Chamisa is a very bad and poor chip off the Tsvangirai block

Mario Vargas Llosa, the world-famed Peruvian writer, penned a small, but sweet collection of incisive essays titled "A Writer's Reality." My favourite from that collection is "Novels Disguised". Its appeal lies in my unrealised and unfulfi…

Simba Makoni, Nkosana Moyo emerged from defeat far, far better than Chamisa

I HOPE Chamisa's simmering and smarting hordes are now settled, after what by now should be a long enough cooling period. He is himself showing signs of recovering from zealous political Pentecostalism, which is why he is now asking for au…

Chamisa is not a factor in parliament, which is good

Since there are so many impious hands on Zimbabwe's internal affairs, so many hands challenging its sovereignty, I thought my opening paragraphs should address those meddlesome, self-righteous foreigners who think Zimbabwe incurably remain…

Chamisa to be arrested after elections?

Judging by on-line reaction, this column has only a handful of readers, but millions of critics! Which is what makes writing it worth every of my while. Week in, week out, you get fiery feedback from persons who, having been upset by its p…

Panicky Chamisa beginning to sound like Tsvangirai

Hey hoo, the Zimbabwe Defence Forces have a new quartermaster! One who knows it all, and manages the national armoury from far-away Kenya. Maybe these are the wonders of a twitter epoch: you know it all, write it all, comment on all, and s…

Chamisa opts to Jameson Timba as his election agent

What an incongruous title to use in describing politics of the Savannah! Yet such is the beauty of communication: yoking together things that are violently dissimilar, all to drive home a key point. And what a time to re-connect! You barel…

Grand National Unity?

"The turbulence in India this time hasn't come from foreign invasion or conquest; it has been generated from within. India cannot respond in her old way, by a further retreat into archaism. Her borrowed institutions have worked like borrow…

Chamisa flying on broken wings

Following the passing on of Tsvangirai, the late leader of a faction of the MDC, I had an animated discussion with some opposition figure whose identity I shall not disclose. Congenitally boisterous and energetic, this talkative politician…

Jonathan Moyo's false hope from Malaysia

I have just been reading Deluze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia. It's a big book, one quite opaque and thus requiring stout intellect and a liberal outlook to digest it.But a great read once the two authors let yo…

Nathaniel Manheru resurfaces as Igomombe?

DEAR reader, we regaled each other leisurely under the eaves last week. But it can't be play, play, play forever. We have to get down to the business of interpreting our times, what with so much happening, and even so much more awaited. So…
