President Liberty, Dylan, Richard and Takunda were granted bail by the High Court yesterday. Yet they remain behind bars tonight. Court clerks made errors in the record. Now we’re told an urgent chamber application is needed to fix paperwork. This is not justice. Denying bail through administrative processes must be condemned. It violates their constitutional right to bail.

We demand their immediate release. #FreeThemNow

Despite the High Court granting bail to our comrades,the State continues to keep them in custody, forcing them to spend yet another night behind bars.This development raises serious concerns about the respect of fundamental rights.#NoToCab3 #NoTo2030Nonsense #BringBackOurComrades

@daddyhope @PacheduZW Am sure you didnt really expect NC to support the Geza revolution, a lot of people didnt!

[Kimberley Timothy Joni @mambojoniZw]

As students, we do not feel represented in Parliament. Not in any real sense. There is nothing “honorable” about so-called Honorables who shout “Yes” to CAB3. None of them have championed pro-student policies. None have sparked debate on education funding. None have raised issues for improvement in our lecture halls and hostels.

They speak for their stomachs. Not for us. We are watching closely.

@PacheduZW Spelling error could it be a mistake?

[Mmusi Maimane MP @MmusiMaimane]

@maphanga_T We must not endorse rigged elections and we must not support repression in SADC be it Eswatini, Zimbabwe or Mozambique.

We have a moral duty to push back on the regimes which are doing these things in SADC.

IMMIGRANT CHILDREN

A child that seeks education must be supported by all of us, a child that seeks immunisation against measles or polio must be given the necessary support we are not a cruel people.

What is a Job of this Obese Zim brother who always hang out with all African Presidents ..

[Doug Coltart ✊🏼🇿🇼 @DougColtart]

.@ProfJNMoyo wants me to explain to him in detail why I say #NoToCAB3. I don’t really have time to engage him individually, but if there’s sufficient interest from all of you, I’ll find time.

So if we can get 1k RTs, I’ll do a series of posts/videos explaining each issue. Deal?

Why we Reject Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3

We reject Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 because it does not strengthen our democracy, it weakens it!

We have grown up believing that every citizen must have an equal voice and that leadership must come from the will of the people. This Bill takes us in the opposite direction. It seeks to remove our right to directly elect the President and instead allows Parliament to choose on our behalf. It replaces one person, one vote with decisions made by a few.

We reject this Bill because it extends presidential and parliamentary terms from five to seven years, keeping leaders in power longer without returning to the people for a fresh mandate. No leader should benefit from changing the rules while already in office.

We reject this Bill because it avoids the referendum required by Section 328 of the Constitution. If these changes are truly in the national interest, then citizens themselves must be allowed to decide.

We reject this Bill because it concentrates more power in the hands of the President: more unelected Senators, more control over Parliament, more influence over the courts, and more control over elections. A democracy is strongest when power is shared and institutions remain independent.

We reject this Bill because it weakens the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, undermines the independence of the judiciary, and abolishes institutions that protect peace, accountability and gender equality. These institutions exist to serve the people, not those in power.

As a generation, as ordinary people, we cannot remain silent when our Constitution is being changed in ways that reduce our voice and our rights.

We, the citizens, reject this Bill in its entirety!

We demand two referendums on Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3.

Nothing for the citizens without the citizens!

President of CCC quiet as a church mouse. He is also a lawyer. These people are really cruel. Completely destroyed gains from the 2023 elections for selfish reasons.

[Makhosi @Princmarcoss]

We appreciate the important question raised by Mmusi Maimane to the Presidency regarding developments in Zimbabwe. Accountability and regional stability matter, and silence on such issues only deepens concern.

[Mmusi Maimane MP @MmusiMaimane]

I asked the Deputy President what @PresidencyZA would do about Zimbabwe? There is an evil man trying to cling on to power named @edmnangagwa.

If we do nothing about the crisis of in Zimbabwe we will continue to drown in the costs of failed democracy in Zimbabwe as South Africa.

Why isn't China intervening to stop the US war of aggression against Iran?

Somehow this is still a question people are asking, so I will explain.

1. China's military is built to defend China within and along its borders against a massive and growing US military build-up all along its peripheries ongoing for decades.

Its forces are organized around hardware designed specifically for this purpose - not to project military power around the globe like the US does - and the US has these capabilities because it is an aggressor - not for national defense.

China literally has no ability to project the military power required to confront and successfully stop a full-scale US war of aggression on the other side of the planet with the capabilities it has for national defense;

2. In order to launch this war on Iran - the US spent decades building up a network of global and regional bases, logistical networks, ammunition depots, fuel dumps, regional integrated air defense capabilities etc. to first encircle Iran - then attack it.

China would be required to create an equal or greater network throughout the region to stop this- and this simply isn't possible;

3. The US built its network up through both politically capturing nations in the region (Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait) and invading/occupying them (Iraq & Syria).

China simply doesn't conduct its foreign policy this way - because if it did - it would be just as bad as the US itself;

4. If you think China could simply project military power over the horizon - this is even more difficult and unrealistic. This requires huge amounts of long-range aircraft, immense aerial refueling capabilities, and long-range munitions as well as forward bases at least near the region to do so.

Sending naval vessels would simply place them at the mercy of a better prepared and more extensive military positions the US has established over decades as explained above;

5. What China has likely done is all that it could do - provide economic support against illegal US sanctions, provide technical/material support for Iran's military industrial production, provide military support through the transfer of weapons and equipment.

All of these have their limits especially in terms of the transfer of military equipment to Iran - which takes YEARS to train Iranian personnel on EFFECTIVELY, as well as to integrate it through training in modern combined arms operations.

This last point regarding the amount of time it takes to effectively integrate new military hardware into a military is exactly why Ukraine has failed to absorb and fully utilize floods of Western weapons and equipment in the US proxy war on Russia being waged there.

CONCLUSION

There are real-world limitations on what nations like Russia and China can do against US wars of aggression elsewhere especially considering the fact the US is waging proxy war on both Russia and China at the same time it wages direct war on Iran.

Russia and China are doing what is realistic and within their capabilities - and are constantly expanding their own capabilities in order to do more when possible.

Do not confuse real limitations with a lack of concern or will - and realize blaming Russia or China for a US WAR OF AGGRESSION simply serves Washington's agenda - not Iran's or any of its allies.
