@nickmangwana You idiot. Zimbabweans are a burden to South Africa because of Zanu PF. You are your party has lost elections since 2000. Please go dine with your mother in the grave
Tafadzwa Matanhuse was granted bail this afternoon by Chiredzi magistrate following his #outrageous arrest for inciting public violence. Tafadzwa is a vendor whose premises were destroyed by Zanu Pf recently, drawing widespread condemnation from citizens across the country.
The Senate's passage of CAB3 does not mark the end of the struggle to defend Zimbabwe's Constitution.
Our fight has never been confined to Parliament. We remain fully engaged in the courts and, together with our Alliance partners, will soon announce the next phase of lawful, peaceful constitutional action under Section 59.
Remain engaged. Remain alert. Remain vigilant.
The citizens of Zimbabwe are the last line of defence for the Constitution.

In Syria, Assad had consolidated. Both Assads used force, capture of institutions, illegalities, constitutional amendments, etc. to bypass democratic standards. The regime felt invincible, dribbling the people. Even the 'international community' was beginning to talk of regime re-engagement. And then one Sunday morning in December 2024 it all came down crumbling. Assad is now in exile.
As they say, a day is long in politics.
The End.
Today, on the 24th of June, Commander Sonia Marrion approached the Munhumutapa building with a message on behalf of #WeThePeople. She boldly asked the Head of State to call for a referendum before assenting to CAB3. She further advised Emmerson that if he chooses to abdicate from his duties, #WeThePeople will not hesitate to organize a People’s Referendum and go on to restore constitutional order in this Republic.
Makomborero Haruzivishe, a spokesperson for the @cdfzim (CDF), a group campaigning against the amendments, said: “It is a calculated constitutional coup against the people of Zimbabwe. It strips citizens of the fundamental right to directly elect their president, replacing popular sovereignty with parliamentary selection by a captured legislature.”

One correction - there is no “opposition under Tshabangu” - it is just Zanu PF in disguise. In fact they are worse than Zanu PF.
At least with Zanu PF MPs you get what you see and expect, namely there is less guile. With the so called “CCC opposition” all one gets is deception: they pretend they are opposition but the reality is that they are not and only stood for the CCC because that was the only way to get elected in urban areas.
Their goal was to get into public office, not to genuinely represent the interests of those who elected them.
Bail Granted for Tafadzwa Matanhuse.
He was arrested for calling out the leadership after they destroyed vending shelves in Chiredzi town.
He was represented by Masvingo Urban MP who is also a prominent Human Rights Lawyer Hon Mureri.
Chiredzi Central MP Hon Makumire was in support together with his fellow vendors.
This systematic oppressive act by the government coordinating with the police and the courts has always been used to persecute individuals who oppose the state.
🔴This is Tafadzwa Matanhuse, a young man accused of “inciting violence” in Zimbabwe.
Are we living in a country where we're not allowed to express our frustrations? #FixTheCountry#Justice
We, the People, have spoken:
THERE WILL BE A REFERENDUM! 🗳️
If the President ignores the clear provisions of the Constitution and denies the people a say on this Bill then we, the people, must organize our own referendum!
#NoToCAB3#OneManOneVote
#WeThePeople wrote to the President yesterday reminding him of his duty to uphold the Constitution and urging him to publicly state that he will follow the Constitution and NOT sign the Bill unless it is first submitted to the people in a referendum. If he fails to respond then We, the People, shall organize our own referendum! #NoToCAB3 #OneManOneVote #ReferendumNOW #WhyAreYouScaredOfAReferendum
No one wants ED till 2030.
It’s these thieves, crooks, low IQ supporters & chancers, who want a life for the few sacrificing the many.
ZANU PF is rubbish and everyone knows it. People are is absolute poverty but prefer that than fixing the system.

Tafadzwa Matanhuse committed no crime. He is being punished for SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER just as the prophets of old did and were similarly punished by evil kings who feared the truth.
Thank you Tafadzwa for being a prophetic voice speaking up for the poor. And thank you @ropamakumire and all the vendors of Chiredzi who stood in solidarity with him.
#FreeTafadzwa #DropTheCharges
🔸The despicable arrest of Tafadzwa Matanhuse tells us everything we need to know about this Govt. They are anti-poor, anti-progress and anti-people. You violently destroy people’s source of livelihood then gaslight us all by arresting them on a bogus charge of “incitement to violence” for calling out your callousness? What a shameful, vile lot you all are.
2030 kuti mumbunyikidze vanhu? Zvimwe nyarai.
We need new leaders.🇿🇼
Whether it is 216 v 42 or 75 v 4, Parliament has confirmed what we knew and expected all along- useless, anti-people and always ready to abuse its power. CAB 3 has been REJECTED by the people, it will remain REJECTED. We have 2 strategies: courts and PEOPLE POWER. We will win!
It is NOT over. The struggle against this project to take Zimbabwe back to minority rule by a handful of wealthy elites is only just getting started! The people shall govern!
