If I were in the government of Zimbabwe, I would spend zero on these; leave them at Beitbridge, they will cross back after a day or two. No point Let them go back the way they came in. Most of them are just looking for free fares to get back home temporarily. If they really wanted to go bavk they would have found means long back.
Congratulations to all these patriotic MPs who voted no today against the desecration of our national Constitution.
I condemn every single so called opposition MP who voted yes including many who come from #Bulawayo.
Their yes vote is an utter betrayal of the electorate.
Dear @nickmangwana,
I hope you have seen the pictures that have gone viral on social media showing Zimbabweans sleeping outside the Zimbabwean Consulate in Cape Town in winter temperatures running away from xenophobic harassment, hate and violence.
Surely, as a government, you can do something to assist your own people in such circumstances. Imagine, Nick, if it were your wife and children sleeping outside in the Southern African winter, exposed to temperatures close to zero degrees. No reasonable person would find that acceptable.
The government has the resources and the responsibility to intervene. At the very least, these Zimbabweans should not be left to sleep on the pavement in the cold.
Why do we have to be so cruel to our own people? What is the purpose of having a government if it cannot step in when its citizens are in obvious distress? These are the same Zimbabweans who, in better times, send remittances back home that sustain families and contribute significantly to the country’s economy.
I hope you will not simply look at these images and move on. I hope you will bring this matter to the attention of your principals and urge them to act. Sometimes I wonder whether President Emmerson Mnangagwa is fully aware of situations such as this, because I struggle to believe that any sane and compassionate leader could see fellow citizens enduring these conditions and simply carry on as if nothing is wrong.
These people are not mere statistics. They are Zimbabweans. They deserve dignity, compassion, and assistance from the government that claims to represent them.
This Zimbabwean man was attacked in Cape Town by Afrophobics the next day after visiting South Africa to see his relative. He was fully documented and did not commit a crime or steal anyone's job. It's time we start asking South Africans in Zimbabwe to go back home as well.
Today, history will be written in Parliament. As we cast our votes on a matter of great national importance,I carry with me the hopes,voices,and aspirations of my constituency.I will stand firm,guided by the trust you placed in me. I will not disappoint you.Your voice is my vote.
What does Parliamentary Code of Conduct say, about this MP who received a gift for supporting CAB3?
CCC MP, S. Mureyani collected her vehicle and 50k from WeakNail Chivhayo.
Is she going to be allowed to vote?
STATEMENT
Today I was ejected from Parliament after contributing for just 2 minutes; the rules state that a member is entitled to 20 minutes. I understand why they stopped me; but I remain in absolute and unyielding opposition to CAB3 so help me God. I don’t care whether I am removed from PAC chair or recalled from Parliament all together; I stand for nothing and nothing else but the truth. I will never ever ever betray my conscience and those who elected me. God bless you and goodnight
Hon C Matewu
@TembaMliswa If CAB3 is so popular, then let it go through a referendum. Let all citizens cast their votes. The MPs are already compromised in this change as they will benefit without our consent; so they can’t make this so important decision without talking to us.
🔹Two years ago, the TEMU President paid social media influencers, such as Rutendo Matinyarare, to spread falsehoods and tarnish Innscor's reputation by accusing them of selling GMO products, and that matter is still ongoing in court. His goal was to drive them out of the market to promote his own brand. Such actions are malicious and self-serving, demonstrating a hatred for fair competition and a reliance on smear campaigns and mudslinging to eliminate rivals. He is evil and must be stopped!
