🔸Robert Mugabe was awful but we never heard him ban elections altogether. The elections were hugely flawed but he at least understood the need for the veneer of a mandate from the people.
This lot want to mangle the Constitution on the pretext that elections are “bad”. They are terrified of the will of the people. Is that the one-man, one vote democracy that our forebears went to war for? If you are that amazing and loved by the masses, why do you fear elections? If these amendments are popular, why are you running scared of a properly-administered referendum?
Can you now see why Zimbabweans say you are worse than Robert Mugabe?
We need new leaders.🇿🇼
This heartbreaking moment is just before 34-year-old Zimbabwean musician Tatenda Pinjisi died after an accident on his way to a show in Kadoma.
He died in Zimbabwe’s biggest hospital, Sally Mugabe Hospital, formerly known as Harare Hospital (paGomo).
I have spoken to a doctor who works there. There were no lights, and the nurses had to use a cellphone torch, as you can see in the video.
There were no painkillers, as you can hear him begging for Pain-Eeze, a local painkiller only meant for moderate pain. This is a man who had broken bones, he died in excruciating pain. He suffered!
The doctor told me that what he needed was a strong painkiller, but as I often report here, there was nothing available to give him.
The doctor said no patient should die like this from a road accident if they have managed to reach a central hospital alive. But in Zimbabwe, you die because there is nothing in the public hospitals, absolutely nothing.
Tatenda should not have died, but he died because of Mnangagwa’s corrupt rule, which loots public funds meant for hospitals.
I heard that one of Zimbabwe’s biggest musicians, Aleck Macheso broke down and cried on stage and abandoned his show when he heard the news.
But I have a question for my brother Macheso. What goes through your mind as musicians when you go to sing and praise for this regime?
Tatenda is not the first musician to die like this. Garry Mapanzure died the same way. Why do you promote a political system that is killing your own people?
And to the fans of musicians who sing and twerk for ZANUPF, why do you go to shows of musicians that glorify the system that is killing you daily? You must reflect if you have common sense.
The doctor who called me today asked me to tell ALL Zimbabweans that if you are in Zimbabwe, your turn will come, it is a matter of time, unless you use private hospitals.
She said there is a total breakdown of emergency medicine in Zimbabwe.
She also said I must tell even the rich that if you are involved in a car accident while coming from your village, you will be taken to the nearest available public hospital, where you will die like Tatenda before the cushy ambulance arrives from Harare to take you to a private hospital.
To anyone who considers themselves an opposition politician, keeping quiet about this is equal to supporting the regime, it is tacit endorsement of the status-quo!
As a Zimbabwean citizen, I am willing to buy a container of pain medicine for our people with my own money, provided there is an opposition leader willing to handle the paperwork for a duty-free certificate.
May Tatenda’s soul rest in peace🙏🏿🙏🏿
You worked hard, paid your taxes all your life and saved for your retirement.
Now, when you die and leave your pension fund to your kids, they could be forced to pay 90% of it in tax.
That’s insane.
🔸The cluelessness of our Govt officials is unmatched. In this video, the Governor of the RBZ says he had no clue what a structured currency was but introduced it because the @WorldBank told him to. Why are we shocked that the currency collapsed?
We need new leaders.🇿🇼
🔸In this video, the gentleman appointed as Vice-President announces that the Govt has no clue how to run the economy because “the white man didn’t tell us how it is done.” It’s a mess.
We need new leaders.🇿🇼
