Troy Deeney hit the nail on the head with the way he broke down the Viktor Gyökeres situation at Arsenal and how Mikel Arteta see him in the team.
A lot happened over the summer and it's normal to have bad blood between the player and the manager but one thing Troy said that make sense is that the rest of the Arsenal players don't trust Gyökeres enough with the ball at his feet and we can see that in the games.
It's also clear that running behind is not the type of style Arsenal depends on but balancing that with dropping off to get involved in the game is what makes Havertz better for the Arsenal system.
The interesting thing is that Zambia, which takes its diesel through Zimbabwe, is selling a litre of diesel for K26.86 ($1.38). Same war 8000km away but different prices for countries sharing the same boarder.
Let's not just talk of the war in Iran when it comes to the price of fuel in Zimbabwe, let's also talk of the rent-seeking behaviour by the powers that be who are in the fuel industry.
You can't tell me why our diesel sells for $2.08 per litre while in Zambia, which takes its fuel through Zimbabwe, the same litre sells for $1:38. That can't be explained by the war in Iran.
Take away the thieves looting from the public through unrealistic taxes on fuel, you will beat or match Zambia's prices.
The difference between the price of diesel in Zambia and Zimbabwe is not the war in Iran, it is the extractive nature of the coup government in Zimbabwe.
Your so-called brother is the biggest fraud that has happened to Zimbabwe. He is the reason why diesel is now costing $2.08 per litre when it's $1.38 across the Zamezi river in Zambia.
He is the reason why university lecturers, who were earning $3500 per month in November 2017, are now earning $230 plus 9000 Zig, which is $180. So a whole PhD lecturing at a state university earning $410?

Right now university students are graduating without proper assessment. He is just interesting in capping students who didn't receive proper tuition.

Hi Crime Watch Zim, I would like to report an incident that I witnessed this afternoon at Harare Central Police Station.
I witnessed a young man being suspend€d by his handcuffs, which had been tied to the wall. I was deeply disturb€d by what I saw. Even if a person is suspected of having committed an offence, there must surely be lawful and humane ways of handling them. What kind of punishment or treatment is this?
No one should be subjected to degrading or inhuman€ treatment while in police custody. I am raising this matter because what I witnessed was deeply concerning, and I believe it deserves to be investigated.
If necessary, I am willing to provide further details about what I witnessed. Hide my identity please.
@PoliceZimbabwe
SHOULD ZIMBABWE CONSIDER EMULATING THE E.U’S SOCIAL MEDIA RESTRICTIONS?
1. Complete Ban for Under-13s
Children under 13 would be completely banned from using social media.
2. Supervised "Mini Accounts" for 13–15-Year-Olds
13 to 15-year-olds could only have "mini accounts" supervised by parents or guardians, with limited features and a daily usage cap of one hour.
3. "Safety by Design" Obligations for 15–18-Year-Olds
For users aged 15 to 18, platforms would be required to comply with "safety by design" obligations.
@daddyhope@JMafume Every African was sold a lie
The difference between the 2 eras is that one purposely deprived the population of a better living
But the other is unable to uplift its populace no matter what due to a lack of intelligence and experience
My brother Jacob @JMafume,
We grew up in the 1980s and 1990s, a generation sent to school by peasants who had endured nearly a century of colonial deprivation. The whole idea of independence was to emancipate the black Zimbabwean, who had been subjected to that cruelty for so long.
Today, my brother, I write to you in deep pain, because the women in that video represent the very mothers who sent our generation to university, selling tomatoes, onions and vegetables of every kind. They are in the streets today because they have no jobs, and the children they educated have no jobs either. The economy collapsed long ago.
I wonder whether you, as mayor of the capital city, might go and speak to the president about this. These people were put in the streets by the ruling party itself, before the election, and told they could sell their wares there. You know this, Mr Mayor. To treat our own people this way makes one question the whole essence of Ubuntu.
We complain when South Africans mistreat our people, kicking them out of the streets where they sell their goods, yet we come home and do the same to our own, and worse. At least the South Africans simply move people on. They do not destroy their goods the way we are doing here. It is evil, my brother.
I know the order comes from the central government, but I am pleading with you to show these women some empathy and compassion. Where else will they find money to put food on the table?
The bylaws being enforced were written by a colonial government that could actually provide jobs, one whose economy sustained those who could not find work by allowing them to trade at marketplaces.
Laws, and I say this because you are a lawyer, my brother, are rooted in common sense. They do not supersede it. A law makes sense only when it serves a purpose.
If a law forbids people from selling where their market has always existed, and you drive them away with no alternative, no industrial work for the men who once brought something home, then the wives are left with no choice but to take to the streets themselves. The men have nothing, and so the women step out like this.
I hope you will find it within yourself to reflect on this and speak to the president. We cannot treat our own people this way. We lose all humanity when we do, and when television cameras capture it for the world to see, other countries have no obligation to treat us any better.
Why should a South African treat me with more dignity than my own people show me at home?
I do not want to say much more. I have been deeply, deeply pained watching this video.
Has Hopewell ever told you where he intends to take us after he has buried Chamisa?
That is the question Zimbabweans should start asking.
For years, the message has increasingly been the same:
Chamisa is incompetent.
Chamisa has no structures.
Chamisa created a personality cult.
Chamisa failed Sikhala.
Chamisa destroyed CCC.
Chamisa is the problem.
Okay, Hopewell.
Suppose tomorrow you finally succeed.
Suppose every Zimbabwean accepts your thesis. Chamisa is politically buried. His credibility is destroyed. The millions who rallied behind him lose confidence in him.
THEN WHAT?
Where are you taking those people?
Who is your viable alternative?
Who commands anything remotely resembling Chamisa’s national constituency?
Who has demonstrated an ability to mobilise millions against ZANU-PF?
Because this is where your crusade becomes increasingly suspicious to me.
You aren’t building an alternative. You aren’t showing Zimbabweans a better vehicle. You are relentlessly dismantling confidence in the one opposition politician who has repeatedly demonstrated mass electoral appeal.
And your latest response exposes another contradiction.
You demand that Chamisa “produce the evidence” — the constitution and organogram.
Yet in the same response, you introduce an explosive allegation about a supposedly private conversation in which Chamisa allegedly told you that Job Sikhala was working with Chiwenga, based on information supposedly supplied by some unnamed imprisoned MP.
Okay.
WHERE ARE YOUR RECEIPTS, HOPEWELL?
Who is this MP?
When exactly did this conversation happen?
What evidence corroborates your version?
You cannot appoint yourself Zimbabwe’s prosecutor of evidence while expecting us to accept your own explosive allegations merely because you said so.
And that brings me to what really troubles me.
What is Hopewell’s endgame?
Who does this relentless vitriol against Chamisa ultimately serve?
Look at the political wreckage around this campaign. Biti and Sikhala have been pulled away from Chamisa. Young politicians who once stood within the same broad democratic movement have turned viciously against him. Hopewell has repeatedly amplified the divisions, suspicions and grievances surrounding Chamisa.
Whether every one of those outcomes can be attributed directly to Hopewell is another question. But the pattern and political effect deserve scrutiny.
Because it increasingly seems to me as though Hopewell’s political mission has been to dismantle Chamisa as the focal point of Zimbabwe’s opposition — albeit, so far, dismally.
And that is why I have come to believe Hopewell is CIO and a plant.
But Zimbabweans should ask the question for themselves:
After years of attacking Chamisa, fracturing confidence, elevating internal disputes and helping turn opposition figures against one another—
WHAT IS HIS ENDGAME?
And perhaps more importantly:
WHO IS SERVED IF HOPEWELL FINALLY SUCCEEDS IN DESTROYING CHAMISA?
🔸Good day @nickmangwana,
What stops Zimbabwe from doing this? Why do we have to lease a used aircraft instead of investing in a fleet of new planes? Why are we satisfied with mediocrity? Please make it make sense?
We need new leaders.🇿🇼
Can anyone explain whether it is legal for Harare City Council to charge a towing fee and a
fee when I drove my car to their offices myself and paid the fine immediately after arriving there?
The issue started yesterday when I wanted to drop my wife off along Jason Moyo Avenue in the Harare CBD. There was a car coming out of a parking space, so I stopped and waited for it to pull out before I could park. As soon as I entered the now-empty parking space, Harare City Council officials approached my vehicle and accused me of being dangerously parked and operating as an InDrive driver, which was not true.
The officials then got into my car and instructed me to drive to their offices. At first, I thought it was a minor issue and expected to pay a small fine and continue with my day, especially since I was already late for work.
To my surprise, I was charged a storage fee of US$120 for a vehicle that had only been at their premises for about 10 minutes, as well as a towing fee of US$10, even though I drove the car there myself. In total, I paid US$172.
I am trying to understand whether these charges were legal and justified under the circumstances. Has anyone experienced something similar, or does anyone know what the law says about charging towing and storage fees when a vehicle was neither towed nor stored for any significant period?

WATCH | A young Zimbabwean man, Theophilus Kadangwe, has recorded an emotional video questioning wealthy and influential figures, including Wicknell Chivayo, over what he sees as their failure to assist people facing genuine hardship.
In the video, he asks why some individuals choose to publicly display their wealth and make high-profile donations while many struggling Zimbabweans continue to go without the help they desperately need.
