Today President Mugabe capped thousands of graduates at the University of Zimbabwe, the first time he has done so after his election victory on the 31st of July this year.

After Nelson Mandela, Steve Biko is probably the most famous of South Africa’s liberation struggle icons. In terms of ideology, Steve Biko is much more influential – Black Consciousness is studied by Africans, those of African descent and others for various reasons and purposes.

Today I turned twenty two. I don’t think I have ever written anything as stupid as this, or as pointless. But it is my birthday and I guess I will be excused I have the misfortune of celebrating my birthday on a day best known for the terrorist attacks on the twin towers in 2001,…
This past week Zimbabweans laid to rest three liberation heroes. Though it is inevitable that those who fought in our liberation struggle will soon die, and at a faster rate, because of their advanced ages, I’m sure none expected that three could die in such a short time.

So we…

Like most elections in Africa, this election has been challenged by the opposition. There have been too many irregularities in the electoral processes and I do…
In a few hours I will vote for the first time. I will vote for change. The polling station at which I will cast my first vote is normally a clinic. I would like to think that it is significant that I will vote at a clinic – clinics are where the sick are treated…
