Good morning Sir. I understand that emotions and opinions may differ, but I believe it is important that we handle family matters with dignity and maturity. Many men today are silently going through difficult personal struggles, with some unfortunately even losing hope in life.
“Chakafukidza dzimba matenga” every home has its own challenges. As men, let us choose restraint, wisdom and respect, because society often judges us more by how we respond in difficult moments than by the situation itself.
As a father, I believe one of the greatest responsibilities of a man is to honour and appreciate the woman who carries and nurtures the children that become part of his family. In doing so, respect for her family becomes a true reflection of one’s character, maturity and values.
As Minister of Youth, I wish to encourage our young citizens to embrace a culture of respect, dignity and restraint, particularly in moments of disagreement or personal conflict. True leadership is not demonstrated through intimidation, abuse of authority or the misuse of influence against others, especially women and the elderly.
No grievance, misunderstanding or separation should ever justify the use of power, money or office to suppress, intimidate or humiliate another family. Our children learn more from our conduct than from our words, and I want mine to inherit a legacy founded on respect, integrity, peace and humanity.
Peace begins with me. Peace begins with you. Peace begins with all of us.
NEW EPISODE #OneManOneVote
Here's a deep dive into how #CAB3 takes away YOUR right to vote for the President and gives it to a totally undemocratic Parliament. Find out why a kleptocrat only needs to buy off 186 MPs to become President and how ZANU PF (or rather a Zvigananda faction of ZANU PF) would retain power with just 30% of the vote. There is still time to make your submission to Parliament by emailing [email protected] by 18 May. #NoToCAB3 #ZimSaysNo
Unfortunately folks will rewrite history and fail to be accountable for the issues we are witnessing today. Over the years, people rose through the ranks of MDC through stepping on others and smearing genuine cadres until the bulk of them chose to walk away and live their lives away from the toxicity of the "struggle". By the time we got to the GNU a lot of genuine cadres who had given their all were cleared.
Most of them became academics or left for the Diaspora. The gaps they left were filled by untested people - some good, some horrible. By the time we got to 2018, most of the cdes I had worked with since 2001 were on the sidelines which meant the base of MDC-18 was relatively a coalition of the old-of-2008 and the post-2013 crop with different views on how the struggle is executed.
The Khupe incident remains a very bad chapter in MDC's history. It set a very bad base for the MDC-2018. But again, it was an opportunity not only for NC but for a lot of pple to rise on the back of stepping on other people or outmanouvering others.
Again, when Mwonzora left (Which I still think was avoidable if egos were not the primary factor) it was an opportunity for people to rise. All this meant, the opportunities fell on untested people most of whom were mere opportunists with little commitment to the real struggle for change.
By 2022, the mantra was - The NEW! CCC was born. The pre-2018 MDC remnants existed mostly at the benevolence of NC. There was a new crop. A crop that generally had no understanding of the historical non-commercial execution of the struggle. The struggle shifted from being radically ideological to purely theological. The struggle lost its bearings!
By the time Tshabangu erupted, there was really nothing to defend in CCC. There were no stockholders. CCC had sympathisers not members. Most of those who viewed themselves as stakeholders were folks born and bred in environments that believe God will intervene, all they needed to do is kneel/pamabvi/emadolweni.
The crew that were deployed in councils and parliament via berekamwana, most of them had zero history in the previous struggles that actually had a resistance factor in them. It was an opportunity for survival. They had no issue licking the side where their bread is buttered.
So, what have we learnt?
- History is more important than today
- Until the stomach is challenged, the heart remains a mystery
- There is a reason the body does not kill normal bacteria (flora) in the gut or vagina
- Prayer must not get in the way of swords, they can co-exist but each knowing their purpose.

I’m a wife, mother, daughter, sister, professor, business owner & I own some shares in different companies. I work, go home, cook, take care of our kids, I meet Hubstar’s sexual needs & help pay our kids’ car insurance & health insurance. Married 20 years PLUS!
And to all those who say that I am not Zimbabwean because of the colour of my skin, may you find healing for the hate in your hearts. I don't hate you back.
And I challenge you to a dance off!!!🕺😂 Name the time and place. @AlickMacheso please provide the music.🎶🇿🇼🖤🤎💛💚
It makes sense now,when it was spoken,we cheered for it,I personally cheered for it,but with the way chabangu wasn't resisted and where we are heading with the 2030 nonsense...you can actually connect the dots perfectly
There is a falsehood being spread by the Chapwati Cult that MPs went to the swearing-in in Parliament against the advice of the leader. This is not correct. In fact, a meeting was called the same day, ostensibly to select our own candidates to field for Speaker and Deputy Speaker. However, the meeting was deliberately dragged past the start of the election. We were only released from the advocates' chambers five minutes before the start of the Speaker's election, and we had to travel to the new Parliament in Mt. Hampden. We obviously arrived after the Speaker had been voted in. Chinhu chakange Chatonwirwa kare ichi."
GATEKEEPING: The way CDF is structured represents our aspirations of devolution and decentralization. In the Diaspora, each country has it's own Federation which is by and large autonomous. We are going to use our strength in technology to facilitate smooth organizing that is transparent and accountable.
Leaders will emerge from the work at hand. Every member will be provided with a copy of CDF's constitution upon joining. They will also have a downloadable membership card with an immutable Defender ID.
We need people's talents from communication, content-creation, engagement, canvassing, tech. There is a lot of work to be done. As these Federations take shape, the opportunities to be the difference increase.
At this point we just need more DOERS and less TALKERS.
Give us 48hrs and the portal will be up and running.
We may have our differences with @DMwonzora but when it comes to constitutional matters and the wars to come, we will support him.
We are not looking at petty differences but those ready to stand up and be counted.

I'm buying a church.
I’ve made a cash offer of £225,000 to purchase this church, which was about to close and be sold off to developers.
I'm fed up with driving past all these churches in the UK that used to thrive, support the community, and feed the homeless.
Now, just look at these beautiful church buildings.
So many are boarded up, closed down, with developers queueing up to profit from converting them into flats.
I simply can't accept that a building built to glorify Jesus for generations can be turned into something solely for profit.
So I've placed an offer on a church in my hometown.
My plan is to buy it and offer it completely free of charge, with zero rent, to a church willing to worship Jesus here and serve others.
What do you think of this idea?
The brutal assault on @ProfMadhuku and some members of his NCA is shameful and deplorable; whatever hand is behind the shocking criminality should be exposed without delay and held accountable to the full extent of the law! @PoliceZimbabwe
"If you go to Kenya, South Africa Zambia etc you find former presidents there" - Prof Madhuku bashes Mnangagwa and ZANU PF over 2030 proposal.
So if the next president has plans that need 4 more years to execute the term changes to 9 years after a 5year term?
Madhuku says "no good president wants to die in power." It is when your CV top list is filled with corruption, nepotism, bad governance, human rights abuses and underdevelopment one wants to stay beyond constitutional limits.
