The sporadic xenophobic attacks that have recently been taking place in South Africa are not only despicable and barbaric but extremely sad, considering that the attacks are from one black brother to another. More so, these attacks are not for the first time and the South African government seems to have no solution in sight.

It only takes a fool to fail to comprehend the destruction that results from violence. Some have a tendency of thinking that their failures in life were spearheaded by others not knowing that one needs to work extra hard to get what one wants. Sweat pays. A situation happening in our neighbouring country where the South Africans have engaged in xenophobia attacks on citizens of other African countries is a cause for concern.

Zimbabwe continues its engagement and re-engagement process with members of progressive regional and international communities who are willing to give the Second Republic an opportunity to pursue a developmental agenda as opposed to those nations that are pushing for regime change with the co-operation of the opposition.

The concept of patriotism in Zimbabwe is under threat from politics of grandstanding and intolerance which seems to be dividing citizens and even causing a loss of identity for some.

Zimbabwe has seen a new government work ethic since 2017. Most visible is the fight against public sector corruption. Public sector corruption had reached endemic proportions and with impunity. Zimbabwe had not known the arrest of any sitting government minister until Priscah Mupfumira. Allegations of top government office corruption had been spoken of in hushed voices, in fact it was taboo to speak ill of a corrupt government official without the risk of arrest or some unwanted action against such a speaker.

It is just one and a half years since Nelson Chamisa seized control of the MDC following his predecessor, the late Morgan Tsvangirai’s death on 14 February 2018. The guy is already showing signs of fatigue and frustration which is an indication of his lack of the necessary political mettle and grit to run an opposition party in a vibrant democracy such as Zimbabwe’s. He seems not to possess the necessary patience and stoicism to last the distance.

Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) Principal, now one of the Co- Vice Presidents, Tendai Biti, has on several times, been embroiled in controversies that have been working against Zimbabwe’s national interests in futile attempts to get into power through the back door.

The country is set to benefit close to US$174 Million in support from United Nations (UN) humanitarian partners owing to the impartial work by the outgoing UN Resident Coordinator to Zimbabwe, Bishow Parajuli. Parajuli’s commitment to his work during his tenure in the country as Resident Coordinator is commendable as he managed to display impartiality until the completion of his assignment.

Once upon a time, Felix Nhlanhlayemangwe Ndiweni controversially assumed the Ndiweni Chieftainship on 22 August 2014 following the death of his father, Chief Khayisa Ndiweni who had held the post for over five decades. His ascension to the throne was without controversy as his brother, Joram, filed a High Court application challenging his nomination for the Chieftainship on the grounds that Nguni customs, practices and norms recognise the eldest son as the heir to the throne. With the support of his mother, Agnes, and, as it is coming out now, G40 elements in ZANU PF then occupying influential positions in Government, Felix eventually triumphed over his brother. The new Chief spent over 28 years staying in the UK.
