ED, Chamisa talks collapse

Zimbabwe is at a crossroads where critical and cruel decisions are being made in the corridors of power. These decisions will determine the country’s direction for many years to come.

Under fire opposition leader Nelson Chamisa has hit back at former ally, Chalton Hwende, insinuating the Kuwadzana East MP was drunk when he accused him of accepting bribes from Zanu PF to ignore attempts by President Emmerson Mnangagwa to extend his term in office from 2028 to 2030.

Zimbabwe’s modern political history is often narrated through elections, constitutional changes, economic collapse, land reform, sanctions, liberation-war heroism, tribalism, authoritarian rule and the emerging culture of a cargo cult.

Zimbabwe’s opposition democratic struggle today is defined less by institutions than by the illusion of opposition, a spectacle choreographed around the charisma of Nelson Chamisa.

HARARE - The Government of Zimbabwe has abandoned negotiations for a proposed US$350 million health funding agreement with the Donald Trump administration after Emmerson Mnangagwa directed officials to halt discussions, arguing that national sovereignty outweighed the potential benefits of the deal despite mounting challenges in the country’s health sector.
