Fellow Zimbabweans, Sons and Daughters of the Soil,
Today, history repeats its darkest hour. In 1965, Ian Smith and his minority regime issued the Unilateral Declaration of Independence - a brazen act of defiance that stole the birthright of the majority, entrenching power in the hands of the few while trampling the will of the people.
Now, @edmnangagwa and his allies in @ParliamentZim have passed CAB3 - their own Unilateral Declaration of State Capture.
By abolishing direct presidential elections, extending terms to seven years, placing the votersβ roll under partisan control, and appointing senators at the presidentβs pleasure, they have declared independence from the Zimbabwean people.
This is not reform. This is theft β the theft of your voice, your future, and your childrenβs democracy. Smith feared black majority rule; Mnangagwa fears the sovereign power of ordinary citizens.
Enough is ENOUGH!
Rise up, ordinary Zimbabweans - in the diaspora , farms, villages, townships, ghettoes, mines, and streets.
Our forebears fought against colonial minority rule. Let us not surrender to this new elite capture.
Reject CAB3 with one voice.
Defend the Constitution.
Demand your right to choose your leaders.
The power belongs to us the majority people, not to the few elites.
Zimbabwe will not be captured.
We the people will not bow.
Let us stand up; The time for resistance is here.
Yesterday, I voted NO to CAB3.
I spoke against it and stood with the 42 MPs who opposed the Bill because I believe constitutional rights, democratic accountability and the will of the people must always come first.
The ruling party, with support from some opposition benches, secured the two-thirds majority needed to pass the Bill to the Senate.
The vote was lost, but my commitment to the Constitution and to the people who elected me never wavered.
We may not have won yesterday's vote, but we kept faith with the principles we were elected to defend.
The struggle continues. #CAB3 #Constitution #Democracy
NOW THAT #CAB3 IS DONE & DUSTED,ZANU PF MUST NOW GET RID OF CDE CDG CHIWENGA & HIS REBELLIOUS ALLIES OR AT LEAST GIVE HIM AN AMBASSADORIAL ROLE IN SOMALIA,AWAY FROM GVT BUSINESS.CLEARLY THE MAN HAS BEEN SABOTAGING HIS SUPERIOR, CDE PRESIDENT EMMERSON MNANGAGWA,ZANU PF & THE GOVT.

Many people wonder why I get so defensive about my work on sanctions. I want you to take a moment to think about this: these notebooks contain some of my first notes of 8 years of self-taught study of sanctions.
This page is where the Patriot Act came from. In this notebook, I also mastered the function of the Financial Action Task Force at a time when the West had Zimbabwe on the greylist and wanted to push it to the blacklist for money laundering. Their aim was to remove sanctions while keeping us under the FATF blacklist, which would have had the sme effect as sanctions.
@BMutebuka While I agree with some of your post on this one no, I don't think chiwenga has done anything at the moment , what I know and sure 100% is that when duty calls Chiwenga's camp will answer. We are only praying kuti it will be a smooth shift.

Itβs not late for @LynneStactia & @mawarirej to join the winning teamβ¦
The FOCUS now is attainment of Vision 2030, no time for unproductive politicking!
Zimbabwe is a DEVELOPING COUNTRY, the number 1 priority is, & should be, DEVELOPMENT!
