This man is just disrespectful to General Chiwenga,look as much as he is entitled to his opinion he seems to continously belittle the General publicly and in my view this is not right in so many ways. ED should not allow this kind of behaviour, has he suddenly forgotten how the same thing was happening to him when he was being attacked before November 2017? Political fights are very common but for a party Spokesman to directly say what Mutsvangwa is saying is just wrong,they should have finished their issues in the Politburo.

Hate him or love him, President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa is undeniably one of Zimbabwe’s sharpest political minds,a man who understands timing, silence, and strategy better than most. I might not be a fan of his leadership style or governance, but politically speaking, the way he outmaneuvered Robert Mugabe, the man who ruled Zimbabwe for nearly four decades, was nothing short of legendary. While it’s true that Mugabe was aging and perhaps losing his political edge, Mnangagwa’s patience and discipline stood out. Even when subjected to repeated humiliation by the former First Lady, Grace Mugabe, he maintained composure and restraint. His calmness was not weakness, it was calculated patience. He played the loyal servant while quietly studying the battlefield, waiting for the right moment to strike. What makes his strategy even more remarkable is that Mnangagwa understood the importance of timing in Zimbabwean politics. He knew when not to move. For instance, he deliberately distanced himself from earlier succession plots such as the Tsholotsho Declaration and even meetings allegedly held at Philip Chiyangwa’s offices, which were meant to position him for the presidency. Mnangagwa avoided attending these gatherings because he understood the political temperature of the time,that Zimbabwe was not yet ready for such a takeover and that any premature move would destroy him. Those who remember his interactions with Grace Mugabe will recall how he played the part of a humble subordinate, even flattering her publicly, making it seem as though she was the real power behind Mugabe. It was pure political theatre , an act designed to protect his position until the moment was right. When the inevitable showdown came in late 2017, Mnangagwa appeared to be finished,fired as Vice President, in exile, and seemingly defeated. But true to his “Ngwena” (Crocodile) nickname, he had simply submerged, waiting for the current to shift. And when it did, he struck. Within weeks, Mugabe was out, and Mnangagwa returned as President the architect of one of Zimbabwe’s most dramatic political transitions. Today, whether one admires or despises him, one fact remains undisputed, Emmerson Mnangagwa is a master of the long game. He waited, he calculated, and when the time was right he took everything.

I am watching the new Netflix series Roger D. Parish and I was honestly surprised, in a good way at first, to hear Zimbabwe being mentioned right from the very first episode the Zimbabwean Flag features too. Even more interesting was the inclusion of Shona lines. As a Zimbabwean, moments like that usually bring a sense of pride because it feels like a small part of our culture is being recognised on a global platform. I couldn’t help but feel a bit conflicted about how the Shona language was portrayed. The way the lines were delivered sounded unnatural, almost mechanical. It did not feel like real, lived in Shona the way native speakers talk every day. Instead, it came across as forced and slightly exaggerated, which took away from what could have been a really powerful and authentic moment. What confused me most is that there are actual Zimbabwean actors and actresses based in the United States who speak fluent, natural Shona and understand the cultural depth behind the language. It would have made so much sense to involve them or at least consult native speakers to make those scenes feel real. When language is done properly, it adds texture and authenticity to a story. When it is not it can feel like a missed opportunity. That said, I still think Parish is a good series overall. The storyline is engaging and the production quality is strong. But I genuinely believe that Africa’s languages and cultures deserve better representation. If you are going to include Shona, it should sound like Shona as it is spoken by real people, not like robots reading words off a script. I hope that as more global platforms continue to tell diverse stories, they will also learn to do it with deeper respect and cultural accuracy.

My brother Cde Taurai Kandishaya remarkably distinguished himself from the majority of ZANU PF leaders through an act of profound statesmanship and political maturity. By availing himself at the book launch of my other brother, the esteemed opposition figure HON Job Wiwa Sikhala , Cde Kandishaya has demonstrated a level of tolerance, magnanimity, and intellectual sophistication that is regrettably rare in the prevailing Zimbabwean political landscape. In a nation where the chasm between the ruling ZANU PF party and the opposition has, for decades, been characterised by hostility, suspicion, and polarisation, Cde Kandishaya’s courageous gesture transcends partisan boundaries. His presence alone was a powerful statement in favour of dialogue, mutual respect, and the free exchange of ideas virtues essential for any progressive democracy. Cde did not merely attend as a passive observer, he went a step further to publicly purchase Wiwa’s book for an astounding sum of USD 750. This singular act was not only symbolic but also a profound demonstration of solidarity with the principles of intellectual freedom, irrespective of ideological differences. Cde Kandishaya’s actions epitomise the calibre of leadership Zimbabwe so desperately needs one that prioritises nation building over petty partisanship and one that recognises that intellectual discourse should never be constrained by political affiliations. He has in this singular moment, outclassed many within his own party or in the opposition setting an exemplary precedent for others who profess to serve the interests of the people.

This skit raises a question I have often pondered. If Mbuya Nehanda lived in Mazowe, how is it that her source of drinking water is said to have been in Harare, where her statue now stands? It just doesn’t quite add up. Are we possibly being told embellished or reconstructed stories? Because unless Mbuya Nehanda actually lived somewhere like the Avenues area in Harare, this “drinking water from the Harare site” narrative would be hard to justify. It’s worth thinking about how much of our history is rooted in fact and how much might be romanticised for symbolism or political convenience.
