Bulawayo at 125 – Repositioning Bulawayo for the future

Opinion: Dumisani Nkomo

This week, Bulawayo will celebrate its 125th annivesary amid pleas and cries for the city to be restored to its former glory days as the industrial hub of the country as it was in the sixties and seventies.

I would like to argue, as I have consistently done, that the Bulawayo of the 60s and 70s cannot be re-created.
