@SeanXrazz its you who should hear yourself, our constitution specifically states no changes can benefit an incumbent and yet here were are a clear provision is being violated.

[Lance Guma @LanceGuma]

Ghana's government has accepted proposals to extend the presidential term from four to five years and lower the minimum age for presidential candidates to 35.

But there's one small detail: the Ghanaian people will have the final say in a national referendum in 2027. That's how constitutional changes of this magnitude are supposed to work in a democracy.

Meanwhile, in the banana republic called Zimbabwe, those in power seemingly decided that asking the people would only complicate matters.

Instead, they simply ignored the need for a referendum, fully aware there was little public appetite for extending the terms of the President and legislators from five to seven years.

It's amazing how "the will of the people" is celebrated—right up until the people are actually given the chance to express it.

In my view, I struggle to understand why activists aligned with Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and those supporting opposition leader Nelson Chamisa are expending so much energy fighting each other when they ultimately share the same principal political opponent: President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Chamisa, whatever criticisms may legitimately be levelled against his leadership, remains a significant political figure. At the last general election he attracted more than two million votes, making him a force that cannot simply be wished away.

Likewise, Chiwenga, despite his long association with the very administration he now appears increasingly at odds with, has gained considerable political goodwill among some Zimbabweans because of perceptions that he opposes entrenched corruption and has resisted attempts to extend President Mnangagwa's tenure through Constitutional Amendment No. 3 (CAB3).

History shows that divided opposition often benefits the incumbent. The failure to build strategic alliances has repeatedly allowed those in power to consolidate their position while their opponents remain fragmented.

As debate continues around Agenda 2030 and calls from some Mnangagwa supporters for him to remain in office beyond his current constitutional term, those seeking political change appear more focused on attacking one another than developing a coherent strategy.

President Mnangagwa's political machinery has often been characterised by long-term planning and careful organisation. By contrast, many of his opponents seem trapped in a cycle of emotional reactions and short-term tactical battles, rather than disciplined, strategic thinking.

Political commentators and analysts have every right—and indeed a responsibility—to critique leaders and hold them accountable.

But if you are an active political operator within either the Chiwenga or Chamisa camps, constantly attacking one another sends a different message. It suggests that internal rivalries matter more than achieving the broader political objective you claim to share.

Politics is often compared to chess for a reason. It rewards patience, coalition-building, timing and strategic calculation—not simply winning the loudest argument on social media.

Imagine what could be achieved if even half the energy currently devoted to insulting one another was instead invested in building alliances, developing policy and crafting a credible strategy for change.

That, in my opinion, would pose a far greater political challenge than the infighting we are witnessing today.

@LanceGuma F1 is a very technical sport.Of course the one with the fastest car wins but that is not entirely true.Driver skill plays 20-30 % of the https://t.co/Bp15NqNH2j equal machinery Kimi is extracting 0.2 sec/lap over Russell whilst Verstappen 0.4 over Hadjdar.Driver matters

Lewis Hamilton has definitely got me interested in Formula 1—but if I'm honest, it's more because of his inspirational journey than the sport itself.

Hamilton's story is remarkable. A seven-time Formula One World Drivers' Champion, he is tied with the legendary Michael Schumacher for the most titles in the history of the sport. That alone is an incredible achievement.

Maybe I just need to invest more time in understanding F1, because from where I'm sitting, it often feels like the team with the fastest car wins the most races. That leaves me wondering: how much of the result is down to the driver's skill, and how much is the machinery?

Last year, McLaren seemed to have the class of the field. This year, Mercedes appear to have built a phenomenal car, and Kimi Antonelli is winning races with it.

Watching that has me thinking that if Lewis Hamilton had this year's Mercedes instead of moving to Ferrari, he might well have been on his way to breaking the tie with Schumacher and setting a new all-time record with an eighth world title.

That's why I still struggle to understand how much of Formula 1 is about the driver and how much is about the car. To an outsider, it sometimes feels like the machinery has the biggest say.

Formula 1 fans, this is your chance to educate me. How much difference can a truly great driver make if they don't have the fastest car? Class is officially in session—but go easy on the rookie! 😄🏎️

I genuinely hope that one day Simba Chikanza (ZimEye editor and fake Baba Jukwa) gets the help he deserves.

At some point, you reach a stage where anger gives way to concern. What troubles me even more is that there are people who appear willing to exploit his situation for their own political ends.

Over the years, many who have considered taking legal action against him have had to weigh the significant cost of litigation in the UK against the reality that he appears to have no meaningful assets or property to recover, even if they were successful.

It's a sad situation all round. I can only hope he eventually gets the support he needs.
