@MailSport City bashing paying well I see.

Can someone check on Oliver Holt? City has done irreversible damage to his mental wellbeing.

[Oli🦁👑 @Oliseh_11]

Well the constant moaning won’t change anything so why so insistent on it? For all we know, the final verdict could be years away so no point stressing about it no? Just enjoy the games and celebrate wins against them twice as hard if you’re that bothered. Also there’s no guarantee that any sanctions against them would affect past or current results and it was touted to be more forward facing, so I do not understand the “meaningless” claims you keep on throwing about.

With all the millions that Chivhayo had, @CMukungunugwa was his best pick for PR services.😂😂😂

Connecting the dots: Wicknell Chivayo, gold smuggling, & terrorism.

We all know the brutal conflict in Sudan between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) & the regular army has been raging since April 2023. But just yesterday, a massive bomb dropped in Malawi: General Paul Valentino Phiri was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau. The charge? Alleged involvement in property deals linked to "terrorism." In plain terms, he’s accused of helping arm Sudanese rebels with heavy weaponry.

This isn't a sudden development. Back in July 2025, a Platform for Investigative Journalism (PIJ) report revealed that US intelligence believed top Malawian military officials were secretly funnelling heavy arms to Sudan.

Now, this is where Wicknell Chivayo enters the frame. It’s well-documented that Chivayo met with former Malawian President Peter Mutharika multiple times, & he also had sit-downs with Lazarus Chakwera. While the investigators targeting General Phiri haven’t officially named the financial backer behind these massive weapon shipments—which are rumoured to be worth up to $4 billion—the word on the street points squarely at Chivayo. We all know Chivayo was just a front. There is really only one person who controls that kind of liquid cash, largely because they can’t use standard banking channels.
While there is no paper trail proving who funded the July 2025 weapons shipment, look at the timeline: on July 15, 2025, Chivayo flew into Malawi & met with then-President Chakwera. Is that just a coincidence? Highly unlikely. I mean days before the shipment.

To understand the scale of this, you have to look at the money. Gold is the lifeblood of the RSF; they control the mines in Darfur, mill the ore, & smuggle the metal out of Sudan. That’s where Kenya comes in as a major transit hub. Including Tanzania. In February 2025, Nairobi even hosted RSF political meetings, & Kenyan President William Ruto was spotted personally chauffeuring Chivayo around recently. Ruto himself has faced heavy accusations of holding personal & commercial ties to the RSF, mostly tied to gold smuggling. To add fuel to the fire, in June 2025, the Sudanese government claimed they discovered Kenyan-labelled weapons and ammunition hidden in RSF caches across Khartoum and Omdurman.
Chivayo simply knew too much. It's telling that he wasn't around to see General Phiri's arrest. Did the heat finally get to him? Did US intelligence catch up with him? Or did his handlers realize the net was closing in, choosing to eliminate him & his wife—who was by his side through it all—to erase their own ties to international terrorism?

What happened right after Chivayo’s helicopter crashed tells you everything you need to know. Within minutes, the army swarmed his mansion & completely locked it down. Nobody was allowed inside. Not family, not friends—absolutely no one.

Neighbours made complaints about mysterious digging in Chivayo’s garden. The excavation was so intense that tunnels began collapsing, causing cracks to ripple through the walls of neighbouring homes. Chivayo was hoarding billions in gold, diamonds, & cash on that property because the people he associated with couldn't—or wouldn't—use banks. Tanzania president even offered to send mercenaries to help secure the house.

The sanctioned Dagalo family, who fund the RSF, have deep ties here. RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo has held meetings with the exact same presidents we used to see Chivayo rubbing shoulders with. Including Rhamaposa who enjoyed an exclusive meeting with him.

Ultimately, Chivayo wanted to play with the big boys, but his pathological need to show off was his downfall. He ended up in a black bin bag. He was a careles operator who facilitated the funding of terrorism, smuggled gold, & laundered money, all while bleeding taxpayers dry to fund his lavish lifestyle.

As for what happens next, we’ll have to watch General Phiri’s case unfold.

Finished reading the 40-page verdict (took me two days), along with Etihad Airways’ statement.

The strongest line in Etihad’s statement is that the Premier League never contacted them or gave them a chance to put their side across.

That ties straight into the commission’s own admissions: witnesses who could have given evidence weren’t called (p.6, para 24), and some third-party documents had no witness willing or able to explain them (p.7, para 26).

It also strengthens the appeal on the “sham” point. A sham normally requires both parties to intend to mislead. If the sponsor was never heard, City will rightly ask how the panel established the sponsor's intent at all (p.30, para 110).

And the statement shows the scale of reputational fallout for a party the decision doesn't even name.

That piles more pressure on the Premier League over how it chose to publicise these findings.

[David Yelland @davidyelland]

In a crisis I’ve often advised people to a) Not read the papers, but b) Save them to read in the future, as the can quickly become totally hilarious.

This is the advice I’ve been giving to Blues big and small today. Sadly I have had to read them for professional reasons but a few pots of tea have got me through it. @ManCity

THIS MUST STOP. I have spent decades in uniform defending a Zimbabwe I believed in. I have watched governments rise and I have watched them rot.

I have held my tongue when discretion demanded it. I am holding it no longer.
What is being done to my comrade, retired Air Marshal Henry Muchena, is a disgrace that strikes at the very soul of this republic.

For days now, State security officers have pursued him and his wife wherever they go.

Visual evidence of this surveillance has been released to the media.

A retired senior military officer a man who served this nation with honour is being hounded like a common criminal, together with his wife, for the simple act of expressing a political opinion.

Let us be clear about what happened. Air Marshal Muchena, together with a group of Retired Generals and former senior civil servants, met with President Emmerson Mnangagwa to express our principled opposition to Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 the so-called CAB3. We went in good faith. We spoke as men who have served this State, who have bled for it, who have built the very institutions now being turned against us.

The President abruptly ended that meeting with the words: "Whoever wins, let them win."

We took those words for what they were a dismissal, not of us as individuals, but of the constitutional order we fought to establish.

What we did not anticipate was that the State security machinery we helped create would be deployed to harass and intimidate a retired Air Marshal and his family for daring to disagree.

This is not governance. This is political persecution dressed in the uniform of State security.

The irony is almost too painful to articulate. As a young boy, Henry Muchena went to war to help liberate this country.

He returned home and helped build the military establishment that is now being used to hound him and his wife.

He fought to free Zimbabwe, only to find himself being persecuted by the very State he helped create.

If a whole General can be hunted like this surveilled, followed, intimidated in his own country what of an ordinary citizen?

What of the teacher in Murewa, the vendor in Mbare, the student in Mutare who dares to raise a voice?

Disagreeing with a constitutional amendment is not a crime. It is the essence of democratic citizenship.

CAB3 seeks to extend presidential terms, abolish direct elections, and dismantle the safeguards our Constitution painstakingly built to prevent exactly the kind of executive overreach we are now witnessing.

The Constitution's Section 328 was designed as a poison pill against self-serving amendments a protection the framers knew would one day be tested by men who confuse the State with themselves.

The use of State security institutions to silence opposition voices is an abuse of power that no soldier of conscience can watch in silence.

We did not liberate this country so that its security apparatus could become a private enforcement unit for political intimidation.

We did not build an army, an air force, and an intelligence service so they could be turned on retired comrades and their wives for holding an opinion.

To the young officers in our security services today, I say this you swore an oath to the Constitution, not to a man.

You serve the Republic of Zimbabwe, not a political faction.

When you are ordered to surveil a retired general who fought for your freedom to wear that uniform, you are being asked to betray the very purpose of your service.

Think carefully about the orders you follow. History has a long memory, and so do the people of Zimbabwe.

To President Mnangagwa, I say this Whoever wins, let them win is not a constitutional principle.

It is not a governing philosophy. It is the language of a man who has forgotten that power in a republic is borrowed, not owned.
