@daddyhope The man fought like a wounded lion! This is what Parliament is supposed to look like... courage, conviction, and principle.
A reminder that one fearless voice armed with facts can expose the weakness of an entire argument.
Well done, Hon. Gumbo!
@daddyhope Xenophobia can only truly end when children are taught the truth: Africa helped liberate South Africa. That history must be part of the school curriculum. Catch them young, teach Ubuntu early. ๐๐ฟ๐ฆ

By President Mnangagwa letting his supporters try to extend his term limit through violence and persecution of those who donโt support his term extension, after saying that he is a constitutionalist who will step down when the time is right, in 2024, he is staining his own legacy as it now seems that like he is another power hungry President who doesnโt want to leave power. #CAB3 #NoToCAB3

As an anecdote, last week, Joshua Maponga had an accident on his way to Kwekwe. Speaking from Arundel Hospital, he lamented the fact that after his accident, he spent over 4 hrs waiting by the roadside for emergency services on that stretch of road. Once the ambulance arrived, Maponga was taken to a private hospital called Arundel, owned by Kuda Tagwirei, all the way in Harareโskipping a number of government hospitals in Kwekwe, Chegutu and even Harareโsimply because none of them could provide proper emergency care.
Sanctions on Zimbabwe were removed on March 4, 2024, so why do we still not have adequate ambulances and emergency services in our public hospitals for any class of person to get quality care?
The reason we fought to remove sanctions was to enable our government to sign lease agreements to lease ambulances with wellโresourced fleet managers in Zimbabwe or South Africa (they donโt have to buy them cash), so that weโd have enough ambulances in every town and city to save lives in emergencies. Our government can afford monthly instalments for a huge fleet of ambulances and fire trucks.
We also did it so that our government could import the latest medical equipment from anywhere in the world, which they can do now since sanctions are gone.
So whereโs the problem? The problem is that since ZANU PF got another mandate in the 2023 elections and since sanctions were removed in March 2024, our leaders have spent more time focused on promoting 2030 than buying ambulances. So, how would you rate the Presidentโs delivery on healthcare: excellent, good, fair, bad, or poor? Does he deserve a term extension?
@advocatemahere@ProfMadhuku On point Fadzi! A nation that silences legal minds with force sends a dangerous message...that power matters more than principle. If you canโt persuade the people, you donโt get to punch them into agreement. Zanu marhwadzo!
@matinyarare ๐ฏ Rutendo! If the goal was unity and growth, this approach is counterproductive. Nothing resurrects a weak opposition faster than heavy-handed repression.
@Shadaya_Knight Watanga chikomana! Electric vehicles can reduce fuel use in transport, but oil isnโt just fuel... itโs plastics, chemicals, medicines, fertilizers, aviation, shipping, and industry. EVs donโt make oil irrelevant. EVs target petrol and diesel cars, not the entire oil economy!
@Shadaya_Knight Thatโs an oversimplification. Some NGOs fail but many save lives daily. From HIV treatment to disaster relief. NGOs exist because governments fail to deliver basic services. If governments did their jobs, NGOs wouldnโt be needed in the first place. Stay in your lane though...
@daddyhope Bravo! No vigilante group gets to decide who deserves healthcare or education. The timing was right as Dudula's next target was schools this coming January. That would have been tragic! No society should ever tolerate children being punished for borders they did not choose.
@BBCAfrica Breaking news like this keeps repeating because the laws are not biting hard enough. In South Africa, if youโre found with an unlicensed firearm ... jail must be certain and long. No excuses. We must prioritise innocent lives over criminalsโ rights.
@LynneStactia Vaudze! Across Africa, the handshake between greed and politics has dimmed the light of democracy. Until citizens rise beyond fear, the cycle of stolen hope will continue...
@alphanet84@daddyhope@JobSikhala1 Muvengi anesimba kurwa kuchave kukututi. Well done if the warning was sincere. I hope it wasn't a deliberate self fulfilling prophecy...
@advocatemahere Powerful piece of truth-telling ๐ The dream of independence died the day African presidents began to mimic their former masters. African presidents have mastered one thing... how to issue statements on Palestine while ignoring atrocities at home! Popcorn..check, data..check!
@daddyhope Any leader afraid to face her own citizens on inauguration day knows deep down that she has no mandate to lead them. You canโt claim unity when your oath is guarded by guns. True legitimacy doesnโt need camouflage! Popcorn..check, data..check.
@advocatemahere Taura hako! When corrupt power meets corrupt money, democracy never stands a chance. Across Africa, the handshake between greed and politics has dimmed the light of democracy. Until citizens rise beyond fear, the cycle of stolen hope will continue.
