Look at him! He lives in a 20M mansion but can’t find sleep. He has fat bank accounts in western banks but looks more miserable than a poor man. This is the price of blood, this is the price of guilt and treason.
I've asked myself this same question for almost a decade. My conclusion is, look at the board. As with the recent Dischem board, when the board consists almost entirely of lawyers and accountants, instead of people with industry knowledge and business experience, growth is not the goal.
🔸So what should you do?
1. Find someone you trust, tell them what happened and lean on them for emotional support.
2. Secure the services of an elite criminal lawyer. The more serious the offence, the better and more experienced lawyer you need.
3. Have a consultation with your lawyer one-on-one. Nobody else should be in the room. Tell the lawyer everything in detail with particular focus on your mental state when the incident happened. Explain what triggered you to do what you did. Tell the lawyer what happened just before and just after. Err on the side of giving “too much” information.
4. Hear the lawyer’s instinctual advice immediately after you’ve narrated the story. Try not to argue with the lawyer.
5. Ask questions. What defences, if any are available. How should you plead - guilty or not guilty? What should you do to give you the best chance of securing bail? Ask what procedural steps need to be taken. Ask about your prospects of success if you do try and defend the allegations. Ask what the worst case scenario is. Ask what potential sentence you will be facing. Ask whether you can secure a gag order for the media during the trial. Ask whether the case can be held in camera. Ask what evidence may be needed to bolster your case if the lawyer thinks you have a defence.
6. Take the lawyer’s advice.
7. Avoid getting a second opinion.
8. Do exactly what your lawyer tells you to do.
9. Once you get to the police, do not say a word. Let the lawyer do all the talking. All of it.
10. Do not post a thing online. Deactivate your social media accounts.
11. Do not speak to the media. Ask your family and friends not to speak to the media or post anything in respect of you or the case. Get a trusted person to manage the PR as appropriate. Get psychological support.
12. Breathe.
We need new leaders.🇿🇼
@pasinaDambudzo@Tjenisani It's not about feeling inferiority...many zimbos are proud zimbos even with a new passport. The British need to stop being political in some of these stories. These undertones they cause havoc and problems for our brothers and friends.
@MakatikeleNoko@jackson_rem@TSM_2020 Zimbabwe is different from SA your whole post right now you can be arrested for it I'm Zimbabwe. It's not a kids game
@pasinaDambudzo@Tjenisani Mdara this is true check Joshua and Saka how they are treated too it's how the media controls the narrative and creates the violences we see in the UK nowadays. Those little simple words have greater meaning and greater consequences for our brothers in the western world.
@riperileahe@DrLimukaniMathe In SA you protest and the police are jogging with you they fire rubber bullets now and then in Zimbabwe if you protest the army beats everyone they fire live rounds to people without guns . These nations are totally different. In Zimbabwe Jacinta would have been arrested already
@Noalilv@GozieInLondon@GitmoA@MikeTappTweets Lol 1st ,2nd and 3rd of they are citizens they are British it's only racist people who refuse to acknowledge that . The care workers are getting exploited by the companies because of certificate of sponsorship trap the HO must fix that only
There was a time Freeman Chari @freemanchari shared his inspiring journey of breaking into tech. I don’t know if the thread is still up, but boy… that story lit a undying fire in me.
As a Chartered Accountant, I decided to go beyond just accounting principles. I started learning tech skills I could actually leverage.
Fast forward I now implement accounting systems and solutions end-to-end, automating processes, and delivering real solutions for small and medium businesses and within my audit teams.
I am no longer just using systems anymore. I now understand both the backend and frontend deeply.
I have also been heavily involved in audit transformation projects, playing a key role in rolling out tech-led audit methodologies and training teams on data driven audit methodologies.
All of this started because Freeman openly shared his story. I am forever grateful and I still remind myself of it often.
Thank you, Freeman Chari. 🙏
