http://www.thezimbabwereview.co.zw/2015/07/zimbabwes-inflationary-plague-of.html

Zimbabwe-related analysis and opinion. Zimbabwe's inflationary plague of doctorates. Jul 7, 2015. 8220;Zimbabwe is the most literate nation in Africa,” you will often hear it boasted. And cars now being so widely and easily available and therefore having lost much of their cachet at showing ‘who is really who’ between us, titles of any sort are the in thing at the moment, academic ones being the most prized. Usefulness of ‘doctorhood’ to solving real world problems. Still, the title &#821...You know that...

Zimbabwe-related analysis and opinion. Irish Aid-funded UN volunteer programme sends 'development worker' on one year holiday to Zimbabwe. Oct 17, 2012. The Irish Times carried an opinion piece in 2011 by one of its then most prominent columnists with the heading, ' Africa is giving nothing to anyone — apart from AIDS. The Republic of Ireland had a booming economy until the financial crisis of 2008. A property bubble burst, sending the economy reeling, throwing many people off kilter. It may have...8221;...

The Zimbabwe Review: Alarming disconnect between Zimbabwe banking sector and its customers

http://www.thezimbabwereview.co.zw/2012/10/zimbabwe-banking-sector-is-from-mars.html

Zimbabwe-related analysis and opinion. Alarming disconnect between Zimbabwe banking sector and its customers. Oct 22, 2012. No one seems to love Zimbabwe's banks at the moment. It is hardly surprising that the banking sector feels put upon. Let's examine some of the banks' responses to this onslaught of criticism. Catch your bank doing something right. Banks do not always make enough effort to inform the banking public about such good things," writes our banking sector defender. It is all very well to pu...

The Zimbabwe Review: The two-toed people of Zimbabwe

http://www.thezimbabwereview.co.zw/2010/09/two-toed-people-of-zimbabwe.html

Zimbabwe-related analysis and opinion. The two-toed people of Zimbabwe. Sep 29, 2010. I stumbled across this account about a group of two-toed people in the Zambezi Valley of Zimbabwe. Their condition is said to result from a known genetic condition called ‘ectrodactyly,’ in which the middle three toes on each foot are missing. I will not reproduce the whole article here and hope that the link. To it will remain active, but here are the material highlights:. Apart from these somewhat tiresome, crudely im...

The Zimbabwe Review: The strange collaboration between religious fundamentalism and Zimbabwe's media

http://www.thezimbabwereview.co.zw/2012/10/the-strange-collaboration-between.html

Zimbabwe-related analysis and opinion. The strange collaboration between religious fundamentalism and Zimbabwe's media. Oct 22, 2012. Constitutionally Zimbabwe is a secular state. In practice, large sectors of the society have adopted a deep attachment to various types of the basic Christianity that was introduced by the European colonists more than a century ago. Somehow most people are able to navigate between expressed belief in the fairly recently introduced-to-the society religion and older ...But a...

The Zimbabwe Review: Is the aid-dependent neocolonialism in Malawi what would be in store for Zimbabwe under an MDC government?

http://www.thezimbabwereview.co.zw/2012/06/is-aid-dependent-neocolonialism-in.html

Zimbabwe-related analysis and opinion. Is the aid-dependent neocolonialism in Malawi what would be in store for Zimbabwe under an MDC government? Jun 1, 2012. The statistic that Malawi depends for more than a third of its annual budget on donors has been oft repeated in recent times, with 'mama Britain' and the EU, and 'papa America' contributing the bulk of that external support. But part of both the spoken and unspoken deal about aid is that you receive it only if you behave in a certain way. And so Br...

The Zimbabwe Review: The real origins of the ZIFA soccer cheating scandal

http://www.thezimbabwereview.co.zw/2012/10/the-real-origins-of-zifa-soccer.html

Zimbabwe-related analysis and opinion. The real origins of the ZIFA soccer cheating scandal. Oct 23, 2012. There is a huge, terrible new 'crisis' in Zimbabwe that is causing much public gnashing of teeth and weeping and wailing. It threatened to eclipse this week's Harare constitutional conference. It diverted media and public attention away from the sexscapades of the randy prime minister. What new calamity has befallen hapless Zimbabwe? What is sport about after all? Similarly, a sports star who may ha...
