Opinion

Sibanengi Ncube - The people of Zimbabwe, through electing Members of Parliament of their choice, wield the power to retire some of the dead wood that has been dominating our body politic since 1980.

Tafi Mhaka - Zimbabwe has been slowly ruined by the toxic and infectious mishaps perpetrated by overly educated civil servants who boast pumpkin pudding-like PhDs, which clearly, remain good for nothing.

Tinyiko Maluleke - The mocking laughter has returned, louder and bolder. It is no longer Dead Man’s Creek alone that is laughing. Villagers in the backyards of China are laughing at, and joking about, Africa. The entire world is in stitches over our fantastic ability to wound ourselves.

Nixon Nembaware - "Enter the handsome Nkosana Moyo! He is rightly named ‘Nkosana’ which literary means the ‘prince’ but will the Prince be heir to the throne one of these fine coming days.  Will his fatherly looks, confident gaze and an assuring face bordered by tints of grey hair be useful in his bid for the post? Like it or not, call it trivia or dismiss it as stuff for some Hollywood gossip tabloid, Nkosana’s looks will be a factor in the 2023 elections."

Zimbabwe is on the verge of another hotly contested election, where the mood is heating up and the 93-year-old-incumbent was on medical holiday, the one of many of his frequent medical vacations. This election is unique from previous contests, as the political arena has widened.
