Are Zimbabweans cowards? I don't agree with the narrative that we are cowards. I know many truths can coexist. But we are purely selfish people. It is not because of cowardice that we are not participating in processes that ensure democratic accountability. We either hope for a seat on the table so we eat too or we hope to find a spot under the table to get the breadcrumbs. We just cannot fight for the good of the country when we constantly put self above everything and everyone. This is what ED and Zanu has capitalised on, more than our fear of being killed.

How do you explain "men of God" receiving cars and cash from corrupt pple, knowing that Zimbabweans are suffering because of those same people? How do you explain parliamentarians and senators accepting money to violate the Constitution and give ED more power when they see the state of our country? How do you explain young people starting these 4ED groups when our country is in hell? The excuse can't be pple are hungry. We are all hungry phela.

THE ZIMBABWEAN PARADOX: THREE SYSTEMS, ONE BODY, NO SOUL

Zimbabwe is a nation wearing three masks simultaneously. Beneath the surface, it operates as a benevolent dictatorship — centralized power, decisive action, ancestral hierarchy in presidential robes. To the world, it registers as a democratic republic — elections, parliament, constitutional robes. But in its bones, in its soil, in the memory of its people, it is a monarchy — the DNA of Munhumutapa, the totemic order, the sacred kingship that built Great Zimbabwe.

This is not hypocrisy. This is schizophrenia.

We are a neo-colonial chameleon democracy — a creature that changes its political colour depending on which audience is watching. The dictator speaks to the village. The democrat speaks to the UN. The monarch speaks to the ancestors. And the people? The people receive three different messages and are expected to applaud all three.

The crisis is this: sovereignty is on the leash of Roman-Dutch Law. A colonial legal architecture that was never designed for African governance now holds the leash of a nation that instinctively understands sacred kingship. You cannot count apples, bananas and lemons as one fruit — but the blending of these three gives you the taste of Vision 2030 rhetoric. Sweet on the tongue, empty in the stomach.

The law makers operate in one system. The intellectual communities theorize in another. The society lives in a third. No one can predict from which platform and which software the next decision will emerge. Is it the presidential decree? The parliamentary vote? The ancestral whisper? The international donor conditionality?

Political education is the key. Not the indoctrination of party slogans — but the honest education of a people about their own political anatomy. We must build a system that is:

- True to our heritage — the totemic wisdom, the council of elders, the sacred balance between power and service
- Relevant to our function — governance that delivers water, roads, dignity, not just rhetoric
- Aware of international expectation — not enslaved to it, but intelligently engaged with it

Zimbabwe, water your roots and you will harvest your fruits. The roots are not in Westminster. The roots are not in The Hague. The roots are in the stone walls of Dzimbabgwe, in the council fires of the ancestors, in the understanding that leadership is service, not spectacle.

A tree that denies its roots will bear bitter fruit. A nation that denies its DNA will produce a constitution that its own people do not recognize.

The chameleon must become a lion. Not to roar at the world, but to stand in its own colour.

Respectfully, there was no justifiable reason to amend our Constitution for an 83 year old man. No reason at all. I am not an ageist at all but violating the Zimbabwean Constitution because the continuity of the country's policies depend on a 83 year old man to remain in power is crazy. No wonder South Africans insult us for calling ourselves educated. Ngoba how do we have educated pple who think this is okay.

ED’s signing into law of CAB 3 was always going happen. It must be said again and again that that signature is NOTHING and that the people of Zimbabwe will never allow CAB 3 to have effect. It is now war in TWO battlegrounds: courts and peaceful political resistance.We will win.

[Tawonga Kurewa @mafira_kurewa]

They signed it.

Amendment Bill No. 3 is law now, and the thing we said would happen has happened, in the quiet, procedural way these things always happen. No drama. A signature. The machinery moved exactly as it was built to move.

Understand what was actually done here. This was a conversion of a term limit from a constitutional guarantee into a negotiable inconvenience. Section 328 was meant to be the lock on the door. They have shown us the lock was only ever as strong as the willingness of the people holding the keys to respect it.

There will be those who tell you this is legal. They will be technically correct and entirely beside the point. Legality is not the same as legitimacy. A process can follow every step and still hollow out the thing it claims to protect. The Constitution was amended by the exact people the Constitution was written to restrain. That is not the rule of law. That is the rule of whoever holds the pen.

I want to be careful about despair, because despair is the goal. A population that believes nothing can change is a population that has agreed to be governed without consent. So let me say the useful thing instead of the bitter one.

Constitutions are not defended in the moment they are broken. They are defended in the long years afterward, by people who refuse to accept that the breaking was normal. The record matters. Who voted. Who signed. Who stayed silent. Who said, plainly and for the record, that this was wrong. History is not written by the people who hold the pen today. It is written by the people who kept count.

Keep count.

🇿🇼 THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN...

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in our discussion on Zimbabwe's best and worst-run cities and towns.

The comments poured in, with people sharing their own experiences from every corner of the country.
While this wasn't a scientific survey, some clear patterns emerged.

Harare @cityofharare2 under my good friend Mayor @JMafume attracted by far the most criticism, with many describing it as the country's poorest performer in terms of service delivery. The recurring complaints were raw sewage flowing through residential streets, uncollected refuse, burst sewer pipes, potholes, erratic water supplies and what many felt was a lack of urgency in addressing these problems.

Chitungwiza @chitungwizamun also featured prominently, with residents speaking of overflowing sewers, refuse piling up and deteriorating infrastructure.

Kadoma, Chegutu @chegutumun and Gweru @MartinChivhoko were frequently mentioned for dust, poor road maintenance, litter ,noise and generally untidy environments. Chinhoyi @ChinhoyiOf also came under heavy criticism, with many saying basic municipal service delivery had virtually ground to a halt. In fact services are nonexistent

On the positive side, @CityofBulawayo received overwhelming praise. Despite battling chronic water shortages beyond the city's control, many commended the administration under Mayor @DavidColtart for maintaining a clean, organised city and making the best of limited resources.

Mutare @CityofMutare earned widespread admiration for its cleanliness and beautiful surroundings, while Masvingo @MasvingoCity was also consistently praised as one of Zimbabwe's better-managed cities.

There were also honourable mentions for Triangle, Victoria Falls @vicfallsmayor and @KwekweCouncil Kwekwe, all of which were described by many respondents as clean, orderly and pleasant places to live and visit.

To the mayors and town clerks whose councils received praise, congratulations. To those whose cities were heavily criticised, perhaps these comments provide an opportunity to reflect on what residents are experiencing every day.

Every Zimbabwean deserves clean streets, reliable water, efficient refuse collection and a city they can be proud to call home.

I remember reporting almost two weeks ago about Zimbabweans camped outside the Zimbabwean Consulate in Cape Town. What I do not understand is this: these people have made it clear that they want to return home. We all know they did not plan for these circumstances. They have been stripped of their livelihoods and, in many cases, no longer have the financial means to get back to Zimbabwe.

What stops the President from instructing the Minister of Finance and the relevant ministries to organise buses to transport our people from Cape Town back home?
What stops the government from allowing them to cross the border with their personal goods and belongings without charging customs duty, given that this is clearly a humanitarian crisis?

This is not a complicated policy issue. It is a basic act of leadership and compassion.

What I struggle to understand about the Zimbabwean government is that you see men in expensive suits and women in elegant dresses, yet they fail to think in such simple, practical terms.
At times like these, a government should be seen doing what governments are meant to do, protecting and assisting its citizens.

South African media have reported on the plight of these Zimbabweans almost every day. The situation is neither hidden nor unknown. Yet there has been no meaningful humanitarian response from Harare.

The government and its supporters will no doubt come up with all sorts of excuses. But this really is straightforward. Send buses. Bring your people home. Waive customs duties on their personal belongings. They have been forced into this situation by the climate of xenophobia and Afrophobia they have experienced in South Africa.

A government’s responsibility is not to make excuses. It is to act.

Stop sending long paragraphs & messages explaining how you feel, just don't say anything. I've learned that it doesn't matter what you say, if they don't care they just don't. And nothing you say will change that. Stop wasting your time & energy.

Well, that wasn't quite the farewell some people were expecting! 😅

Thank you to everyone who reached out, commented, called and messaged. Your support did not go unnoticed.

Over the weekend, your voices echoed far beyond the comments section. You made your feelings known, and they were heard.

I'm delighted to let you know that The Pyjama Party will be back on the airwaves.

@Jamwanda2 Third time actually to get a non permanent seat. 1983 to 84 our thrust and push was against apartheid in the neighbourhood fighting for South West Africa and Apartheid SA. 91-92 was thawing of Cold War and Middle East peace (first gulf war). Our foreign policy used to be sound!

Today, we go to Parliament to debate CAB3.

Some will debate with money in their socks. Others will rise with the people in their hearts and the future in their hands.

As for me, I know where I stand.
I stand with the citizens.
I stand with democracy.
I stand against 2030.
I am ready to speak. I am ready to fight. I am ready to represent you well.

#NoTo2030.

YOUNG ZIMBABWEAN FORCES CAB3 REFERENDUM DEBATE BACK TO THE PEOPLE : AS ZIYAMBI ZIYAMBI'S TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY CANNOT REPLACE THE PEOPLE

BY RTD DIO SHEPHERD MPESWE

Zimbabweans, something important has happened. A young man, Youngerson Matete, has taken the CAB3 fight to the High Court and his application may have just changed the entire direction of this debate.

At a time when the government seemed determined to push the Bill through Parliament and send it straight to the President, Matete is asking a simple but powerful question, if the changes affect protected parts of the Constitution, why should the people not be asked first in a referendum ?

That question matters because many Zimbabweans voted in 2023 with the understanding that the leaders they chose would serve until 2028. For ordinary citizens, that vote was not a blank cheque. It was a decision based on known rules, known timelines and a clear constitutional order. If those same leaders now want to change the rules in a way that affects the length of office, the election cycle or the future of Parliament without going back to the people, then the public has every right to ask whether its vote is being respected or abused.

This is why Matete’s application is so significant. It does not just challenge CAB3 as a political matter. It challenges the process itself. It forces the courts to answer whether Parliament alone can alter parts of the Constitution that may require direct public approval. In plain language, it asks whether elected leaders can rewrite the terms of their own mandate without first asking the people who gave them that mandate.

The timing is also striking. The government has clearly wanted to move this Bill forward as quickly as possible but now there is legal pressure from more than one direction. That means the battle over CAB3 is no longer just about parliamentary numbers. It is now about constitutional discipline, public consent and whether the law still belongs to the people or to those in power.

For many Zimbabweans, this case speaks to a much deeper fear, that decisions with long-term consequences may be made behind closed doors, then presented to the public as a done deal. That is why the demand for a referendum is so important. It is not a technicality. It is the difference between rule by the people and rule over the people.

This matter also places the courts under the spotlight. Zimbabweans will be watching closely to see whether the judiciary protects transparency and constitutional order or whether it allows power to move ahead without proper public consultation. In moments like this, the courts are not just deciding a legal question. They are deciding whether the Constitution still has meaning in practice.

The truth is simple, when leaders want to change the rules that govern the people’s future, the people must be asked. Anything less would weaken trust, weaken Zimbabwe and weaken the very vote that brought those leaders into office.

CAB3 is no longer just a bill. It is now a test of whether Zimbabwe’s governance architecture still answers to the people.

One of the major reasons that President Mnangagwa does not acknowledge the work of those who do exceptional work for Zimbabwe and his administration, is because his family are competing for accolades with their citizens.

They are competing in mining, marketing Zimbabwe and business. As a result they feel like acknowledging the work of others, overshadows their own work. Yet one Zimbabwean’s achievement is a contribution for all.

Hitler said in Mein Kampf, individual pursuit and the pull him down mentality is why Africans have failed to evolve in tandem with other races. This mentality is also why the Great Zimbabwe Empire fell.
