This is how you put South Africans first: You make them protest, you get a free car and R5M. You keep telling them they will win and giving them dates and timelines like 30th June to boost and encourage them.
You make them protest for jobs you yourself don't want to work, while 3 of you are unemployed. You keep them busy, and manipulate their frustration and their feelings with a few touch-ups like mentioning the EFF and CIC Malema on your post and podcasts while you get millions in donations.
That's why I refuse to be manipulated by a man who did not go to initiation school.
Appeal.
Lost my wallet containing Zimbabwe ID, UK Driver's license, Bank cards , Santander,Revolut, Starling on Friday evening.
I probably dropped it on Hardy Close Vainona, Harare when I jumped out of tgd car to take over the driver's seat after the journey from Njanja
Please DM if found .
Joseph Hussein is the name on the Zim ID and UK DL.
Thank you.
This country & society benefits NOTHING with Malema in prison. NOTHING! Not on those charges!
His voice is crucial right inside Parliament. We canβt give way to liberal right-wing forces to dominate. AfriForum must NOT WIN! Ngxa!
Spent my Sunday afternoon at Harare Remand Prison with Madzibaba veShanduko and Takunda Mhuka, who remain detained for standing firm in rejecting the regime in Harare.
We stand with these comrades out of a deeper and abiding sense of duty, love, and shared purpose for without it our struggle itself loses meaning.
Even in detention, their spirit remains unbroken. They are resolute, clear in purpose, and unwavering in the pursuit of a just Zimbabwe.
Fellow countrymen, the path ahead us will not be easy, but it is one we must walk together with courage, with discipline, and with an unshakable belief in the future we seek to build.
With love and solidarity always

πΏπΌ During Mugabe's terrible misrule, we never saw so much obscene public display of wealth: mansions luxury cars, helicopters, lavish shopping sprees by families. Now, the people with mansions, Bentleys & helicopters are the ones pushing & funding CAB3. Just ask yourself WHY.
Imagine how many more roads, cancer machines or ambulances our President could have bought with the money he is using to campaign for the extension of his term?
And imagine how much support this would have gotten him? This is what happens when a leader becomes disconnected with the pulse of what the people want because he surrounds himself with yes-men and not honest advisors who give him the best advise to help him build a good legacy.
As someone who has spent so much time defending the Zimbabwean government, protecting the image of the nation, and fighting sanctions imposed by the West, it's disappointing to see the image of the nation being trashed due to arbitrary arrests of opposition members who are merely debating a constitutional amendment that ZANU PF itself brought to the public for mandatory debate.
How can a few people tarnish the image of the entire nation just because they want to stop people debating a law that they proposed on their own, knowing that our constitution mandates the debating of the same law that they want? Why propose a bill if you canβt adhere to what is required to pass it? Why did ZANU PF give us this constitution if it doesnβt want to adhere to it?

Yesterday, I was threatened for having insulted the President by saying that his performance in office has been mediocre for us to grant him a term extension. But how would you rate the President if:
1. Under Robert Mugabe, in his first 20 years in office, he built 9,000 km of new paved roads from the 10,000 km left by Ian Smith.
2. Currently, President Mnangagwa has, in the last 9 years, paved and rebuilt 80% of the existing 584 km of the HarareβBeitbridge road, and it is still not finished.
3. He has also been refurbishing and extending 45 km of the Mazowe Road. I would say that the 45km are entirely new.
4. He has also built about 90 km of road in and around Mount Hampden and has been refurbishing about 300 km in cities and Victoria Falls road.
5. This means that, in 9 years, the President has refurbished and built about 1,200 km (6.3%) of roads out of the 19,000 km of paved roads in Zimbabwe, which are in desperate disrepair.
6. The money required to fix all Zimbabwean roads, at an average of about $1 million per kilometre, is approximately $17.4 billion. Where will it come from?
Is the Presidentβs performance on roads and raising money to fix them: excellent, good, average, bad, or poor?
How many more roads can he fix between now and 2030 at the current pace of 130km per year and the perpetual electioneering for 2030 that has stopped all real work?
Tomorrow we will look at healthcare, water, sanitation, electricity and other indicators.

Hi my brother Godfrey,
Rutendo hasn't changed sides. I still believe in telling the good Zimbabwe story and promoting the nation BUT:
1. I don't believe in telling the good story for leaders that want to force a constitutional amendment that gives the President a term extension through parliamentary majority, without a referendum.
2. I don't want an underpaid, incompetent, and self-serving parliament like the one we have in Zimbabwe, picking our President based on who bribes the 200 MPs with more money, because then what happens in future when we as a nation donβt want a rich President (future President, not this one) who bribes parliament and only enriches himself and his allies, to continue governing?
3. I donβt want to give a term extension to a President who allows our state apparatus to be used to beat, imprison, and burn the property of those who disagree with him, risking the country being put under new sanctions or being invaded by the West.
4. For over seven years I told the good story about this administration, I fought sanctions, defended Zimbabweans working in South Africa from being deported so that they continue remitting foreign currency back home, and they [the administration] benefited immensely from my work because I believed in their vision and the nation. Despite all this good work, they did not appreciate me and instead they rewarded other people for the outcomes of my work.
So, am I bitter? No, I'm not because I followed a vision that I believed. However, I now disagree with the new vision of extending the term of the President without referendum, for the reasons I give above. As a result, I've stopped telling this new story because itβs not a good story, and I am openly giving reasons why I canβt support a term extension for this President, without referendum, as a warning of the dangers inherent in this new vision.
Some say that me no-longer telling their good story and being more critical is me selling out. No! Itβs me choosing to stop telling the story of a vision/plan that I donβt believe in.
Letβs just remind each other that I was never paid to tell the good story in the first place, but I believed in their vision hence I supported it. However, now, I donβt believe in the new direction hence I have chosen to stop telling that story that I donβt believe in, and to give reasons why I donβt believe in it.
There is nothing wrong for war veterans of Muchena's caliber, to give us their view of what one-man-one-vote means to them & how universal suffrage found its full expression in section 91 (2) which confers the right on every Zimbabwean 18 & above & registered to vote, to directly elect their President.
How Banana or Mugabe was elected in 1980 & 1985 as you put it, was a result of a negotiated settlement through the Lancaster House Constution. It is an indication of vestiges of colonialism that miscreants & political delinquents like you want to tout as democratic.
The electoral system expressed in the Lancaster House constitution was meant to preserve white supremacy, hence the requirement for reserved seats for the Rhodesian Front.
We accepted that, & the election of leaders through parliament, not as an expression of the fulfillment of our liberation war objectives, but as a compromise to end the conflict.
It is unfortunate that miscreants & war deserters like you now want us to go back to that as if it's an expression of our will when it was a compromise to end a 16 year old armed conflict.
We did that with the issue of land & for 20 yrs, lived with a land ownership pattern that we fought against in the guerrilla war.
We can't go back to what was obtaining btn 1980-2000 in terms of land ownership patterns & say that since we went for 20 yrs after independence without land, therefore the war wasn't fought for land.
Zimbabweans came up with their constitution in 2013 which confers the right to directly elect a president of their choice.
This is the right & meaning of one-man-one-vote that Muchena & his other Cdes believe in.
The Lancaster constitution, which you refer to, didn't give us back our land. We got back our land through changing that constitution. We did the same with the election of our President, we changed the electoral system so Zimbabweans could directly elect their President as a way of giving full expression to our understanding of universal suffrage.
We don't care how our erstwhile colonizers, the British, elect their leaders. We will not use their template caz we are not British.
We will also not be bullied by miscreants & war desserters to adopt a British system that we rejected even before 2013.
Our people spoke in 2013, through their constitution, that they will elect their President directly as an expression of their understanding of one-man-one-vote & universal adult suffrage.
Of the 170 countries in the world, more than half, 90, directly elect their presidents & of these, more than 80 use the two tier system to ensure majority above 50%.
It is actually stupid to insinuate that directly electing a president was meant to achieve a one party state & that directly electing a president is inimical to multipartyism.
That's a self-serving foolish argument that lacks intellectual empiricism.
The French directly elect a president, how many political parties are in France. Aren't there 451 registered political parties in France?
Zambia, which changed ruling parties 3 times, directly elect presidents & there is no one-party state there.
The same can be said about Kenya where you are hiding.
Don't Kenyans elect their President directly? Is there a one-party-state in Kenya? Isn't there multi-partyism in Kenya?
Zimbabwe uses direct election of the president, how many political parties are here?
Wasn't Zanu-PF defeated under the same electoral system in 2008?
We all know what is killing multi-partyism in Zimbabwe. It is the direct use of state resources & capture of the judiciary to destroy opposition political parties by political miscreants & mercenaries like you who created Tshabangu & destroyed the CCC opposition political party.
To then turnaround & accuse an electoral system for entrenching a one-party-state that you brought about through your Tshabangu shenanigans is the highest level of political dishonest that can only be found in political miscreants like you.
Friends,
I will be contesting for public office in our 2026 Zambian August Election, we'll make an official constituency announcement on 30th November.
Having been born in Sesheke back in 1993 and raised in Ndola, I've seen Zambia make.

We have just been informed of the abduction of Lindon Zanga and Marlvin Saint, students at Chinhoyi University of Technology, who were abducted by regime agents driving a grey Isuzu near Mzimba.
These @Zinasuzim student leaders were taken during the ongoing university campaigns.
We strongly condemn this cowardly act and demand the immediate and unconditional release of Lindon and Marlvin!
