Tabani Moyo September 01, 2011 fist published by Kubatana.net  The dust of the government’s hollywood lifestyle is refusing to settle down. It cannot settle down especially when the people are living in such a sea of poverty. However, the development has shown beyond reasonable doubt that the MDCs are stuck in an omnibus syndrome to governance. The mimicry politics have taken over the voice of

 TABANI MOYO | HARARE - Jan 26 2011 17:13 The political dust of 2010 is refusing to settle down. It won’t settle any time soon if 2011 is to proceed the way the President of the Republic, Robert Mugabe, has started. He returned home from his annual sabbatical, this time he had taken a break in the Republic of Singapore. He returned on January

TABANI MOYO - Nov 21 2010 16:50  Permanent secretaries of media and information across the globe generally mislead. Zimbabwe’s Information and Publicity permanent secretary George Charamba is no exception. It’s a virtue which he has perfected over time. In his submissions to the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Media, Information and Communication

TABANI MOYO | HARARE - Nov 10 2010 20:22 There is a chilling debate which is going in circles in Zimbabwe on whether the country will be subjected to the next general election next year or not. President Robert Mugabe fired the first salvos when he made a public decree that the elections will be held early next year so that his party can kick the MDC out of government. He was responding to the

By Tabani Moyo Nhamo Mhiripiri, in his short story entitled No More Plastic Balls creatively narrates the pains of transformation from childhood to adulthood. He captures the growing pains of young boy ‘caged’ by the strict rules of his household – one day the boy broke the chains, tasted freedom and died with it.

The week gone by was characterised by heated accusations and counter accusations between Zanu PF and the Movement for Democratic Change on the dominance of ‘jingles’ or ‘songs’ in gleeful praise of Zanu PF as the dominant political party in the inclusive government specifically and in our body polity at large. The suffocating accusations however missed the point by shocking margins. The real

By Tabani Moyo Events of the past few weeks have shadowed the media reform discourse in a significant way. The long shadow cast on the topic seems to have been deliberate. The government of Zimbabwe is on a field day that the people of Zimbabwe are caught in the euphoria of the few papers licensed so far living the opening of the airwaves a wild guess. Aside from the licensing of the five (5)

By Tabani Moyo (main picture) It has been more than a year under the government of national unity. The performance to this end clearly speaks of a mission impossible in terms of reverting Zimbabwe back to a full democracy and improving a people’s lives. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the word transition as, “the process of changing from one state or condition to another.” The questions

The need for media reforms remains contested terrain in Zimbabwe more so in the context of the political contestations over the issue. The crisis facing the media reforms agenda is found in the Global Political Agreement (GPA) signed by the three political forces which constitute Zimbabwe’s inclusive government. Article 19 of the GPA states that the registration and re-registration of new and

By Tabani MoyoSome events are meant to define history! How else can one comprehend the new wave of divisions within civic organizations in light of the constitution making process? It is as if a cat has been thrown among the pigeons. Movements, covenants, value systems and gluing principles which maintained consensus for decades and eras, are now fractured and weaker than ever before.This can

Palookas have been cautious about the decision by feuding political protagonists ‘agreeing’ to forge a Government of National Unity (GNU) which came into force on the 11th of September 2008. From the onset, the devil’s advocates were insisting that the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) should not have signed the Global Political Agreement (GPA) without the resolving the contentious issues

What is wrong with Zimbabwe? Decades have gone by, philosophies and counter philosophies thrown to the fore and yet still the gears have been failing to engage. Probably the nation awaits a miracle to solve the Zimbabwean crisis, or maybe the power sharing government is that miracle itself!Events building up to the formation of the power sharing government brought about mixed responses from both
