CHARLES ANYASI ...VINTAGE ARCHIVES: THE SPOILERS IN OUR MIDST
THE SPOILERS IN OUR MIDST


While responding to a question from the presenter, yesterday, at the Investments Café (LTV 8 / DSTV 129), as part of a four-man panel examining the economic importance of credible elections, I stated that the current bombing in some areas of the country are the handi-work of some fifth columnists operating in the manner of dogs in the manger. The moderator interjected humorously; “You mean spoilers?). It immediately reminded me of an article I did in the Sunday Concord titled The honourable babas in 1004 flats.
Please read the article and make up your mind not to be part of the spoilers in the nation.

As we return to the polling booths to cast our votes, let us be determined never to be reduced to street beggars in foreign lands. The opportunity is ours now. Vote wisely.
