President Mugabe resigns
After nearly four decades in power, a life time for most people, the president of the former Jewel of Africa finally called it quits on the 21st of November while his impeachment had just begun. The 93 year old, former president of Zimbabwe has been the only president Zimbabwe precolonial Zimbabwe.
Having protests country wide as from last week, a lot will argue the real independence of Zimbabwe is on the 18th of November, this being the day people rose up against the indifference and carelessness, marching together as one having directly laughed in the face of tribalism which was perpetuated since Mugabe came into power.
It is no secret that former president Mugabe did not act in the best interest of the Zimbabwean people, this being the match which sparked economic sanctions to be imposed on the former bread basket of Africa. To no surprise these sanctions known as ZIDERA have been the reason for the turmoil and suffering in Zimbabwe. They have turned recessions to economic depressions to deadly inflation twice in less than ten years a new record in the world, while running away from the honest truth that the river of corruption had turned into a swamp in which all his cabinet members drunk from.
Amid the cynicism and skepticism we do have to acknowledge that at first Bob did try to make Zimbabwe a better place, Julius Malema the South African politician once said he admired former president Mugabe for his land reform as Zimbabwe was one of the few if not the only country which its people had the right to land. Bearing this in mind he also did facilitate the building of a lot of schools and hospitals, Zimbabwe having one of the highest literacy rates in Africa, exporting the finest doctors and engineers.
It could be that Zimbabweans did not liberate themselves from the liberators, fought white domination but forgot black domination as opposed to Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela who fought both, making the neighboring country of South Africa be the center of Africa, this possibly being the reason as to why former president Mugabe maintained a vice like grip on the bleeding nation.
Inextricable times are now a thing of the past for the Zimbabweans but lest they not forget they still need a president, the biggest problem being all the candidates used to play with the 93 year old dictator but still, one step at a time, and Zimbabwe can only hope for a more perfect union

Elections Game Plan

By HDN

As a Zimbabwean, I have gotten used to our President doing cabinet reshuffle which is always characterized by the same old faces changing posts and the country is put again into the hands of those who have failed it. However, this recent cabinet reshuffle has really got my attention and NO it’s not because of the new ministry of Cyber Security, Threat detection and Mitigation but of some appointments which represent the ZANU PF Elections end game.

Where do I start….

Ministry of Justice, legal and Parliamentary affairs, a portfolio which has been under VP ED Mnangagwa for years has been handed over to Major General (rtd) H.M. Bonyongwe the former Central Intelligence organization (CIO) boss, known on the streets as C10s. An organization who have driven fear into the lives of ordinary Zimbabweans and are alleged to have caused deaths and disappearance to those who opposed the current regime. With a controversial Attorney General under his ministry and with the President having been given the power to appoint the Chief justice, our Justice system pre-and post-elections is pivotal for the ruling party in effecting gross human rights abuses and getting away with it at the courts as they did with the land reform having put through a new chief justice who over-turned all rulings in favor of the white farmers. Is it still safe to call it Ministry of Justice?

Ministry of Home affairs, this portfolio is now under the hands of the one and only Obert Mpofu, who never answered to the questions of the missing $15bn when he was Minister of Mines....
