Walking along a dusty and rainfall-damaged gravel road which has not been attended to for nearly two decades deep in Chikomba District, Mbuya Mhizha makes her way to Gokomere Clinic to have her troublesome tooth attended to. There are no lifts on the road as the owners are worried about damages to their vehicles therefore she has to walk in the blistering October sun. She passes near Nyahoni Irrigation Scheme where virtually nothing is taking place. This irrigation scheme used to be the pride of Njanja where wheat and maize among other crops were grown in winter drawing water from Nyahoni river. On reaching the clinic Mbuya Mhizha is informed that there is no medication to give her to relieve the pain.

MDC’s political history since its formation in 1999 has been characterised by monumental failure from demonstrations, Presidential election and service delivery in urban councils just to mention a few.

Zimbabwe once again this September 2019 has an opportunity to express its self to call for the removal of unjust sanctions imposed on it by the West. This is coming at a time when SADC and AU have joined hands in calling for the removal of sanctions and its member states are surely to raise the issue at United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Sanctions continue to be detrimental to economic development as they are a weapon of war being used against the nation and its populace.

...stinks of Uncle Sam’s scent and his regime change runner boys

A fortnight ago, no one knew who Dr Peter Magombeyi was. All of a sudden, an elderly sick gogo in Chendambuya or a sick young boy in Chireya Gokwe, now does know him. Get me right; not for the good reasons at all.

Sanctions generally entail restrictions on international trade and finance that one country imposes on another for political reasons.
