Zimmetro — I started a thought-provoking discussion on the SME BusinessLink Community website (http://smebusinesslink.com) last week. The topic was: “Why indigenous Zimbabwean youths cannot build really successful and sustainable businesses.” everyone is free to add their comments to the discussion.
Zimmetro — The apparent agreement between Robert Mugabe and Morgan Tsvangirai that elections must be held soon because the inclusive government has failed was a foolish decision by the Prime Minister, an opposition party leader who, like the other MDC faction leader Prof Welshman Ncube, is effectively under siege.
Zimmetro — The recent ban on the importation of second-hand underwear in Zimbabwe was met with mixed reactions from various segments of society. Some thought it was the best action ever taken by the inclusive government so far, as they found used underwear to be dehumanizing and unhygienic. Informal traders were outraged by the ban saying the move puts their businesses and livelihoods at risk.
Zimmetro — Recently, the nation awoke to the news that one of the resolutions made at a political party’s conference was to reintroduce the Zimdollar. Most Zimbabweans were shocked by the news as nasty memories of the Zimdollar were still fresh in their minds. There could be several reasons why Zanu PF is making such a strange resolution with the blessing of “your” governor, Gideon Gono.
Zimmetro — Few would dispute the view that 2012 has the potential to be a watershed year for Zimbabwe. The waning health of “our dear leader” puts a deadline on events as he holds onto power and influence and does not allow his own Party to renew its leadership and policies. History speaks into such situations and records that political Parties who fail to face change, eventually die with their leaders.
Zimmetro — PM should not have succumbed to media pressure concerning his marriage. This is not unique as it is incumbent in any political arena for this to take place. The PM is of great interest to the media fraternity as his life is in the public domain. More so his life and his daily activities is/are o of great public interest by virtue of his capacity
Zimmetro — Honourable Prime Minister, who you date or marry, must be your private affair— regrettably, this is not the case; you are a public figure and nothing you do is private anymore. Less than a week after your marriage or purported marriage to Locadia Karimatsenga Tembo, so much has already been written and said about it. The reasons for the furore are clear: First, Locadia’s sister
Zimmetro — The President shall cease to hold office if a report of the Senate and the House of Assembly, appointed by the Speaker in consultation with the president of the Senate upon the request of not fewer than one-third of the members of House of Assembly, has recommended the removal of the President on the ground—that he is incapable of performing the functions of his office by reason of physical or mental incapacity; or Ladies and gentlemen, the onus is on you to take the initiative
Zimmetro — In 1995 Robert Mugabe hit the headlines when he said gay people “behave worse than dogs and pigs”. That same year he used a speech during a national holiday to proclaim: “If you see people parading themselves as lesbians and gays, arrest them and hand them over to the police” writes Lance Gama for SW Radio Africa.
Zimmetro — In the famous work, A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right (1844), Karl Marx wrote that “religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness.”
