The African leadership has failed to complete the decolonization process after independence. Africa remains at the bottom of everyone. So much talking no action. The point is decouple Africa from imperialist capitalism, localise mineral value chains. Promote economic independence

The government must agently address this misbehaviour by some Chinese nationals. It might spiral out of hand. facebook.com/share/v/16Ng4S…

The car-buying frenzy amidst an economic crisis in Zimbabwe is schizophrenic to say the least. Why misuse foreign currency by buying grown ass men and women expensive Japanese and American SUVs? Africans are bewitched by dead people. Ingozi iyi. Decolonise your mind.

The number of charlatans dominating African politics is alarming. Some countries are now run by these low IQ praise singing individuals with zero appreciation of the damage they are causing to our countries. It is a return to witchcraft! Decolonize the mind.

This one is for those struggling to write their PhDs. The job of theory is to make sense of things, to simplify things, to separate wheat from the chaf. Taking away complexity. By simplifying things theory often loses nuance, this leads to reductionist conclusions.

There is something illogical about the Western-driven AI revolution. Why on earth are human beings creating robots to replace themselves? This capitalist crazy requires a sober debate. Unemployment, boredom, suicides and all social ills will follow.

One day we will talk about how Toyota and Ford are the biggest beneficiaries of whatever is happening in Zimbabwe. It will be interesting to get figures on Ford Ranger/Raptor and Toyota Land Cruiser/GD6 imports. We are externalising so much foreign currency to Japan and the US.

Why do Zimbabweans feel the need to badmouth their country when in international forums.I recently attended an online meeting where a Zimbabwean NGO worker kept on saying negative things about Zimbabwe, she even encouraged the NGO to invest in Zambia rather than Zimbabwe.

In terms of observing the cardinal law of evolutionary biology, that of self preservation, the African ranks the worst, both materially and intellectually.

In rainfall terms this looks like a good year, yields are likely to be undermined by the chronic shortage of ammonia fertilizers. How on earth do we not have this essential input ? It's witchcraft to say the least.

OK Zimbabwe is slowly becoming a tuckshop and it's good thing. Their business model is terrible can't wait to see them close. No regrets no nothing.

Rainfed agriculture is a terrible investment given the vagaries of climate. This is my wilted crop. I will harvest less than 20 dollars worth of corn after investing over 70 bucks on my small plot. All the noise about profitability of agriculture is based on gossip than facts.
