🔸Constructive criticism is good. Having a malicious, dirty agenda based on hate, fallacious reasoning and contradictory analysis is bad.
How can you ask someone whom you say is flawed to “anoint” someone else to lead? Won’t they pass on their flaws to your new person? How is this thinking different from Zanu PF’s anti-intellectual “tsvimbo yaMugabe” obsession?
Who are you to demand an endorsement? What happened to principle, hard work and competence? How can you ridicule someone then demand to feed off their sweat? Why are you disrespecting the hard work and community organizing it takes to build a political base by reducing it to phantom hocus pocus?
If other leaders are yet to build capacity, how should their inadequacy be the responsibility of someone whom you think shouldn’t lead?
One person lifts a finger and you heap them with praise, another moves a mountain and you ask why they can’t walk on water?
Someone is in the midst of battle, an unforeseen obstacle emerges so they retreat to fill their tank and reflect carefully on their next move and strategy but you demand that they jump onto a landmine?
Why do we assume that someone who has traversed all ten provinces advocating for change and better lives for everyone would be happy or rest before that mission is complete? When that level of hard work is put into mobilising a robust political base, why should anyone else believe they should get that support on a silver platter of endrosement? Why can’t your blue-eyed chosen one or ones put in the hours so they build their own popular support instead of leeching off someone who paradoxically call inept?
The room for improvement can never be filled. Leaders get stronger when held to account. However, let’s not be male fide. I hold no brief for President @nelsonchamisa but I can assure you that when he’s in the game, there’s a movement to talk about. Change is within reach. When he’s not, there’s nothing. ZANU PF vowed to crush him like lice but what they can never crush is his organic, mass support from the people.
This alone tells us that he has the mettle to lead through complicated terrain. Our energies must be expended in building, collaborating and strengthening, not tearing down. By all means hold leaders accountable and ask the tough questions .
But don’t gaslight. Don’t ignore the data. Don’t leave out chunks of the story to suit your narrative.
Citizens can and must support anything that weakens the corrupt regime that’s robbing us.
We only have one Zimbabwe, which is why we fight so hard for transformation. We all have a role to play. Let’s roll up our sleeves and do the heavy lifting until the job is done.
We know who has caused our suffering and economic collapse. We know who is responsible for destroying our great nation. Let’s focus on being the change and building the change we want to see.
We fall down twice, we get up three times.
Let’s keep moving.
We need new leaders.🇿🇼
Jameson Timba is a man who has consistently stood with the people. Now it’s our turn to stand with him.
Retweet to show your solidarity.

🟣Don’t let those statements confuse you. This is what we know so far about the allegations if the agreements, treasury documents and invoices leaked into the public domain are authentic:
1. @RenFormcc entered into an agreement with Betterbrands on 13 February 2023. (Betterbrands allegedly subsequently partnered with Wicknell Chvhayo to implement this agreement as appears from alleged correspondence referred to below.)
2. The purpose of the agreement according to its preamble was for the parties to “work together” in establishing a proposal to ZEC for the supply of voter registration kits and election materials.
3. @RenFormcc would prepare a proposal for @ZECzim and be in charge of the overall “customer relationship and satisfaction.” (Clause 2.1)
4. @RenFormcc would set its market related price for the goods but Betterbrands would be entitled to add a mark up on this price variously described as “service fees” or “commissions.” An addendum to the agreement would be created setting out the pricing and additional “commissions.” (Clause 2.2)
5. Betterbrands would in turn “provide the necessary liaison effort with ZEC” to make sure the proposal matched all of ZEC’s requirements. In other words, Betterbrands would get ZEC to go through the draft proposal and tender documents to make sure there were no gaps. The stated goal was to produce “the most responsive (sic) proposal practicable.” This is tantamount to the entity requiring services being tendered for helping to draft the tender document to make sure it wins. Betterbrands would facilitate obtaining this “help” from ZEC and be paid a “commission” for this “service.” (Clause 2.4)
6. Betterbrands would also “support and participate” in any reviews, presentations and briefings relating to the “proposal effort.” (Clause 2.5)
7. According to a letter dated 24 April 2024 from Betterbrands, the fallout that has ensued flows from disagreement between Betterbrands and its “partner”, Wicknell Chivhayo regarding the payment of the “commissions” due to the company from @RenFormcc in terms of clause 2.2 of the agreement.
8. The said letter alleges that @RenFormcc cancelled the “commission payment agreement” it had with Betterbrands and instead agreed to pay the commissions to Intratek, a company allegedly owned and controlled by Wicknell Chivhayo.
9. Betterbrands got wind of the circumvention of its agreement and documentary proof that @ZimTreasury had paid @RenFormcc amounts that included their agreed “service fees and commissions.” The letter highlights one specific invoice as an example. The said invoice was initially set at US$2,6 million (the alleged original “market price”) but that was letter inflated to US$8,9 million - a 235% increment. The difference of US$6,3 million would then be the “commission.” It’s this amount that the Betterbrands and its partner Wicknell Chivhayo are fighting about.
10. These “commissions” appear to have been distributed by Wicknell Chivhayo who alleges that he is allocating various amounts to various public officials who ostensibly made things happen for the money to be paid.
11. As citizens, we hope that @ZACConline and @PoliceZimbabwe will investigate these allegations thoroughly in the interests of transparency and public accountability.
We need new leaders.🇿🇼
This must be the logical,rational, and sober way of dealing with migration issues, not just blanket reactive responses we get from certain individuals who try to push a narrative that all African foreign nations are illegals.
