Updated 11 May, 2010 ................. i am appealing to all who are in the diaspora to their way back home so that we build our beautiful country zimbabwe. on your programes we enjoy listening everyday thank you for informing us on everything you doing a great job .please send me news on my mobile phone thank ................. SW can be better than this. How did Mahoso come back? I didn\'t need to read the whole article; the headline was enough for me. God save Zim! ................. The history of Zimbabwe is filled with themes of oppression. Whether the curtailment of freedoms of the masses, or the minorities, Zimbabweans, black and white, have faced obstacles to freedom and democracy for a considerable time. Ian Smith claims that the country would have been better off to have continued as a minority white rule than under Mugabe’s presidency. However we do know that under Smith’s Rhodesian Front, the black populous faced such hardships that it could be said with relative certainty that many would have led an impoverished life. Indeed, discontent with the minority government ultimately led to Mugabe’s accession to power. The result of the bloody liberation war of the 1970’s was due to deliver a fairer government under majority rule. History however has shown something much different. The corruption and oppression of Mugabe’s ZANU-PF began soon after its creation, with the ‘removal’ of political opponents and the 1980’s mass murder of minority people in the Matabeleland, people traditionally seen as supporters of the potential opposition. Despite the formation GNU the old political guard continues to protect its territory . Article XIX of GPA sets out to recognise the importance of the right to freedom of expression and the role of the media in a multi-party democracy. Under the GPA, the Ministry of Media, Information and Publicity has been allocated to Zanu PF. The new Minister of Information is Webster Shamu who has been described as \"instrumental in helping to turn the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation into a centre of hate speech and blatant propaganda. No democracy without free media. Article Six of GPA ‘’the constitution’ it is the fundamental right of the Zimbabwean people to make a constitution by themselves and for themselves. The parties are also aware that the process of making this constitution must be owned and driven by the people and must be inclusive and democratic. The Kariba draft, which is peripherally mentioned in the minor sections of the article, should not be aloud to blind us from recognizing the existence of the electorate and appreciating their part in the making of a new constitution, their constitution. The constitutional reform process determined exclusively by the political parties in Parliament and not the people currently searching for freedom not necessarily result in oppression removal. I don’t claim that any opposition leaders have or will have sinister motives for power or other ill intentions, but Mugabe himself was a leading freedom fighter in the 1970’s, and so perhaps this is something to think about. This escape from oppression is certainly not going to happen while Mugabe remains in power, but what will give the people real freedom? A people-driven constitutional process is democratic, transparent. It is independent of parochial and partisan interests of the political leaders of the day. It is led by an independent commission composed of all stakeholders and headed by an independent-minded Zimbabwean, preferably from the judiciary or clergy. Simbarashe ................. Its a pity that a party led by Arthur Mutambara can have a say on when the next elections are going to be held. This party is in government by the grace of god and a Zanu PF\'S ploy to divisional weaken the mainstream MDC party or by default as some writers accurately put it. The new constitution should not allow a minority party to hold the country from moving forward. This MDC-M party is going to hold our country to ransom as much as we have never imagined, to the joy of Zanu PF. Its inclusion in the GNU with minority support was a terrible mistake.It is always easier to get two parties to agree than three.The west describes it as a hunk parliament which history has shown does not work because of constant bickering within parties trying to muscle each other out. murambatsvina ................. ZIMBABWE-BINDURA- 1. In the above case they didn\'t do anything for personal gain. The Mazda trucks and tractor are town council property and the remainder was used for payroll. zu ................. Love and prayers to little precious guy who had the guts to take out the THUG who killed his father. About time we all stood up to Mugabe and his henchemen because their days are numbered.Stand up and be counted.God Bless and save us all from the evil despot and his cohorts. ................. we would like to have education programs as we have healthy programs thank u for surporting us liberty ................. its only less than a month when the president talked of political motivated violence surprisingly this kind violence is happenig. i would our very own sw radio africa to have promotions through qustions.greatigs to u all our dear brothers and sisters at sw Thanks for introducing such a beautiful radio station to your fellow Zimbos who are oppressed and I would love to get all the swradio latest news on my phone. what can l do? 16 April 2010 ZESA is commercial, or ought to be. What human rights is WOZA looking to achieve in a commercial enterprise with operational costs waiting to be paid off at the end of the day? Since 1980, ZANU PF had the monopoly over national events like Independence Day and Heroes Day. This year the children born after the 1980 landmark year are holding their own independence celebrations. Running under the theme, Born free but in chains the born free generation will be breaking the chains of poverty , political exclusion , political violence, manipulation that has characterized their lives. The will be making a statement that though they are called born frees, they are in no way free, that they are not victims but are determined to shack the chains that bind them. That not being born before or during the liberation war does not make them lesser citizens, they are 100% Zimbabweans!! I think you could have given us a more solid story if you had asked Jethro what exactly is the reason we do not have the Daily News on th streets today, that is you should have insited the fellow tells you what he or his company was told by the ZMC is the reason why they cannot get a licence (the point is the ANZ case is really an old issue and a committee set up by the governmnet sometime back already recommended that they should get a licence) Secondly you should have asked Jethro to explain if there is a link between his Daily News and the Nyarota website, are they working together to re-launch the Daily News? It is a very critical question I do not know why you omitted it mu sister. Then if you really wanted to give us a complete story you could have also asked the ZMC (do they have a contact number or address these people) why they cannot simply act on the recommendations of the committe set by the government which said that the ANZ should be given a licence? Thanks. ................. i think they are doing a right thing i m appealing for the fees issue on tertiary level again the should put more effort on us please WOZA should act also i m listener of sw radio africa you to forget important issues like these ones liberty ................. 11 April 2010 20:07 The ‘MIGHT’ Zimbabwe of Africa The visit by the South Africa’s youth Leader, Julius Malema in support of Zanu PF, made me wonder about the power of the Zanu PF politicians across Africa. Little did this inexperienced leader knew that by accepting an invitation by Zanu PF, Probably the work of Mr Saviour Kasukuwere, he was being invited to campaign for Zanu PF. Malema has been used once again by the strategic Zanu PF. His lack of diplomacy, unlike his former President Mbeki tells us more about what sort of a SA mediator we have trusted to protect and guide the wishes of millions of the Zimbabweans. Murambatsvina ................. 07 April 2010 I think it is good for us Zimbabweans to tell Zuma that he is not doing his job correctly as madiator in fact he has already taken side.Why he let his stupid son come and chart a slogan of saying down with MDC.What is he going to do about it.I am in possesion of their plans ANC and ZANU pf on how they want to in vade South African farms.Everything is being organized by Zanu pf war vertarans at Zimnabwe\'s millitery accademy.I would like an interview where i will read the contents, may be it will help South Aftricans before they destroy their country. Onest ................. Magistrates and judges should refuse to be used by zanu pf by being made to join their gravy train. ................. ................. ................. This comes as no surprise at all especially in the wake of reports by Zimrights that the rural folk no longer trust our politicians. ................. ................. .................
................. This comes as no surprise at all especially in the wake of reports by Zimrights that the rural folk no longer trust our politicians. Sam ................. 20 January 2010 This brings me to the interview you conducted with Enos Nkala. I think you were badly prepared for that interview and were therefore unable to press Enos Nkala properly on some of his fanciful claims such as being a friend of Zapu and Joshua Nkomo. I think it is outrageous to claim that he worked to prevent the genocide of the people of Matabeleland for the three reasons i detail below 1. At the relevant time the peak deployment of security forces in Matabeleland was approximately 20 000. This consisted as is widely known of the 5th Brigade under Colonel P. Shiri. A division strength ZNA special task force consisting of two brigades of infantry under Brigadier Henry Muchena of about 10 000 men. The rest of the numbers were made up by of ZRP Support Unit troops. As Home Affairs Minister Enos Nkala would have been directly responsible for a quarter of the firepower in Matabeleland. 2. Zimbabwe has a doctrine of collective cabinet responsibility and Enos Nkala could have resigned out of principle if he fundamentally disagreed with the policy pursued by his government and was unable to influence his colleagues to change it. When Enos Nkala did eventually resign from government it was in the midst of a corruption scandal that had nothing to do with the Human Rights situation in Matabeleland. 3. Many books have been written about this period in Zimbabwe\'s history I would recommend to you M. Meredith, Mugabe (2nd edition, Jonathan Ball Publishers, Cape Town 2009). A whole chapter on Gukurahundi is dominated by just two people, you guessed it R. Mugabe and E. Nkala. I urge you to bring back Mr Nkala and put directly to him the allegations in this book. He should either sue the publishers or we can assume the charges against him are substantially true. Violet next time you deal with thieves and murderers please do your research thoroughly or you will be guilty in allowing them to go scot free and by your actions and omissions you will have weakened our country. You are in a position of great professional responsibility and we expect better from you next time. ................. Tim ................. 15 January 2010 Notwithstanding the apparent inaccuracies about the aircraft’s speed and other details published by some organisations, if it is true that Mugabe bought the monstrous obsolete aircraft and bartered it with bloody diamonds then that’s another page to Zimbabwe’s Encyclopaedia of Corruption and White Elephants! If it’s true it never surprises me because Mugabe has a bloated ego. Nothing would be bought without his knowledge and consent. At a time when the country is riddled with potholes, hospitals have inadequate drugs, people are still dying of cholera (a preventable disease) schools have no books, 95 percent are unemployed, the majority of the people are relying on food aid, then someone dreams of such grand retail therapy to appease Mugabe, I am not amused at all but not surprised. You just need to count the number of vehicles and outriders in his motorcade in order to understand Mugabe’s mindset – wasteful, selfish and egotistic and unconcerned about his carbon footprint nor the impact on the poor taxpayer. ................. |
