This wine brand called Kumusha is made by a Zimbabwean called @tnashenyamudoka.
Imagine if ALL Zimbabweans who see this tweet would repost it to give Tinashe’s wine brand more visibility as we head towards Christmas.
Imagine each time you see Kumusha you would repost it, imagine what it would do for Tinashe’s wines.
I say so because Black Zimbabweans struggle to support each other even with reposts or retweets that won’t cost them a single penny.
It is the reason why our struggles have taken so long to succeed, we focus more where there is personal benefit than giving another person from our community a push.

Why do dominant parties continue to win elections despite signficant governance failures? In our new piece in Democratization on South Africa's 2019 election, @ColletteSchulzH and I suggest that opposition parties deserve much of the blame:
