The Zimbabwe crisis continues to capture headlines as negotiations enter a third week. Last week, AllAfrica sat down with Rejoice Ngwenya, a Zimbabwean writer and intellectual who was visiting Washington DC at the invitation of the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. In the interview, Ngwenya, who also serves as a policy adviser to the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) but does not speak ...

Allafrica,
please be careful not to lose all credibility by giving space to "intellectuals" such as Rejoice Ngwenya....If this is what the MDC policy advisory team consists off, then we will be even worse off than we are now.
I am wondering Ms.Zim Girl, which part or maybe all parts of the article concern you the most. Mugabe's side, Ian Smith's bit or was it the reality of the cold hard facts. Personally I say shame on any anyone who believes that the removal of humanity in dealing with people and replacing it with an enduring poverty is acceptable.
Mugabi can never be trusted; he's evil, period. He signed a power sharing agreement with ZAPU-PF led by Josuah Nkomo. We all know what happened: Nkomo was framed up, thrown behind bar, and 20,000 of his supporters were butched like goats.
Morgan, any agreement with Mugabi will be a political sucide. Mugabi has a bad track record; he'll not honour any pact. The man is a control freak. Mugabi just want to use you to get the world off his back, and when nobody is watching, you'll suffer a similar faith as Josuah Nkomo. Keep your eyes open.
Thats history and all you talk about is yesterday blah blah blah. Lets build for the morrow and let our young people apply their dynamism and highly focused abilities. In fact Zimbabwe does not need USA/Uk so called aid, what we need is the freedom to do trade in the world. Our boys and girls are capable of generating wealth and prosperity without this aid which meddles with their thinking. Just remove the sanctions.
The problem is some of us zimbabweans have the belief that recognizing tthe good in Rhodesia is treason or colonial hangover. i grew up and was educated under Smith's reign. believe me when i say Iwould rather live under Smith again than under Mugabe. There it is said. Spew all your hatred. I am black and from zimbabwe!!!
Wow Mwana! That is a damning indictment of Mugabe. Good for you about being so brutally honest about your feelings and exactly how rotten Zimbabwe has become thanks to to corrupt kleptocracy called zanu-pf.
Disgust, rather than hate Mwana. "I am black and pitiful", would have been a better description!!!
finally you have summed yourself up in a short enough post to keep us interested! But then we all knew that from the very start anyways that you were pitiful..so....no surprise there!
It would not surprise me in the least to find that “Mwana” is another way of saying “enlightened”. When one speaks such an important truth, in and about such a place, especially home, that also makes them an integral part of the architecture of a renewed and prosperous homeland. Blessings.
