This is Zimbabwe, as a blog, has maintain the currency in its writings. The most recent posts have always about the campaign before the election, the election, and the issue within the election. However, since this blog has been maintain since 2005, far before the election and the tension in Zimbabwe, Sokwanele has been able to created a media for Zimbabweans to receive more information and analysis on living in Zimbabwe.
The topics range from economy into human interest and even Rhino conservation in Zimbabwe. As a blog, Sokwanele has become an alternative media for Zimbabweans to know better what is happening in Zimbabwe. Within those range of issues, each posting has one specific purpose, which is to criticize the Zimbabwean government. Oddly, a posting about Coca-Cola could be a critic on the Zimbabwean government. The posting said that Coca-Cola is rationed in Zimbabwe, and why such government who ration Coca-Cola could stay in power.
The early posting of This Is Zimbabwe all are about observation. I believed at this stage Sokwanele has not tried to be critical with the government and just tried to be an observer of what happened in Zimbabwe. An early posting, “Courage at corner of 23rd ave/plumtree Rd”, observed a number of people with MDC’s flag in the side of the road.
