Grateful to have took part in this year's electoral processes as a National Assembly Nominee for Nketa Constituency under @CCCZimbabwe, although I didn't make it at the caucases,Im appealing to all NKETA CITIZENS here present on Twitter to vote fo our CCC Candidate Obert Manduna.
I laugh at people who are always angry at Chamisa even after he stepped away from a role as a party leader as if the people themselves are chickens or sitting tomatoes.
Then there are those who are always angry that you don’t take their ideas. And l ask myself “Why are they not using and implementing those GRAND ideas so they lead us?”
Then those who say Chamisa owes us votes from 2023, but then l ask myself after you realized he is not a man of action, what did YOU do to show Chamisa how it’s done.
Then those who said Chamisa is selfish, and a dictator, because he was made successful by everyone those around him. After he left those who were around him are NOWHERE to be found.
Now he is a private Citizen tweeting like everyone who wants change. Still every USELESS man and woman are busy with insulting him. Why not use your own big ideas to transform Zimbabwe ?
Why are you not joining CCC or MDC, they are still there? I think!
On this day 7 years ago, six innocent Zimbabwean citizens were brutally killed by the Zimbabwean militia during a mass protest against the national political crisis.
Thousands were severely injured and harassed💔
Today we do not only remember their innocent souls but we spit on a government that is bereft of human decency, a government that fires live ammunition to its civilians💔
A shame💔
AN APPRECIATION POST
Fellow citizens, thank you for your unwavering support ever since I became a Presidential candidate in 2018.
You have walked this journey with me, and are still walking, through hope and heartbreak, through resistance and resilience. Twice, in 2018 and again in 2023, you stood up, emphatically voted for change, and overwhelmingly chose a new direction for our country. You, the great people of Zimbabwe wanted a President of your choice to lead the country but you were temporarily denied the chance all but twice.
Let it be clear: you won in numbers. And you did not waste your investment, in effort and time. You invested in hope. You earned the future. It’s an investment for change. Your effort was not in vain. Your sacrifice is not wasted. Your contribution is not unrecorded.
But we have been up against a tyranny held together by state abuse, repression, and coercion. A tyranny that has denied the will of the people, not because you were wrong, but because they are afraid of you, the great majority- the people of Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 Yet still, we remain resilient, resolute and unshaken.
The seed of change has been sown. It is alive and growing. The harvest has been delayed, but it cannot be denied. Delay is not denial.
Your effort, your faith, your courage; was not in vain. Your sacrifice has not gone unnoticed. Your contribution is recorded in the annals of history and the trajectory of this nation. Future generations will be thankful.
Our approach in 2023 was not the same as 2018, because in the fight against oppression, no strategy is cast in stone. This is a battle of to save lives and to save a nation. We sometimes miss. We sometimes omit. We commit. We adjust. We correct. We keep moving forward until we win. And win we must.
None of this would have been possible without you.
Some of you spent sleepless nights fundraising on Twitter Spaces, even raising funds from the citizens. What a remarkable citizens story and achievement! Zimbabweans at home and abroad have consistently and in different ways supported the struggle for freedom and change in Zimbabwe.
Others knocked on doors, campaigned from house to house, or travelled long distances to attend our rallies. Many of our brave comrades were beaten, jailed, or lost to politically motivated violence, a tragic trend that has ugly characterized our politics over the years.
We are a nation of great fighters, great warriors. We are a people of faith, but not faith in word only. Ours is a faith backed by action. We win through prayer, but also through planning and acting. We win on our knees, but also in diplomacy, advocacy and on the ground. Your support, spiritual, financial, physical, has kept the hope alive.
To the citizens of Zimbabwe, thank you.
To the prayer warriors, thank you.
To the backers, thank you.
To the campaigners and ground soldiers, thank you.
To everyone who contributed and continues to believe in us and in a New Great Zimbabwe-the next Zimbabwe, thank you.
To the international community and friends who are an inexhaustible supply of floods of solidarity and support, thank you.
I want you to know; I am not idle. I am consulting. I am building. I am assembling a new strategy and a citizens’ team that will carry and pivot this nation unto greatness and stardom.
I left CCC but not the mission. All because CCC was never the destination. It was just the vehicle meant to take us to the New Zimbabwe. When that vehicle was compromised, it became necessary to step out and prepare a better, cleaner, fit-for-purpose vehicle.
The hope is indestructible. The promise can never be compromised. The path is clear. The plan is solid #Godisinit The people have already won in spirit. Now we must complete the journey. Let’s fix it. Let’s finish it.
Stay active. Stay ready. Zimbabwe shall be the land of the free, great and prosperous
God bless you.
God bless Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Forever and always ~nc
This is Faith Zaba in prison garb at the worst prison in Africa, Chikurubi. She is the editor of Zimbabwe’s most influential weekly newspaper, The Independent. She was arrested and detained for publishing a satirical article.
I have been invited to speak on a television current affairs programme on Monday and by a South African university in two weeks’ time, all because of the arrest of the lady in this picture. When we speak the truth, it further cements the fact that Mnangagwa is a thoughtless dictator, only good at inflicting pain on critics and stealing public funds.
These actions by the Mnangagwa regime make it difficult to attract quality investment and discourage international re-engagement.
Faith Zaba has two young children and is unwell. Jailing her without trial for journalism is the act of a regime that is not comfortable with its mandate to run the country.
When a mother is jailed for telling the truth, it is not just journalism that is on trial, but the soul of a nation. She must be realised!
JUST IN: Receiving disturbing reports that the regime has arrested the following students:
Chairperson Narshon Kohlo
SG Tafadzwe Katsande
Blessing Mtis
Tawananyashe Hove
Nodesha Maingehama
Tariro Mtukura
For demanding education that they paid for amid the Lecturers strike at UZ
I’m glad to announce my admission to the Women's Rights in Africa Course 2025 by @CHR_HumanRights , @UPLawFaculty , a program aimed at advancing knowledge in the protection and promotion of women’s rights. As a Human Rights Masters student, I believe this opportunity will equip me with a broader understanding of women rights and legal frameworks that govern them. I’m immensely honoured for this fortuity and looking forward to learn!

Yesterday i visited the @NobelPeaceOslo, an iconic museum (courtesy of @rodekorsnorge). As I walked through its interactive hallways,I was not only reminded of how collective voices can bring about change but I was inspired by certain individuals who sacrificed themselves in order to promote peace and justice.The stories of resilient african women like Wangari Maathai and Leymah Gbowee who respectively mobilised women to play a crucial role in promoting sustainable development and led non violent protests against civil war in Liberia, are a testament of how women can push beyond their perceived limits.
