No to fake news! There are NO NEW SANCTIONS

Chamisa can't read polls; how do you expect him to run a country

Nelson Chamisa is not stupid.  In fact, he is a very intelligent young man.  So when I say he can't read polls, I think what I mean is that he won't read the polls. Every poll that has been conducted so far shows that he is …

Beggars should still be choosers: Chamisa's wicked deal with the Mugabe devil

Chamisa should check his ego for the sake of Zimbabwe's future

The Book of James says "God opposes the proud but shows favour to the humble."Perhaps Pastor Nelson Chamisa would do well to reread his Bible every now and again, because it is replete with opposition to those with too much pride and ego.H…

Does the Chamisa-led MDC pass the fitness for governance test?
