The Zimbabwe that I want to see is a Zimbabwe that is not politically supercharged, a Zimbabwe where extremism and radicalism are eliminated and all people work together towards a common goal.

The Zimbabwean has fought long and hard for Zimbabwe’s true freedom from oppression, not the fake one that was delivered at independance. Wilf and Trish Mbanga sacrificed living in their beloved country – going to a foreign land to set up The Zimbabwean and have been diligent and unrelenting in their fight to bring us the hard facts of what was happening in Zimbabwe. In the New Zimbabwe I would like to see them back in the land of their birth and establishing their paper and other papers here, where they belong. – Lorna Kelly
