I have often blogged about patriotism because I believe Zimbos are the most patriotic on earth and this is no exaggeration (or in reference to the #MillionManMarch). The numerous friends I follow on social media who are scattered along the four corners of the world, are all forever talking about the ‘developments’ back home, their […]
Read more "Zimbos in the UK and the EU Referendum"Targeted Measures “The United States has said it will only lift sanctions on Zimbabwe if there are further political reforms, following disputed elections in July” says the news the other day. The first question that springs to mind is, ‘Who are these sanctions really serving?’ The United States Embassy in Harare states in their document: U.S. […]
Read more "Is it time to give up?"Marketing is my passion. It’s what I wake up to do every morning. What’s there to love, you might ask? – Creating, communicating, delivering & exchanging offerings. Creating value by stimulating demand where it does not exist, facilitating and fulfilling it where it does exist. I also thoroughly enjoy obliterating competition in both my personal and professional […]
Read more "Marketing simplified"Politicians and civil society in Zimbabwe have recently gone into overdrive encouraging people to register and vote in the next parliamentary and presidential elections. Am I going to vote in this upcoming plebiscite? I don’t know! Why should I? It’s not like my vote has ever changed things before. If anything, I have found my situation […]
Read more "Hoping against hope?"This 4th and final Chimurenga is pretty exciting to me in that ‘we’ now own all these resources, albeit obtained forcefully, that the previous owners would have never given ‘back’ to us willingly in a thousand years. Others might accuse me of trying to be ‘wise in retrospect’ as I was never for this initiative […]
Read more "Welcome to Mbare"I don’t dislike politicians, I elected them into those positions during the last ‘free & fair’ elections so that they may represent my interests in decision making processes in the famed August house. It is when they put forward preposterous ‘ideas’ on my behalf, that are not only at variance with what I mandated them […]
Read more "Enemies of Reason"More often than not, the urge arises to digress to try and find a semblance of understanding as to how we found ourselves in so much mud as a nation. They say we study the past so as to avoid its mistakes in our quest to create a better future, but having spent a month […]
Read more "December in Zimbabwe"Now and then I like to stir things up a bit and delve into slightly touchy subjects. I could think of nothing bigger at the moment than the conviction and sentencing of one Dr. Conrad Murray for causing the death of the King of Pop. Michael Jackson (MJ) was talent personified, he was a perfomer […]
Read more "Michael Jackson & The Paradox of the Villainous Victim"Donning my hat as a self proclaimed social commentator, so many things came to mind when I stumbled upon this old video below. The views expressed therein are so poignant in the effort to explain how we got to the position where we are today. For me it has been such an eye opener as, through […]
Read more "History teaches everything including the future"“Hold on a second sekuru”, said the smartly dressed lady laying her mobile phone on the counter, “eh you Sir, move away a bit, can you not see I am on the phone?” This seems a perfectly normal conversation, only that the lady in question was a bank teller with a bank in Harare’s First […]
