return of the tsvangi

Well look, a couple of mates had a wager on how long the PM would stay out of government. We had as the fifth and latest the seventh and guess what. The average was correct.

I am sure he has a point and so does the old guy but we need to work and as long as they are throwing forks at each other the country is suffering.

Come now boys. It's gone for long enough. The people of Zimbabwe will outgrow both of you in a minute because they are beginning to feel as if they are teachers and you are a bunch of pre-school kids fighting over who gets the play-dough today

USD550 to watch tevin campbell and horace brown? you kidding me?

So you will know that we are not big fans of the whole Tevin Campbell and Horace Brown bouncing into Harare for a one-off show.

So imagine the horror when we found out that the show was going to cost you 550 bucks to watch. Granted they said you could meet the so-called stars and have a meal there but for 550 dollars? Obviously they are smoking something we're not.

Now the standard ticket is put at 35 dollars. And I almost fell off my seat. This 35 dollars business is just not on. I mean from this site here a John Legend and Keri Hilson ticket was ranging between $27 and $40 including all the goodies and stuff. Now we are talking about current stars John Legend and Keri Hilson here not some washed up back of beyond has-beens who are just attempting to milk Zimbabwe as if money is flowing out of pot-holes.

It is immoral. Immoral I tell you.

miss tourism zimbabwe receives send-off

Liquid Lounge was the place and the suits were there. of cause ZTA head honcho Karikoga Kaseke was there and so was ZCT president Emmanuel Fundira.

It started late (of course it wouldn't be quite Zimbabwean if it didn't) and felt disjointed at most times but it was amusing at best. They need to do something about the sound and the dj... errr let me keep quiet about that.

Then the Vanessa Sibanda girl gave a speech that was, erm... I don't know and she did some lip-synching. We know it was because of MacDee's love for autotune. The song was one that was in the moment but it wasn't particularly Zimbabwean. And they wanted to sell it at $10 for each copy. That was pushing it. Really pushing it. A copy. One song. $10. I would like to smoke some of what they are smoking.

Then Alexio performed a...

Gosh this is beginning to sound like report. WTF!

In short, Vanessa is a sweet girl. That is as much as I would say. And I wish a whole heap of luck.

And some of the girls from the next miss zimbabwe tourism thing looked hmm... like hell yeah. And Kiki Divaris at 85... Nuff sed!

geriatrics to come out to watch horace brown and tevin campbell

So it has been confirmed that two musicians who were cool when jerry curls, baggy pants and box cuts were cool are making their way to Harare in December some time.

We are not in the business of hating but what the hell? Sure they were the indigO2 with Jon B the other day and Tevin Campbell performed at the BET awards but in as far being dated is concerned, even the Macarena can claim to be more recent than them.

So you will find a crowd trying to rediscover the form of yesteryear at the concerts, which will essentially mean people round about ages prancing about and singing 'One for the Money' and 'Can We Talk' on that night.

And just for that night they will feel cool because they know the words to the songs. But seriously... WTF!

if the egyptian were wrong ..... :-)

many times we have heard historians concluding that the hieroglyphics that the Egyptians used are complicated and a very primitive form of communicating and that the advanced civilizations especially from the west developed a more advanced form- written language as we know it today, now without taking anything away from anyone's civilization our question is why are we then back to smileys...

$2.3 billion deals for Tourism? is that a joke?

So the politicking has started. The spin has begun. ZTA boss Karikoga Kaseke has spoken of a mystery 2.3bn dollars in deals having been made between Zimbabwean tourism industry practitioners and external investors.

That sounds sweet but I am thinking, from where? I know spin when I see spin and the statement is filled with so many non-specifics that it feels like a bit of a joke.

If there was a real 2.3bn then there would be all kinds of details thrown about. There would be one big party going on but I don't see anyone doing cartwheels down Samora Machel Avenue.

Of course the old codger could come up with a dossier and make us look like a bunch of fools but ten bucks says he doesnt... And another ten bucks says in a few weeks there will be an excuse offered as to why that money hasn't come through and we suspect it might have something to do with...
