We Shall Not Sleep
No-one is going to sleep a wink this year
till we fix this whole mess
No-one is going to close an eyelid
till we get to the bottom of this

A battle of stamina and strategy
Much criticism can be directed at the MDC(MT), MDC(AM) and Makoni camps for letting Zanu (PF) take a breathe and regroup. The fact that they have still not formed a coalition to resist Zanu (PF)’s determined attempts to steal the election is self-defeating. Read more from Brenda Burrell


With Constitutional amendment number 18, which synchronized the presidential term with the life of the last parliament, it means he (Mugabe) is only a caretaker President right now, with no mandate to make substantive decisions.

  • An Awkward Gait
  • Papa, Daddy, Uncle, Dear Old Man:
    what is it about dictators that we
    coddle them with terms of affection?
    The lion will slaughter, and even eat,
    cubs of his rivals. No subordinate
    stands in the way of the dominant
    white-browed sparrow weaver, the ballast
    of whose gonads gives him an awkward flight.
  • Why do we admire Generals, pity vendors?
    Why do we revere lions,
    laugh at hyaenas? What is it about the clenched fist,
    the conical tower, church
    steeples, pyramids, codpieces, that we
    adore? Now this Autocrat, the ballast
    of whose honorary doctorates gives
    him: Uncle, Dear Old Man: an awkward gait.
  • John Eppel, Zimbabwean poet
