The platform hosted by Ruvheneko Parirenyatwa, is a great testimony of how Zimbabwe is maturing as a democracy.
The past debates like the one with William Lumumba Mutumanje aka Acie Lumumba and the recent one with Evan Mawarire, are a sign that Zimbabweans have a right and can freely practice their right to freedom of expression as enshrined in the constitution.
It is a shame that as a people we fail to view issues objectively. We are politically polarised and it has reached a point where we cannot debate national issues for progress’ sake but rather seek to gain cheap political points. We are fiddling with people’s lives, we are playing games with our children’s lives and future.
Zimbabweans need to unite even in our differences and shine brightly in our individuality for a better country.
I posit here that Tafadzwa Musarara and Evan Mawarire had an explosive debate that could have helped us craft solutions to our problems as a nation. Unfortunately it degenerated into an anti- Mugabe Vs Pro- Mugabe discourse which characterises our vitriolic national politics than solve anything.
The agents of regime change have erroneously led us to believe that everything must be about removing Mugabe; yet key national issues will remain unresolved even if he goes today. In that vein everything must be about strengthening institutions and systems and to get Zimbabwe functioning well. Albeit we have challenges and yes we shall differ on the diagnosis of the symptoms, but the country comes first. You can remove Mugabe today but what guarantee is there that Joyce Mujuru or Morgan Tsvangirai can do better and deliver in office when key institutions and systems are not strong enough? We have all witnessed the chaos our neighbour Zambia even after a Tsvangirai style (Pastor Frederick Chiluba) party took over, the latter who died with a damning corruption scandal on his head.
It is our national duty as a people to strengthen and defend our institutions and systems and that is what we are missing as a nation.
In a nutshell well done Ruvheneko keep going, well done Evan and well done to Tafadzwa, a new beacon of hope has begun! Zimbabwe is a healthy democracy that needs more patriotism and balanced interpretation of problems and solutions.

my brother, learn to be objective and honest with facts, all institutions in zim are weakened because of an incapable leadership that pays patronage to and subscribes to policies that lack economic viability. And our weakest links are individuals like you who still leave in the past when the present and the future require better thinking which SHOULD EMBRACE CHANGE

Remove Mugabe and ma problems ese disappear. No use pretending. He is not a deity. People are suffering because of one economically illiterate undiplomatic old man who is past retirement age.

If the head of the country charges those who called for sanctions against the country, you scream no rule of law! We are also responsible for the mess, until we change our attitude, tinomama chete kusvika zvanaka.

This guy forgets that leadership is at the centre of the strength and/or weaknesses of institutions. You can’t strengthen institutions when their leadership is weak or non-existent. That is why current debates about Zim’s problems end up focusing on leadership and advocating its change becoz that is the beginning of strengthening institutions. Be guided accordingly.

This pod cast is typical of the Zimbabwean situation. I salute Pator E Mawarire for being bold and your message appeals to a larger audience than you probably know. Its unfortunate that you got invited to a radio program by a radio station that pays patronage to the regime. I am confused by Tafadzwa Musarara’s title. At one point you say he is a political analyst and l suppose he should use impartiality in looking at issues. In this debate Tafadzwa Musarara seems to be talking like a representative of the Government if not muCIO. It seems like Tafadzwa was up to discredit Pastor E and had all kind of supposed dirt about the dear Pastor and intimidate him pamusoro pazvo. To Pastor E, walk in the light and no amount of darkness will deter or divert you from the message, we the people are behind you a 100%. They want us to be blind kuhuwori hweZimbabwe huripachena. We shall speak, Taneta. To Ruvheneko dont invite maCIO to your programs again it ruins your credibility. By the way Ruvheneko are you any relationship to Dr Parirenyatwa? If you are, then it explains everything that went wrong with this debate. Pastor E, you are in our prayers and thoughts tiri tese panyaya iyi usatye.

the writer of this article tried his/her best to strike a balance in his argument but his weakness sterms from his failure to acknowledge that the head of every institution should be held accountable for the rot at the concerned institution and as such the head of state and government shoulders equally the same responsibility and his failure to instill discipline and strengthen institutions, legal and otherwise, has no defense. Zimbabweans are renowned the world over for being strategists, so why are we failing and in any case i dont see any weak institution but lack of will on the part of the authorities period, give us a better line of argument next time
