I have just had a 20 minute conversation with my brother and journalist colleague Blessed Mhlanga. He remains in high spirits despite his unwarranted detention. What this regime doesn't know is that the democratic struggle becomes personal to all victims of State repression.

nehandaradio.com/2025/05/15/luk… The ED regime has not only been looting at a grand scale but has also been persecuting citizens through wanton arrests, abductions and even murder. Today, five years later, I retell the painful story of three brave women. Lest we forget

nehandaradio.com/2025/05/25/luk… Today is Africa Day. Our Africa has become a source of both pride and shame. Like an errant schoolboy before the school principal, Ramaphosa sat meekly before Trump as he tried to shoo away the outright falsehoods currently driving US foreign policy

nehandaradio.com/2025/06/01/luk… Last June, ZACC chair Michael Reza said heads would roll in ZEC-gate. Today, a year later no head has rolled and our Reza has not cut anything. So the month we begin today marks the first anniversary of the bluntes Reza in history .

nehandaradio.com/2025/06/05/luk… Today is the 3rd anniversary of the death of Alex Magaisa. He left us great memories, particularly the gripping story of mad Mamvura. But while his Mamvura had the decency to stop the bus and quit, the new Mamvura wants to drive the bus until 2030.

Today is Friday the 13th, that unlucky day according to Western superstition. In our own culture, do we have such days that are steeped in superstition? Does our own "chisi" fall within the same ambit of superstition? Just wondering

Today is Father's Day. Being a man is a biological and a sexual condition but being a father denotes honour and responsibility. There are many men out there but very few fathers. But today we're celebrating fathers, not men

nehandaradio.com/2025/06/15/luk… While baba was revered, some of today's fathers cut pitiful figures. Spotting the same" carrot" hairstyles as their wives, there's now confusion because in some homes,physically and conceptually, the father and the mother cut a striking resemblance!

nehandaradio.com/2025/06/16/luk… This week marks the first anniversary of the statement Ndakachibata kuti Dzvi, uttered by Wicknell in audios leaked mid-June last year. That statement remains the most arrogant affirmation of State capture by a politically connected criminal elite.

Indeed , this is a kleptocracy. . There's serious under-sight (not oversight) of this govt because Parly has sold out and is now complicit. So unfortunate that individuals outside the relevant spaces are exposing graft and asking the relevant questions. Cry, my beloved country

I am reading Prof Blessing Miles Tendi's book The Overthrow of Robert Mugabe, Gender, Coups and Diplomats (2025). In the book, the Oxford university based Zimbabwean academic gives a refreshing perspective of the gender element of the 2017 coup in Zimbabwe .Will review it soon

17 years ago today, on Sunday 22 June 2008, Morgan Tsvangirai and the MDC pulled out of a violent, contrived run-off poll . MT said he would not sacrifice the people for power, vowing he would not walk to State House on top of dead bodies and graves.

In Thabani Mpofu's voice: The charge sheet is now in the public domain. The committed arrant violations of the standing statutes guiding the church are as clear as a goat's behind. The fulcrum of this matter is the wanton desecration of the SDA pulpit.

nehandaradio.com/2025/06/27/luk… Today is June 27, a day known for Zanu PF violence. Their thugs asked their victims to choose between "short sleeve" (having your wrists cut off) or "long sleeve" (having the hand cut off from the shoulder)? But then there was MT's June 27 memo

nehandaradio.com/2025/07/02/luk… It's May 2017. Mugabe is in Cancun, Mexico for a conference. He calls Kasukuwere into his hotel suite and tells him he will retire to allow Sekeramayi to take over. . 7 hrs later @ 2 am, Tyson leaves Mugabe's hotel room with clear instructions

“A policy that says some Zimbabweans can lose private property simply because they are critics of the ruling establishment is downright uncouth and belongs to the dark ages. The irrationality inherent in the process is unmistakable and cannot go unnoticed," Justice Bongani Ndlovu

nehandaradio.com/2025/07/08/luk… God made a simple exhortation: "Let there be light." But then our national villain Sydney Gata gave us pitch darkness, managing only a few sparks in the field of romance where his prowess related him to double royalty ie Bob and ED.

nehandaradio.com/2025/07/23/luk… The truth is under siege. Welcome to the age of post-reality, where falsehoods are packaged as reality. In this age of skits and content creation; where the lines between simulation and reality are blurred, the truth has become the biggest casualty

nehandaradio.com/2025/07/26/18-… On 11 March 2007, as we ran away from police bullets at Zimbabwe Grounds, Gift Tandare was shot dead just a few metres ahead of me.. Today, let's donate and give a hand to his orphaned son, Gift Tandare Jr to finish his Sociology degree at MSU.

nehandaradio.com/2025/07/29/luk… Kana Ndanyura aptly describes the context in which the region's former liberation movements met in SA over the wknd. Chissano summed it up well when he told delegates we have deviated from what we stood for and that we have abandoned the pple.
