Today I spoke to world leaders on how we can drive forward action to support a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.
We must keep increasing the pressure on Putin to come to the table.
And we must keep strengthening the support to our Ukrainian friends.
🔸Good day @marapira_farai,
Confirm this audio is authentic? If so, why does Christopher Mutsvangwa hate your Vice-President so much? Does Mutsvangwa want to become the VP? What’s all this in-fighting? Kuti munosvika Independence zvisati zvaputika? I doubt it.
We need new leaders.🇿🇼
WE WILL DEFEAT OUR OPPRESSORS…I have lately been reading the book of Judges, particularly chapters 6-8. These chapters about the story of Gideon have been of great inspiration to me .
Our circumstances, although painfully difficult, sometimes seemingly unbearable, do not equate to the absence of God. God is in it. He is for us. He is with us and He is the determiner and definer of our destiny as a people. And we shall be victorious!
When we walk through the difficult times, dark isles and hard places, we must continue to trust Him.
Cry out for help to our Great God. He hears us. He sees us. He knows us. He loves us. He created us.
We are seen, heard, known and loved beyond measure, more than anything we could possibly imagine.
There is never a time or a place in our lives where He has abandoned or forsaken us and there never will be. Do not allow your circumstances to diminish your faith.
God meets us right where we are, nomatter our circumstances or situations. Zimbabwe is in His hands.
God meets us right there in the midst of our challenges, persecutions, trials, struggles and agonies. We are taken through the fires not to be burned and punished, but to be purified and saved. He walks us, and even carries us through them.
God chose Gideon to lead Israel against the OPPRESSIVE Midianites because he wanted to demonstrate his power through Gideon's weaknesses. Gideon was not an obvious choice, but God's choice was faithful and obedient.
Gideon defeated the Midianites, even though he was inadequate and outnumbered.
God trimmed and thinned out Gideon’s army from 32,000 down to 300 men so that when they won the battle they would not boast in themselves but it would be clearly known that only God could have accomplished this.
God reduced the forces of Gideon in order to prove that the victory would be His.
Our victory is settled! God is in it . We’re in it ! #Godisinit
1/ On Monday, I was requested to testify before (Rtd) Justice Maphosa Cheda at the Harare City Commission inquiry, a forum set up by Mr Mnangagwa.
2/ I have reservations about the foundation of the Commission. However, out of courtesy, and being an officer of the Court and Justice, I obliged.
3/ The Commission sought my response to claims purportedly made by a councillor mentioning my name in connection with the so-called "regularisation process" of the Harare City Council.
4/ I made it unequivocally clear: I have no locus to comment on local authority issues. I am neither a councillor, mayor, local government official, nor part of central government. Urban councils are statutory bodies governed by the Urban Councils Act. Decisions arise from council committees or full council motions—not external actors or political parties.
5/ An audio was played at the hearing, said to be of the councillor referring to me as a leader of a party. Its amateurish presentation, played from a phone, raised questions about its authenticity and veracity. Yet, I responded to avoid embarrassing the commission. For the record, I would not recognise the named councillor if we met face to face. The voice on the audio also mentioned Mr Mnangagwa. I pointed out that if my presence was deemed necessary, based merely on this audio, then the same courtesy should surely be extended to Mr Mnangagwa, whose name was also mentioned.
6/ The principle is clear: he who alleges must prove. It is unjust to summon private individuals based on unsubstantiated claims. The law demands evidence, not speculative accusations.
7/ I wish to state the following for the record; as a human rights defender, a justice champion and a consummate constitutionalist, I strongly condemn the destruction of people’s homes. Using bulldozers to erase lives and livelihoods is criminal, sadistic and inhumane. This is not justice; it is evidence a systemic leadership failure and a mockery of human rights.
8/ This is not the first time a commission has been used as a diversion from addressing real issues. In 2018, Mr. Mnangagwa established the Motlanthe Commission following disputed General Elections. I was summoned before the commission over a matter entirely unrelated to me. Now in 2023, the same pattern is repeated, where I am once again being drawn into issues far beyond my purview.
9/ This governance crisis cannot be resolved by malicious intent and unwarranted targeting of innocent individuals through commissions. It requires genuine accountability and action to address the root causes.
10/ Corruption, maladministration, and bad governance are eroding our towns, cities, and country. These cancers must be rooted out. Local governance has become a theatre of incompetence and impunity. It is a crisis compounded by a small grouping that weaponises inquiries to distract from its dire failures. It is time to hold accountable those truly responsible for this decay.
This is a huge day for Britain.
After 14 years of decline, we will invest in our country - rebuilding our schools, hospitals and roads.
We won’t shy away from the tough decisions to grow our economy and protect working people’s payslips.
There is a brighter future ahead.
In May 2024 Rishi Sunak explained 5 times why he was releasing prisoners early from prison
He released over 10,000
Did anyone remember newspaper journalists and TV crews outside prisons interviewing the early released prisoners?
