This amount is enough to build a 100 bed district hospital that can serve 10 rural wards. This type of looting to sustain sexual appetite being done by ED's children is called CLITOCRACY!

🔸One of the things that pains me most about the Kariba Ferry disaster is that most of the people on the boat were travelling to rural Kariba, carrying goods for resale in their small businesses. A great number of them were women. Who doesn’t know that all too familiar story of a mother carrying a baby on her back with another in hand going off to buy and sell goods to feed her family? It’s unsurprising that it’s reported that one of the victims of the tragedy was recovered with a baby on her back.

This is a community that never asked for handouts or government grants. All they needed was a functional public transport system so that they could work and feed their families yet the Govt failed them.

They hate poor people.

We need new leaders.🇿🇼

🔸92 dead and counting. So how many people had boarded the boat? If we cannot declare a period of national mourning here, when will we ever do so? The elites are too detached, too cosy in their mansions, too snug in their Range Rovers and too selfish to comprehend the enormity of the tragedy that has befallen the Kariba community. It’s a mess.

We need new leaders.🇿🇼

After the loss of 84 Zimbabwean souls in such a tragic accident I do not understand why a time of national mourning has not been declared and why flags are not being flown at half mast in respect of these poor people and the families they leave behind.

This boat is the truest reflection of Zimbabwe today.
Most public services are at the brink of collapse.

The state of this boat is the state of our hospitals,
State of our roads - especially in Matebeleland,
Vic Falls road, Nkayi road, Gwanda - Maphisa road, Byo - Maphisa road, etc.

Our country is in the hands of heartless criminals.
We need a revolution.

🔸Good day Honourable Minister @MhonaFelix,

Why is this government-run ramshackle ferry allowed to transport people when it’s clearly not fit for use? Why was it overloaded? How do you feel when state resources are used to buy political elites like yourselves state of the art Range Rovers and Ford Raptors yet the ordinary person uses this death trap for transport? Has this Govt got no shame?

We need new leaders.🇿🇼

"Iwe Wosvora! Zimbabwe is rising! World Class! Vision2030! " Let's hear the slogans guys. When we tell you about the neglect we are unpatriotic. LET'S HEAR THE SLOGANS!!!!!

When a peaceful citizen becomes the nation's biggest threat,then the idea of a nation is long gone.

[Freeman @freemanchari]

This is what frustrates me about Zimbabwe's work ethic. It took a whole army 2 yrs to build a simple classroom block. Something we generally do in 30 days. Nobody feels ashamed about it. A whole army!!!!!

Today we remember those who were killed by ZANU PF on the 1st of August 2018 in Harare CBD. Tine ronda neshungu pamoyo.💔💔

It is a national scandal that the Office of the President and Cabinet has spent more this year than the entire Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education.

We have hundreds of thousands of children out of school because BEAM hasn’t been funded adequately. When children are out of school for even one term their entire education is seriously compromised.

There’s simply no excuse for this no matter how the Ministry of Finance seeks to spin this.

[Gift Ostallos Siziba @Cde_Ostallos]

No it doesn’t make you a bad person mkoma. In a democracy you have every right to support CAB3 just as others have the right to oppose it. The concern is that while you are free to express your support, your ‘friends’ denied others that same freedom by criminalising, arresting & intimidating those who simply said No to CAB3. I believe the democracy in our constitution should not be tested by how we treat those like you who agreed with bill, but by how we protect the rights of those who disagreed with the bill.

This man is Bhekimpilo Mbedzi, who is currently in prison in Zimbabwe for nothing more than expressing his intention to protest against a new constitutional amendment that extends President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term of office and removes Zimbabweans’ right to directly elect their President. He did not commit an act of violence. He simply exercised his right to speak out and insisted that the Constitution be followed.

The law he opposed was not subjected to a referendum, despite fundamentally altering Zimbabwe’s constitutional order. For that, he was arrested, detained and denied bail.

Today, he appeared in court wearing leg irons that have visibly swollen his ankles. Shackling a peaceful political activist in this manner is not the conduct of a government confident in its own legitimacy. It is the conduct of a government that fears dissent and seeks to intimidate those who demand constitutionalism and accountability.

This is one of the reasons why so many young Zimbabweans have lost faith in the current political establishment. When peaceful disagreement is criminalised and citizens are imprisoned simply for insisting that the State obey its own Constitution, hope in democratic institutions inevitably erodes.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s final legacy should have been one of national unity, constitutionalism and reconciliation. Instead, images such as these tell a very different story. Repression has never extinguished resistance to illegality; it has only strengthened it, drawing greater attention to the very issues the authorities seek to silence.

Bhekimpilo Mbedzi is not an enemy of Zimbabwe. He is a citizen asking his government to abide by its own Constitution. He has not advocated violence or taken up arms against the State. He should be released immediately and allowed to exercise the constitutional rights guaranteed to every Zimbabwean.

Bhekimpilo Mbedzi who is the Matabeleland South provincial chairperson of the National Democratic Working Group (NDWG), is not a criminal.

He should not be in leg irons, and he should not be in prison simply for peacefully expressing his intention to protest and insisting that the State abides by its own Constitution. In any society that respects the rule of law, such conduct is protected, not punished.

We, the people, are calling for #FairPlay in Zimbabwe! 🇿🇼 We raise the Yellow Card to insist on respect for our nation’s rulebook, the Constitution, by everyone. 🫵🙏🤳🟨🙌👊

[Doug Coltart ⚖️🇿🇼 @DougColtart]

Hon. Brian James (MP for Mutare Central) put up a valiant fight in Parliament against #CAA3 and the mutilation of our Constitution.

Now, together with his wonderful wife Lynne, he’s continuing the fight in another arena, through nonviolent action — raising the Yellow Card to demand #FairPlay!

#HeroesOfTheStruggle 👏🙌👊🔥🤳🟨

[Dhara Blessed Mhlanga @bbmhlanga]

All this while He knew he had no desire to step down, explains why I have been targeted by @edmnangagwa's government. Why I was arrested over a press conference I did not even attend and kept in pre-trial detention for 73 days. I am just a journalist nothing more.

[Doug Coltart ⚖️🇿🇼 @DougColtart]

Zimbabwe has a rule book. It’s called the Constitution. We, the people, demand fair play. That means abiding by the rules we all agreed to: submitting #CAA3 to a referendum, as required by the law.

This Sunday, during the World Cup final, raise a YELLOW CARD to demand #FairPlay in Zimbabwe! 🇿🇼🤳💛
