Dont think it wd be fair on our excellent breed of Zim agrarian and economic history intellectuals, including the likes of Sam Moyo, Alois Mlambo, Evelyn Pangeti, Victor Mashingaidze, Mtisi, etc to say "our scholars" hv bn helping to perpetuating myth of white famer efficiency.

[Jamwanda @Jamwanda2]

Thanks Sekuru. This is the one reason I enrolled for a programme on Economic History. Through desultory reading I was shocked to realise how our scholars had helped rear the lingering myth of white agricultural efficiency. I then thought of embarking on a more systematic investigation; the findings were a huge shock. Once I go through the graduation rituals this August, I will put the study online so there is wider access and the debate to de-stool the long reigning myth may then begin!!!!

[WekwaMusikisi @JMusikisi]

Nhamo Samasuwo's doctoral study on Zim beef history (UCT, 1999) would be an excellent read for you if u hvnt read it yet. It shd be available in UZ library.

[Jamwanda @Jamwanda2]

@SRavengai @enkudheni @Lexmurungu Sekuru, I actually voraciously read Rhodesian books in order to understand their scholarship and its myth-making role. I must confess that I haven’t read the book you cite. I wouldn’t mind getting a copy through you. I will pay!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

The people will be the ultimate arbiters.

If Biti, Ncube, Hwende, Hopewell, Mafume & others had nothing to do with Tshabangu & enabling Agenda 2030 in its infancy vicariously, you will win the hearts & minds of people.

My views are just that. I hold no ill will towards you, Biti or anyone else.

I am simply exercising my own agency to share my views in an open market.

I have stated the reasons why I have reached those conclusions. You are free to rebut them intellectually.

What you cannot do is recklessly & maliciously comment on my private & personal life.

You know enough that you can be held accountable for that, since we share the same jurisdiction.

You can disagree with me all you like, but the question pertaining to whether or not those who were previously complicit in enabling Agenda 2030 & helped ED to achieve a two thirds majority via Tshabangu can credibly front the very same against the same regime is a valid one.

It's the gist of the debate that is taking place. Some are for & some against, which is as it should be in a mature democracy.

Remember our hands have been burnt before & there have been false dawns.

I detect no sensationalism on my part. I am just trying to seek accountability. Accountability doesn't mean disunity. It means refinement.

If there is any sensationalism, it's from those referring to millions having been spent to buy Chamisa, clamouring for him to vacate politics & forcing him to join hands with those who betrayed him & criticising him for his reluctance to do so.

If there's any co-ordination, it's from those seeking to silence me for steadfastly defending Chamisa through besmirching my reputation, just like you are trying to do unprovoked.

I am openly inviting you to share the evidence of co-ordination that you said you have in your post.

Please do so openly here on social media.

You had so much promise, but are clearly veering off course. You are young & have got many years ahead of you.

Engage respectfully & only address that which is within your purview.

You never know what the future holds, especially in these lands.

You won't know how many people have gotten over excited on social media & ended up needing my professional help in situations in which I have literally been their last & only hope left.

[WekwaMusikisi @JMusikisi]

Indeed, we used to hv a President elected by Parliament b4 1990 under the Lancaster House Constitution basically designed to protect white settler minority interests. Why do we need to go back there & abandon this progressive & inclusive direct election system?

[mmatigari @matigary]

I am not hearing any intelligent propositions from those opposing the constitutional amendments. It’s all just bashing and attacking and trying to shame this or that person for supporting the propositions. It’s not a clever argument to say “mutilating the constitution this and mutilating the constitution that.”

The notion that a head of state is elected is a post unity accord development, only kicking in the 90s. Before that there was no direct election of a President or Prime Minister.

People really need to learn the art of persuasion.

@KikaMusa there over 30 courses on persuasion and negotiation at Harvard across all Harvard schools and I am wondering if you took any one of them.

@tawandan1 is an influencer on legal matters - whether you think it’s a good thing or not. You can’t win him over by trying to shame him, because his views are an aggregation of his relationships and experiences. Like it or not, his personal interests play a huge part on his decisions.

So persuade people to your side, intelligently!

BEWARE OF THE FALLACY OF FACTS because "facts" are not produced in abstract!

[Prof Jonathan Moyo @ProfJNMoyo]

BEWARE OF THE AD HOMINEM FALLACY IN THE DEBATE ON CONSTITUTION AMENDMENTS, 2026: Scoundrels, charlatans and misfits of society respond to SPEECH whose logic and facts they cannot disprove or match by DEMONISING and BESMIRCHING the SPEAKER.

An ad hominem fallacy, from the Latin phrase meaning "to the person," occurs in arguments when someone attacks the character, motives, personal traits or situation of the person making an argument, rather than addressing the substance or merits of the argument itself.

The purpose of the tactic is to divert attention from the actual issue, without engaging the argument’s evidence or logic. The personal attack doesn't refute the point being made. An example of this is when an academic trained at the highest level and published in economics, Professor Gift Mugano, was mocked and demonised—by social media malcontents who could not engage the data and methodology involved—for technically highlighting the announcement by @ZimTreasury and @ReserveBankZIM that January 2026 marked the first single-digit annual inflation rate in the ZiG currency in over three decades—a transformative 4.1% year-on-year drop that signals significant economic revival in the country.

The mockery and demonisation to which Prof Mugano was subjected is called an ad hominem fallacy, to describe the fact that it fails to provide a substantive, technical and logical rebuttal. It is trite that sound arguments should stand or fall on their own evidence, not on who presents them. Relying on ad hominem fallacy in lieu of insightful commentary demonstrates one's intellectual poverty, as it avoids substantive and informing debate.

There are three common types of ad hominem fallacies, especially on social media platforms, such as these streets. One is “abusive ad hominem”, which uses direct insults, for example, "You're a mercenary, so your evidence or analysis is worthless."

Another type is “circumstantial ad hominem”, which involves attacking a person based on his or her social situation or affiliations, for example, "of course you'd say that—you are Zanu PF."

There’s yet another type best described as, “tu quoque ad hominem” (you too) based on purporting to point out one's hypocrisy, for example, "you are supporting the proposed constitution amendments today, but in 2018 you criticised President Mnangagwa and called him unelectable," which doesn't address the substance and merits of the amendments.

This third type of ad hominem fallacy is particularly rampant here on “X”, where some TL Scavengers, who scavenge posts or tweets from a donkey’s years ago and use them with reckless abandon as their only “data”—without context or relevance—against speakers whose speech, on a current and topical issue, they cannot competently engage or challenge with substance, logic and facts!

With all due respect Prof., we all know that being deployed to that ministry kutumwa kundovhima nevuta usina miseve. Good luck on your new assignment!

[Prof. Paul Mavima @ProfPMavima]

To all my compatriots who have sent me best wishes on my new role as Minister of National Housing and Social Amenities, I sincerely thank you. Your encouraging messages give me the energy to hit the ground running and ensure the delivery of housing and other social amenities in line with NDS 2 and within the broader framework of National Vision 2030.

Modern housing and social amenities, delivered in collaboration with private players, will be our driving mantra. It will take the collective effort of the entire Zimbabwean family to positively transform our settlements.

I thank you once again for your support

There is a nicely refurbished swimming pool at Parirenyatwa Hospital for use by student nurses and others. I wanted to post it and as I usually do, before I post I play a game of predicting both negative and positive comments and who will post them. What will your comment be? You may as well say it here.

And having a swimming a pool where there is no running water for patients & probably 90 percent of the student nurses dont even know how to swim is the best way to deal with the mental health of nurses? Musadherera vanhu kudaro vakomana!
