Great initiative by #GreatmanMusic. RETWEET and help him reach as many people as possible!
You know what, my people? A retweet costs you nothing. And when you see somebody who is disabled, like Great Man, pushing this initiative, it should shame us who are able-bodied that we are not able to assist those who are disabled.
The least we can do is to RETWEET so that those who have the heart to help can actually support this cause.
So I ask you again, please RETWEET this initiative that Great Man, who is disabled, has started to assist people like him who are disabled.
It costs you nothing at all as a Zimbabwean or an African to simply RETWEET, or as any other nationality.
This is one of the most shameful and sinister corruption scandals in Zimbabwe by a president in our country's history.
It was masterminded by a man who is not only notoriously corrupt, but also dangerously destructive in his obsessive pursuit of illicit wealth.
His billion-dollar empire, built on looted public funds, continues to grow while millions of ordinary Zimbabweans suffer and die in penury without even painkillers in sight.
At the centre of this outrageous scandal is Mnangagwa’s family company, Geo Pomona Waste Management, a front for siphoning off public money from the devolution fund meant for local councils. Though Delish Nguwaya is paraded as the face of Geo Pomona, the real beneficiaries are the Mnangagwa family.
Emmerson Mnangagwa continues to use state resources to push this company to loot state coffers, today he is at Geo Pomona Waste to gloss over the new corrupt pathways this company it taking to loot public funds across Zimbabwe.
The City of Harare entered into a deeply corrupt 30-year deal with Geogenix BV, agreeing to pay US$40 per tonne of waste delivered to the Pomona facility run by a local subsidiary called Geo Pomona Waste.
This translates to a minimum of US$14.6 million annually, or US$41,000 per day.
These are guaranteed payments, even if no waste is delivered.
In 2022, the city was paying at least US$22,000 a day. After the rigged 2023 elections, the deal was revised, as reported by DugUp, doubling the daily payment to US$90,000.
All of this public money flows into the Mnangagwa family’s pockets.
This agreement is not just corrupt, it is financially suicidal for Harare residents.
It was crafted to bleed Harare dry, stripping it of assets and land if the deal collapses due to failed payments — and, most critically, devolution funds meant to empower local governance.
I asked the Mayor of Harare, Jacob Mafume, on Tuesday and Wednesday to comment on this corrupt deal, but he said he was not ready to do so.
Councillors who resisted the deal were recalled, first through the Douglas Mwonzora opposition capture project before the 2023 elections, and later via the Sengezo Tshabangu plot which orchestrated and masterminded by Jonathan Moyo, taking over the official opposition and making it a ZANUPF surrogate.
Some councillors were slapped with fake criminal charges and jailed briefly, just long enough to push the deal through ahead of the elections. The day it went to a council vote, Mnangagwa’s son, Sean, was at Harare City Council Town House to ensure it went through.
The deal was forced through by Mnangagwa’s enforcer, former Local Government Minister July Moyo, who directed the city to proceed without tenders or consultations.
It was later endorsed by Harare mayor Jacob Mafume and Local Government Minister Daniel Garwe, one of Mnangagwa’s chief campaigners for 2030.
As with most Mnangagwa linked contracts, this deal bypassed all legal procurement channels.
It was pushed through during a period when unelected ZANUPF aligned councillors controlled the city, thanks to a dubious court ruling by Mnangagwa’s captured judiciary, led by the corrupt and shameless Chief Justice, Luke Malaba.
Going to court is futile. The judiciary has been captured, it has been stacked with loyalists, many of them underqualified. What is needed now is mass civic action by the residents of Harare and a public demand backed by action on the streets (because the law allows that) to recall all the councillors paid bribes to push this corrupt deal through.
July Moyo also secured cabinet approval for central government to misuse devolution funds to service this criminal contract.
This not only misallocates resources, but fatally undermines local government autonomy.
The devolution funds that are being looted to fund this deal are constitutionally mandated financial public money transfers from the central government to local authorities, aimed at promoting equitable development across provinces and districts.
These funds are intended for capital projects that address local infrastructure and service delivery needs, such as building schools, clinics, roads, and water systems.
Using devolution funds intended for local development projects to finance a centrally negotiated contract undermines the very purpose of devolution. Furthermore as I said before, the contract was awarded without an open tender process.
After getting away with it in Harare using corrupt councillors and backed by a captured judiciary — which is in Mnangagwa’s pocket after receiving bribes disguised as fake housing loans, and by packing the bench with his unqualified cronies — Mnangagwa is now rolling out the same corrupt project across the entire country, siphoning devolution funds from Mashonaland to Matabeleland, from Masvingo to the Midlands, and across to Manicaland.
It is a corrupt scandal that demands immediate action. It must be stopped now, or the Mnangagwa family will end up owning most city council properties and land if the government becomes financially crippled deliberately and fails to service this outrageous and corrupt deal.
Geogenix BV, formerly Integrated Energy BV, has a tainted record in Europe.
It was embroiled in corruption scandals in Albania and accused of hiding its real ownership, as it is doing in Zimbabwe.
Unfortunately for Zimbabwe, there is no judiciary to turn to in order to stop this dirty, stinking deal.
These stolen funds are what Mnangagwa is using to finance his 2030 presidential term limit extension.
Now, Geo Pomona is preparing to roll out this criminal model across Zimbabwe’s cities and towns after realising that there was no resistance in Harare, it means millions of taxpayers money will be looted openly with fanfare.
Many councillors have told me that their silence is not because they agree, but because they are trapped.
Their political survival depends on Tshabangu, who has promised to illegally extend their terms by two or three years as part of Mnangagwa’s desperate push to remain in power until 2030 violating the constitution.
This is not just a scandal. It is state capture in broad daylight, looting on an industrial scale, sadly there is no opposition to push back, they have been bought.
Emmerson Mnangagwa, Zimbabwe’s corrupt dictator, uses state security forces to crush dissent.
Journalists and whistleblowers who expose his looting are jailed without trial on fabricated charges, while fake news websites are paid to smear them with lies and disinformation.
Parliament has been captured, the judiciary has been captured too, the police are just watching — and captured too. There is no opposition.
The only option left is for residents to oppose this corrupt and industrial-scale looting in the streets!
This corrupt scandal was authored by the Mnangagwas, and they are using Belarus to procure equipment, which will be paid for at inflated prices using devolution funds.
Everywhere you look, they are looting public funds. It is tragic, but it is the reality.
With all these millions being looted, Harare is still infested with huge disgusting piles of rubbish everywhere you look.
I have posted the disgusting contract in my telegram channel, you can get via this link;

You don't blame people compare the Zanupf Government with the Ian Douglas Smith Government. Zanupf ask yourself what you have done to people for them wishing the Ian Douglas Smith was back. Zanupf has destroyed the economy beyond repair.
🟣Dear @nickmangwana,
Over the last few weeks, your Govt has flown private jets to Paris, built VVIP pavilions at the airport, purchased new luxury cars for your motorcades and paid for luxury villas that weren’t completed. This was all paid for by the fiscus. However, when it comes to feeding your own people, you put out a begging bowl. Are you not ashamed at this shameless lack of priorities?
We need new leaders.🇿🇼
This is Namatai Kwekweza, a young Zimbabwean activist who was abducted from a plane last week by crookED Emmerson’s secret service thugs.
As you can see, she was beaten and held incommunicado for 8 hours at Robert Mugabe Airport.
She is accused of committing a crime in Zimbabwe on a day she was actually in South Africa.
crookED Emmerson’s secret service thugs hid her passport so she couldn’t prove her location on the day she is supposed to have committed the so called crime.
However, the South African travel agent who issued her ticket has confirmed that she was in South Africa.
The fact that she was arrested and tortured by state security thugs is deeply disturbing and highlights the challenges faced by activists and opposition figures in Zimbabwe.
It is crucial that her case be brought to light and that pressure be applied to ensure her safety and release, as well as that of other detained activists.
Zimbabwe has a president with a criminal mind who has looted public funds and plundered the country’s natural resources ruthlessly.
Whenever he is challenged, he abducts, tortures, arrests, and jails those who stand up to his criminality!
Namatai Kwekweza's story is a reminder of the importance of defending human rights and promoting democracy, even in the face of opposition and repression.
RETWEET her sorry so that the world understands what Zimbabweans are up against!
RETWEET
If the current Zimbabwean government were a person, it would be sentenced to life in prison for the continued looting that has been happening after the military coup!
According to the Auditor General’s 2023 report, the corrupt regime supposedly bought 3 buses, 60 motor vehicles, and 167 laptops; NOTHING WAS DELIVERED!
This shocking revelation is further proof of the widespread rampant corruption plaguing Zimbabwe under ZANUPF and President Mnangagwa.
The fact that the government can purchase so many items and not deliver a single one is a clear indication of serious criminal behaviour that must be addressed NOW by any means necessary.
It is upsetting to think that these resources, which could have been used to improve the lives of Zimbabweans, have been squandered by corrupt ZANUPF officials who prioritise their own greed over the well being of the nation.
Zimbabwean hospitals don’t even have paracetamol, pensioners are not being paid their pensions, and citizens don’t have clean drinking water.
The Zimbabwean Government and State are under the firm grip of a criminal mafia that won’t stop until STOPPED!

The engine of looting public funds in Zimbabwe under the Mnangagwa regime is the Ministry of Finance.
The ministry is purported to have given US$11.7 million to other departments, yet the Auditor General found that only US$8.4 million was accounted for.
US$3.3 million was LOOTED!
The Permanent Secretary, George Guvamatanga, is accused of asking for bribes to facilitate the release of funds to pay invoices.
The Minister of Finance, Mthuli Ncube, is a failed banker who is also a South African citizen and is building a massive mansion in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The fact that the Ministry of Finance, which is supposed to be responsible for managing public funds, is actually engaging in bribery and embezzlement is astounding.
George Guvamatanga's alleged role in demanding bribes to release public funds is not only reprehensible and indicative of systemic rot within the ministry, but it is also disgusting, especially as it is happening when Zimbabweans are dying in dilapidated hospitals.
Mthuli Ncube's involvement in these scandals, while simultaneously serving as the Minister of Finance and building a mansion in South Africa, is a blatant abuse of power. These men are corrupt, and one day they will pay a huge price for this plunder.
US$3.3 million could have built 89 maternity theatres, the biggest hospital in Zimbabwe only has ONE maternity theatre build by the colonial government in 1977.

The whole world must now know that the current Zimbabwean parliament is now ILLEGITIMATE!
Its composition is derived from a criminal act of recalling legitimately elected members of parliament from the opposition CCC party by a crook claiming to be the interim Secretary-General of the opposition CCC when he is not!
His corrupt recalls were backed by an equally corrupt, disgraced and captured judiciary.
We know that the weaknesses created by the opposition itself contributed to these criminal acts, but that is a story for another day.
Based on the facts I have stated, the world must know that when it interacts with the current Zimbabwean parliament, it is engaging with an illegitimate parliament which was put together partly through a rigged election and a criminal act of recalling members of parliament.
It doesn’t end there, the recalled members of parliament were then blocked by the corrupt judiciary from contesting the by-elections in order to facilitate the criminal entry into parliament by ZANUPF surrogates running on its ticket in a competition where the opposition candidates were blocked from participating.
So the Zimbabwean parliament is a fraud, one that will taint anyone who gives it legitimacy both home and abroad!
The fact that the opposition might fail to get this message solidly across the world means that every sane and patriotic Zimbabwean must spread this word!
The interference by a corrupt judiciary highlights the dead end that anyone opposed to ZANUPF has reached when seeking fair arbitration in Zimbabwean courts, it also shows the challenges within the Zimbabwean political landscape where state institutions are captured!
The rigged shambolic elections and the subsequent illegal and criminal recalls make the current Zimbabwean parliament illegitimate, it is a crime scene that shouldn’t be sanitised!
Engaging with the current parliament will be giving legitimacy to these criminal acts that I have outlined!
Citizens must play a role in spreading awareness wherever they are as a collective patriotic act of demanding accountability.
Institutions built out of criminal acts are of significant concern that warrants attention and dialogue both domestically and on the international stage.
You can’t get legitimate outcomes and laws from an illegitimate parliament whose outcome is built on a criminal foundation!
150,000 Palestinians have been killed and injured by Israel, since 2008.
33,000 of those were children. But no one talks about it, no one calls them terrorists.
NO ONE SAID A WORD.

The head of the SADC observer mission on the #ZimbabweElections2023 has said
“the election fell short of the requirements of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, the Electoral Act, and the SADC Principles and and Guidelines Governing Democratic Elections (2021).”
This is very worrying
REPOST for awareness
The East and Horn of Africa Election Observers Network has released a statement in solidarity with detained @ercafrica and @ZESN1 local election observers.
They are urging the Zimbabwean authorities to immediately release the observers and return the confiscated materials.
ZanuPf and @PoliceZimbabwe’s senseless raid of the ERC and ZESN data centre, arrest and detention of 41 observers further deteriorates the credibility of the elections which was grossly tarnished by @ZECzim’s WEAPONISED INCOMPETENCE which resulted in serious voter suppression across the country.

My interview on @cnni explaining that the current Zimbabwean election is a step from the gutter into the sewer.
Not even by Robert Mugabe’s very low standard was such an embarrassing election delivered.
I explain the accompanying disasters that always follow disputed elections and how they will affect the region.

Dear Election Observers,
Here is an example of blatant ZANUPF voter intimidation and rigging of the election.
ZANUPF is taking ID Numbers and names of voters before they vote, and telling them that it will know who they would have voted for.
This is illegal, and it is also illegal to set up a desk inside the 300 meter radius of a polling station.
This is a powerful message for all Black Folks.
RETWEET it so that many of us hear it, and reflect on it.
The truth hurts, but nobody develops without the truth being told and acting on it.
Muzarabani is making progress.
We can do this Zimbabwe. Do not fear FAZ we even know the WhatsApp numbers they will use for their v11s. They did they see Mandla coming.
Let's get it right, be a volunteer, be an agent.
Vote BIG and protect your vote.

Dear Election Observers,
Zimbabwe is going into a discredited election with political prisoners in jail.
Job Sikhala who is an opposition MP for the main opposition CCC and lawyer has been in jail for over 14 months without conviction.
The Zimbabwean judiciary has denied him bail, bail is a right according to the Zimbabwean constitution.
Job Sikhala’s only crime is speaking out against repression and violence against opposition supporters.
Jacob Ngarivhume was jailed for 4 years in May this year for calling for an anti corruption demonstration.
Something that is allowed and guaranteed in Zimbabwe’s constitution.
Please RETWEET so that the world knows the truth about these 2 men and how the election is a window dressing activity where the updated Voters Roll has not been released 8 days before the election.
I urge all genuine opposition leaders to talk about the plight of these 2 men as you address your rallies.
