Africans! When an accident occurs, their first instinct is to loot.

We are a terrible bunch of humans.

Jesus Christ has no business returning to such nonsense.

The richest man in Africa, seated on a panel with the CEO of TotalEnergies, said he needs 35 visas to travel on the continent, whereas the Frenchman doesn't need all those by virtue of his French passport, and invests easily.

3.3 billion people – approximately 40 per cent of the global population – live in countries that spend more of their revenue on interest payments than on health or education.

Back to office and guess who has checked in on me. @elvis_mugume! We talked before Covid about his dream to manufacture computers. We lost touch. Today he has brought me his laptop manufactured in Uganda and going at a very low cost!! @NITAUganda1 approved!!
Congratulations to the team at @MaceInvestments. These are the entrepreneurs we believe in and Uganda should embrace them. #BUBU to the World.

Dear Africans,

This is Zimbabwean political activist Jacob Ngarivhume @NgarivhumeJacob who was jailed for 4 years in Zimbabwe on Friday because of this video which was made in 2020.

He was calling on Zimbabwean citizens to demonstrate peacefully and without violence against corruption which has destroyed Zimbabwe’s economy and killed many citizens from easily treatable diseases.

Under Section 58 of the 2013 Constitution of Zimbabwe, everyone has the right to freedom of assembly.

Under Section 59, everyone has the right to demonstrate and to present petitions, but these rights must be exercised peacefully.

In this video, Jacob Ngarivhume clearly states that the demonstrations must be peaceful and non-violent.

But because Zimbabwe’s courts are being used by the ruling ZANUPF to silence any political dissent before the imminent elections, Ngarivhume was convicted and sentenced to 4 years with one year suspended.

He will serve an effective 3 years in prison if nothing is done about his plight and this outrageous miscarriage of Justice!

Is this what you as Africans expect from African Governments to silence people calling for the end of corruption?

Please Africans, let the whole continent know about Jacob’s miscarriage of Justice by retweeting and sharing this tweet and message.

An injustice to one African is an injustice to all Africans.
The rest of the world laughs at us as Africans because of these embarrassing moments of our history.

A man can not be jailed for asking corrupt politicians to stop stealing public funds, and for asking the victims of that corruption to speak out peacefully using their constitutionally guaranteed rights.

The whole of Zimbabwe doesn’t have a single working radiotherapy cancer treatment machine in all public hospitals.

2500 pregnant Zimbabwe women die every year giving birth because there are no maternity theaters.

The biggest hospital in Zimbabwe only has ONE maternity theater built by the colonial government in 1977, yet it only costs US$37,000 to build a maternity theater.

Central hospitals also known as referral hospitals have no paracetamol or basic medicines like betadine.

The ruling elites have looted and plundered billions of dollars and natural resources in the last 5 years.

For simply asking them to stop this, they have sent Jacob Ngarivhume to prison for 4 years to serve an effective 3 years!
This is ridiculous and UNACCEPTABLE!

Please spread the message, Jacob needs his plight known by all progressive Africans both home and abroad!

The punishment handed down by Magistrate Feresi Chakanyuka to Jacob Ngarivhume shows that there is very little hope of Zimbabwean pro-democracy activists getting a fair trial at the magistrates courts.

This is no longer just a Zimbabwean issue, it is now an issue for all Africans who care about the future of this continent to speak about!

This is not just about Jacob, it is about all the Africans who die because of the thieving of public resources by greedy and corrupt politicians.

It is about an attempt to silence all political activists who are fighting for Africans to have a decent life!

Your voice and ability to share this message can help not only Jacob, but all Africans living under modern day political bondage and political oppression like Jacob!
