Dear Zimbabweans
It’s hard to be a foreigner in another country but it’s even more excruciating to feel like a foreigner in your OWN country. Where your basic humans rights are violated and formal justice to uphold your rights is tampered with.
Vote for Change. #CCC
My advice to young Zimbabwean people from the bottom of my heart speaking from experience is that if you can leave the country, PLEASE LEAVE NOW!
Don’t waste your youthful days doing nothing when people of your age are progressing elsewhere.
I left Zimbabwe at 23 in 1994 and was able to build the foundation to the life I live today in Britain from my education to my award winning professional career.
I would never have done it in Zimbabwe with only ONE TV station owned by the Government and a collapsed economy run by corrupt politicians.
I secured visas for all my young family members in the past 20 years so that they could have the same head-start I got in life because I knew that they would grow old with nothing to their name if they stayed in Zimbabwe.
Some have now moved from Britain to Australia because they had an opportunity to build their lives in a country where things worked.
The politicians in Zimbabwe have no viable plan for you, you either choose propaganda or you choose to build yourself.
Zimbabwe is a broken nation with no opportunities for young people except for those of a criminal type or those linked to political elites.
I am 52 years old, there are people of my age who have never had a title deed in their name, there are people of my age who have never been on holiday, the same will happen to you if you stick around doing nothing hoping for a miracle to happen.
There are many opportunities for young people across the world, start as a carer in Britain and build yourself up.
Don’t say that nobody didn’t tell you!
Life is one big road with loads of signs, you choose which sign to follow.
To those who have left the country, learn something from my journey, DON’T forget those that you left behind.
Sending them money to buy bread is a sign of responsibility, but it won’t change their lives, you will end up resenting them because they will become an irritating financial burden to you.
Help them get out!
I want to end by saying this, politicians earn their living by selling dreams, it is up to you whether you want to live in Lala-Land or you want to do something about your sorry circumstances.
Zimbabwe is a mess, it will be a mess for a long time unless a miracle happens or someone fearless emerges to take on the corrupt elites and bring revolutionary change.
The current political actors have no ability to change anything or to help you change your lives.
LEAVE and if you do, remember those that you left behind.
RETWET if you agree with this message so that others can see it too!
🟡As stated by President @nelsonchamisa earlier today, the @CCCZimbabwe National Citizens’ Assembly resolved that all deployees to Parliament & Local Authorities disengage with immediate effect on account of the constitutional crisis triggered by the flawed election & the unconstitutional conduct of Zanu PF.
🟡ZANU PF has turned Parliament into a crime scene. After failing to get a two thirds majority despite mass rigging, political violence, vote buying, voter suppression, gerrymandering, imposition of fake candidates & electoral fraud, they’re now turning to brazen fraudulent recalls of duly elected Parliamentarians. There grubby fingerprints are all over this choreographed chaos. It won’t succeed. Not this time.🇿🇼
🟡You can’t call in riot police each time you lose a debate against us in Parliament. We are in Parliament to debate & not fight. Use the Constitution, the law & the Standing Orders. Not force. Why did the Police assault honourable members today? It’s not a crime to be the voice of the people.
ZIMBABWE IS IN A DEEP POLITICAL CRISIS AS A RESULT OF A FLAWED AND DISPUTED ELECTION…Partisan capture of state institutions is criminal. Zpf is not Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is not Zpf. Parliament is supposed to make laws not break them. Zimbabwe shall be free! A luta continua!
On the 11th of September, we wrote to the speaker of parliement in relation to our party representation. For Mudenda to choose a letter written to him on the 4th is a clear attempt to collapse government. We reject such fascism!

This is a Go-Fund to raise funds to help Zimbabwean political prisoner Job Sikhala who is severely ill in Chikurubi Prison.
Donate any amount to assist this man who has been denied bail and imprisoned for over 483 days.
PLEASE RETWEET
https://t.co/e5XePnXpwP
FREE JOB SIKHALA IMMEDIATELY!
I am deeply concerned about the fact that Hon Job Sikhala is seriously ill in Chikurubi Maximum Prison. In particular the fact that he has blood in his stools is a very serious condition which requires urgent and expert medical attention which is denied to him at present.
This would be bad enough if he was a convicted criminal but he is an opposition politician and respected lawyer who has been denied bail and a fair trial since June last year.
The oppressors have callously disregarded our pleas in the past and so I now call on the international community, particularly leaders within SADC, to express concern and to call for his immediate release to obtain specialized medical attention.
When icons like Nelson Mandela were held unjustly the world spoke out against the brutal apartheid regime’s unjust treatment of him. This situation requires the same to be done urgently. For our part we will continue to do all in our power to secure his release from detention.

IN MATEBELELAND SOUTH.. Solid support here. The Citizens Interface has one clear message; that the 2023 elections were deeply flawed. The whole nation is united in the chorus for a proper solution and political settlement that deals with all the citizens’
concerns. The Citizens are clear!
Our people need decent jobs, decent education, decent healthcare, a functional public transport system, safe, clean and portable water, well tarred streets and roads, well lite streets in every neigbourhood, funtional SOEs, accessible and reliable energy as well as the freedom to freely express themselves in all facets of life. That’s all- a society that works for everyone
I’M IN MIDLANDS at the Citizens Interface with cluster leaders from across the province. Thank you fellow Citizens for your solid support. The next steps are clear! A flawed election can not stand! #OnePeople
🟡#RETWEET In this 5min read, you can get to understand the Mutapa Investment Fund - a new looting vehicle that will be hidden from public scrutiny.
Zimbabwe’s Sovereign Wealth Fund - What Mr Mnangagwa has done & why you must be worried: https://t.co/bWiIQknbkv
🟡NO TO ANOTHER 5 YEARS OF LOOTING: The recent establishment of the Mutapa Investment Fund by the Harare regime warrants condemnation from all citizens.
This fund was not created to benefit the country's economy or its citizens; instead, it serves as another scheme for looting that provides personal benefits to Mr. Mnangagwa, his relatives, and their close associates.
It is alarming to note that over 20 state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are now under the control of this illegal and fraudulent Investment Fund.
And these SOEs will not be subjected to the regulations outlined in the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act. It is critical that we voice our disapproval and advocate for fresh elections to prevent further misuse of power. #NotAnother5Years #FreshElectionsZW🇿🇼
Below are some of the state-owned enterprises under the Mutapa Investment Fund:
- POSB
- Netone Cellular
- National Railways of Zimbabwe Holdings and NRZ Ltd
- TelOne
- Powertel
- Allied Timbers
- Telecel Zimbabwe
- Defold Mine
- ZUPCO
- Kuvimba
- Silo Investments
- National Oil Company of Zimbabwe
- Cold Storage Commission
- Petrotrade
- Arda Seeds
- Zimbabwe Power Company
- Air Zimbabwe
- Industrial Development Corporation
- Cottco
- AFC Limited
- Hwange Colliery
Former South African President Thabo Mbeki has advised President Emmerson Mnangagwa to do what is in the interest of Zimbabwe not his personal interest after the shambolic Zimbabwean general election in August.
President Mbeki said that the SADC report said that the election didn’t represent the will of the people.
He was speaking on the sidelines of the ongoing United Nations General Assembly in New York.
We have began our Citizens interface to converse and articulate our program of action. All the election observation missions including SADC confirmed that the recently ended elections were marred with irregularities that undermined the legitimacy of the whole electoral process.#FreshElectionsZW
