“Mugabe should be life President & he will rule from his grave” — Grace Mugabe.

Those were the days, Grace Mugabe & Kudzai Chipanga were seemingly unstoppable but we all know how it ended.

Now history is on repeat … Tungwarara, Ziyambi & others definitely feel like they are unstoppable. Let’s see how it ends.

On CAB 3

I am a representative of the people of Kadoma. I was elected to represent them, not to surrender their sovereignty.

In our community conversations, - at after church meetings, during interactions at funerals and weddings, in engagements with parents at school functions, In the streets, and even at our local gym - the message from the citizens is clear:

“Mwanangu, panyaya yeBumbiro, tambai nezvimwe; chitupa hachiwachigwi!”

For these reasons and many other, and in fidelity to the people of Kadoma and the Constitution of Zimbabwe, I CANNOT support this Bill.

Saka nhasi kutogwa naro chaizvo…

Madzibaba veShanduko has been found not guilty after spending months in detention for an offence he did not commit. While we welcome his acquittal, we must not lose sight of the injustice he endured. An innocent man spent months behind bars for a case that has now been dismissed. His acquittal is not only a vindication of his innocence but also an indictment of a system that subjected him to unlawful and unnecessary detention. #NoTo2030

[Dhara Blessed Mhlanga @bbmhlanga]

We must never allow our spirit to be killed by dictators, our nations must never be allowed to die, prisoners of conscience deserve our support, CAB3 must be resisted and power must be given to the people.

This was the position during the days of the liberation struggle. What changed comrades?

[Chakona_Nyasha @NYASHA_CHAKONA]

Sometime back, we travelled to Lupane State University to campaign for our ZINASU presidential candidate. Little did we know that the State had already deployed its CIO apparatus to monitor our activities.

After a successful campaign, out of nowhere, university security guards approached us and demanded that we gather in a room. Naturally, we asked why. Their response was chilling, a truck was on its way to collect us and take us to a police station for further investigations.

I immediately called the then ZINASU National Secretary-General @DevineNyakudya and the then Legal Secretary @FanuelGona28265 to raise the alarm. They advised us to cooperate fully, reminding us that we had done nothing wrong.

A few hours later, detectives arrived. They proceeded to interrogate us and demanded our national identity cards. Eventually, they ordered us onto a bus. Just as things appeared to be escalating, they received a phone call and suddenly decided to release us.

What we did not know at the time was that state agents had been deployed to follow us throughout Lupane.

The man with the bald head in the picture, dressed entirely in black, was one of those monitoring us. He followed us from place to place and would occasionally position himself close enough to listen in on our conversations and hear what we were discussing.

To confirm our suspicions, we devised a simple test. Together with other comrades, @DenfordSithole , @KeeganMathe , @Prof2212 , and @SheCommander1 we deliberately boarded a bus that was heading to Victoria Falls. Moments later, we got off and made our way to the correct bus that would take us back to Bulawayo. To our surprise but perhaps not our shock the same individual immediately got off the Victoria Falls bus and boarded the very bus we had switched to.

That moment confirmed what we had already begun to suspect, we were being watched.

Yet despite all of this, we remain unshaken.

I will always carry the voices of students who refuse to be ignored. That is my mandate, regardless of how the State may choose to mischaracterise it.

I will never apologise for standing firmly with poor and struggling students, with unjustly arrested students, and with those who continue to be marginalised by a system deliberately designed to favour those with the means to exercise privilege.

The struggle for justice, dignity, and academic freedom is bigger than any attempt to intimidate us into silence.

I will continue to uphold those ideals for as long as I am Chakona Nyasha.

Yours in the struggle for Academic Freedom @Zinasuzim

[Uvert Ngoma @Ngoma_U_theDRUM]

This mirrors a nation where unemployment, currency collapse, failing hospitals and broken education silence millions daily. We are a generation denied justice, dignity and a future in our own country. To whom it may concern can we fix the economy while criminalizing these voices?

This is Pieter ‘Willem’ Botha. The man who was responsible for bombings & random attacks in Zimbabwe & other frontline states in the 80s.

He was a hardline apartheid-era leader who served as South Africa’s Prime Minister from 1978 to 1984 & then as the first executive State President from 1984 to 1989.

He was nicknamed ‘Die Groot Krokodil’ (The Big Crocodile) for his ruthless & radical style. He was the last major defender of white-minority rule before de Klerk began dismantling apartheid.

Under his rule South Africa carried out cross-border raids, bombings & sabotage to destroy ANC bases, training camps & safe houses in these in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 & other frontline states including Mozambique 🇲🇿 & Zambia 🇿🇲 as part of his ‘total strategy’ to counter the perceived total onslaught by the ANC & communist backed liberation movements.

His agenda was to destabilise the SADC region, weaken governments responsible for supporting the anti apartheid guerrillas & ultimately protect white minority rule in South Africa.

Botha firmly believed that there would never be black majority rule in South Africa.
