An Unblinkered Look at Africa

Joan Baxter eloquently exposes the diversity of Africa, the injustices Africans have faced and the strengths that have helped them weather adversity.

Demystifying Aid

Yash Tandon

Demystifying Aid This pamphlet from Pambazuka Press shows that 'development aid' is not what it purports to be - the effects of actions of well-meaning allies in the North who support aid to Africa for reasons of ethics or solidarity are, unfortunately, the opposite of their good intentions.

Perspectives on Emerging Powers in Africa: December 2011 newsletter

Deborah Brautigam provides an overview and description of China's development finance to Africa. "Looking at the nature of Chinese development aid - and non-aid - to Africa provides insights into China's strategic approach to outward investment and economic diplomacy, even if exact figures and strategies are not easily ascertained", she states as she describes China's provision of grants, zero-interest loans and concessional loans. Pambazuka Press recently released a publication titled India in Africa: Changing Geographies of Power, and Oliver Stuenkel provides his review of the book.
The December edition available here.

The 2010 issues: September, October, November, December, and the 2011 issues: January, February, March , April, May , June , July , August , September, October and November issues are all available for download.

"Umvuthwandaba Voice" meaning The End of Revelations is a publication that pushes the agenda of new formation of the Zimbabwean politics. In a sense that the youth of Zimbabwe would want to riot now and cause a dramatic change in the leadership of any of the front political parties, it might be Zapu, Mdc, and Zanu PF. This has been brought about the youths that are in UK, South Africa and Botswana. In our view we need to see a man or woman age below 35yrs of Age taking the podium as the new President of Zimbabwe.

On the second note having Zimbabwe ruled by State governors in three States namely; Matabeleland, Mashonaland and Manicaland. Each state will use its natural resources in their state and benefit from them; this will be the some on their farming, industrials sectors. If a person belongs to Mashonaland and want to work in Matebelend he will do that under a permit depending on his skill otherwise all laborers will be from that State. why do we say so, we have seen a divide and rule that only put one tribe in the front and at the some time eliminate the other tribes which is unacceptable with many of the youths

Farmers and Miners

All farmers who were chased away by Mugabe should be brought back to their lands, the change will be that they will have to occupy only 60% of what they used to own before then accommodate new other farmers on the 40% of their land. Those on the 40% will with the help of the owner of the land work in hand and the products sold under the name of the owner of the land.

Education.

The system will change and bring back the Cambridge system, which is an international standard.

Presidential and Ministerial Offices

All this will change, to forced transformation of only one term in the office unless re elected. The presidential office will be renamed to: The Servant Office One and the some with Ministerial office to Servant office (name) e.g.: Sport, Culture and Education. This will make the ppl in those offices understand their ppl and the ppls position.

Media

This will bring in new players and stations in radio, television and print media for all languages in Zimbabwe. Privatised.

Military and Police Security

Whether airforce, ground, marines and police will work under one roof of the State..

Above a major units that will need major changes then be driven across the nation and implemented at the some time. Correct us if we are wrong.

Now we have recognised the stand that you have taken looking at your biography. We need your help in bringing in all the white brothers and sisters that where driven away by Mugabe and his people. We need to engage them as soon as possible so that we start to move with this plan before the election process begins. We can't wait any longer we have suffered that's enough man..

Emailing us the contacts of the farmers/miners or other former citizens you know will help us drive this agenda.
