[Brighton Mutebuka @BMutebuka]

Magaisa cautioned many of you, including the opposition against embracing the Nov 17 coup, but his calls fell on deaf ears.

I did, too, but didn't have much of a following then. Now I return to caution you again.

Many of you haven't learned the painful lessons November 2017 delivered.

Well, I kid you not, if you don't open your eyes, you are in for an encore - Paper 2! Mark this tweet!

You will wallow in pain, anguish & misery for the rest of your lives if you don't learn from history!

@fresh_sadegh That's sad. I see Israeli bombs are releasing a lot of plumes which makes me think of chemical weapons or is it the material hit that is burning?

@TheCradleMedia Why are these bombs producing a lot of plumes?

ELON: WE DON'T NEED A FUSION REACTOR; WE HAVE THE SUN

"We already have a giant fusion reactor in the sky that's called the sun that shows up every day. 

It converts about four and a half million tons of mass to energy every second and requires no maintenance; it's amazing. 

You don't have to refuel it; you don't have to maintain it; it's just there. 

So my recommendation for fusion is solar power and batteries, and we can easily power all of Earth just with photovoltaics and batteries. 

I mean, not easily, but there's just a very clear path to do so, and no miracles required, just work."

#ADictatorAtHeart
From day one on 18 April 1980, Zimbabwe was on the wrong path and it was bound to fail with disastrous consequences.
Its leader Robert Mugabe was a dictator at heart. He ruled with an iron fist and ran down the country to the ground, leaving it struggling to emerge from the rubble of his authoritarian and corrupt rule.
After 37 years in power, Mugabe was ousted in a coup in 2017 and died two years later.
His legacy is that of a failed state and impoverishment of the nation, now an empty shell and travesty of what it could have been.
But the real problem is that his successor, President Emmerson Mnangagwa, was his protégé and enforcer who represents continuity rather than change.

Critical Analysis Of ED's Announcement On His Political Future - 3rd Term or No 3rd Term?

1. The ides of Mutare visited Zimbabwe today and made us witness a rare moment in history - a Zimbabwean leader occupying the seat of power voluntarily pronouncing his political future after the expiry of his term of office.

2. Not only was it a sombre moment, it was also jarring, - to the extent that it was unprecedented - and also in light of the swirling / frenzied speculation centring on whether or not there are machinations behind the scenes tasked with securing him a 3rd term, which would be unconstitutional, or extending his current term, which would equally be unconstitutional.

3. In recent months, none other than ED himself had set the cat among the pigeons by joining his Lieutenants public drum beating in chanting the slogan that he would still be in power in 2030.

4. In a recent episode in Chikomba District which was rather mortifying, he went as far as lining up his Cabinet Ministers to join him at the podium to repeat that dreadful & potentially dangerous slogan.

5. Viewed in light of those developments, today's events presents as a stunning Volte-Face or U-Turn which has blindsided the nation.

6. Many felt that ED was courting trouble with his provocative slogan, while a great many others concluded that the Constitutional obstacles & political fundamentals he faced were simply way too formidable as to be insurmountable navigation wise, even for a wily, seasoned & ruthless veteran like him.

7. Many eyes were trained on General Chiwenga, the more powerful of the two current VPs and the coup kingpin, to try and suss out whether he was primed to execute any moves on the political chessboard.

8. He wisely kept his cards close to his chest and played poker politics - and continues to do so, making it very difficult for his opponents to read him.

So What Does ED's Announcement Mean?
a. It seems rather bizarre that it was announced in that fashion. Many are openly and naturally speculating why it unfolded in that fashion.

b. Some have referenced the recent state capture scandals, while some have referenced the shocking incidents surrounding ED's son and current Deputy Min of Finance's Borrowdale Home - which appears to have been the subject of an arson attack (*not yet confirmed*.)

c. ED's demeanour was that of someone who appeared to have been forced to make the announcement.

d. The announcement just tumbled out of him - there was no coherence, a sense of control and authority or mastery of the environment around him. Zvangonzi bvoo pachena, with no fanfare - as if it was some sort of burden that had been tormenting him!

e. To me, there seems to be too much of a disconnect between the investment that he had hitherto appeared to have made in potentially unconstitutionally retaining power - especially the choreography surrounding the likes of Tshabangu, Mudenda, Mudha, Ncube & others - and the sudden and dramatic abdication.

f. My take is that caution still needs to be taken pertaining to whether or not today's announcement is grounded in sincerity. It really was a damp squib and bordered on feebleness .... a sort of anti-climatic capitulation and wholly uncharacteristic of political gladiators of his ilk.

g. It leaves one feeling that there is another instalment in store ... more twists and turns before the finale. As we saw with Robert Mugabe, figures of history such as these rarely bow out without drama.

h. They find power terribly addictive and the corridors of power irresistible. They almost always feel drawn towards giving it one more shot before the coup de grace, which often makes for a dramatic & unforgettable exit!

Final take? It's not over until it's finally over. All the leading gladiators should sleep with their eyes open! There is a reason why there has never been a peaceful & democratic succession in ZANU PF & Zimbabwe since independence - from Mgagao Declaration to November 2017!
