Reformation Report with Pastor Tom
I following Pastor Tom Deuschle’s blog www.reformationreport.com . There a number of fascinating posts. One of the recent posts is called ‘Have your say’. Its about the constitution, it encourages people to participate in the constitutional review process, I like the way he ends it.
”For Zimbabwe this is a critical time in their history and could set the course of the country towards greatness or towards what we have witnessed in most of Africa: Lawlessness, and all of the social and economic woes that accompany such a spirit.”
Have your say in a better Zimbabwe!

Zimbabwe Law reloaded
Filed under: Family, Friendship, Community, How Zimbabwe can be better, Politics
The various statutes that make up the law of Zimbabwe are public documents. So are judgements from the country’s High Courts and the Supreme Court. The challenge though, has always been access to these documents, until now. A new online initiative now makes all of these documents freely available.
Through a new website, www.law.co.zw, researchers, law students, lawyers and Human Rights activists can now access the legal information they need, at no cost.
The website also features a legal resources directory which lists various lawyers and legal service providers in the country.
The site has been going through a testing phase for its first month of operation and is now open to the public. “There are still other areas of content to be filled in,” said a spokes person for the project managers, “it’s an ongoing project, as new court cases come up, we will add them. We also plan to increase the scope of the site to archiving newspaper articles that cover legal issues.”
The prime leader is a master communicator

“And it came about, when Jesus had come to the end of these words, that the people were surprised at his teaching, for he was teaching as one having authority, and not as their scribes.” - Matthew 7:28, 29.
All great leaders in history were masters of communication. They were able to reach a mixed population with their philosophy and get them moved deeply enough to be devoted to their cause. Many times I have listened to Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech and I am amazed at how the man used the power of words so efficiently. The multitude that listened to that speech identified with the dream that he had. Even today, people listen to that speech and are able to connect to the man’s passion. How about the new president of the United States? I can understand why he is the president. The man has great appeal in his speech that convinces you that he absolutely believes what he is saying and not just saying it. I listened to a speech he gave in 2004 campaigning for someone else. It was such a powerful speech delivered in about twelve minutes. That is the power of the Prime Leader; the power to utilise words like no average person. Read more
Can a fiscal policy possibly curb the inflation in our heads?
Filed under: Economy, How Zimbabwe can be better, Zimbabwean diaries
The better part of last year saw me living in a secluded place where life is still relatively easy but not necessarily unharmed by the current economic melt down. Yes this is Zimbabwe! The one reason for this is that we are very close to the Botswana border where we get our groceries cheap using our parents’ hard earned forex they send monthly to support their kids in college. Although life is okay, the area is so secluded and the only news about the outside world is through over exaggerated satellite and internet news coupled with the toned down stuff our parents told us via email or telephone. Frankly, none of this prepared me enough for the shock of a life time when I set foot in Harare.
When Reserve Bank governor, Gideon Gono introduced the forex shops we were all relieved at least inflation was going to be past, our prices would be realistic and a lot of goods were going to be readily available on the shelves a slight return to the pre-land redistribution era. Every Zimbabwean was ready to sacrifice the little forex their Diaspora relatives had sent them. But alas, this was just another distant Zimbabwean dream. Read more
Use your talents
Filed under: How Zimbabwe can be better, Inspire & motivate
Its so amazing that each and every one of us has something peculiar to us. Think about the fact that of the seven billion people that are inhabiting the world today, there is no single person who has finger prints like anyone else’s. That indeed is a miracle, a mystery that we can never be able to decode.
But thats not what I want to share with you fellow Zimbabweans. What I want to share with you is the peculiar thing we all posess- different talents.
One person has a very good voice whilst the next person is a powerful business administrator who can turn businesses right side up. We all have different talents, our strengths, things that we are good at.
I recently did an interview with one of the country’s upcoming musician who at a tender age of 19 has released an album, won numerous awards and perfomed in the United States. The question that he evoked in me was how at a tender age he has done what others have failed to do? I expected an arrogant statement, ‘I have worked hard for it.’ No, I was in for a surprise, ‘I have concentrated on my talent and did things that I liked doing,’ was his simple answer Read more
