🚨 Alex Pereira just called out Ciryl Gane for several illegal shots to the back of the head during their fight 😳
“It was a lucky jab and he took advantage… that was the opportunity of a lifetime for him. This guy has a long history of it. Dirty shots, punches to the back of the head.
I brought that up with [the referee] ahead of time and asked him to keep an eye on it… if you watch the footage man, multiple shots, multiple elbows [to the back of the head].
[The referee] is not a man. He shouldn’t have been refereeing that fight. A guy like that should be punished.”

I received a call from MadziBaba VeShanduko. He is facing serious financial difficulties and is struggling to pay his children’s school fees and provide for their basic upkeep.
His home was burnt down, and he spent eight months in prison for a political crime he did not commit before later being acquitted by the courts.
We have set up a GoFundMe campaign to help him rebuild his life and support his family during this difficult period.
Please donate whatever you can and help spread the word.

🤣🤣🤣 | Seventeen Varakashi who support the President 24/7 received US$10,000 each, while Rutendo Matinyarare received US$200,000 and a Toyota Land Cruiser after previously criticising the President. So far, three Varakashi have rejected Paul Tungwarara’s US$10,000 offer, saying it is unfair that someone who criticised the President received a much bigger reward than those who have consistently defended him.

November 2017 was a mess!
The architects of the so called restore legacy cannot even undo the damage let alone openly criticise the system. We are in a far worse off situation than pre November 2017. Those that led can only speak in parables at funerals or church functions.
We celebrated while our mothers were being raped out in the open. Caught in the euphoria many mistakenly thought a killer is a reform. The then opposition is also guilty in creating the mess.
We need to now forge a very unusual alliance of war vets, opposition, former generals, people (povo) and claim back Zimbabwe.
Despite these looters having each other contact numbers or let alone DMs they tweet the transactions.
It is $200k today and $10k tomorrow.
The Constitution guarantees or compels us to peaceful protest, it is a right that we have to exercise.
Seni hangu ndanga ndagara ndisina rutendo (no pun intended) rwekuti his fight against CAB3 was about principle. I knew it was all about the proverbial 30 pieces of silver.
I am not perfect, but I am genuine chief. You hated me for telling my story abt unjust arrest, you raised hell just for kicks, you do this for money, you are a hired assassin nothing about country. You were ranting so you get paid. Congratulations you got paid
@freemanchari@SaChirinda_ If that's the case, then isu ana Gono will deserve a share of royalties. Permission granted, you can use us as the symbol of national dress!
@Thabo_Tshisi@daddyhope Some people talk as if Zimbabwe is now an empty country. It isn't. Millions remain, struggling, working and resisting every day. The reality is that ordinary people are fighting a system far more powerful and entrenched than outsiders often understand.
Zimbabwe is a very difficult place to live if you are just an ordinary citizen trying to get on with your life.
Yesterday, a young man got in touch with me seeking financial assistance to travel to Zimbabwe because he had lost his father. I helped him, and his bus left Johannesburg at 5 p.m. It travelled all the way to Zimbabwe and got to the border in the morning, where it was cleared. It then continued its journey into Zimbabwe.
When the bus got to Bubi, ZIMRA officials, who are Zimbabwe’s customs officials, sent it all the way back to the border for another search.
As I write this, that bus is back at the border. This young man left Johannesburg yesterday at 5 p.m., and it is now past 6 p.m. the following day. He had already done more than half of his journey from Johannesburg, only to be forced back.
I honestly do not understand why our government makes life so painful and difficult for ordinary people. It is cruel, painful, and heartbreaking.
This is one of the reasons many young Zimbabweans do not want to return home when they complete their studies. If you are not part of the political elite circle, life can be incredibly difficult. Even those who are trying to live by the book and simply live normal lives are subjected to unnecessary hardship.
It is heartbreaking. It is sad. The once respected Zimbabwe has become a mafia state.
I wanted to retweet your tweet but i then remembered how buying land which is not meant for business is a waste of money. There is a generation yakafa ine dzimba but ichitambura, too bad i already made that stupid decision of buying land before i exhausted investments but i will let my money work for me first before i develop that thing.
Buying a stand in your 20s is peak SAFETY - it screams no balls to take risks. Lets do better than our fathers gents, no risk no story. Kana mazoda imba imba inotengwa ne mortgage not cash. this is financial literacy, you lose out on your money`s future returns which is the real value of money - time value of money when you spend it on things that have no future turnovers.
GET YOUR HEADS EXAMINED…Some people really amaze me.
Do you honestly believe that if the Chamisa you constantly gaslight and vilify had agreed to be co-opted by ED, there would have been any need to hire that Chabangu as the manufactured face of a government-sponsored opposition?
Do you think they would have needed CAB3 to deal with the fallout from a disputed presidential election? Would CAB3 have been necessary?
Do you think they would have spent billions in taxpayers' money buying off individuals, organizations, and institutions, including some within the region, to discredit and destroy the very person they were supposedly working with? Why spend billions of taxpayers' dollars buying influence, recruiting allies, mobilizing institutions and giving cars, to destroy the credibility of someone who was supposedly on your side?
Why would an ally cause you sleepless nights.
Give us a break! Kwanai! Miswai! The logic simply does not add up. If someone is part of your project, you do not expend enormous resources undermining, isolating, and dismantling them. You do not wage a sustained campaign against an ally. The very existence of these efforts points to entrenched animosity.
We’re chalk and cheese, oil and water. We can’t mix! And I’m proud of that record! #TheNew

MMC Moshe Koma has strongly condemned the tragic mass shooting incident on Cleveland Road, Johannesburg.
Preliminary reports confirm that 12 people have been killed in what is believed to be linked to ongoing criminal activity. Police and forensic teams remain on scene conducting investigations.
The City of Johannesburg has reaffirmed its commitment to intensified law enforcement operations and restoring safety in affected communities.
What occasions a Transitional Government that some are calling for ? I have always found the call for a transitional government highly theoretical and unrealistic because in all honesty I can’t see anyone stepping aside for such and giving away the bird in hand to the unknown .
A more practical consideration would probably be a GNU , a mirror of 2009 -2013 , even that would be preceded by a new political settlement brought about by national dialogue.
A transitional administration only kicks in when there has been a logjam or revolution in the body politic . Under the status quo it’s just wishful thinking and childish .
What incentive does the government have to share power ? A transitional government assumes many things that are not at play at the moment . Its major assumption is that there is no one with a mandate to rule anymore , is that case with Zimbabwe? If it is , who was elected by the world to be a Member of the United Nations Security Council ( UNSC) ?
The reality on the ground is the star of the government is rising while that of the alternative is disappearing? Our politics need a realistic and honest rethink .
Happy Sabbath
