To prevaricate is “to avoid giving a direct and honest answer or opinion,or a clear and truthful account of a situation, especially by quibbling or being deliberately ambiguous or misleading”.
For readers of my contributions, that I am sympathetic to the cause of the MDC is well known. That sympathy is of course born out of [...]
I know little of the thought process that drives Zanu PF but someone needs to tell them for their own sake that they are now taking things too far. First they loose an election, then, once they had persuaded regional leaders to let them have another go, they run a campaign and is so distorted [...]
