âItâs cold outside ZANU PFâ: What Walter Mzembiâs desperate return bid reveals about power in Zimbabwe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gabriel Manyati argues that Walter Mzembiâs attempt to rejoin ZANU PF exposes a political system in which access to the ruling party can determine wealth, protection and survival. There is a particular kind of quiet that descends when the state turns off its heat. For years, Walter Mzembi inhabited the gilded corridors of global diplomacy, gliding through UNWTO summits, addressing foreign correspondents in tailored suits and issuing imperious directives as Robert Mugabeâs Minister of Tourism
The white wedding is not the marriage: When Western tradition becomes church doctrine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gabriel Manyati argues that African churches must stop treating an expensive Western-style ceremony as the biblical requirement that makes a marriage spiritually valid. On 5 September 2026, Canaan Mumba, a 23-year-old man from the Harare suburb of Budiriro, completed the traditional lobola negotiations for his bride, Thelma Hliwayo. In the eyes of both families, an enduring covenant had been struck. The bride price had been settled, the elders had given their blessings, and the two households we

Read excerpt
Gabriel Manyati explores the volatile affair between Dambudzo Marechera and Flora Veit-Wild, her HIV diagnosis and her lifelong work preserving the writerâs literary legacy.

Her lover â the brilliant, nomadic and notoriously tempestuous Zimbabwean author Dambudzo Marechera â was suffering from AIDS-related pneumo

Read excerpt
Colonel Minnie Baloyi-Chiwenga's US$10,000 Wellness Plus challenge has put exercise and healthier living into the spotlight as Zimbabwe confronts high levels of hypertension and other non-communicable disease risks. At 4:30am in the morning chill of Harare, Colonel Minnie Baloyi-Chiwenga, a military officer, is already laced up and moving through an intense circuit of planks, bodyweight squats, and core drills. Her military background is evident in the unyielding precision of her routine. Yet ac
Brace yourselves, CAB4 is coming: Mnangagwa’s apparent plan to rule for life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gabriel Manyati argues that talk of CAB4, Mnangagwa remaining in power until 2035 and calls for an even longer tenure should not be dismissed as political theatre, but viewed as warning signs of Zimbabwe’s possible next constitutional battle. In Zimbabwean politics, our most prized national pastime is treating the early, absurd warnings of authoritarian permanence as harmless comedy. We possess a sublime, almost tragicomic ability to dismiss the initial signals of presidential lifespan extension
