The end of the 20th century came with global hopes for a new world order. In Information Technology  (IT), people fretted that computers would fail to understand the algorithims of the new century,which coincided with the arrival of the third millenium. The last quarter of the year 1999 was a busy lot,  computer abilities were the next most talked about topic after the death of Joshua Nkomo who had died the winter of the same year. The computer industry coined the term Y2K. Whatever its meaning, it referred to computers with the ability to read beyond 31 December 1999. Some screamed that all the computers were to be obsolete come new year's day. People expected dumpyards of computers to flood by the hour.

Renowned African-Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe is well known for his famous novel, A Man of the People, which mirrors Nigerian political culture through the eyes of a corrupt politician, Chief Nanga. Closely reading the book now, one can’t help but wonder if those negative depictions didn’t have an inverse intended impact on its recipients, giving birth to Zimbabwean politician, Saviour Kasukuwere, who has turned out to be a replica of Chief Nanga - a womanizer, corrupt, power hungry and nepotistic in nature. Nanga was also a violent fellow who terrorised his perceived political opponents, who only lost his parliamentary seat after the army intervened to stop his political madness.

Former Zanu PF members and Cabinet ministers, who fall under the G40 cabal, and went into self-imposed exile in neighbouring countries are living testimonies that all is not well outside their country of origin, as measures have been put to clip off their political wings as they are banned from participating in any form of political activities.
