Diversity on all landscapes and platforms makes one of the objectively strong inclusive development factors for any nation and continent not only Zimbabwe and Africa but the developed Europe and others as history shows. Time is an all time great warrior, heroes come and fall with other more potential heroes emerging on the scene, it is objective and unobjectionable.God bless.
What makes it a headline that a white person heads the new political party. He may well be locally born. He may well be an honest person with the ability to fulfill his role.Africa is for all people, as is America, Asia, Europe and the rest of the world.
Africa is for Africans bro!
Africa is for all people who have integrity and guts to unite, cooperate and work together regardless of color of their skin. Your comment is not wise my brother
LOL – We are ALL Africans. But we have too many black racists, like white racists in USA
That is a pertinent question. Why is his race a part of the headline? He is a well known and respected figure in his community. Zimbabwe is for Zimbabweans who want Zimbabwe to be the best version of itself as a nation with the welfare of her children at the forefront. Let us be progressive and not justify bias based on superficial differences that add to diversity but shouldn’t make us divergent
Fuck off
It’s a headline because it hasn’t happened in a while, not that it shldnt happen or what.
bwaa ha haa
Wanna join
Want to join
The Ndebele dominate the committee
People, I was involved in the birth of the MDC – ALL who care for our country are Zimbabweans. Morgan and the leadership rejected all racism.
Would you prefer for it to be a china man bros it currently in progress
With all due respect I still hate the fact that we are still separated by skin.What kind of a political party do we need?….History will keep repeating itself until we see ourselves as human beings,living in a world where there is no white,coloured or black or Indian but the human race….
Why Ndebele people have dominated the committee
If the party stands for free-market capitalism and a small government, then I am ready to join!!
