As I reflected on my life in 2024, I recognised the importance of acknowledging my newsroom teacher, Andrew Moyse—who transformed me from a news reporter into a journalist.

A feat he achieved many times over with many Zimbabweans who became prominent journalists.

I wish you all a great 2025.

Just one thing:
Do not let it be a year of excuses for not doing what needs to be done.

Great champions and successful people focus on solutions that overcome problems, not on perennial excuses.

Wherever you are, have a happy and successful 2025.

Every last day of the year, I choose my Person of the Year.

This year, my 2024 Person of the Year is Mozambican presidential candidate Venâncio Mondlane, who exemplified true leadership and demonstrated how to stand up for the people who voted for you when elections are rigged by leading them.

The Ministry of Lands transferred millions into a bank account of a bogus company fronted by ZANUPF crooks who spent the money on Cars, women, & booze?

Zim is now beyond a crime scene!

Hospitals have no drugs, homes have no drinking water, yet the government is being ruthlessly looted like this!

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has died in a helicopter crash that also killed the Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.

Vice President Mohammad Mokhber will take over until an election is held within a maximum period of 50 days, according to the Iranian constitution.

Don’t get too worked up or upset by stupid comments on social media.

Treat your social media wall, or any wall, as a village.
As you know, every village has an idiot!

Zimbabwe has been turned into a real joke by this regime!

How does a magistrate conviction someone without a trial?

As I said yesterday, and as Sun Tzu has said in The Art of War, “…never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

The world can see what is going on!

One of Zimbabwe’s daily newspapers, @NewsDayZimbabwe reported that the Black market rate had risen to Z$2100 by yesterday.

Each time this rate goes up, the cost of buying goods goes up too!

When we fight for good governance, we are fighting for our people to have decent lives!

This is the wheel chair being used to move patients at Mpilo Hospital, one of Zimbabwe’s 5 biggest hospitals.

Mpilo is a referral hospital to 5 of Zimbabwe’s provinces.

Zimbabwe is in a total mess today, and its citizens are hopeless as the opposition can’t do anything for fear of being arrested.
