Yesterday i argued its unstrategic for @KMutisi and Varakashi to bark over why @paultungwarara KO'd @matinyarare

It was wisdom in practice disassembling Rutendo.

The party benefits in de escalation than confrontation.

Those pursuing conflict want Rutendo to harm their leaders

[Rutendo Matinyarare @matinyarare]

I have recordings of most of my meetings and telephone conversations with Kuda Tagwirei.

Secondly, the instruction for me not to remove executive order sanctions for at least 5 years from the time I met him in 2022, so that he could buy up more companies struggling under sanctions, was not given to me alone. There were witnesses.

Additionally, his instruction that I must not fight the Magnitsky sanctions on the President, First Lady, and others after removing the executive order sanctions were removed in 2024 was given to me by him and his associates several times, in front of witnesses too. That is why you saw me not touching the Magnitsky sanctions.

Finally, and over and above everything, his conduct emboldened the Americans to impose the Magnitsky sanctions on him, the President, First Lady, and other senior officials two years later. Specifically because:

1. He refused to pay the lawyers he got us to engage to fight sanctions for two years while we were in court.
2. He refused to depose and sign affidavits in South African courts in our case against Biden, the US Treasury, global banks, the Secretary of State, and others. This was after they laid out their reasons for sanctioning Kuda and others under executive order sanctions.

I don’t quite agree that this suffices as a breach of the Patriotic Act but it maybe read as treason or failure to combat economic warfare/sabotage.

This is what most African players go through with agents.

June 2014 we started a new season and i joined Vitesse Arnhem from Red Star Belgrade and My good friend Marvelous Nakamba a.k.a Oga landlord is on trial.

He left Nancy in France for a trial with Vitesse and after he was signed on a 4years deal.

Then something interesting happened and the agent that brought him to Vitesse was a French guy who has been working with him for a while.

Me and Nakamba stayed very close to each other in Oosterbeek and we basically do everything together.

One day he told me that he ran out of money and I asked him how because i knew how much he was earning and I was like how is it possible you don't have money.

He said the French agent always take money from him every months even after he was already paid commission by Vitesse.

So I asked him how is he taking money from you and he said that it's what the representation contract says.

Then I asked him to show me the contract, my eyes couldn't believe what I'm reading in the contract.

I have always been open to learning about contracts and the FIFA rules so I had an idea what a representation contract should look like.

After reading it there was a lot of foul play in the contract and I can't even understand how the agent was able to logged it in the FA.

So I called lawyer that we have a problem and if he could help so he asked I should send him the rep contact and he will get back to me.

He my lawyer came back to me he said the contract is not legal so I asked him to help and he did by just sending email to the French agent and we reported him to Vitesse as well and we never heard from him again.

A lot of African players have been exploited by the lack of knowledge of the FIFA rules about rep contracts that most of these players ended up signing their lifes away.

True story....

[Hon Minister Machakaire @HonMachakaire]

Good day Uncle @TembaMliswa .
It is rather ironic that individuals who consciously chose to distance themselves from the Party and pursue independent political paths now seek to lecture ZANU PF on matters relating to leadership, structures and internal processes.

As discussed in our last meeting, I made it very clear that I neither possess the mandate nor the intention to insult any member of the Presidium. As an appointee of His Excellency, the President and First Secretary of ZANU PF, Cde Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, my responsibility remains confined to discharging my duties within the Youth League in line with the Party Constitution and the mandate entrusted to me.

ZANU PF remains a disciplined revolutionary Party governed through established structures, constitutional processes and collective leadership not through social media commentary, personal opinions or sponsored narratives.

Attempts to manufacture divisions within the Youth League through provocative and unfounded assertions are regrettable and unnecessary. I will therefore not be drawn into distractions designed to create confusion or undermine Party unity.

The Youth League remains focused on discipline, empowerment, unity and advancing the national development vision under the leadership of His Excellency the President towards the attainment of Vision 2030.

Having spent many years in recruitment, I continue to see organisations making the same mistakes when hiring. One of the most common problems is the use of arbitrary requirements in job adverts, especially around qualifications and years of experience. Why should a job require 10 or 15 years of experience? Is there really a meaningful difference between someone with 10 years of experience and someone with 9? In most cases, there is not.

Research consistently shows that the relationship between years of experience and job performance is weak. After a certain point, additional years of experience add very little predictive value.
Organisations therefore need to stop obsessing over long experience requirements and instead define a reasonable threshold that reflects what is genuinely necessary to perform the job.

The same problem appears in qualification requirements. Job adverts often state that “an MBA is an added advantage” or list multiple degrees without any clear justification. Who determined that this qualification actually improves performance in that specific role? Evidence shows that additional years of formal education do not automatically translate into better job performance.

If you look at many job adverts today, you will see a long list of arbitrary criteria that unnecessarily exclude capable candidates. In many cases, these requirements have simply been copied from previous adverts without any serious thinking about the work itself.

The correct approach is to start with a proper job profile based on the actual work to be done. Define the level of decision-making, the complexity of problems to be solved, the knowledge required, and the outcomes expected. Once the work is clearly defined, the appropriate capabilities, experience, and qualifications become much easier to determine.

Hiring should be anchored in the realities of the job, not in generic job descriptions.

I have been very clear and consistent in my reports on Iran’s nuclear programme: while there has been no evidence of Iran building a nuclear bomb, its large stockpile of near-weapons grade enriched uranium and refusal to grant my inspectors full access are cause for serious concern. For these reasons, my previous reports indicate that unless and until Iran assists the @IAEAorg in resolving the outstanding safeguards issues, the Agency will not be in a position to provide assurance that Iran’s nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful.

Zimbabwe’s digital tax stack is inflating the cost of online services. A $217 service becomes nearly $300 after VAT (15.5%), DSWT (15.5%), IMTT (2%), and bank charges (~1.2%). We are effectively punishing people for using our banking system, pushing the final cost ~38% above the base price.

الإمارات تعلن التصدي "بنجاح" لعدد من الصواريخ الإيرانية على الدولة

أعلنت وزارة الدفاع تعرض دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة اليوم لهجوم سافر بصواريخ باليستية إيرانية، حيث تعاملت معها الدفاعات الجوية الإماراتية بكفاءة عالية وتم التصدي بنجاح لعدد من الصواريخ.

كما تعاملت الأجهزة المختصة في الدولة مع سقوط شظايا على منطقة سكنية في مدينة أبوظبي، أسفرت عن بعض الأضرار المادية، و وفاة شخص من الجنسية الآسيوية.

وتؤكد الجهات المختصة بأن الوضع الأمني في الدولة تحت السيطرة، وجميع الجهات المعنية تتابع التطورات على مدار الساعة.

وأدانت الوزارة هذا الهجوم بأشد العبارات، مؤكدة رفض الدولة القاطع لاستهداف الأعيان المدنية والمنشآت والمؤسسات الوطنية، مشددة على أن مثل هذه الأعمال تمثل تصعيداً خطيراً وعملاً جباناً يهدد أمن وسلامة المدنيين ويقوض الاستقرار.

وشددت الوزارة على أن هذا الاستهداف يُعدّ انتهاكاً صارخاً للسيادة الوطنية وللقانون الدولي، وأن الدولة تحتفظ بحقها الكامل في الرد على هذا التصعيد واتخاذ جميع الإجراءات اللازمة لحماية أراضيها وشعبها والمقيمين فيها، وبما يضمن صون سيادتها وأمنها واستقرارها ويحمي مصالحها ومقدراتها الوطنية.

وأكدت الوزارة أنها على أهبة الاستعداد والجاهزية للتعامل مع أية تهديدات، وأنها تتخذ كافة الإجراءات اللازمة للتصدي بحزم لكل ما يستهدف زعزعة أمن الدولة واستقرارها، وأضافت أن سلامة المواطنين والمقيمين والزوار تمثل أولوية قصوى لا يمكن التهاون فيها.

وتهيب الوزارة بالجمهور الكريم استقاء المعلومات من المصادر الرسمية في الدولة، وتجنب تداول الشائعات أو المعلومات غير الموثوقة.

Few more details
Two carriers. Two missions. One adversary.
1️⃣ USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) — THE SWORD
Location: Arabian Sea, ~850–1,000 km from Iranian coastline.
Strike Radius:
F-35C combat radius: 1,100+ km
F/A-18 range: 700–1,000 km with tankers
Tomahawk Land Attack Missile: 1,600+ km
Payload:
Carrier Air Wing: 60–70 strike aircraft
Escorts: 300–400 VLS cells, dozens loaded with Tomahawks
Purpose:
→ Direct offensive pressure on Iran’s missile, nuclear & IRGC infrastructure.
→ Can launch strikes within hours of an order.
2️⃣ USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) — THE SHIELD
Location: Off Haifa, Eastern Mediterranean.
Closest to Israeli population centers: Haifa (30–40 km), Tel Aviv (~150 km).
Why here? The stats:
Aegis BMD Power
Ford’s escorts include Ticonderoga/Arleigh Burke ships with:
96–122 missile cells each
SM-2/SM-3/SM-6 interceptors capable of:
Anti-ballistic missile
Anti-cruise missile
Hypersonic defense (limited)
Likely total in the region:
➡️ 4–6 Aegis destroyers cruisers
➡️ 250–350+ high-end interceptors ready
➡️ Integrated with Israel’s:
Iron Dome (~90% success vs rockets)
David’s Sling
Patriot batteries
Arrow-3 (exo-atmospheric BMD)
This creates a multi-layer defensive dome over Israel’s north.
Purpose:
→ Shield Israel from incoming Iranian MRBMs/SRBMs
→ Ensure US radars/SAMs sit directly in the path of Iranian retaliation
→ Create a tripwire where striking Israel risks striking the US Navy
3️⃣ Why this doctrine hasn’t been used since 1945
In WWII’s Pacific theater:
One carrier group delivered strikes
Another covered defense against counterattacks
That separation disappeared for 81 years — until now.
Today:
Lincoln = Offensive Strike Force
Ford = Defensive Shield + Tripwire
This is textbook dual-carrier architecture.
4️⃣ The Iran Equation — Hard Numbers
Iran’s Arsenal
Ballistic missiles: 2,000–3,000 (all classes)
Cruise missiles: hundreds
Drones: thousands (Shahed series)
Range to Israel
Tehran → Haifa: 1,550–1,700 km
Iran has multiple MRBMs with 1,800–2,000 km range
→ Meaning every serious retaliation involves long-range missiles
→ These fly through Eastern Mediterranean airspace where Ford’s CSG sits
5️⃣ The Real Strategy — “Escalation Insurance”
Positioning Ford off Haifa does 3 things:
1. Raises the cost of Iranian retaliation
Any missile that endangers Israel automatically risks:
entering Aegis radar range
triggering US interceptors
threatening US aircraft overhead
2. Removes political ambiguity
If Iran retaliates heavily and a US ship intercepts or gets targeted,
the US can respond under self-defense, not “new war decision.”
3. Forces coalition alignment
NATO + regional partners cannot refuse a US “self-defense” call.
This turns a limited strike into a coalition conflict without debates.
6️⃣ Probability in real-world terms
Based on force posture + historical patterns:
De-escalation: 35–50%
Limited US strike on Iranian infrastructure: 30–40%
Short high-intensity exchange: 10–20%
Full regional war: <10%
Ford’s position increases:
✔️ Deterrence
✔️ US–Israel integration
✔️ Likelihood the US enters if Iran retaliates
