🔸This is a slap in the face to people who spent their whole lives working and making mandatory contributions to their pensions. $90 can’t even buy a tank of diesel or buy groceries. How do they expect pensioners to survive? The same people will demolish their homes. It’s a mess.

We have to stand up and fight against these inhuman issues against Zimbabweans. We can't remain silent when our own gvt is working against us @Zimra_11@MthuliNcube01@zinaraZW can you kindly listen to the cries of the citizens.
A Chinese national, Huanyi Chen, has been arrested for attempting to smuggle 180 tonnes of raw lithium ore from Zimbabwe to China without government approval.
Chen, who is a director of Zhe Li Mining, arranged for six trucks to transport the lithium from Mberengwa through Forbes Border Post in Mutare, on its way to China via Mozambique.
The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) intercepted two trucks carrying 60 tonnes of lithium on September 29 after receiving information about the suspected smuggling operation. The remaining 120 tonnes were later recovered from truck stops in Mutare and a garage in Rusape after the other trucks were ordered to stop and offload their cargo.
Chen appeared in court facing charges of attempted smuggling and was granted US$3,500 bail. He is expected to return to court on November 20.

Zimbabwe made $4.7 billion from mineral exports in just 9 months, double last year’s figure. Lithium alone brought in $2.16 billion.
But here’s the frustrating part: roads are still wrecking cars, electricity is unreliable, and ordinary citizens are yet to feel the benefits.
So where is all this money going? How does a country get richer from its minerals while its people remain poor? You and I know it's politicians who are robbing Zimbabwe.

🔸Let’s just be clear: mufi was a private citizen and not a national leader or figure. He did not occupy any public, state or official role whatsoever, not even that of a ward councillor. The line between national or state business and private business must always be clear.
It’s perfectly fine to mourn your beloved friend and show your sadness in a difficult moment for you and your loved ones. Most will respect your right to do so.
What you cannot do is rope the entire nation in as if we were part and parcel of the business he was engaged in. We were not. We cannot start to be now.

🔸Honourable Minister,
When is Govt going to deliver on its 2018 promise of free education? Can you see how figures such as those you’re throwing around are meaningless in light of your numerous broken promises? Why should we trust any targets or promises you make when you failed on this basic one?

Zimbabweans and Kenyans on X should follow each other. We remain united. We support each other. My favourite friends in Zimbabwe are @advocatemahere & @Hon_Kasukuwere .
Zimbabwean & Kenyans should inter-marry. Let's get pan African babies 👶 for the next generation. @GAngote
🔸People are spreading a false narrative that Wicknell was a bona fide businessman. He was not. He was a corrupt tenderpreneur and he believed that his conduct was normal.
Have you forgotten the time he went before a Parliamentary Committee and admitted that Intratek is a shelf company that takes advantage of the tender process to front international companies for profit?
This is why Wicknell’s Intratek doesn’t produce or sell anything. It has no visible employees. They never exhibit at trade shows and there’s no discernible footprint of his commercial activity. This is why he could not build the Gwanda solar farm that he was paid millions by Govt to deliver. They simply get tenders from Govt then pawn off those tenders to foreign companies that do the work. Wicknell then puts a multi-million dollar mark up, gets paid huge amounts from the public purse and that’s how he got “rich.”
These are the public funds that should be invested in basic public services like hospitals, schools and public infrastructure but are instead wasted on private jets, Rolls Royces and most recently “gifts” to silence influential artists, church leaders and other voices with a following.
So please don’t be surprised that the public are so opposed to what he represents.

ZANU-PF only ever uses Ubuntu as a weapon,
And never as a guiding principle in their misgovernance of this country.
When their members die,
They use ubuntu as a tool to guilt victims into silence.
Where is Ubuntu when you are looting state resources and abusing the masses?
Where was ubuntu when Wicknell bought designer shoes, cars and helicopters, Instead of delivering the solar farm he was paid for?

🔸What’s wrong with the alleged US$412 million cancer treatment equipment deal?
📍The alleged contract is with TTM Global Medical Exports (Pty) Ltd, a company where Wicknel Chivayo is the sole director according to a companies search.
📍The company is a “middleman”. There’s no reason why Govt should not transact with the supplier directly to avoid inflated costs.
📍The company is only 7 months old and has no discernible track record.
📍The company’s registered office is a DaVinci’s hotel suite in Sandton.
📍There was no transparent tender process for the equipment.
📍The value of the contract is an inflated US412 million which extremely high yet there’s no specification on what this covers. There were problems with inflated contracts in the past eg ballot printing deal with RenForm.
📍US$52,5 million is to be paid in advance of any delivery. This is likely the true value of the equipment before the inflated “commission payments.” There’s a risk that it will be paid but nothing will be delivered a la Gwanda Solar Project.
It’s a mess.

Last Sunday a @CityofBulawayo professional colleague of mine drove on a newly completed section of the Bulawayo to Victoria Falls road.
At approximately the 25km peg outside Bulawayo he was horrified to see workers patching a section of the new road which is already breaking up. The photograph taken by this person is attached.
I have received numerous reports that many of the contractors on this road are doing a shoddy job and this appears to be proof of this.
The construction of this road is rapidly becoming a national disaster. Next year we have the @ICC Cricket World Cup being played in both Bulawayo and Victoria Falls. If this road isn’t properly constructed and completed by then it will be grave national embarrassment.
I urge the Ministry of Transport @MinistryofTID to urgently investigate and deal with the situation.
31 July 2026 was a huge success in the hearts and minds of the majority of the people. Its purpose was to send the following message to the regime PEACEFULLY:NO TO THE 2030/CAB3/CAA3 agenda.
The reaction of the regime told it all: they got the message, they do not like the message, they are prepared to assault, torture, imprison and kill in a bid to suppress the message and they will abuse/misuse State resources to fund oppression.
We are not deterred. We remain determined. Now 31 July was an initiative of others which we supported. We are now organising our own peaceful actions to continue with the same message: NO TO THE 2030/CAB3/CAA3 agenda.
I have to remind all that we have two strategies: legal battles in the courts and peaceful political action. The courts will hear us soon. Peaceful political actions are continuing. CAA3 will be reversed. We will win.
