We, the People, have spoken:
THERE WILL BE A REFERENDUM! 🗳️
If the President ignores the clear provisions of the Constitution and denies the people a say on this Bill then we, the people, must organize our own referendum!

THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE FERRET FORCES 🧵 (Part 3)
No movement is destroyed from the outside first.
It begins from within.
By the time the 2023 elections approached, the Ferret Forces had already won many battles. We had defended the revolutionary party, defended President @edmnangagwa and fought the information war with conviction and consistency.
But beneath the victories, cracks had begun to appear.
As Ferrets, we were never blind followers.
We defended.
But we also questioned.
We supported.
But we also criticised.
We believed that loyalty without honesty was dangerous. To us constructive criticism was never an act of rebellion. It was an act of patriotism.
After all, we took our cue from the President himself, who had repeatedly called for openness, accountability and the courage to correct mistakes where they existed.
But not everyone saw it that way. To some, criticism meant disloyalty. To some, asking difficult questions meant undermining the party.
To some, demanding accountability meant disrespecting authority. Slowly, a dangerous narrative emerged. The Ferrets were now being portrayed as rogue elements.
As people who had suddenly become enemies of the very cause they had spent years defending.
Mistrust crept in.
Whispers became gossip.
Gossip became suspicion.
Suspicion became division.
And like every movement built on trust and camaraderie, seeds of discord found fertile ground. Some began to feel bigger than the movement itself. Others sought recognition beyond the brotherhood. Some formed new alliances. Others marketed themselves elsewhere as leaders of a movement that had never recognised kings.
Personal ambitions slowly began to compete with collective ideals and somewhere along the way, brotherhood gave way to egos. Like all great movements, perhaps we had been infiltrated.
Perhaps seeds had been planted amongst us. Perhaps ambition had simply overtaken conviction. To this day, many of us do not know how it happened. But we know that something changed.
Yet despite the divisions, despite the labels, despite the mistrust and despite the attempts to isolate us, the Ferret Forces remained steadfast. We continued defending the party. We continued defending the President.
And when the 2023 elections came, we once again stood firm. But we remained true to ourselves. We refused to surrender our voice.
Because we believed governments must listen. We believed leaders must be accountable. We believed the distance between government and the people had become too great. And we believed silence in the face of shortcomings was not loyalty. It was cowardice!
Unfortunately, principles are expensive and in politics, those who speak uncomfortable truths are often misunderstood.
Some became favourites.
Others became outcasts.
Some found access.
Others found isolation.
And as new interests emerged, something else entered the picture.
Money.
Trinkets.
Recognition.
Influence.
And with them came betrayals that would forever change the brotherhood.
That story...Is Part 4.
To be continued......
State capture doesn't announce itself.
Until it throws a $20 million wedding.
