Zimbabweans are shocked to hear that South Africa’s biggest trading partner in Africa is not Zimbabwe but Mozambique. We have been fed too much propaganda about how big a partner we are to South Africa, yet we just import $2 billion worth from South Africa while South Africa and Mozambique have an $8 billion trade relationship.

In my documentary I talk about how Mozambique has overtaken Zimbabwe in terms of currency management and infrastructure because Zim leaders are busy fighting to stay in power and destroying our stability, instead of building the country while Mozambiques leadership focuses on improving Mozambican lives.

Hi my brother Godfrey,

Rutendo hasn't changed sides. I still believe in telling the good Zimbabwe story and promoting the nation BUT:

1. I don't believe in telling the good story for leaders that want to force a constitutional amendment that gives the President a term extension through parliamentary majority, without a referendum.

2. I don't want an underpaid, incompetent, and self-serving parliament like the one we have in Zimbabwe, picking our President based on who bribes the 200 MPs with more money, because then what happens in future when we as a nation don’t want a rich President (future President, not this one) who bribes parliament and only enriches himself and his allies, to continue governing?

3. I don’t want to give a term extension to a President who allows our state apparatus to be used to beat, imprison, and burn the property of those who disagree with him, risking the country being put under new sanctions or being invaded by the West.

4. For over seven years I told the good story about this administration, I fought sanctions, defended Zimbabweans working in South Africa from being deported so that they continue remitting foreign currency back home, and they [the administration] benefited immensely from my work because I believed in their vision and the nation. Despite all this good work, they did not appreciate me and instead they rewarded other people for the outcomes of my work.

So, am I bitter? No, I'm not because I followed a vision that I believed. However, I now disagree with the new vision of extending the term of the President without referendum, for the reasons I give above. As a result, I've stopped telling this new story because it’s not a good story, and I am openly giving reasons why I can’t support a term extension for this President, without referendum, as a warning of the dangers inherent in this new vision.

Some say that me no-longer telling their good story and being more critical is me selling out. No! It’s me choosing to stop telling the story of a vision/plan that I don’t believe in.

Let’s just remind each other that I was never paid to tell the good story in the first place, but I believed in their vision hence I supported it. However, now, I don’t believe in the new direction hence I have chosen to stop telling that story that I don’t believe in, and to give reasons why I don’t believe in it.

There are still men and women of conscience. Let’s hear from all the others who took the same oath as @SajeniMapuranga whose nuts are still intact.

[Retired Lt General Winston Sigauke Mapuranga @SajeniMapuranga]

I attended today's Politburo sitting as usual, as a man of conscience, not as a creature of convenience.Let me speak plainly, as soldiers do.
Constitutional Amendment Bill Number 3 this instrument dressed in the language of national necessity I rejected it. I sat in that chamber, I heard the arguments, and when the moment demanded that I stand on the side of the people and the Constitution, I did not flinch.
This Bill, in its present form and intent, is not a democratic exercise. It is a constitutional manipulation designed to serve the ambitions of a few at the expense of the many. I took an oath to defend this nation not a political faction, not a personal agenda, not a timeline invented to extend the tenure of any single man, however powerful.

What I find most troubling is not the Bill itself. It is the silence of those who know better and say nothing. That silence, comrades, is a form of betrayal. Now, to those who insist this amendment is the will of the people I issue a straightforward challenge: prove it. Go to the people. Call a referendum. Let the citizens of Zimbabwe the farmer in Uzumba, the vendor in Mbare, the teacher in Gwanda, the elder in Lupane let them speak. Not delegates. Not district coordinators with envelopes. The people.If Constitutional Amendment Bill Number 3 truly carries the democratic mandate its proponents claim, they should have no fear of a referendum. The only people who fear the people's voice are those who already know what the people will say.I am a retired soldier. I have no seat to protect, no ministry to lose, no patronage to guard. What I have is my name, my record, and my conscience. And on those foundations, I say this without hesitation No to Bill Number 3. Yes to a referendum. Let the people decide.
Zimbabwe belongs to Zimbabweans not to a committee, not to a faction, and not to a calendar.

I stood at Heroes Acre not as a stranger to that ground I have buried comrades before, as soldiers must. But today something troubled me deeply, and I would be a coward in uniform if I did not speak it plainly.
Death is making a habit of visiting the barracks. But it does not seem to find its way to the halls of power.
Three more of our own lowered into that sacred earth today. Good men. Decorated men. Men who gave their youth, their health, and their service to this republic men who died, we are told, of old age.The very men who marched behind those coffins today who draped the flags, who fired the salutes are older than the soldiers they buried. They were commissioned before those men joined the ranks. They drew their first salary from this country when those officers were still in secondary school.

So I ask, in all seriousness, as a man who has worn this nation's uniform for decades,.What kind of "old age" is this that kills the junior but spares the senior?What kind of natural order takes the lieutenant and leaves the general standing? What kind of mortality visits the barracks but loses its nerve at State House?
We bury our juniors. We return to offices. We reshuffle command structures. We rewrite constitutions. And now now we ask the nation to extend a term until 2030, in the name of continuity, in the name of legacy, in the name of unfinished business.
Unfinished business.

The business of the nation is never finished. That is the nature of governance. No man is irreplaceable. That is the lesson of every general who has ever been buried at Heroes' Acre they served, they sacrificed, and the republic endured beyond them.
Longevity in office is not the same as service to the nation. Refusing to leave is not the same as love of country.I served. I stepped aside. That is what soldiers do when their time comes because discipline applies to departure as much as it applies to duty.Let those who stand at Heroes' Acre take the lesson from the ground beneath their feet rather than the ambition within their chests.
Enough is enough.

Reports confirm the Melania Trump documentary had $40M acquisition costs and $35M global marketing spend, mainly in the US. UK sales are "soft": e.g., one ticket for a London premiere screening, per Vue Cinemas. Total UK tickets are low but more than one overall. Trump says it's selling out fast.

@politicsusa46 Truth be told.

[Howard P Manyonga @hpmanyonga]

I read your post twice. I hear the anger. I also hear fear. But this is not a plan to fix Zimbabwe. This is a plan to punish people inside ZANU PF who threaten your side. You talk about “payback”. You compare rivals to infectious disease and lepers. That language is not politics, it is dehumanisation. You claim there was a “failed uprising in late 2025”. Then you give no proof. No names. No dates. No court outcomes. No verified facts. You ask the public to accept a label, then you demand retribution on the back of it. You also say the party should focus on delivering its manifesto. But your post is not about jobs, clinics, schools, prices, water, or dignity. It is about loyalty tests and purges. Zimbabwe’s crisis is not “factional elements”. It is corruption. It is tender cartels. It is impunity. It is elites eating while ordinary families stretch meals and hope. You use “renewal” as a slogan. But you defend the same system that blocks renewal. A system where proximity to power matters more than competence, and loyalty matters more than accountability. You warn that the corrupt will face consequences one day. On that, we agree. No clique rules forever. But here is the hard truth. When you write like this, you protect the corrupt by changing the subject. You turn national failure into a factional soap opera. You normalise revenge as governance. You are not exposing the problem. You are part of it.

Payback Time For All Factional Elements In ZANU PF

Against all convention and logic, there has been a subtle but insistent drive to peddle a narrative that the architects of the failed uprising against Gvt and President Mnangagwa in late 2025 are strategically silent and even planning an explosive comeback.

The underlying argument is that they did not fail in their bid and any celebration would be premature.

Advocates of this narrative subtly imply that the principal figures behind the unsuccessful insurrection remain in positions of influence, orchestrating an intricate scheme designed to ensnare their perceived adversaries; most notably, prominent business leaders unfairly branded with the derogatory label, Zvigananda.

The reality that a multitude of Geza-fronted protests, planned revolts, and elaborate dossiers failed to materialize the coup they so fervently desired seems completely lost on these individuals.

For them, this retreat into a muted collective, finding solitude in populist rhetoric, does not represent capitulation but rather a calculated long-term strategy aimed at fostering complacency, all the while preparing to unveil their next strategy.

One such misguided element even posted that all those who ‘fought’ VP Chiwenga will have a hard time in 2026!

It's the mother of all ironies because VP Chiwenga, in fomenting negativity against his principal, should be the one facing difficult questions!

Not those who stood in defence and support of party resolutions and positions.

Thus, it's a deduction that is not just comical for its apparent lack of wisdom but ultimately reinforces what I feel is a justified manoeuvre; payback against all the factional elements.

Former President Mugabe, once he heard about the existence of a factional grouping, termed Gamatox was swift to act and purged the whole lot of us.

Unfortunately in that instance it was a false allegation as rivals simply wanted to remove Mai Mujuru from the chess table towards power.

The same happened in the aftermath of the Tsolotsho Declaration at Dinyane Secondary School as the likes of Jacob Mudenda, Prof Jonathan Moyo, Daniel Shumba, Mike Madiro and others were suspended.

All those who were caught in it suffered what was due their actions.

Here the point is about the swiftness of action against clearly internal opposition to a legitimately elected Government.

Mugabe's tenure was characterized by a decisive elimination of perceived adversaries, a tactic that ensured that his successors understood the importance of loyalty, cognizant of the inevitable consequences of disloyalty.

This phenomenon is not confined to Zimbabwean politics; rather, it reflects a pervasive norm in political arenas across the globe.

Leaders universally seek allies who are in harmony with their vision, individuals whose ambitions do not threaten to undermine their governance.

However, within the ranks of President Mnangagwa’s party, an insidious campaign against him has emerged, warranting retribution for such betrayals.

Any ill-advised leniency toward these actions endangers not only the integrity of the party but also the dedicated loyalty of those who have remained steadfast in their support for the President and his administration.

It thus follows that there should be a review of the members in the Central Committee and the Politburo.

It's standard practice that when one is sick with an infectious disease, they are removed and quarantined at institutions such as Beatrice Road Infectious Diseases Hospital.

If they are allowed to loiter among the healthy they will contaminate others.

Like the Biblical lepers their position is outside the city gates where they should scrounge for redemption and hope for a Syrian miracle.

Intoxicated by a misguided sense of authority, they sought to wield their influence against the very leader who entrusted them with their positions.

It is only just that they face the consequences of their imprudence.

Renewing The Party

This moment also calls for a rejuvenation of the party through the elevation of younger, dynamic politicians into its upper ranks.

While the disintegration of the opposition has afforded ZANU PF increased latitude for experimentation, it is evident that revitalizing the party with youthful leadership will fortify its resilience against future challengers.

The distinguished figures who championed the liberation struggle have fulfilled their invaluable contributions.

It is now imperative for them to gracefully transfer the mantle of leadership to a burgeoning generation, one equipped with a diverse array of skills that align with the contemporary era in which we find ourselves.

Change is the only constant of life and the same applies to politics.

While people like Chris Mutsvangwa, as spokesperson have enmeshed themselves in petty fights, abusing their positions to fend off rivals, the major focus should be on delivering the promises in the party Manifesto.

The party gave promises and it should be focusing on delivering those to the people.

The avenue towards that includes incorporating the right individuals and not gatekeeping positions way past the sell-by date.

Time has shifted, and many revolutionary parties are losing grip on power partly due to failing to deliver on their promises which is itself a result borne from having the wrong individuals.

SWAPO disappointed in the last parliamentary elections, barely holding on to its majority by winning 51 of the available 96 seats.

After 58 years in power the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), a former liberation movement is now the opposition.

In South Africa, the ANC has lost its parliamentary majority and has had to make a coalition with the opposition.

The scenarios in all these revolutionary parties are symptomatic of deeper systemic challenges that ZANU PF must also confront.

By embracing renewal and infusing fresh perspectives into its ranks, the party can invigorate its strategies and chart a more progressive course suitable for the contemporary landscape.

However, with factional elements retained to foment chaos on another day, they can only be more chaos and a withered future!
