A falsehood remains a falsehood regardless of widespread belief, while the truth persists irrespective of its lack of acceptance.

I believe in the liberation war fighters and in the methods they used. My country also honours them and has set aside a day to celebrate their sacrifice. One of the methods I support is the way they dealt with traitors. No structure can fully insulate itself from betrayal, and no ideology can prevent traitors from emerging. Traitors are criminals driven by selfish motives. No one can deal effectively with cutthroats without using the decisive methods employed by the liberation war fighters. In the end, the goal must be to make betrayal a bad bargain. We are not your meal ticket.

Lets organize , build, and institutionalise organic movements that will be able to fight back injustice in our society.

The moment a political leader becomes incapable of being criticised, you are no longer looking at healthy politics.

[Hopewell Chin’ono @daddyhope]

It is not news that the ZANUPF-controlled police have stopped an opposition rally. The real news, and the real crisis, is that, we have failed to build a broad-based, disciplined and well-organised opposition movement capable of mobilising citizens, defending democratic space and confronting this abuse.

Asking me to comment every time the ZANUPF-controlled police stop a rally is like asking me to comment on a lion seeing a zebra, chasing it and having a meal. The predator has behaved exactly as expected.

Condemnation without organisation eventually becomes a meaningless ritual. Ours is not merely to mourn; ours is to organise, mobilise, build institutions and fight back politically.

If we are still shocked by tactics that ZANUPF has used since 1980, then we have wasted 46 years. We have repeated the same cycle of a rally being banned, statements are issued, social media erupts, and then everyone moves on until the next rally is stopped.

That means we have learnt nothing and built nothing capable of changing the situation.

ZANUPF repression is predictable. The question is no longer what the ZANUPF-controlled police have done. The real question is: what have we organised and built to confront it? Is it based on a broad movement or a personality cult?

Personality cults don’t make repressive regimes lose sleep, movements are a headache because you can’t control it, you can’t buy everyone. The choice is ours to make!

Good morning Dhara, people might be blaming his timing... like who the fuck cares about a Chapwati meeting after CAB3 when he was mute when there were clear matters of national convergence?

To me that's some useless meeting for theatrics or selfish agendas... nothing national

I have spent the end of this week conducting an arbitration in Harare which took me to the north of Harare again - Highlands, Borrowdale etc.

It was a stark reminder that Zimbabwe has become a tale of two economies. The first economy is that of Harare north where all the major roads (not just the arterial roads but the cross roads as well) are in tip top condition and the profusion of mind boggling mansions and Rolls Royce motor vehicles is staggering. It is the economy of Toyota Landcruisers being gifted with tens of thousands of US$ cash “spending money”. It is the economy of musicians being paid a million dollars to sing at a birthday party. It is the economy of young connected women in their 20s owning properties worth millions of dollars from unexplained sources of wealth. It is the economy of connected people being paid millions of dollars of taxpayers money for contracts which remain unfulfilled.

Then there is the other economy. It is the economy of hundreds of thousands of children out of school. It is the economy of government schools literally collapsing before our very eyes. It is the economy of hospitals without basic medications. It is the economy of 97 poor Zimbabweans dying on a ferry which needed repairs costing the equivalent of one Toyota Fortuna to become seaworthy. It is the economy of those 97 families being paid $100 each as compensation for their irreparable loss. It is the economy of major roads collapsing totally , allegedly being rehabilitated by the very same people who are building mansions in Harare north and driving on their pristine roads in Rolls Royces.

Something is very seriously wrong with our body politic.

@TheMirrorMsv Charging people for parking spaces that were built by Smith is crazy business 🤣

[Onias Mutonono @oniasmutonono]

@NgamlaBrabiza @nelsonchamisa The issue is not about Chamisa as an individual, it's about what was put in his trust at the time Tsvangirai left us. He became a representation of the continuation of a struggle of those who had invested everything in Tsvangirai.

[Onias Mutonono @oniasmutonono]

@NgamlaBrabiza @nelsonchamisa What you seem to forget is that Chamisa got support by walking under the shadow of Tsvangirai and those who worked towards Zimbabwe having a vibrant opposition. There is no viable alternative Chamisa could have formulated when Tsvangirai and his MDC weren't still around.
