🔸Good morning Minister @MhonaFelix,

1. Why is Mr Tagwirei allowed to drive unregistered vehicles that bear no number plate and do no display vehicle licenses?

2. Is Mr Tagwirei exempt from complying with the clear terms of the Road Traffic Act and attendant regulations?

3. Did you not launch a @PoliceZimbabwe blitz to curb such unlawful conduct?

4. Is there one law for @ZANUPF_Official and then another law for the rest of us?

Please advise.

We need new leaders.🇿🇼

This is the reality of corruption and plunder.
This truck which was carrying prisoners to Mazowe prison got stuck in the mud two days ago on Old Mazowe road.

43 years after independence, roads that lead to important institutions are still like this!

Look at the truck, it is open and it was raining too, it is as if prisoners have no human rights at all.

In a normal country you would have a secure prison bus, but due to corruption and plunder, they move prisoners around in open trucks oblivious to the danger this causes to the public too if any of the prisoners escapes.

The sad thing is that the average Zimbabwean ignores this because we are so conditioned to mediocrity, we now think that this is normal.

Infrastructure shortcomings have serious consequences and this should never be normalised in a country that is so wealthy in natural resources and human resource capital like Zimbabwe.

It is important to break the cycle of accepting incompetent outcomes which are driven by corrupt rule.
It doesn’t matter whether you are in jail or at home, corrupt and incompetent rule will always locate you!

Imagine ruling elites are buying cars for each other and looting public funds when the country is in this state!
This is the true definition of Arrested Development!

The maintenance of city roads falls under the purview of Local Authorities (City Fathers). Since 2000, there has been evidence of serious ineptitude by these Authorities in a number of service delivery areas, which include, refuse collection, water treatment and supply, road maintenance and street lighting. To alleviate the suffering urban dwellers, Govt started making interventions such as buying chemicals for water treatment, deploying the ERRP2 program for roads and EMA taking charge of refuse collection and the Geopomona Project. There are always celebrations when Council Election Results are announced. Every ratepayer should ask themselves what they are really celebrating; these urban gullies in the picture?

NO @nickmangwana, you shouldn’t LIE to your followers and Zimbabweans in general.
As the Government of Zimbabwe’s Permanent Secretary for Information and Government’s Chief Spokesman, you are expected to tell the truth.

You are getting away with these lies because the opposition has no dedicated shadow cabinet minister for Local Government, but we won’t let you lie on a public platform so we I will correct your lies!

LIE Number ONE
1. The Cities of Harare, Bulawayo and the rest of the country were responsible for road maintenance and collection of road levies and taxes, but in order to cripple them and steal public funds, the ZANUPF central Government changed the law using its majority in parliament and left cities without power to collect road taxes but responsibility to fix them.

So all road levies, taxes, toll gate fees and the fuel levy which are supposed to fix the roads are collected by central government (read ZANUPF) not the cities.

Bulawayo got US$800k only for roads from central government against over US$24 million that central government collected from Bulawayo motorists.
Where did the over US$23,2 million go?

How do you expect a city like Bulawayo to maintain roads when you are taking millions and only giving Bulawayo US$800k?
Bulawayo needs at least US$15 million for road maintenance fixing things like potholes.
The money is there but central government is looting it.

In Harare motorists pay around US$64 million, but you gave Harare city council only US$2 million, where did the US$62 million go from toad motor tax paid by Harare motorists?

This is only road motor taxes that relate to the above figures, I haven’t touched fuel levies, carbon tax, or toll gate fees.

LIE Number TWO
2. The cities were responsible for buying their water chemicals, but you directed them to buy chemicals from only ONE company, Chemplex.
That parastatal has old equipment which breaks down regularly.
When the machines are not working, the cities are stuck.

Secondly, Zimbabwean law says that it is the ZANUPF central government that is supposed to provide water sources, the money meant for these dams has been looted for decades.

Harare’s main source of water, Lake Chivero was built by the colonial government led by Prime Minister Godfrey Huggins in 1950-52.

We got independence in 1980 and we inherited plans to build Kunzvi Dam from the Rhodesians, sadly the money was looted by successive ZANUPF Governments.

In 1996 we came close to having the dam built, but the money was again looted and the French company that was supposed to build it walked away.

In 2022 ZINWA awarded ZANU-PF oligarch Kuda Tagwirei a US$132 million tender to construct a dam in Nkayi, what has happened to that @nickmangwana

So it is not the responsibility of local authorities to build dams or to supply water sources, it is the central government and it is inked in our constitution, it is law!

Lie Number THREE
3. Refuse collection is the responsibility of cities but procurement is done at the direction of central government.

For instance, City of Harare was being forced to use trucks owned by ZANUPF MP and Minister, the late Biggie Matiza.
The cities would not get foreign currency to procure equipment except during the GNU, but he would get it at the same central bank.

Final Point.
The Zimbabwean economy is run by ZANUPF and not by local authorities.
Cities collect rates in Zim dollars, when they apply for forex, they are not given because the forex is looted by you know who, ZANUPF political elites.

ZANUPF elites smuggle gold worth US$6 million everyday to Dubai and leave the money there.

I have had to address your misinformation and the mismanagement by the ZANUPF government because of your continued lying.

Operations related to road maintenance, and water supply have been crippled by ZANUPF.

When Ignatius Chombo was Local Government minister, the looting was on steroids as council would be made to make three payments for one consignment of chemicals.

I bought some watches in America three weeks ago, but the belts were loose on my hands.
So today I went to a watchmaker at Sam Levy’s Village to get the belts adjusted.

As I walked into the shop, a young girl was sitting at reception with a young boy who was playing with his phone.

I assumed correctly that they were the watchmaker’s kids.
I requested to see the watchmaker, the young girl asked what it is that I needed done.

I told her that I needed the belts adjusted, she calmly said it costs US$5 per watch.
Where is the watchmaker I asked, I am the watchmaker today she responded with confidence.

I hesitantly gave her the first watch, she measured my wrist and she got down to work.

She sat down on the work station and adjusted the belts, she is only 15 years old.
She started fixing watches when she was in Grade 7 (12 years old), she told me.

If you teach your kids your trade, they can earn some money when need be, it reminded me of the importance of teaching someone how to fish, instead of giving them fish daily.

One day you won’t be there to give them fish and they won’t know what to do it.
This kid told me that she wants to be a professional watchmaker when she finishes school.

Why not when she already fixes watched already at 15, in a normal environment Government would catch these kids when they are young through vocational training for school kids.

I hasten to say political parties can also provide spaces for training like what the EFF does in South Africa uplifting kids especially from poor backgrounds.

This kid could end up as a watchmaker in Switzerland, it starts with society allowing her to follow her dream by providing a conducive environment.

Her brother was just watching as she did her work, it shows that if girls are taught a trade, they can do it too just like boys.

My initial hesitancy was caused by our societal bias, I thought Tapiwa's brother would be the one to do the job instead of her, I was wrong.

As I left I jokingly asked her brother if he was the receptionist, he got the message.
Give them business if you want your watch fixed, they are at Sam Levy close in the block opposite TV Sales and Hire.

Just ask where the watchmaker's shop is.
