EITA!: No news is good news
http://lenoxmhlanga.blogspot.com/2013/09/no-news-is-good-news.html
A Blog by Lenox Mhlanga. Monday, September 9. No news is good news. Judging by the casual glance at today's papers, it seems there is no news of significance except excluding The Herald who are in a class of their own in incredulity. I won't even post their link here for you to judge because it would be patently embarrasing. Monday, September 09, 2013. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

EITA!: March 2012
http://lenoxmhlanga.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
A Blog by Lenox Mhlanga. Friday, March 23. Read my lips: The newspaper is going nowhere. I just read an article that says that the writing is on the wall for newspapers in Zimbabwe. The writer quotes statistics released by the Zimbabwe All Media Products Survey (Zamps). The reason given is that they are slow in waking up to the reality that is the internet. Online publications are becoming the in thing and newspapers are headed for the dustbin. We are not at liberty to discuss the hygienic demerits of do...

EITA!: Police roadblocks are a pain
http://lenoxmhlanga.blogspot.com/2012/04/police-roadblocks-are-pain.html
A Blog by Lenox Mhlanga. Saturday, April 21. Police roadblocks are a pain. The carnage on Zimbabwe’s roads hit the headlines once again and true to form the statistics were nothing short of scary. However, sure to steal the thunder from road fatalities were the number of road blocks on the highways. As Zimbabweans in the nearby diaspora travelled home for the long holiday, they did so in fear and trepidation, not of carjacking or thugs, but of the police. This has been vociferously denied by the police t...

EITA!: October 2011
http://lenoxmhlanga.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
A Blog by Lenox Mhlanga. Thursday, October 27. National budget a load of bull? Why do we dread budget time? Is it because there is little good news new, if any, that comes out of such an exercise, particularly when it comes to relief in times of economic hardship. Apart from the reality of having very little cash to play around with, Minister Biti presents a statement whose principal challenge is to whether the ordinary man will be able to skim through all that verbiage and understand the facts. Ther...

EITA!: How ‘Salarygate’ poisoned reputations Part One
http://lenoxmhlanga.blogspot.com/2014/08/how-salarygate-poisoned-reputations.html
A Blog by Lenox Mhlanga. Saturday, August 2. How ‘Salarygate’ poisoned reputations Part One. HEN the news of what is now known as “salarygate” broke out in the Zimbabwean media, there was shock and outrage right across all levels of society. Yet what seemed to escape the attention of many was the untold damage the revelations were doing to the reputations of the organisations headed by the chief executives accused of alleged impropriety. From a public relations point of view, most of the affected public ...

A Blog by Lenox Mhlanga. Tuesday, April 19. Surviving the UK: The Truth and the Lies. Wondered what it was REALLY like going to the United Kingdom to look for the proverbial pot of gold? A Zimbabwean friend of mine (who else? Gave me some raw insight in this no-holds-barred, blow by blow dose of reality. Employment was a reason for you being there - correction - employment was the ONLY reason. The aim was to get a job at the earliest opportunity after surviving Gatwick. You had a number of option...If yo...

A Blog by Lenox Mhlanga. Wednesday, July 27. Raising the flag and not the fist in Zim. He even told me that he was the ‘culprit’ behind some intriguing columns in the independent press under various pseudonyms as recently as just a month ago! But then I digress. Maliki, at our chance meeting along Jason Moyo Street in Bulawayo lamented the fact that we were running the danger of becoming irrelevant. By ‘we’ he meant the aging generation of columnists and cartoonists. He went on to...We all know that the ...

EITA!: December 2010
http://lenoxmhlanga.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
A Blog by Lenox Mhlanga. Thursday, December 2. When is a rumour a Wiki-rumour? Press has been on a feeding frenzy of late. It reminds me of the English literature exam passage that nearly cost me an ‘A’ in the subject. It described how the most voracious fish known to man, the piranha of the Amazon, would go through its prey in seconds flat after being attracted by the slightest hint of blood in the water. Take note that the issue here has nothing to do with authenticity or veracity but rather, who has t...
