Hi James, thanks for the honest feedback.I always appreciate this,I'm sure you can tell by my interaction on twitter & other social media tools that I encourage other people's views etc in the hope that we both learn and grow from the interaction.
The main reason for the live event on Thursday relates to the topic itself. Some of the diaspora population are now back or coming back for the holidays so it was seen as a perfect opportunity to reach out and connect with them by discussing issues that seem to affect them more than us 'Zim Locals'. Many want to return, some are frustrated with their current situations 'over there', some simply want to link up and connect - share/exchange ideas etc. Allowing for that space was seen as a positive thing. Organisations like NewsDay and the US Embassy came onboard as a result of this vision so hopefully the event will be worth it for those who attend and those who follow the discussion online.
