The Youth Inspirator

The recent dilemma visibly shown by the MDC-T during the election period to date has abridged its value among its supporters, who has failed to comprehend the decision making process. She have failed to stand firm for a decision she would have made notably since the COPAC process. Prior elections, the party had shown her followers that she is indecisive as she had hinted that she will not take part in any elections till reforms set in GPA were fully implemented. Surprisingly this call came late after hints that elections were coming on the 31st of August 2013, after wasting 4 years enjoy whims facilitated by their baby national duties. The shocker came as they conducted their primary elections before ZANUPF, in a bid to prove they were ready for elections compared to ZANUPF that looked visibly unorganized to observers terms and not theirs. The contrast came when they held primary elections but rushed to SADC to have the date postponed by a month. SADC then raised their hopes ...

Academic education becomes compromised when the most learned man fails to understand the basic principles of democracy. Whilst Professor Ncube has let his personal feelings towards Tsvangirai compromise his judgement on the credentials to be Zimbabwe`s president. “MDC-T leader Mr Morgan Tsvangirai is not fit to lead Zimbabwe because he does not possess the requisite qualities for President”, MDC leader Professor Welshman Ncube has said in the Herald Newspaper. Am not sure if this judgement comes after MDC-Ts 30 000 star Rally that bemoans the Freedom House findings as just but a mere farce to the people of Zimbabwe towards MDC-T as compared to their Insiza Rally that was shamelessly attended.  It’s a shame that the so much learned man has humiliated himself using the state media to De-campaign Tsvangirai rather than raise himself and his party up.   Democracy being a decision by the people for the people should have simply told his ignorant instincts that that decisio...

SWAZI IDENTITY Scylla and Charybdis were mythical sea monsters. Later Greek tradition sited them on opposite sides of the Strait of Messina between Sicily and the Italian mainland. Scylla was rationalized as a rock shoal (described as a six-headed sea monster) on the Italian side of the strait and Charybdis was a whirlpool off the coast of Sicily. They were regarded as a sea hazard located close enough to each other that they posed an inescapable threat to passing sailors; avoiding Charybdis meant passing too close to Scylla and vice versa. This is a perfect metaphor for the people of Swaziland whether to participate or boycott in the impending Elections.   The two have their now implications that might or not deliver an open monarchail society from the Tinkhundla authoritarian system. Whilst the argument pro-boycotting is prominent, this writer notes it as participation. The paper seeks to unveil boycotting and voting implications for the Swazis. Boycotting in it...

Advocacy is driven by numbers, but numbers with no action wont fuel change. Youths of Zimbabwe are in this predicament policy wise. Superficially peeking at the Zimbabwean political, economical and social fronts youths are just but silent and powerless partners in the whole Zimbabwean discourse. However, 2013 seems to over a better franchisement of the especially political arena.  Demographically youths enjoys 67% of the population, but were never taken seriously upon issues that affect them. The sudden rise of youth organisations, association was a major break through of the voices of youths.   The rise of the Zimbabwe Youth Council is just but a sign of the rising youth generation, in dying need to take charge of the development agenda of Zimbabwe. Dramatic change has found ground in political parties as youths were the most dormant members. Today its different ZANU PF notes that it has registered about a million new voters. The MDC-T running a campaig...

The zimbabwean civic and political landscape suffers an illiterate electorate that is ignorant to polictical developments making it difficult to cast into the future of the electoral escapede. Yes, most of the Zimbaweans are not educated civically as they are skewed to academic education. The greater populace, which is formed by young people is has limited education on civics. The Zimbabwean government adopted the colonial regime education system that focuses more on academics and never on civics. the dictatorial regime of the British propelled this simply as a way of not allowing access to knowledge, later formulate into demads of equality, accountability, transparency and other principles of good governance. Access to such knowledge instilled reason and forced a revolutionary agenda. However, the revolutionary agenda was motioned and moved by those few blacks that had accessed civic educaion through academic means. It will be unjust not to mention that the majority were not educa...

We have seen wildlife and vegetation under the scope of scientist labelled as endangered and suffering extinction. The scenario brings tears to the current generation for the future as they will not see these species that have lived on earth. Everyone wishes if they had seen the dinosaurs but the generation then did not care. Today we protect even dangerous and poisons species of plant and animals to save them from extinction.   The same predicament is looming Zimbabwe`s political sphere, where voting will die with the revolutionary generation. The voting trend in Zimbabwe has gradually dropped and took a nose dive in 2008 harmonised election. Revolutionary folks have given this disaster a blind eye. Of interest is the probable situation looming Zimbabwe`s political future where 67% of the youths who could participated in the 2008 harmonised election but only 18% of the 67% voted. This leaves a lot to be desired when this generation becomes the elders of Zimbabwe. Wh...
