IN Africa

I was saddened yesterday when viewing issues on Africa issued by BBC news that we do not have any real stories of Hope left on the continent. Gone are the days when we had leaders like Mandela issuing any proclamations for us the youth to follow. I was amazed by comments that Zambia and Malaysia attained independence at the same time but who is more developed now? why? Just a question?

I am back. In recent days I have been wondering what the core of my identity is. To this end, I believe I am most creating. Not creating in the sense of the great writers such as Shakespeare or our very own Shimmer Chinodya, but in the sense of the entrepreneurial minds that driven capitalism since the early man found barter trade is a means of getting what you need and could not attain. So the focus going forward is to provide an "African" view of what participation in capitalism. I say "African" because there cannot be an African view since we constitute nearly 1 billion views feelings etc. Heck, we cannot constitute a "Zimbabwean" view. That is why this is my view. To the item at hand. I came from Zimbabwe the other day only to be saddened by what I see as the stalled Zimbabwean rebirth. Since 2008 and the height of the Zimbabwe Hyperinflation, I was naive enough to think by removing monetary authority from our government, who had clearly failed...

When rock Bottom has a basement- A call for monetary reform

Welcome to Zimbabwe ! Where we as a people have since 1955 (then we were called Rhodesia) argued verbose arguments based on ideology (race, tribe, economic system etc) that at its core keeps a certain class of people subjugated with another rich and powerful. these arguments often ignore reality on the ground. Often those in power are shook by this reality that often has far-reaching, earth-shattering consequences. We as a nation have seen reality take control every 25 or so years and really shake these dogmatic ideologies. The first was the racist Rhodesian government's ideology of white minority rule, or "Apartheid lite". The government of the day engaged in inward looking state-oriented economy that was built largely to meet the aspirations of the white minority. Our parents and those that came before them only gained value through serving these aspirations as labour (skilled or otherwise). 20 years of sanctions, civil disobedience and finally armed resistance led the ...

weakening of the economies in SADC

Hi out there. I have been a little predisposed to trying to force my little business survive in what is an increasingly hostile business environment. The hostility has largely been driven by weakening economies across the SADC region. it is estimated that a number of economies will produce less than impressive GDP results this year. Zimbabwe will probably do the worst with our GDP expected to end the year at 29 billion from 31 billion in 2018 (* source Tradingeconomics.com). Looking at the indicators across the region, all is not well. In Zimbabwe what is obvious is the ones who are running the show have returned to money printing which is running at odds with the tight fiscal policy that has been alluded to by our minister of finance in his transitional stabilization programme. In actual fact the resolve of the government has been found wanting as they have seen overtures rebuffed in their diplomatic engagement drive. The leadership in Zimbabwe has largely spurned the goo...
