@RexMidzi Ironically, you used a photo that depicts Zanu PF brutality. The opposition cannot even be allowed to meet and recruit future leaders. Yes, Mugabe was brutal, but at least he allowed the opposition to meet, hold rallies and even demonstrate.

[Jones C Smith @ChrisJoneSmith2]

@bla_bidza I thought the “internal cat-fights” in Zanu PF brought about the 2017 coup. What could be worse than that? The stain of a coup will remain with Zanu PF for years to come. That is hardly what you would call “evolving.”

[Jones C Smith @ChrisJoneSmith2]

@nelsonchamisa Hate him or love him, Chamisa is currently the only option capable of giving Zanu PF a serious fight. You can see it from the brickbats he is receiving from both foes and friends alike. He remains the biggest political threat to Zanu PF.

@snowballOfficia Do you think when or if they want to beat her they will invite you to witness it? You're saying "allow the law to take its course" yet you have already concluded that the allegations are "false and unverified." At times propaganda needs to make sense.

[Jones C Smith @ChrisJoneSmith2]

@NcubeMxolisi @nelsonchamisa Why not hold ZANU-PF to account with the same vehemence? At times the criticisms of Chamisa now borders on obsession.

[Jones C Smith @ChrisJoneSmith2]

@ali_naka And you think that Pro Zimbabwe Government media reads those criticisms? Have they ever responded to those criticisms? They just don't care (imagine if Saviour became president). Long sleeve or short sleeve?

[Jones C Smith @ChrisJoneSmith2]

@RexMidzi People should not be killed because of politics, whether a whole former minister or not. But Zanu PF congratulated FRELIMO and Chama Cha Mapinduzi for winning elections even after 1,000s (not former ministers, though) were killed.

[Jones C Smith @ChrisJoneSmith2]

@daddyhope So the constitution is there but it's not a "genuine party constitution?"

[Jones C Smith @ChrisJoneSmith2]

@BlessingNyatan1 @ali_naka That's an assumption, we wouldn't know for sure. But what we know today is that Hopewell is in exile running away from ED.

[Jones C Smith @ChrisJoneSmith2]

@Stella_grooves @nelsonchamisa MDC, MDC-T and MDC Alliance had constitutions but did it stop Zanu PF from destroying them? Zimbabwe is under an authoritarian regime yet pple are blaming the victim's.

[Jones C Smith @ChrisJoneSmith2]

@daddyhope @nelsonchamisa Is it possible for a political party to contest elections in Zimbabwe under ZEC without a constitution?

[Jones C Smith @ChrisJoneSmith2]

@BlessingNyatan1 @tabanimcgucci Facts and opinions are different; Hopewell is stating his opinions not facts

[Jones C Smith @ChrisJoneSmith2]

@tabanimcgucci Worse still, he seems to think he knows virtually everything—medicine, economics, American politics, South African politics, Zambian politics, and Kenyan politics. That's not journalism; it's narcissism.

[Jones C Smith @ChrisJoneSmith2]

@katunizi @tabanimcgucci Not only in Africa but the whole of planet Earth

[Jones C Smith @ChrisJoneSmith2]

@jahman_adamski Well said. The fact that he seems to think he's the only journalist on earth is quite shocking.

[Jones C Smith @ChrisJoneSmith2]

@nelsonchamisa @daddyhope I think Hopewell is mistaking his opinions for journalism. Journalism should be balanced, fair, and give all sides a right of reply. This comes across as an obsession, not journalism.

[Jones C Smith @ChrisJoneSmith2]

@nickmangwana Do you really think that a year or so from now you'll still be relevant in Zimbabwe's political landscape? Yes, you contributed immensely before 2017, but what role will you play between now and 2030 considering that at times you misfire here on X (ie Kariba)

[Jones C Smith @ChrisJoneSmith2]

@zimlive And they never fully implemented the 2013 Constitution, particularly the provisions establishing Provincial Councils.

[Jones C Smith @ChrisJoneSmith2]

@nickmangwana You say George Chararamba instead of George Charamba
