You’ve seen #ThePolygamist and saw how Jonasi went out… just know, that is not just TV drama, it is real life consequences.

Multiple partners without protection increase your risk of STIs and HIV. Ignoring treatment does not make it go away, it makes it worse.

Knowing your status is power. Using protection is responsibility. Taking your treatment is survival.

If you stopped treatment, come back, reinitiate and stay on it to achieve an undetectable viral load. This means living a healthier life with zero risk of passing HIV on to others.

Remember, prevention options such as PrEP and Lenacapavir can help protect against HIV, but condoms are still essential to protect against STIs like gonorrhoea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia and more, as well as unwanted pregnancies.

Commissars, fighters, ground forces, fellow South Africans, Africans, and diaspora, Good morning. We must never compromise our revolutionary ideas for political expediency. True feelings of love must drive us and therefore say to the person next to you that revolutionary good morning.

Please give those African children a big hug to remind them that we love them and there's still hope because the @EFFSouthAfrica, a home of the hopeless, is still in existence. We shall overcome, SALUTE!✊🏿

Mary de Haas has no policing experience but speaks with the arrogance of whiteness on matters she is not qualified on.

She says that General Khumalo knows nothing about crime intelligence. Seemingly, she knows more about it than him.

Everything from her mouth is gossip.

PREPARE…Always be ready. You have to be ready! In waiting, you are working. You are working the perfect way and will of God. In the bible, the story of David fascinates me. David was no stranger to the wait. He was chosen king, and yet he had to wait even when Saul was already rejected, dethroned and gone. And as jealousy and vitriol grows, David would have to wait even longer for the throne was assured.

David had to wait patiently in the journey of becoming a model leader. But waiting isn’t wasted when #Godisinit. Waiting is a classroom where character is moulded, purpose refined and faith is forged. Integrity is baked in the oven and furnace of trials and tribulations. Waiting doesn’t mean inactivity; it means being strategic, preparing and planning for the next task, yet refusing the temptation to prematurely grab what God has already given and granted.

And the longer you wait, the more you see who is authentic and who isn’t. In fact, the more you wait, the more you discover that waiting isn’t just about what you’re hoping for, it’s about what’s coming, what its impact would mean and the character it would require. To whom much is given much is expected. The longer the process, the greater the quality.

Make no mistake, waiting is not a waste. It is an investment into what’s coming. The good thing is that the wait is not forever. It is the perfect will of God. Yes, we may be anxious, worried and suffering. But then we are all vessels in the act of plan, act and timing of the Maker. Our timing is not God’s timing. We cannot judge solely on what we see or are experiencing. Let us not be too anxious by what we see or even by the schemes of the sinister and wicked.
He who promised us is faithful. He will consummate His Word and fulfill His promise!
Blessed Sunday!

@BMutebuka May we have an analysis on how Mudenda facilitated a lot of chaos in our country.
My question is should such a position as a speaker of parliament be party affiliated?
I have a very big problem with how the speaker of parliament conducted himself 😭.

[African princess @afrikaex]

@BMutebuka Nuh please sir let’s not focus on those MPs they are a lost cause 😅. They know exactly what they are doing and who their leader is
They failed their country and they shall reap what they sow.

[African princess @afrikaex]

@sonofsadaar If you tell them that they throw tantrums 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I guess they needed employment 🤷🏾‍♀️ what else could they have done in a country with no jobs. I hope they all went to school, they will need to find jobs in a new 🇿🇼 , because Zimbabwe will be saved.

[Sentletse 🇿🇦🇷🇺🇵🇸🇱🇧 @Sentletse]

DA MP Brytenbach’s questions are intended to discredit Mkhwanazi. She’s treating Sibiya like a whistleblower. She was ruse and condescending to Masemola and not Sibiya.

It was the DA that fought for Sibiya to be reinstated when he was fired.

It is in their interest to Mkhwanazi after he had implicated Kohler-Barnard in criminal wrongdoing.

What @nelsonchamisa simply means is this. The same corruption & impunity that underpinned the sham August 2023 elections was enabled by the same system that will return to power if they topple ED without a system overhaul & guardrails so that truly independent institutions can be established.

You will then all experience a short lived / brief moment of euphoria like in November 2017, before finding yourselves in the same cesspool you are drowning in now.

Remember that in November 2017 the late SB Moyo, Chiwenga & ED all promised the people of Zimbabwe that they had learned from the past and were going to govern differently.

The late opposition icon, Morgan Tsvangirai was deceived on his deathbed, so did @nelsonchamisa and others.

Soon after winning that power, they all changed tack & started spouting nonsense about "Chinhu Chedu," taking Zimbabweans for fools.

They all started pretending that they had toppled Robert Mugabe on their own, Chris Mutsvangwa being the worst culprit in gloating & goading the povo.

These are the same people you all want to trust wholeheartedly now, simply because they have fatigued you into finding & seeking solace in them out of desperation.

It is quite remarkable that the same culprits who have been responsible for repeatedly shredding the Constitution to keep ZANU PF unlawfully in power are now arguing that they are best placed to safeguard that same Constitution!

This is simply a game of musical chairs / elite power struggles which are inevitably arising because ED & Chiwenga have fallen out over the 2030 agenda.

If ED is toppled without any safeguards being put in place, Chiwenga & his winning faction will simply do what ED did - inherit the whole repressive infrastructure & stuff it with their own loyalists, with state institutions remaining emasculated.

Free & fair elections will not take place once again & political opponents will run the risk of being subjected to the terrifying bloodbath we witnessed in April - June 2008 if they dare show any dissent, with chants of Shumba Murambwi ED 2030 being replaced with those of Soko 2045!

It is not as if Chiwenga would "rule" on his own. He would have to rely on the same party leaders who have been corrupted on an industrial scale by the current regime - figures with no capacity.

There has always been corruption in ZANU PF since independence.

The solution should simply be for people to be allowed to vote it out of power through free & fair elections in line with the Constitution, not through taking turns to instal a leader unconstitutionally simply because they have gained unprecedented notoriety through capturing the power & loyalty of other state institutions.

@nelsonchamisa, who is a victim of that playbook, has effectively been delegitimised and ridiculed for lacking that arsenal for reasons beyond his control - while, surprise - surprise, it is his arch tormentors who now stand to benefit from their offending behaviour!

Chiwenga owes Zimbabweans for his past misdeeds, of which there are many. He has to seek forgiveness / public penance for them.

He has been complicit in the corruption & egregious human rights violations that have taken place in ZANU PF and in government over many years, from Gukurahundi to the 2000, 2002, 2008 & 2018 elections as well as the violence that took place in 2019 & 2020, the Congo DRC War looting & Chiadzwa as well after the discovery of diamonds there.

As I have highlighted in previous posts, Chiwenga is responsible for foisting ED on Zimbabweans in November 2017 despite knowing all his flaws.

This is why toppling ED can never make Chiwenga a saviour. It will simply be atoning for past sins.

The primary reason why he likely did this was because he wrongly assumed that teaming up with ED was the surest guarantee for him to have his turn of assuming the presidency after ED had completed his two terms - after he had naively & gullibly swallowed ED's reassurances.

Given the above baggage, it is perverse for Zimbabweans to seek to reward that behaviour. What should ordinarily be happening is that, the offending behaviour is punished to serve as a deterrence to dissuade future perpetrators.

I am reasonably satisfied that Chiwenga's current campaign against corruption by Zviganandas is based more on self interest / political expediency to turbo charge his own presidential ambitions than a genuine commitment to curb it.

This is because, up and until it was clear that ED was hellbent on betraying & humiliating Chiwenga through pursuing the 2030 agenda, the latter was happy to maintain a strategic vow of silence on corruption omerta style, so as not to upset the apple cart, as he still naively believed that he stood to inherit the presidency from ED.

So that is where we are. Chiwenga has successfully hoodwinked the public into rallying behind his anti-corruption drive against Zviganandas.

Just like they did with the "Operation Restore Legacy" narrative, he has successfully attributed every social, economic & political ill bedevilling Zimbabwe on Zviganandas.

He is strategically avoiding saying anything about returning to Constitutionalism through embracing free & fair elections, capacitating all state institutions so that they can be independent as well as working with other political & civic figures out of a recognition that due to the same elections, there is currently no legitimate government constituted in Zimbabwe, albeit there is one that is in effective control.

There can be no doubt that Chiwenga has now taken an unassailable lead in the charge to topple ED. The issue is not about wishing him to fail in that endeavour.

It is to pressurise him, to seek to hold him to account, to remind him that he is not doing Zimbabweans a favour by seeking to topple ED - but rather, he is correcting his own earlier misconceived and highly damaging fatal error of judgment.

He cannot and should not be allowed to gain all state power. That is a terrifying prospect. The idea is to encourage him to be sincere and humble, show that he has learned from the past, that it cannot be business as usual and that power should be shared - with him reassuring Zimbabweans that tyranny / rank authoritarianism is now a thing of the past.

My biggest fear is a triumphant Chiwenga backed by war veterans & the military or rampant runners running riot after he comes to power and ruling via decrees, entertaining little flexibility and brutally descending on dissent especially after struggling with the economy.

My understanding of him & his temperament is that he has got a short fuse, is uber masculine and shows little appetite to compromise.

He has also previously (fairly recently as well) using chilling imagery to describe the opposition when referring to CCC supporters and leaders as "lice that could be crushed."

The "regererai vakomana munokuvara" statement is also chilling in nature as well - and once again shows that his mindset is that of being fond of relying on brute force to achieve his ends, especially when dealing with political opponents.

It's all very well when this is directed against Zviganandas but, as we have seen with ED and even Bob before him, if there is a fallout, this can as easily be inflicted on loyalists who turn against him or any form of opposition.

Chiwenga, like his many of his peers, left the then Rhodesia as a young teenager to join the war of liberation.

He performed heroically in that war and experienced a meteoric rise to become a commander of Gaza Province as a young cadre in his 20s. That is clearly high admirable & a stunning achievement.

It is the experiences of that war which shapes his thinking - where he no doubt experienced the full horrors of war and became desensitised to violence & accustomed to cruelty as a tool of war, untrammelled power as a young commander, and the fragility of life on the battlefield through losing his cdes.

It is a valid question to pose how that will translate if he ascends to the most powerful office in the land.

So far, the only insight we have comes from his stints in office in the military and as a VP and Minister of Health - with his record not providing reassurance that he is capable of governing with compassion, compromise, humility and restraint!
