A group of 'concerned' Bishops parents are up in arms over what it calls a rapid change in the school's culture, spirit and identity - the parents have also taken umbrage with the school's decision to fly the Pride flag with the Bishops flag.
For 22 years the only solution envisaged for the political crisis in Zimbabwe has been the resort to elections, with the forlorn hope that an internationally accepted election result would guarantee the legitimacy for the country to re-engage with the international community.

who took over after Mugabe.
The economic collapse left behind by Mugabe after 37 years in power was staggering.
