Msika talked and lived the truth

A ZIMBABWEANS nurse their profound grief on the passing away of Vice-President Joseph Wilfred Msika and ponder over the significance of his lifetime of struggle ahead of his befitting burial at the National Heroes Acre on Monday, the abiding wisdom that death cancels everything but truth must be reverberating in the hearts and minds of those who worked with or knew him as the contagious embodiment of the truth in politics.
The late Vice President Msika was so irrepressibly committed to the truth as an expression of intergenerational leadership that he personified it. He talked and lived the truth with all the associated consequences. There is nobody who worked with or under him, no matter how old or young, who did not experience or suffer the impact of Vice President Msika’s quest for truth.
It is for this reason that, as a man of the truth, he was without doubt the conscience of the nation. He was a leader of immense stature and a very ordinary person at one and the same time. He connected with such ordinary pursuits as boxing and football in ways that are yet to be told.

MDC-T claims on cabinet leaks absurd

By Prof. Jonathan Moyo
SENSATIONAL weekend media reports alleging that the MDC-T is outraged by what it claims are damaging leaks to the press of cabinet papers in advance of their formal discussion in the highest policymaking body of the State raise worrying questions about the apparent dishonourable conduct of some Cabinet Ministers and about the continued lack of collective purpose and direction for the sake of the struggling masses in the inclusive government almost six months after its formation.
The cabinet documents that are alleged to have suffered damaging leaks this week are (1) Comments and Suggested Alterations on the Cabinet Handbook from the Prime Minister’s Office and (2) the draft Information and Communication Technology Bill from Minister Nelson Chamisa’s office.
