🔶On Friday, Watch👇🏽 Hon. Tino Machakaire @HonMachakaire lifting off in a luxurious Bell-206L Long Ranger helicopter (Reg: Z-TRN) after attending the burial of the revered Gogo Rashamira, a beloved elder and devoted member of the Mugodhi Apostolic Church in Rashamira Village under Chief Nyamande, Gutu.
🔸 While he takes to the skies in extravagant style, the rest of you are left grounded, drowning in the very poverty he seems to fly right over.
Its not as smooth as this. I bought a pure jersey cow paBeatrice ndichida kutanga Dairy kuChipinge. Because of different geography, mombe iyoyo yaiSweater ichikwira makomo and ended up zero grazing it but paive nebasa. Yakazvara ka1 and end up yanyura mumatope🙌🏾😭 yambotiza kuenda kwaive nedzimwe.
Haiwa, shandisa mari zvaunoda but not forgetting kuti it might be the last $1.
🔸You get given an overpriced multi-million dollar contract to renovate hospital facilities without going to tender.
You pack the hospital facilities with a swimming pool, tennis court and all sorts of uselessness while the hospital lacks basic equipment, medication and nurses are underpaid.
Pedzezvo you dish out tumahamper twehupfu and food relief, expecting us to clap for you. You then cartoon the staff by making them dance for crumbs like toddlers.
It’s an arrogant looting enterprise and we will not see it any other way. Shameless.
We need new leaders.🇿🇼
10/Six land allocations, including land a court ruled he never owned
Rautenbach's land appetite is not limited to Chisumbanje.
He has been given a further ARDA farm in Mwenezi to grow sugarcane. He has been allocated additional land in the Zambezi Valley.
And in compensation for the Aspindale land, a court ruled he never owned a compensation ratio of 180 hectares lost for 1,083 hectares received; he received Springs Farm and Stuhm Farm in north Harare for upmarket residential development.
The court said he never owned Aspindale. The president directed compensation anyway. Six times more land than was claimed. By presidential directive.
Wicknell Chivayo is renting a jet from Bestfly Aruba at the moment, while his usual plane — ZS-ACT — sits grounded in Basel, conveniently parked there for what he is calling “maintenance.” The timeline just doesn’t sit right with me. There are far too many red flags.
I’m not letting this one go. I’ll keep a close eye on him because nobody casually burns through millions every single week unless that money isn’t really theirs to begin with.
What truly bothers me is how neatly Chivayo has fitted into a system that’s essentially helping the country steal from itself. Let me walk you through how this actually plays out.
Back in early 2024, the Zimbabwe Defence Industries had already vetted a legitimate supplier for auxiliary ammunition and equipment. The quote was a clean US$20 million. Treasury sat on the payment for a while, and then — surprise — the same request suddenly reappears, but now with Chivayo as the lead supplier. The price for the exact same goods? It jumps straight to $69 million. Just like magic.
The RBZ IT systems upgrade followed a painfully similar script. A capable company won the tender fairly at $10 million. Then, without much explanation, the contract gets cancelled. The original winner was reportedly pressured to drop their legal challenge, after being assured a new tender would be issued. When that “new” tender finally dropped in mid-2024, Chivayo walked away with it at $50 million — five times the original price. And here’s the part that really gets me: the same experts who had quoted $10 million were quietly brought back as subcontractors to do the actual work for their original fee, while Chivayo kept the $40 million markup for himself.
Just those two deals alone siphoned off roughly $89 million in pure profit from the public purse.
Now stack that against the way he’s living. Spending millions buying cars as gifts. He spent $750,000 on a Bentley and is burning $10,000 an hour renting a Gulfstream. Even with all that lavish spending, he’s barely touched 1% of the money he made from those two contracts.
That’s not the mark of a genuine businessman. This is someone living like royalty on the backs of ordinary Zimbabwean taxpayers — a flashy distraction funded by the very people getting fleeced & unfortunately the very people cheering him on!
And honestly, that’s the saddest part of all: the nation is slowly but surely robbing itself through its own procurement systems.
🔸I have spent some time listening to the interviews of the nurses who are on strike. One of them said that their salary is not enough for basic nutrition. As a consequence, they are contracting illnesses from sick patients because their immune systems are weak. Meanwhile the goons are eating so much that they cannot fit through the doors of their helicopters.
It’s a mess. #NoToCAB3 #NoTo2030
We need new leaders.🇿🇼
@Jamwanda2 Maybe we must start CALLING the same those who LOST the ZANU PF primary elections, UNELECTED and UNLECTABLE bunch, now pushing CAB3. MADUNUNU ASINA CHAUNGA!!!!!!
At independence in April 1980, a Zimbabwean teacher’s annual salary (≈ Z$5,000 — roughly equivalent to ~US$18,000 today) could secure a mortgage for a middle-class home in Avondale, Hillside or Murambi — and buy a modest car.
In 2026, at barely US$300 a month, it can’t cover basic groceries, rent, and transport.
Thanks to ZANU-PF — teachers went from middle class to the working poor.
When your country is being run by thieves and crooks, any opportunity to steal from the public is exploited. The war in the Gulf has become the latest excuse to steal from the public through a 39% fuel price increase, the highest in the SADC region.
Zambia, which takes most of it's fuel from, and through Zimbabwe, has increased fuel price by 6%, from $1.51 to $1.60, while Botswana hasn't increased at all.
Petrol in Zimbabwe was US$1.56 before the war. Today, it's selling for US$2.17, an extortionate & criminal increase of 39%.
@edmnangagwa and his government are criminals who should be removed from levers of state power. Our country cannot afford such an inconsiderate and extractive regime any day longer!

What actually makes me happy about this young leader and this video is that it’s trending without the usual name-dropping circus,no President Chamisa, no Biti, no Mwonzora, no ED, no tired “I was there during the liberation struggle” monologues, and none of those recycled “back in 1999 Tsvangirai told me…” stories that some people treat as if they are a political qualification. Just a clear message on everyday issues, delivered plainly and powerfully. That alone is a warning shot to the men who survive on gossip, personalities, and endless commentary about other politicians: Gen Z will only mingle with you if you actually understand issues and have a program of action. The era of political name-dropping as substance is dying. CLOCK IT GIRL !!!!!!
Only a colonial, petty-bourgeois, and lazy parliament could imagine that council halls, business centres, or the City Sports Centre are the best spaces to meet the African people for CONSULTATION in a post-colonial state. It is a shameful emptiness, a legislature that has inherited not liberation but the habits of its former masters, choosing comfort, convenience, and proximity for parliamentary SUVs and Raptors over the spaces where our people have been pushed by poverty, displacement, and structural inequality. Who genuinely consults in a stadium or hall designed for speeches and optics, rather than dialogue and struggle? HAMUSATI MAVA INDEPENDENT IMI. PATAIITA CHIMURENGA TAISANGANIRA KUPI MACOMMISSARS ?? HANDEI IKOKO !!!!
Perhaps I am mistaken, yet a fundamental question arises: how does a Parliament that stands to be a direct beneficiary of the proposed Bill,by virtue of the extension of its own term of office, together with that of the President, to 2030, position itself as the principal convener and moderator of the very consultation process meant to legitimize such a measure? Would this not, in ordinary legal reasoning, amount to a clear conflict of interest, or what in academic terminology may be described as an instance of empirical bias?.Comrades, the situation places you in flagrante delicto,caught in the very act. It is therefore unsurprising that citizens may find it exceedingly difficult to repose trust in a process administered by those who stand to benefit from its outcome.
LISTEN. Return to organic politics. You cannot lock yourselves in luxurious offices with a handful of elites, design a movement, brand it like a product, and then descend upon the people asking them to join a premeditated program of action they never shaped. Politics is not an iPhone, one is a product engineered in boardrooms, the other is a collective process born among the people. The correct order is simple: go to the people first. Sit with them, consult them, walk their streets, listen to their anxieties and their hopes; they will tell you what the agenda should be, and in telling you, they will also give you their support. That is precisely why slogans like “NOTO2030” remain largely an echo chamber conversation, alive on X, in press statements, and in political spaces, yet faint on the ground because the ground itself has not been properly engaged or informed. Our politics has become inverted, politicians rush to microphones, tweets, and panels before they have climbed mountains, crossed rivers, visited farms, hospitals, factories, townships, markets, and industries where the real nation breathes. If you want a movement that lives beyond hashtags and statements, then return to the masses, organize, consult, mobilize, and build with them, not for them. Only then does politics cease to be theatre and become power. Other than that, MUSAENZANISA SUCCESS NEKUTRENDER !!!!
LISTEN. The more time you spend on the ground in Zimbabwe, the more you realise that part of our crisis lies with the so-called X intellectuals who spend their days demonising those who actually carry the trust of the ground and of the citizens. Instead, they elevate people who have plenty to say but absolutely no constituency, as if the struggle is about impressing X rather than transforming Zimbabwe. Let me be blunt: most of the people giving you headaches online do not exist beyond the airport terminal. Their names evaporate the moment you step outside the digital bubble. That is why the struggle keeps failing to manifest, because you keep overhyping the infamous and the untrusted, driven by jealousy and the desperate urge to prove a few people wrong. By now you should have learned that you cannot manufacture legitimacy. And the reason every project you try collapses, including the recent GEZA experiment, is painfully simple: you lack the one thing no struggle can survive without—THE PEOPLE.
I have watched the world get more and more divided over the past 2 decades
> gender wars
> covid (the pro vaccine and the anti vaccine)
> food (vegetarians and the pro meat)
> energy (anti fossil fuels and the pro fossil fuels)
> race (blacks, browns and whites)
> nationality (natives versus immigrants)
> tribalism
> politics
It's sad that even with more knowledge at our disposal than ever before, we are now more divided than ever
If this appears on your TL kindly Repost. This vehicle was high jacked last night ko Sebokeng Zone 12 & these 2 ladies were kidnapped. If you see this vehicle or any of these women kindly call the nearest Police Station!
A woman from Masvingo is slowly losing her sight to a brain tumor and is appealing for US$15 000 for surgery to be carried out at the Avenues Clinic in Harare.

Ndoro’s health problems started in 2024 when she began suffering from persistent and severe headaches.
“This problem started in 2024. I was put on medication, but the headaches continued. Doctors later recommended that I undergo a CT scan and an MRI scan. After the scans, it was discovered that I have a brain tumour,” she said.
She said the illness has drastically affected her daily life and livelihood. Ndoro, who survives on poultry and farming projects, said she is no longer able to carry out her usual income-generating activities.
