Common sense is not common practice, to this date as a financial engineer, I've seen plenty and plenty more, failing to postpone consumption and fully utilizing their savings into a meaningful investment, it's a mess !
The first three hours of a crisis often define its outcome—and how the public perceives your response. Building a strong system with clear roles and communication protocols before a crisis hits is critical. In Africa’s fast-paced political campaigns, that preparation can make or break public trust.
At @ShikamoCampaign, we help organisations and campaigns design agile crisis communication frameworks that protect reputation and sustain momentum when it matters most.

Sustainable campaigns are not built on clout, but on trust and delivery.
In an era of rising political scrutiny, citizens are observing, questioning, and demanding transparency.
Commit. Deliver. Report back.

Proud of what @wode_maya has done for Lesotho 🇱🇸 🤌🏿! NOT CNN, BBC, Sky, FOX can deliver this kind of Brand Exposure for a country! It’s tragic that African Governments will pay top dollar for “White Owned” media/Lobby Firms instead of supporting African Talent!! It can never get more authentic that this kind of country leveraging
YOU might not like ZANU PF, but there’s something deeply flawed with our political discourse.
I work in Communication and Multimedia specifically on digital tools and systems, I have done a couple of National political campaigns and political strategic sessions in several countries with the likes of @glenmpani
Trababalas was trending and the same voices that lead criticism had a good run on the keyboard from misinformation, disinformation and anything else
Too often, what we call “critique” is just performance.
What we call “activism” is often just content creation for clout. And what we call “holding power accountable” is sometimes nothing more than outrage without a plan.
It’s also something we see even in the corporate world those who give work to our relatives are treated unfairly but those critics rush to those relative for financial help.
It’s not that scrutiny is bad far from it. Democracy depends on strong, informed opposition. But what we’re seeing now isn’t scrutiny. It’s what I call self sabotage. A type of political theatre where the loudest voices win attention, not because they’re right, but because the social Media algorithm rewards outrage.
This is the toxicity trap.
We’ve created a culture where every government action must be ridiculed. If a road is built, it’s “optics.” If an airport is upgraded, it’s “for elites.” If a border post becomes more efficient, it’s “window dressing.” But here’s the uncomfortable truth: many of the same critics who trashed these projects now use them. Every day.
No one tweets about how the new highway saved them time. Or how the new dam secured water for their hometown. That part doesn’t trend.
And still, the cycle continues. Performative opposition becomes a badge of honour. Tangible improvements are mocked as distractions. We act as if admitting anything works is an act of betrayal. But is that honesty or insecurity?
President @edmnangagwa won’t take the roads, dams, or border posts with him when he leaves office. Like it or not, those developments now belong to Zimbabwe. The next generation inherits them. And that should matter more than the daily scoreboard of who said what on X or facebook .
If you’re in politics or aspire to be, pay attention. The culture you create now will be the standard used against you later. Today’s sarcastic commentator could be tomorrow’s Minister of Infrastructure. What narrative will you walk into office with? The internet does not forget
We can do better.
We need opposition that builds, not just barks. Critique that offers alternatives, not just applause lines. Politics driven by vision, not vengeance.
Healthy democracies thrive on accountability. But when critique becomes theatre when it’s designed to trend instead of transform it fails the very people it claims to protect.
politicians and activists journalists Stop outrage farming on social media
Zimbabwe deserves more than noise. It deserves leadership and it’s not just about those in power it’s also about you who might lead.
Let’s raise the standard.
Happy International Women's Day to all the incredible women around the world. Today, I had the privilege of celebrating this special day with @whrdinitiative & activists. We marked the occasion in style, honoring the achievements and resilience of women everywhere.
The Illusion of Choice: Breaking Free from the Cycle
Why are we trapped in the same tired debates? Coup or no coup. ED or Chiwenga. 2028 or 2030. Elections or no elections. These are not choices—they are distractions.
The real question is: How do we break free?
https://t.co/wX8s2R3vNb do we shatter the illusion that leadership must always emerge from the same party?
https://t.co/GGADGVlm6U do we dismantle the grip of the deep state?
https://t.co/83kXdArWgK do we reclaim an economy that serves the people, not the powerful?
It’s time to stop choosing between pre-scripted options and start rewriting the script itself.
