BY KENNETH NYANGANI MUTASA South MP Regai Tsunga (MDC Alliance) yesterday described the late Africa University (AU) vice-chancellor (VC) Munashe Furusa, who died on Wednesday, as an international academic who contributed a lot to manpower development in Zimbabwe. AU is within Tsunga’s constituency and the MP said Furusa passed on at a time they were working together to come up with solutions to the threat of illegal gold mining after some miners encroached onto the university premises. Tsunga said this was after Furusa had expressed concern that the illegal miners were vandalising the university’s agricultural equipment, including irrigation pipes. “I am deeply saddened to learn of the untimely passing away of Furusa, the VC of Africa University located in our Mutasa South constituency,” Tsunga told NewsDay Weekender in an interview. “Before my election to Parliament, I worked with Furusa in charity work under the auspices of the Africa University Charity Golf Committee. He demonstrated unparalleled philanthropic demeanour as several orphanages around Manicaland province benefited from his work,” he said. Tsunga described Furusa as a visionary who was hard-working and impactful as he managed to make AU an internationally recognised institution of choice for students and academic staff. “The university has become a leader, not only in teaching, research and community service, but also in innovation and industrialisation as evidenced by several patented products on the market and the high quality of their educational inputs, processes, outputs, outcomes and impacts. “Furusa leaves an indelible mark on the international academic landscape through immeasurable contribution to manpower development of Zimbabwe and elsewhere,” he said. Tsunga said the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science and Technology Development had plans to visit Africa University as a model innovation hub among institutions of higher learning. “We are poorer without him, my heartfelt condolences to the Furusa family and the AU during their grief and mourning,” he said.

Stir The Pot :Paidamoyo Muzulu LAST week Zimbabwe was in a sort of frenzy politically. Political activists and the embattled President Emmerson Mnangagwa government were all concerned about the South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s special envoys that were coming to hear and find more on the country’s problems. Political activists and opposition attributed Ramaphosa’s dispatching of envoys to Zimbabwe on “alleged” success of an online campaign #ZimbabweanLivesMatter. The campaign had received endorsements from South African opposition parties, artistes, sportspersons and activists. Western embassies too endorsed the hashtag. Mnangagwa’s government has been struggling to deliver on social services as well as correcting former President Robert Mugabe’s economic mess. The new dispensation has spectacularly failed after all the goodwill it received despite assuming power via a military coup in November 2017. The Mnangagwa administration has gone on overdrive to consolidate power, crush dissent and upped the levels of public sector corruption. These issues are a recipe for disaster and the opposition and activists always smell an opportunity to push for change. Ramaphosa’s intervention, like former South Africa President Thabo Mbeki in 2007, is meant to avert a contagious political disaster in the region. Zimbabwe has a central place in Sadc, both economically and politically. Any serious political or economic implosion portends danger to the region. In other words, Zimbabwe is walking back in time. It is becoming the proverbial incarnation of the adage — history has a tendency of repeating itself. Zimbabwe is back to where it was in 2007 — a flailing economy, closed democratic space and more importantly an administration clueless on how to walk out of the morass. Mbeki then proposed a series of talks that culminated into a Global Political Agreement and subsequent government of national unity. The Zanu PF and MDC formations coalition then had to implement a cocktail of reforms — both economic and political — but nothing really came out of it by 2013 when the country held fresh polls. The only fruit of the coalition government was a new Constitution. However, the document has been heavily decimated in the past seven years. The country is back to imperial presidency that Mugabe introduced in 1987 — a presidency that is not answerable to anyone, a presidency that influences everything, but remains unaccountable. The reform agenda failed primarily because of elite cohesion and the general populace belief that politicians know best. It failed because we worship personalities — we never ask them to account. And this time around, the reform agenda will fail again because it remains as opaque as it was in 2007. What is the shape and form of reforms that Zimbabwe need? This question has not been answered comprehensively. Whenever an attempt is done, it is buried in euphemisms. No one breaks it down in simple terms and have a conversation with the citizens about the nuts and bolts of the reforms. Economically, discussing the r
