New Fresh Look, More Stories, More Scoops

-

I hope you like the new look. I basically worked non-stop through the night to change from the old blogger template, which has served me quite well, taking me to Page Rank 5, Number 1 in Zimbabwe on Afrigator and also in the mid-fifties in all of Africa out of 10 445 blogs!

Some amongst us have been complaining that they missed some stories and articles because of the previous format, which displayed my famously long posts on the home page. This template is specially for you, then. At a glance, you can scan my posts and articles (yes, there is a difference!) from the last 4 days or so without having to scroll down much.

It is not perfect yet and I am still refining the layout, adding, subtracting and especially fine tuning how the full post looks when you click on the title to read it. I will be adding a Read More button at the end of the summaries you see on the front page, and an anchor to take you back to the that same front page from the full post.

I am beat right now, so that will have to wait till another less hectic day.

Comments are still playing up, and it pays to have some patience, which is why I am amazed when anyone actually manages to get through. These days, most of the conversations and arguments arising from my posts are taking place on my Facebook page, which is why I have also included a link at the top of the page in case you want in.

So, that said, perhaps I should just bugger off now and leave you to enjoy your Sunday in peace, although I will be posting another bombshell later on day, a scoop (yet again! and no, I am still not tired of scooping everyone!) that I got on Friday regarding The Solution and his people and their ill-gotten farms.

Till then, enjoy the new look and I will see you on the other side of the week.

Who Killed Elliot Manyika?

Security was unprecedented at the burial of Elliot Manyika. Mugabe traditionallu has tight security, including two truckloads of fully armed combat troops and an ambulance (he has never used it), but even by his standards, the level of security at Heroes Acre was unusually tight. Here he inspects a guard of honour of t he presidential guard with his wife Internet connetion in this country is getting worse by the day. I have not been able to access the blog for more than 24 hours now and even as I write this, I am not sure I will be able to post it. We are continually getting "conectivity problems", whatever those are. We have lots to talk about, you and I. We can catch up on the comments page if you have any thoughts. First, it should come as no surprise that Jakaya Kikwete refuses to confirm or deny his conversation with Mugabe yesterday. It was a conversation in which he really was not making any demands, but merely asking if the "insurgency" case is nearing

Another Tsvangirai Family Accidental Death

Shaun Tsvangirai, grandson to Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, drowned in the swimming pool at the PM's home in Strathaven. Shaun was being looked after by the PM and his wife The Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, Morgan Tsvangirai, lost a grandchild on Friday, who drowned in the swimming pool at the PMs residence in Strathaven, a middle-density surburb in Harare. The child who drowned is understood to be Shaun Tsvangirai, son of Garikayi Tsvangirai, himself a son of the Prime Minister. Garikayi had not been living with his parents in Strathaven but had instead left his two children in the care of their grandmother for quite some time now. Around the time of the death of Mrs Tsvangirai, I was told that Garikayi had actually been kicked out of the home together with his wife, after his parents objected to the union (the wife had apparently at one time left Garikayi for his friend before coming back to him. This was the source of discord, I was told.) At the time, I did not think the stor

Zimbabwe: Petition To Free A Two Year Old Toddler From Prison

-

Zimbabweans , and my readers from all over the world, take a good look at the photo above. This is what a two year old toddler looks like . A boy just like the sweet little kid above is imprisoned right now in one of Zimbabwe's most brutal and notorious prisons. His name is Nigel Mupfuranhehwe. His crime is that his mother is being charged with recruiting "bandits" to topple the government of Robert Mugabe. Zimbabwe lawyers who are representing his mother and the other accused in the case say that this little child has been beaten in front of his mother to get her to confess. Imprisoning a two year old in a maximum security prison together with murderers and rapists and some of the worst kinds of people on earth boggles the mind. I do not know how the government of Robert Mugabe is justifying this cruelity to itself, but I am more shocked at our own reaction, our silence and complicity in all this. Where is our sense of outrage, Zimbabwe? Where is our humanity? In all the
