It is difficult to comprehend how a national broadcaster of ZiFM’s stature, on a programme hosted by the equally high-profile MisRed, could designate Fadzayi Mahere as Zimbabwean of the Year. In 2025, her public profile has been defined less by constructive national contribution and more by a sustained pattern of antagonism towards, and disparagement of, the country’s leadership.
This raises serious questions about the standards applied in reaching such a determination. What objective criteria were employed? On what empirical basis was the selection made? And to whom, exactly, does this outcome purport to speak? It is far from clear that the decision reflects the views, priorities, or lived realities of Zimbabwe as a whole.
