidal Incitements
Zimbabwe Trapped Again – Mugabe and Moyo’s Genocidal Incitements
Important lies were told this week while it is increasingly becoming more difficult to be optimistic about Zimbabwe again. Especially when you hear that armed police, under military supervision, raided MDC residence over the weekend. Subsequently, Jonathan Moyo’s dire warning that war veterans will set Zimbabwe ‘on [...]

MDC Must Quit Unity Government – Are You Serious?
So, Roy Bennett is back in prison having been indicted on ‘terrorism charges’ (whatever that means). Following the recent seizure of a private company (Meikles Group) and not to be outdone in idiocy, the re-incarceration of Roy Bennett is a brutal reminder that all is not well in Zimbabwe once again!
What is wrong with Mugabe? [...]

Mutsekwa’s Incompetence: Resignation or Reassignment?
Among all people of conscience deeply concerned about the future of Zimbabwe, nothing has riled them more than the recent Mutsekwa-sanctioned seizure of Meikles group of companies, one of nation’s foremost corporate brands listed on both Harare and London stock exchanges. To the MDC, Giles Mutsekwa has become a conspicuous embarrassment, possibly the biggest embarrassment [...]

The Real Parallel Government – Debunking Myths of a Conflicted Double Agent
After spending several months working tirelessly in the shadows as a Zanu PF operative, Jonathan Moyo finally declared publicly that after all, he was on Zanu PF’s payroll championing Mugabe’s cause. His latest charges and scattered accusations about MDC running a parallel government and working in cahoots with the World Bank to effect regime change [...]

Zanu PF – Zimbabwe’s Own Republican Party (Of Lies and Fears)
It is incredibly puzzling that the very same political parties which brought economic ruin to Zimbabwe and the US are now unashamedly in the forefront of stifling progress through obstruction, misinformation and fear-mongering. The irony is that these countries are in dire need of sweeping reforms in order to stop further haemorrhaging.
Prime Minister Morgan [...]

Professor Arthur Mutambara – The Accidental Leader & Stuntman
There is something conspicuously shady about Arthur Mutambara, the beleaguered and deserted leader of an increasingly irrelevant fringe political party which in essence, is closing shop. His splinter party, MDC-M, is notorious for ungraciously entering Zimbabwe’s politics through the back door. But how the inclusive government incidentally ended up rewarding Mutambara as Deputy Prime Minister [...]

Msika’s Botched Legacy – Zuma, Mugabe & Biti Misleading the Public
Contrary to misleading claims and clumsy moralization of Msika’s death by South African President Jacob Zuma, Finance Minister Biti and Robert Mugabe, the death of Msika represents a botched legacy. Since his appointment in 1999 as Vice-President, he became a co-author of a series of man-made disasters. As one of the leading figures of the [...]

Zimbabwe Judiciary – the Fraud Behind the Fraud
Zimbabwe Judiciary – the Fraud Behind the Fraud
To the extent that Zimbabwe had become an authoritarian and a failed state, it is largely because of the judiciary that was successfully privatized by Mugabe. To this present day, the fraud of the judiciary continues to infringe upon the very fundamental principles of democracy. Judicial activism has [...]

In Defense of Mr Biti’s Budget
Zimbabwe Finance Minister Tendai Biti’s recent budget contains important measures capable of wooing entrepreneurs,small businesses and the Diaspora for sustained economic recovery. With unemployment rate over 90%, Zimbabwe desperately needs triggers for driving the economy forward.
“What this budget simply means is that it’s time to ship my ‘gonyet’, my tractor, my F250 and the [...]

Political Thuggery & Compromises – Zimbabwe’s Tragedies
For the most part, the inclusive government was a pragmatic solution to Zimbabwe’s political quagmire. We all know that the formation of the inclusive government was inexplicably shrouded in secrecy. But there was no reason why the inclusive government’s Global Political Agreement brazenly omitted even an addendum on how to seriously deal with human rights [...]

Political Contradictions- The Last Thing MDC needs
Recent contradictions within MDC-T pitting its Finance Minister Tendai Biti against Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai are particularly intriguing. As if exposing the underlying schisms, a subject frequently visited by anarchists, the developments seem to suggest that all is not well between the two men. Inadvertently, many political pundits fell short of calling it a power [...]

Reviving Zimbabwe Dollar Suicidal
Against a backdrop of a visibly wobbling Inclusive Government, there are serious political and economic ramifications associated with the premature de-dollarization of the Zimbabwean economy. An impromptu return to the recently-condemned Zimbabwe dollar can only be politically-motivated especially considering that its ardent protagonist, President Robert Mugabe, is suddenly clamoring for its return only five months [...]

“Zimbabwe PM Tsvangirai Catching a Falling Knife”
Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s world tour that sought to financially reintegrate Zimbabwe into the international community finally came to a close last week. Whether the mission was successful or not depends on your political persuasion per se. While the Prime Minister carefully nuanced positions on the status of the Inclusive Government in Zimbabwe and what [...]

Mr Gono is nobody’s genius: Mr Bloch Please
In a space of two years, Gono successfully slashed a total of 25 zeroes. The name Gono, arguably one of the most corrupt public officials during Mugabe’s regime, cannot feature in the same sentence with the word genius. Given his supreme arrogance, it might very well be that the embattled Governor bribed Mr Bloch to [...]

Dealing with Zimbabwe’s own shameful Guantanamo’s, Blagojevich’s and Toxic Zanu PF Waste
“The recent arrest of Roy Bennet comes as no surprise given the fact that Zimbabwe’s military junta is desperately working to derail the unity government in pursuit of selfish agendas. Even more intriguing and worrisome is President Robert Mugabe’s silence. The people of Zimbabwe expect him to take full responsibility for this prevailing chaotic situation [...]

18 Most Horrible Things of 2008: Why 2009 is Zimbabwe’s year of Change or Rebellion.
231 Million Percent Inflation
With an official rate of 231 million percent as of October 2008, the sky is the limit for Zimbabwe’s astronomical inflation. In Zimbabwe anything called official is a lie! It is the highest inflation rate ever recorded since recording began. As that figure became official coming from the government’s Central Statistical Office [...]

Zimbabwe’s Grief: Cholera and Strange Things
Witches: “Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble”.
The witches’ incantations in William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” certainly resonate with the tragedy that the contemporary Zimbabwe has become. For quite some time, the country has been a cracked house. The only difference between now and then is that the house is uncontrollably leaking from [...]

Memo to SADC Heads of States: Act Now or Forever be Silent!
As you have seen and heard, body bags of cholera victims mostly women and children, continue to pile up at dysfunctional and abandoned hospitals in Zimbabwe while 13 000 people are already infected with the disease, according to the most recent United Nations Report. The crisis also comes at a time when more than half [...]

Mugabe’s Self-Inflicted Miserable Quandary

www.nationalvision.wordpress.com
Talk of civil disobedience, we saw it coming! For the first time in history,
Zimbabwe has started to experience up-close glimpses of a mutiny. The recent
scenes of rioting and looting soldiers running skirmishes with armed police
are a precursor of what is to come given the mounting crises. In spite of
having a political career replete with innumerable [...]

To Be, or Not To Be Mugabe’s Wives, A People Must Rise!
As Zimbabwe’s crisis deepens, what is more frightening is the usual indifference and puzzling calmness of the people of Zimbabwe. They are behaving like sheep waiting to be slaughtered at a time when they should be itchy, antsy and revolting. Since the election of 2002 we have witnessed a nation haplessly slipping through every grade [...]

Obama Presidency, a missed opportunity for Zimbabwe and most of Africa.
Mathematically an Obama presidency has increasingly become inevitable. All roads lead to Rome! While a few African nations are positioning themselves for a windfall from an Obama Presidency which was built on the promise of hope and change for the US and the World, Zimbabwe and other rogue African states are pulling in the opposite [...]

MDC Must Re-organize Or Risk Irrelevancy.
Threatening to proceed without MDC, Zanu PF is continuing to engage in counterfeit ultra-nationalistic rhetoric to disguise an authoritarian agenda of seizing power at all costs and perpetuating economic inequality. The usual tricks of pandering to the vague notion of national sovereignty and popular fears of neocolonialism, antiquated and tasteless as the may be, did [...]

Why Civil Disobedience will save Zimbabwe, Africa and the US
“The citizen can bring our political and governmental institutions back to life, make them responsive and accountable, and keep them honest. No one else can”, asserted John Gardner. I might as well add, if you think civil disobedience does not work, try a dictatorship.
Throughout human history, civil disobedience, has played a critical role in [...]

Indictment of Thabo Mbeki , the man Zimbabwe and Africa will not miss.
Indictment of Thabo Mbeki , the man Zimbabwe and Africa will not miss.
With a legacy of a presidency replete with episodes of controversy, sometimes utter buffoonery and lunacy, Thabo Mbeki’s collapse is well merited. From his irritating brotherly solidarity with dictators of Zimbabwe and Sudan to deliberately misunderstanding Aids and HIV given its trail of [...]
