Once again, the opposition MDC seems primed for another treachery. This is not new, as they fell for it in 2009 and 2017. The so-called pastoral elders have come up with a sweet-sounding treachery. Apparently, too good to be rejected by the only promising opposition party in Zimbabwe. MDC is…
Ignorant people elect ignorant rulers to govern them
Education ought to be clarified, for purposes of understanding, to avoid ignorance. Some people regard the late former president of Zimbabwe, Mugabe as having been a despot. But, it cannot be disputed that there are others who idolized him for what he was. To those people, there cannot be any…
The order of Be, Do and Having, should not be confused.
People talk passionately about preservation of human life in this world. But what difference does it make when a person lives purposelessly? When existing today, only to be forgotten about, later, because of one’s life having been valueless, what difference does it make? This may sound crude, but a fact…
A leader is as good as capable of serving other people
We live in a world that assumes leadership as implying being served by other people. If there is anything wrong with this world, it comes from the misplaced assumption that leaders are gods. What can be taken as an axiom, on leadership, is that one becomes a leader, only when…
Nothing was wrong with the name Rhodesia, after all
It is on record that changing the name of this country from Rhodesia to Zimbabwe is regarded as landmark. There had to be a distinction, after the blacks had taken over from white rulers. The change made everyone feel that, indeed, there had been some new dispensation in Zimbabwe. But,…
Happiness and influence on other people
Everyone wants to experience happiness in this life. But happiness is illusive, as most people pursue the opposite of what leads to happiness. They spend their energies on concerns that lead to unhappiness—yet dreaming that such endeavors are what leads to happiness. The saddest thing is that such people cannot…
Ancestral Spirit worshipers and God Almighty.
In the Ndebele culture, the worship of God is through the ancestral spirits. In other words, in that religion, humans are considered as dying physically, but spiritually, they do not die. The ancestral spirit religion belief is as real as anything considered as such—though not proven physically. The origins of…
Where to, Zimbabwe? It’s time to distinguish the Suppressor
Problem is that a suppressor is not easily distinguishable. A reckless driver is the one with a tendency to blame someone else, rather than accept responsibility for wrong driving. When accepting responsibility, two possible developments could take place. Either the driver corrects the wrongness, or accepts being not the right…
What consecrates Christianity is Allegiance to Jesus
Christianity is characterized in various denominations, administered according to the patterns and directions of the respective authorities. None claims not to follow the teachings of Jesus. However, adherence to a particular denomination disqualifies allegiance to Jesus. The early Church also faced the phenomenon of allegiance to individual characters, rather than…
Misinterpretation of ‘politics’ causes confusion
The definition of politics implies the ability to exercise good judgement in managing people in public affairs. It is intended for the welfare of ordinary humans, when conserving and manipulating the country’s available resources. Politicians are, therefore, highly necessary—when effective. It is impossible for humans to survive optimally, without proper…
