@Nyasha84273522 @daddyhope Who shld be pushed 4 corrupt ZIMRA? And how? This is being cruel to the pple in the bus as a collection and unnecessary. It can be done in a better and more humane way. They can do the checks just outside the boarder for example. They can come hard on the corrupt officials

Never be scared of dominant public opinion. We have been here many times before with; Abortion, Corporal Punishment, GBV, women’s equality, Homosexuality and tribalism.

But logic, justice & the power of truth always wins.

Xenophobia will not win! Love, Law & Order will!

[Zwelinzima Vavi @Zwelinzima1]

Twist our words. Misrepresent our position. Call us whatever names you want. Accuse us of things we have never said. It changes nothing.

We will never under any circumstances stand with a xenophobic agenda that turns the poor against the poor while the real architects of poverty, unemployment, inequality and criminality walk free.

We know what it means when mobs take the law into their own hands. We have seen it before - the humiliation, the terror, the burning of homes, the destruction of lives in broad daylight while the rule of law collapses. That is not justice. That is a descent into barbarism.

We refuse to celebrate that. We refuse to be silent about it. We refuse to normalise it.

Our country was not built on hatred. It was built on struggle, on solidarity, on the belief that an injury to one is an injury to all. When we allow violence against the most vulnerable, we are tearing apart the very fabric of our democracy.

We will not be part of turning South Africa into a skunk of the world again, a place feared by the world and unsafe for its own people. We will stand, firmly and unapologetically, for humanity, for justice, and for the rule of law, no matter how loudly we are insulted for it. These videos do not represent us - we are ashamed!

@IvanChigwada @BhudhiGhivhi Is the bbtidge -harare road done?

Zimbabwe is another country altogether when it comes to doing business.

First, registering a company isn’t straightforward. You often have to pay agents up to $150 just to navigate the bureaucracy. But once you finally register, you then need a ZIMRA bank clearance letter to open a business bank account. That process is notorious for corruption — many people end up bribing ZIMRA officials just to get permission to pay taxes. Think about how absurd that is: you are literally bribing someone so you can be allowed to pay tax!

As if that isn’t enough, once you have your tax clearance, some banks will still block you. They “vet” you and refuse to open your account if they don’t understand where your startup funds come from. To them, it seems impossible for anyone to start a business with zero capital, to sell goods on commission, or to offer consulting services.

And even if you get through all that, bank charges are outrageous — up to 3.5% per transfer or cash withdrawal, eating away at any profit before you even grow.

Then there’s the problem of premises. Landlords want a three-month bank statement and surety. Think about that: they basically want to run a business with no risk, while you shoulder all of it.

These are exactly the reasons why so many Zimbabweans choose to operate informally. In fact, it is easier for a Zimbabwean without papers to open a business and a bank account in South Africa than in their own country. That is a devastating indictment of our system.

@IsraelNcube16 @daddyhope Pple do vote for Zanu pf out there. whole country is so bad(roads, hospitals,employment,tsikidzi,etc)it's the new normal to pple living under these conditions they don't see nothing wrong with Zanu ruling over the shit pool.

[John Chikanda @john_chikanda]

@thewatchma @daddyhope Vanhu veMberengwa tisu honzeri. Just check how Zanu of wins every election there. Massive wins. When there is no road linking anyone to any town. Even the dust roads are not maintained. No infrastructure and worse it's under region 4

[John Chikanda @john_chikanda]

@VincentMoyo8 @daddyhope Mberengwa votes Zanu pf in every election.

[John Chikanda @john_chikanda]

@IsraelNcube16 @daddyhope Can you understand how Mbare voted Zanu pf? Or any place in Zimbabwe coz the damage is the same all over.

[John Chikanda @john_chikanda]

@GutuObert Ndiko kutengeswa kwenyiks aGutu. Pamuchazopepuks from your surprise,90% Zim wealth be in foreign hands via greasing hands of politicians. Of course citizens leave coz they don't have the money to compete with the foreigners.

[John Chikanda @john_chikanda]

@HonMachakaire Muri kutsvaga malike hanti. Health care in Zim has been shit for decades and mukuuya nhasi muchita kunge mavhurirwa chiporofita. Maybe you shld shut up and remain actionless like always than this pretence

[John Chikanda @john_chikanda]

@Noxy_D @mamakaCleo Look at you stating shit as fact. Count how many Zanu pf MPs are from Matebelaland then come back here with probabilities.

[Michelle Mpofu @Mimie03390152]

62 days of injustice. 62 days of silence they tried to enforce. We won’t back down. Free Blessed Mhlanga now! #FreeBlessedMhlanga”

@Nyadzo @BhudhiGhivhi We forget easily as a nation. We let MT down big time as Zimbabweans. The man tried his best.

@tazvitya72 @TafadzwaMandov2 You do realise vaRemba are just the Zhou/Nzou clan hanti?

[John Chikanda @john_chikanda]

@Stepper7777 @sheug @KMutisi It can be done. But not in Zim coz you can't trust the road. You don't know when a huge pothole is gonna spring on you. Better roads with less policing, your average driver done it .

[John Chikanda @john_chikanda]

@Stepper7777 @sheug @KMutisi Can't imagine that as possible if you have only been exposed to Zim roads hanti. Or ndipo pamunoti 120 limit?

@DavidColtart Rutenga to Masvingo is even worse.
