Zimbabwe needs a Saviour





Looking at the political deadlock and a lot of other hindrances that are causing the country not to develop it is clear that we need a saviour or two with supernatural powers in Zimbabwe.
We have tried putting trust in men and in politics and it seems as if the main agenda of every politician is power and money and on the other hand the people and the betterment of the community are not on their mind.The only thing that can be talked about that has been done by the politicians for the people is the attainment of "freedom and independence" and because there is nothing else they have done,that same fact of putting their lives on the line has been highly exploited to the maximum that we have nothing else to do but to live in the past.
Because we are in living in the past or in other words we are driving a car while looking in the view mirror and not in the front we have seen that we have made a lot of fatal crashes and there is something that is telling me that we have to brace ourselves for more is install for us.
It is obvious that we need a saviour,a sanctuary,someone to put trust in,someone who is not selfish and has the people's interests at heart,someone who would take a bullet for someone.
In search of hope we met up with Superman and Batman and they so happened to be taking a stroll in the neighbourhood.

Arts and Democracy Part 2





According to Dr Lovemore Madhuku " The world of Arts can never make sense if it does not relate to the day to livelihood of a community".He was quoted saying this at Performing Democracy workshop that was held at the Media House Centre  in Harare recently.
Dr Madhuku  said that Politicians are dictators by telling people what to do and what not to do and also controlling what to happen and what not to happen and the  role of Arts is to show the people that out of every situation there is an alternative.He also stated that the society is not free because of human effort and it is the role of arts to make an effort and make the society a better place.
Dr Madhuku said that in a society everyone has a role to play and no one is supposed to be told what to do but everything that is done is because of the pursuit of happiness.He said that everyone has the mandate to give back to the community and if you have a talent it has to be exploited  for the betterment of the community.
He concluded saying that "Yes indeed Art is very vital in Democratic Development because it is about life and how else can one talk about life without including Freedom and Democracy".
