AT long last! We are glad the Herald now knows the media have a duty to promote unity among Zimbabweans and not foster hatred by carrying falsehoods and propaganda that poisons the mind.

NOT only with justification, because of its unjust, inhuman, foolhardy, and economically destructive consequences, but also because it is so deviously and racialistically discriminatorily conceptualised, and because its economic impacts can only intensify the suffering and distress of millions of Zimbabweans, this column has scathingly criticised the Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Act, and its   underlying, recently promulgated regulations.

THE Affirmative Action Group (AAG) has never, is not and will not contemplate seizing foreign owned companies outside the premises of the law.

LAST week’s proclamation by President Robert Mugabe of his intention to stand for another term should his party confirm him stands out as one very pivotal political  pronouncement that has pungent effects for Zanu PF and the MDC-T.

THE 21st February Movement gala held at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair Grounds in Bulawayo last Friday was a spiritually captivating affair, the Herald reported. 

IN the last two weeks this column erroneously projected negative economic consequences of the enactment, on February 12, of the Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Regulations, 2010. 

PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe has a new message for foreign investors and local whites: stop being ungrateful and embrace my generosity and benevolence.

THE issue of sanctions has been the bane of the MDC-T: the scapegoat of Zanu PF and an excuse for the otherwise ‘sleeping’ MDC-M to utter something of sorts.

THE role of first ladies or wives of prominent politicians in determining the destinies of political leaders cannot be underestimated in political discourse and processes.

OUR country’s current political context as determined by the inclusive government is now characterised by the politics of default. 

TUCKED away among the many slavish messages of support for the president on his birthday was a little advert from the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe.

IT is inevitable that, year after year, one must ponder whether the Zimbabwean government is capable of formulating policies that will enhance the economy or, in the alternative, if it does, whether it is not bent upon Zimbabwe’s economic destruction.

WHEN the inclusive government was formed in February 2009, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai promised civil servants that he would pay them in hard currency of their choice.

WHEN the constitutional debate started to rage in Zimbabwe, a lot of us were quick to dismiss Lovemore Madhuku and the National Constitutional Assembly (NCA)’s position as based on political rhetoric and abstract suspicions driven by self-imposition of will and desire.

IN what is clearly an act of madness, the Robert Mugabe government in Zimbabwe published on February 9 regulations governing “Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment”, making it compulsory for white-owned companies in Zimbabwe to hand majority control to black persons.

TAFATAONA Mahoso has been waging war against the Law Society of Zimbabwe for several years now. It is therefore surprising that he can’t spell Sternford Moyo’s name correctly. It is not “Stanford”.

GOVERNMENT (or, to be more specific, the Minister of Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment, undoubtedly instructed by his political masters) has enacted a demonic death sentence upon the Zimbabwean economy. 

AFTER reading Jonathan Moyo’s article (Sunday Mail, February 14) one feels compelled to conclude that the professor is apparently objective only when bitter. To conclude any other way would be a clear disregard of Moyo’s reasoning. 

IT has always amused us how state-controlled newspapers are obliged to prefix their reference to issues such as sanctions with words such as “illegal” when they are not illegal at all.

IT is indisputable that the Zimbabwean economy is recovering.
