Nelson Chamisa to give MDC A a new name as brand name MDC implodes. Ironically the MDC has transformed to be the most undemocratic and chaotic party in Zimbabwe. Dominated by greed corruption and gossip Chamisa is now struggling to hold the MDC together. It has taken Chamisa three years to destroy what Tsvangirai has built. Zimbabweans owe Tsvangirai some gratitude for supporting maintaining democracy by holding the MDC together and provide the nation with a solid opposition. The Tsvangirai Chete chete mantra has plunged the party in a big pool of destruction. The MDC will never remain the same MDC has shown us a vivid illustration of the unity of purpose that characterizes this party when it is at its worst. It was that unity of purpose that drove MDC leaders to be rumour monger

MDC Alliance Vice Chairman, Job Sikhala, has sensationally claimed that representatives from the Khupe led MDC-T approached him to become their President. Sikhala was responding to comments by MDC-T Spokesman, Khaliphani Phugeni, where he said Sikhala was not recalled because he agreed with the Supreme Court ruling that made Dr Thokozani Khuphe MDC-T Acting President. Sikhala wrote : *What has really Khalipani Phugeni said?* *By Hon Job Wiwa Sikhala* MDC Alliance National Vice Chairman and 31 July Movement Spokesperson. I was shocked when my sister Gladys Hlatshwayo phoned me when I was driving from the Parliament car park rushing to go and read in preparation of my final Master of Laws degree Exams coming next week about what Khalipani Phugeni is alleged to have said abo

As the clock ticks, ambitious politicians are intensifying their strategies as new entrants join the race for the top seat.

Mwonzora hinted that God was leading him in the journey to the top seat. He further told the people to
SOME MDC Alliance bigwigs are said to be making a determined push to have the coalition’s firebrand deputy national chairperson, Job “Wiwa” Sikhala, expelled for his radical political activities and dogged opposition to Zanu-PF and its government. The sources who spoke to the Daily News said senior Alliance officials had recently discussed Sikhala’s jettisoning in the party’s standing committee (SC) WhatsApp group of which the combative Zengeza West MP is a member. Contacted for comment, Sikhala would neither deny nor confirm the move to expel him saying if there were such moves he would respond to them after he had dealt with his current travails with authorities. All this comes as the government has come under intense local, regional and internation
A South African pressure group #NotInMyName will be staging a mass protest at the Zimbabwean Embassy in Pretoria in solidarity with suffering Zimbabweans on Friday. The march is being organised by famed South African activist Themba Masango. The much-hyped march follows a series of Tweets by South African eminent persons and celebrities who used #ZimbabweanLivesMatter hashtag to highlight the plight of Zimbabweans. Economic Freedom Fighters have called for the closure of the Zimbabwe Embassy until the government respects human rights.
ZIMBABWE NEEDS A FRESH START & A PEOPLE’S GOVERNMENT 1/Zimbabwe is sinking courtesy of bad policies & bad leadership.This is leading to abject poverty & untold suffering. Just imagine the Policy inconsistency, contradictions & reversals e.g termination of the multiple currency regime in favour of the local currency & later on return back to dollarization in less than a year. 2/Replacing of a fixed exchange rate with an interbank market rate & then going back to a fixed exchange rate &a month later disbandment of the fixed exchange rate regime with an auction system points to tragic policy reversals & policy contradictions just within a few months. 3/The approach in dealing with corruption is ample a demonstration of leadership i
The Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) led by Thokozani Khupe has recalled nine parliamentarians of the opposition MDC Alliance. This comes barely two weeks after High Court judge, Joseph Mafusire, made a provisional order stopping the Khupe MDC formation from refilling positions left vacant by the recalling of four legislators - Thabitha Khumalo, Lilian Timveous, Charlotte Hwende and Prosper Mutseyami - aligned to Nelson Chamisa’s MDC Allience. House of Assembly Speaker Jacob Mudenda announced Tuesday that the MDC-T has recalled Amos Chibaya, Happymore Chidziva, Nomathemba Ndlovu, Anna Muyambo, Francesca Ncube, Murisi Zwizwayi, Virginia Muradzikwa, Concilia Majaya and Mucharairwa Mugidho. The party’s presidential spokesperson, Khaliphani Pugeni, said the MDC-T will
THE Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) remains on high alert amid fears some Zimbabweans want to use the Covid-19 lockdown to cause political disturbances in the country, Police Commissioner General Godwin Matanga has said. Appearing before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Health and Child Care, Matanga said his officers were working under very unstable conditions as some unidentified elements were bent on taking advantage of the current Covid-19 lockdown operation to destabilise the country. “As your ZRP, we enforce the law, but we are not allowed to interpret it. At roadblocks we are operating under a very dangerous situation,” Matanga told parliamentarians. “The whole nation is looking at the Covid-19 pandemic operation yet there are elements within the coun
The most remarkable benefit of Zimbabwe liberation struggle is the disappearance of the institution of government. "Government," as we knew it at independence, does not exist anymore. As the war was raging, we were inundated with yearly labels like "Gore Remasimba eVanhu" idolized by Oliver Mutukudzi in a song. What we knew was a struggle that will guarantee us a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people." With that democratic requirement now a pipe dream in Zimbabwe, we were now expecting the government, especially the President, at a minimum, to care for and be responsive to the needs of the people, or at least to perform some basic services for the people. But even these minimal requirements are non-existent. Our government as an entit
