Despite concerted efforts by the Southern African Development Community (SADC) member states calls for the removal of illegal sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe by the United States and her allies, the Donald Trump administration has once again extended the heinous embargo by another year, thus putting a dent on the spirit of re-engagement.

As the world celebrates International Women’s Day on 8 March 2019, it is imperative to note that the Government of Zimbabwe has been playing a critical role in empowering its women from all the different sectors of the economy.

America has imposed a new set of sanctions that must run for the next 12 months against Zimbabwe. This is not new. America has been doing this for the past 18 years since Zimbabwe took the bold but lonely path to reclaim its land. It didn’t end there. It went on to stamp a firmer grip on its natural resources, especially in the extractive sector.

In Zimbabwe, gradually, almost unnoticeably, over the past year or so, there has been a steady rise in fake news and alarmist stories intended to soil President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Government. The President has been blamed and accused of all sorts of evil, including Gukurahundi, without plausible evidence being put forward to support the accusations. Conveniently for the regime change agenda proponents, sporadic protests and industrial action have manifested as a result of biting economic conditions. The tempo was increased with deliberate provocation of law enforcement agents so as to get basis for allegations of brutality and human rights abuse.

Zimbabwe joins the rest of the world in celebrating International Women’s month that falls in March. This year the celebrations are running under the theme, #BalanceforBetter. International Women’s Day is held to celebrate women’s achievements throughout history and across nations.

In everyday life when the going gets tough or unbearable and when everything seems to have ground to a halt, people tend to turn to social scientists in the form of witchdoctors, spirit mediums, prophets and fetish prophets for solutions and spiritual guidance. This also takes place in political circles. Zimbabwe has had its fair share of these ambitious politicians who wish to occupy the number one post in the land. The field of 23 candidates for the 30 July 2018 presidential elections candidates is testament to this.

The split prone MDC faces arguably its strongest test post-Tsvangirai era, when that party commences its elective congress from 24 May 2019 to 26 May 2019.

The MDC Alliance elective congress has been pencilled for 24 to 26 May after many months of wishing it away to buy time on the part of that party’s leader, Nelson Chamisa.

After months of confusion, hackling and basically not seeing any direction, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) has finally announced dates for their much awaited Elective Congress; the deed will be undertaken from 24 to 26 May 2019. When it is all said and done the party will have a substantive, elected and legitimate leader to carry the party to the 2023 national election.
