In many parts of the world, Easter and national independence holidays sit on different ends of the cultural calendar. One is rooted in the Christian tradition, commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The other is a civic celebration, marking the hard-won freedom of a nation. At first glance, they may seem unrelated –one spiritual, the other political. But a closer look reveals a profound connection: both public holidays honour lives laid down for the sake of others. Both point us to the enduring power of sacrifice.

In the heart of Mberengwa, Masase High School has long been a source of pride for its community a place where young people could pursue their dreams through education and dedicated mentorship. It is a school that many families trusted, believing their children were safe within its walls. However, recent allegations against the deputy headmaster, Anywhere Gumbo have cast a dark shadow over that trust. He stands accused of having abused more than 35 boys, allegedly under the guise of offering academic assistance. These reports are deeply distressing and point to the urgent need for stronger protective mechanisms in our schools.

The much-hyped 31 March 2025 protests against President Emmerson Mnangagwa are bound to fail. These demonstrations lack substance, credibility, and genuine support, making them nothing more than a misguided attempt to stir up unrest. The protest has no real backing from the people of Zimbabwe. The majority of citizens are not interested in engaging in actions that could lead to instability, especially when the so-called movement is being driven by unknown figures with no credibility or clear agenda. Zimbabweans understand the risks associated with such futile demonstrations and are unlikely to participate in an event that serves no real purpose.

In Zimbabwean politics, credibility often finds itself sacrificed on the altar of desperate ambition. Luke Tamborinyoka, once respected as the original spokesperson for the MDC, has sadly joined the ranks of those willing to distort facts for political gain. His recent narrative, claiming threats and harassment from the State and President Mnangagwa's administration, deserves critical scrutiny—not sympathy.

The recent commissioning of the US$3.6 billion Palm River Energy Metallurgical project in Beitbridge by President Emmerson Mnangagwa marks another significant milestone in Zimbabwe’s industrialization agenda. Constructed by the Chinese firm Xinganglian, this project is a major boost to Zimbabwe’s energy and metallurgical sectors, further solidifying the country’s status as a prime investment destination. It is a strong testament to Zimbabwe’s ability to attract large-scale international partnerships and drive forward its economic development.

For centuries, Africa’s land and resources have been exploited by colonial powers, who carved up the continent, claiming its wealth as their own. This history of theft, dispossession, and exploitation has left deep scars, with many African nations still battling to reclaim what is rightfully theirs. FromCape to Cairo, African nations are engaged in a courageous and necessary fight to regain control of their land. The land reform programs are not simply policies; they are patriotic acts of defiance against historical injustices. African land belongs to Africans, and we should not apologise for reclaiming what was taken from us.

Zimbabwe is witnessing a transformative era, marked by innovative solutions aimed at overcoming longstanding challenges in healthcare and infrastructure. Two notable initiatives are the deployment of Solar Direct Drive (SDD) refrigerators in remote areas and the comprehensive Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme Phase 2 (ERRP2), which exemplify the nation’s commitment to sustainable development and improved public welfare.

The executive orders recently signed by both outgoing President Joe Biden and freshly inaugurated Donald Trump have raised significant ethical and constitutional concerns, with actions that seem to undermine the very principles they claim to uphold. When scrutinised under the lens of fairness and justice, particularly in comparison with policies often criticised in countries like Zimbabwe, these orders highlight glaring contradictions in the US’ much vaunted democracy. In both cases, the actions of these leaders appear to prioritise political advantage over the rule of law, personal accountability, and the moral duty to uphold justice for all citizens.

This year, Zimbabwe stands at a critical juncture in its journey towards prosperity. For too long, the country has dealt with sanctions-induced hardships and a plethora of social challenges. However, this year presents a unique opportunity for Zimbabweans to take control of their destiny. The path to national development is not one that can be solely paved by Government policies or foreign aid—it requires the collective effort of everycitizen. Zimbabweans, regardless of background, must rise above adversity and dedicate themselves to hard work which isnecessary to move the country forward. Zimbabweans are urged to embrace a mindset of hard work towards national development in 2025.
