Tsvangirai, responsibility is start of leadership
MORGAN Tsvangirai needs to decide between a scandalous personal life and serving the nation. And if he cannot make the choice, then Zimbabweans will do it for him. Everyone knows that the present situation is indefensible, he cannot do both. … Read more
Tsvangirai a poor substitute for tried and tested Mugabe
COMPELLING direct and circumstantial evidence indicates that Morgan Tsvangirai’s MDC has had only one objective since taking to the political stage: to drag Zimbabwe back to its 1979 status. Their 12 years of largely discreditable existence have produced no action … Read more

Zanu PF must change tactics or lose power
