The celebrations are too much for a mere renovation. If renovations and general maintenance were a routine thing, nurses wouldn't be abused like this.

Nurses take to the dance floor to entertain the crowd ahead of President Mnangagwa's arrival at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals for the commissioning of refurbished Adlam House.

Lets not always blame the state of the Zimbabwean economy, with regards to this boy, its sheer stupidity, idiocy, laziness and shamelessness.
Some are engaging in small income generating projects while this lumpen is busy begging.

@manzangab 2. For the record, Xnity, contributed nothing, for Africa already had its social values, and principles founded on morally upright religious belief systems.

Homosexuality in all its forms including transgender isn't allowed in Zimbabwe. Its disgusting. ZRP must arrest that one next to Mudha.

@manzangab @manzangab wherever homosexuality 'thrived' as you put it, was never legal or supported by any recognised governance system.
I admit, this disgusting act has existed since time immemorial, but that doesn't make it any good.
It's really nauseating.

This young man Tobias Matonhodze is paying for the crumbles that he enjoyed and mere association with the former first family.

#BREAKING Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe pleads guilty to pointing a firearm and being an illegal immigrant in South Africa. His cousin, Tobias Matonhodze, pleads guilty to attempted murder, defeating the ends of justice, illegal immigration and possession of ammunition.

Lawyer Laurence Hodes asks for suspended sentences for both, which will serve as a 'warning' to them, a monetary fine, and compensation to the victim. Both men also willing to self-deport. Matter postponed to April 24 to ascertain if victim Sipho Mahlangu has been compensated, and to seek their cooperation on location of firearm.

@MagwenziNzou It might be premature to conclude but you seem to have predicted well. I think the US has found the going tough in the face of a religious hardened nation.

Last kicks of a dying horse.
Iran is now kicking anything that's close and looks like a football.
Drones all over without any strategy, only to inflict pain on innocent civilians.
This is Kurdish's moment, grab it!!

[Obadiah Dodo @obedodo]

@MagwenziNzou @MagwenziNzou I don't think Iran has sustainably turned the tables.
I think the US is just tweaking its strategy before it unleashes its final blows.

This is the gentleman who has caused the 3rd World War.

[Obadiah Dodo @obedodo]

After the UK Starmer declined to assist the US in the ongoing war with Iran, Trump said, "We will remember".
The speech below is motivated by the downing of the Black Hawks, capture and killing of the US marines in Mogadishu in 1993.
He surely doesn't forget.
Why don't you learn to forgive and forget Mr Trump?

Grace Mugabe is getting close to ED for a reason. Marunjeya wants help to get Chatunga back home from SA.

Can we take a moment to just appreciate how hot Grace Mugabe is?.

Is she dating anyone?.

Zimbabweans are generally believed to be tolerant, disciplined and patient people. In fact, they easily forget.
It's this characteristic that politicians always take advantage of.
There have been several national crises and controversial issues over the years that have but suddenly lost interest and traction.
Zimbabweans lose interest due to;
1. Fragmentation of the opposition politicians
2. Political fatigue
3. Repression
4. Shifted attention.
Politicians have also created side shows to help divert attention from some of these controversial issues, with the potential to transform the national polico-economic landscape.
Some of the national issues that have lost traction include;
1. Gwanda solar project
2. Goat project
3. Muzarabani oil and gas
4. CCC Tshabangu decimation project
5. ZIG currency
6. 2023 alleged stolen election
7. Tagwirei's presidential bid.
The current Constitutional Bill will soon be a thing of the past and all the prevailing hullabaloo will be dead and buried.
That's how Zimbabweans view controversial issues and politicians are aware of that. They're not worried about all the forums, meetings and scheduled protests.

[Obadiah Dodo @obedodo]

There are reports that ministry of energy officials in Zimbabwe are working flat out to ensure that the Muzarabani oil and gas are expeditiously exported with a view to filling the gap created following the crisis in Strait of Hormuz.

[Obadiah Dodo @obedodo]

@FMaguwu With such destruction to nature, isn't there some other civil means of getting these saboteurs arrested? (Like private civil laws/processes)
Police (zrp) system has failed and politicians are hyper active in defence of such barbaric investment.
This is disgusting

There is a falsehood being spread by the Chapwati Cult that MPs went to the swearing-in in Parliament against the advice of the leader. This is not correct. In fact, a meeting was called the same day, ostensibly to select our own candidates to field for Speaker and Deputy Speaker. However, the meeting was deliberately dragged past the start of the election. We were only released from the advocates' chambers five minutes before the start of the Speaker's election, and we had to travel to the new Parliament in Mt. Hampden. We obviously arrived after the Speaker had been voted in. Chinhu chakange Chatonwirwa kare ichi."

The US is enjoying the pole position of being a global super-power while the rest are trembling and wetting pants down there. It is not the first though and definitely, will not be the last. Others before it have collapsed and fatally so.
Persia, Spain, Great Britain, USSR and others easily come to mind.
What I foresee as some of the closest reasons for the fatal collapse of the US domination include;
1. Complacency: What President Trump is doing; arbitrary invasions and abuse of economic trade protocols and systems is a clear sign that Washington now believes invincibility and a ‘so what’ attitude.
2. Military exhaustion and overstretching: The US has chosen to partake in too many wars with the potential to expose the military. Remember, G/Britain’s supremacy collapsed after its participation in the 1st and 2nd World Wars.
3. Territorial overextension: Sometimes a territory is difficult to control, monitor and police if it is vast. The USSR collapsed due to its failure to control some of its spaces within the union.
4. Lack of overt competition: The fact that no great power is ready to confront and challenge the US militarily, the latter has become big-headed and relaxed. It is this big-headedness which stops/retards innovation, growth and development. There is a danger in this innovation stagnation in that other powers might be busy innovating and developing secretly. 
History repeats and what goes around comes around. Definitely, dominance is temporary and transferable. It might not be long before another power emerges unless the US has some trick in its back pocket that it wants to pull at the hour of need.
Another intelligence system can also break it apart in the same fashion that the US tore the USSR apart.

Netanyahu went to MIT and lived in the U.S.

But as you can see, Benjamin Netanyahu isn’t the name he went by in the United States
