Just in case anyone forgets, CCC MP Susan Matsunga received a US$50,000 cash gift and a brand new car from Wicknell Chivayo a few weeks ago.

This week she has spoken out firmly in Parliament in favour of #CAB3.

If this isn’t inducement then I don’t know what is.

[Jacob Ngarivhume @NgarivhumeJ]

While we are fighting off the #oligarchs Zanu Pf faction trying to pass CAB3, Zambia just passed a bill ensuring free education for all children! CAB3 is about power consolidation and retention. Nothing developmental about it.

#NoToCAB3!
#NoTo2030Nonsense!
#NoToCorruption!

When Shaka forged the Zulu Kingdom 200 years ago, his spear didn’t just build a nation. It scattered one.

The Nguni blood that ran from his wars fled north. They became:
Ndebele in Zimbabwe. Ngoni in Malawi & Zambia. Swazi in Eswatini. Xhosa along the coast.

Different names. Different borders. Different flags.
But same bone. Same click. Same blood memory.

So when a Zulu man in KZN fights a Ndebele man in Bulawayo...
When a Xhosa woman in Eastern Cape hates a Swazi man in Manzini...
When we call each other “foreigner”...

We are not fighting strangers. We are fighting cousins who forgot they’re family.

Shaka’s spear broke us physically.
Colonial borders broke us legally.
Hate is now breaking us spiritually.@Mzanziawake

Nelson Chamisa’s main job is to feed poor Zimbabweans false hope every cycle. Stadium sermons, "change is coming" zero delivery.On CAB3, he is part and parcel! Publicly shouting "withdraw the bill" but secretly promised the Prime Minister position once it passes...✍️

Tarwirei pleaded with you to not call for mass demonstrations 2 nights after the 2023 presidential election results were announced. You asked him what was in it for you & he offered good money. You got a lump some of between $3 & $5 million. Chief Charumbira was an alibi in this.

[Cde Never Maswerasei 🇿🇼 @CdeNMaswerasei]

Zimbabweans at home must realise that whenever there is a situation that requires swift action with potential to trigger a revolution, Nelson Chamisa is DEPLOYED TO DIFFUSE PUBLIC ANGER by giving false hope. That is his tactical role as Mnangagwa's pacifier & "opposition" tool.

Ethiopia was never colonized.

For much of its history, it was one of the poorest countries on the continent.

Meanwhile, Vietnam was colonized by the French, devastated by decades of war, and is now on its way to serious economic prosperity.

If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor, Ethiopia should be rich and Vietnam should be broke. Neither is true.

Can we please retire this excuse?

[Freeman @freemanchari]

The time for this conversation is long gone. Right after elections there should have been a no-holds-barred post-mortem & retrospection & institutional introspection. Something that never happened. Personally, I think the myopia started on CCC's unwilingness to challenge the delimitation farce. I tried but mese maingoti tohwina zvakadaro!

The Zimbabwean Parliament has adjourned until tomorrow.

This is ZANUPF Member of Parliament Perseverance Zhou.
This is the quality of debate that unfolded this afternoon in Zimbabwe’s Parliament as MPs debated the controversial Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, which seeks to extend Mnangagwa’s term of office to 2030.

It was a bootlicking festival led by the President’s most enthusiastic sycophants.

In this video, she compares Emmerson Mnangagwa to French football superstar Kylian Mbappé and argues that Mnangagwa should not step down in 2028 when his term of office ends. Using a football analogy, she suggests that Mnangagwa should not be stopped because he is already in the 18-yard box and close to scoring.

This is what Zimbabwe’s constitutional debate has been reduced to. Instead of discussing the long-term implications of altering the Constitution, strengthening democratic institutions, and protecting the principle of term limits, Parliament is being treated to football analogies designed to justify extending the tenure of a sitting president.

Whether one supports or opposes Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, Zimbabweans should expect a higher standard of debate from lawmakers entrusted with shaping the country’s constitutional future.

I will share this daily until everyone in Zimbabwe has seen how much of an unrepentant liar Mnangagwa is.

[Dhara Blessed Mhlanga @bbmhlanga]

There is fear in Zimbabwe about discussing anything political. Mostly because there is always a hard price to pay if you are viewed as opposition. Even “men of God” fear what they said. The audio is not fake at all. I can confirm it’s original

[TheNewsHawks @NewsHawksLive]

Renowned Kenyan Pan-Africanist and lawyer Professor Patrick Loch Otieno Lumumba, who has a complex relationship with the ruling Zanu PF government in Zimbabwe as he supports some of its policies like land reform and black economic empowerment but rejects in governance model, has fiercely criticised the proposed Constitution Amendment (No. 3) Bill amid ongoing heated debate about the changes to the country's political, electoral and governance systems.

African politicians would rather die in positions than retire 🥲🥲

[Destiny Krams 🇳🇬 @fweshtiny]

Xenophobic South Africans are myopic and narrow-minded. They don't see a bigger picture rather their fight is about 2% of the economy which is to take spaza shops from African nationals.

Bro is spitting nothing but the truth😄😄👇👇����

[Takabatana Daily @takabatana]

Former South African President Thabo Mbeki has delivered one of the clearest regional warnings yet against attempts by African leaders to manipulate constitutional limits to remain in power, in remarks that now resonate sharply with Zimbabwe’s deepening debate around Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB 3) and growing concerns over President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s long-term political ambitions.

Speaking at an event commemorating the legacy of NEPAD, Mbeki recalled how former Zambian President Frederick Chiluba once sought to secure a controversial third term in office, despite constitutional limits. According to Mbeki, regional leaders within @SADC_News quietly moved to stop the attempt in defence of constitutionalism and democratic order.

His reflections come at a moment when Zimbabwe is gripped by mounting controversy over CAB 3, which critics argue is part of a broader political strategy aimed at restructuring constitutional safeguards and creating conditions that could ultimately extend Mnangagwa’s hold on power beyond the spirit, and potentially the framework, of the current Constitution.

Mbeki is simply posing an uncomfortable question to today’s SADC leadership: if regional leaders once found the courage to confront Chiluba over a third-term agenda, why should Zimbabwe’s constitutional controversy be treated differently?

Mbeki’s remarks are a deliberate challenge to the region itself, a call for Southern Africa’s leaders to rediscover the political will, institutional courage and moral authority that once defined the bloc’s defence of constitutionalism.

Why don't white South Africans do anything about white foreign nationals?

Answer:

[Hopewell Chin’ono @daddyhope]

I think all rational-thinking people should leave Nelson Chamisa alone with his blind supporters and simply count the losses.

Nelson Chamisa is not what many people thought he was, and he will never become what many believed he would be. That reality is now becoming painfully clear to many Zimbabweans who invested hope, emotion and years of political energy into a project that has collapsed under the weight of inconsistency, confusion and personality cult politics.

The best thing now is to start afresh and build a new opposition and a new era that completely breaks away from the MDC/CCC style of politics built around slogans, mysticism and blind loyalty instead of institutions, ideology and accountability.

Expecting anything meaningful from Chamisa at this stage is political self-deception. He will not fight CAB 3, and he knows exactly why he will not fight it.

Time to move on. Only blind supporters defending a dead political project will continue clinging to illusions. The moment you challenge them with facts, arguments or accountability, they retreat into insults because insults are all they have left.
