The proposed compensation to former LS Farmers may not sit well with others. There is an argument that it shld not even be discussed or the that it should be paid to farm workers. Debate is the essence of policymaking. Here are our thoughts on the issue https://t.co/09Wl8L4ja3
Farmers know. They have been abused before. Here👇 they are asking very important questions. My take away is that the time to abuse/confuse/steal from farmers is coming to an end. They will devise and fund their own production. They will find ways of marketing their goods…
ZANU PF MP Tendai Nyabani bluntly told John Mangudya that many farmers were shortchanged by his currency changes when he was the Governor of Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ). Mangudya is famed for introducing bond notes.

We've mastered dissecting #Africa's problems. Now, we must master daydreaming about the solutions.
@tmurisa calls for a shift from critique to creation. The challenge isn't just analysis, it's vision.
Our task: to daydream and deliver prosperity.

It’s rare to finish a 2hr episode feeling satisfied that the interviewers asked every question I wanted to ask and pushed back every time I would have. Well done to @baba_nyenyedzi@rufarogz on a captivating episode.

We assumed that transparency alone would drive delivery.
But as @tmurisa reminds us, some promises collapse under the weight of empty coffers and structural limits. Watch our latest episode to explore how accountability evolves in Africa’s democracies.

At some point, someone at Zimbabwe Cricket is going to have to put their hand up and take responsibility for what has become a national embarrassment on the field of play.
Do we blame the players?
Players don't train and select themselves
Do we blame the coach?
But who appointed him?
Do we blame the selectors?
Who put them in place?
All I'm hearing is blame pushing and shifting, and nothing that speaks into how we get ourselves out of this rut.
Ultimately, the buck stops at the top.
