As we await the reconvening of Parliament, this is not the time for distraction, fragmentation or personality contests. It is the time for focus, discipline and coordination.
Across civil society, churches, legal actors and political formations, a constitutional consensus is steadily emerging.
Zimbabwe’s future will not be secured by individuals acting alone, but by disciplined collective action anchored in constitutionalism.
#DefendTheConstitution
The threats by ZANU PF mafia on our lives is obviously serious . Faced with the backlash against Constitutional Amendement No 3 , ZANU can only revert to what it knows best which is violence and murder .
We have walked this road before and lost thousands of friends and comrades .
But we have never been cowards , we have have never yielded on matters of principle .
The Constitutional Bill is a heinous attack on our freedoms on our dignity on our sovereignty.
We will therefore resist it with every ounce of our energy .
We will DEFEND the 2013 constitution and if it means we will lose our lives in the process then let it be .
There are a lot of unelected people proposing far-reaching changes to our constitution. Ziyambi Ziyambi was not elected by anyone. In fact, the people of Zvimba, where he stood for election, rejected him twice. That's double rejection, some emphatic rejection by one's people, isn't it?
Sengezo Tshabangu, whom ED used to recall elected MPs, was not elected by anyone, was he?
Then we all know, ED was imposed on Zimbabwe by a military coup in 2017. He wasn't elected by anyone, was he?
In fact, the two times he attempted to subject himself to an election, he was thoroughly walloped in 2018 and 2023.
The SADC Election Observation Mission (SEOM) registered disquiet over the manner elections ED claims to have won were conducted. In light of data we have, ED has been in office by virtue of manipulation, not election.
So cut us the crap about election.
The President who chaired the cabinet which authorised the unconstitutional changes to our constitution has legitimacy questions hanging over his head.
The minister who brought the changes was rejected at the polls and the original author of those mischievous changes is hiding in a hole somewhere in Nairobi, running away from the very system he wants entrenched through the constitutional changes.
The fact that all the people behind the change to our constitution are unelected and unelectable explains why they're delirious whenever a referendum is mentioned.
This is utterly disgusting.
As South Africa we must be aware that the longer there is a brutal dictatorship in Zimbabwe, the longer we will not be able to deal with the immigration crisis in South Africa.
We pay the price for the sins of Zanu PF, we pay in healthcare costs, policing costs and in social tensions.
We did not choose this, unfortunately the ANC has forced us to pay this hefty multi generational bill by giving family status to one of the worst political parties in Africa. We cannot be “forever yena” with Zanu PF.
South Africa should cut all ties with Zanu PF. We can’t endorse forever presidents and family dynasties. Be it Museveni, Mugabe or Mnangagwa.
They are all the same version of unscrupulous tyrants decimating Africa. “iAfrica mayibuye” was not a call for some families to rule in perpetuity. It was for inclusive and fair democratic forms of self determination.
If Zanu PF falls many of the undocumented immigrants will go back to Zimbabwe. If Frelimo falls many of the undocumented immigrants will go back to Mozambique.
We must not encourage or endorse any actions which worsen democracy in SADC and in Africa. Especially when we will pay the price.
Of puppets and the objective facts
Whenever we disagree with ZANU PF, we are quickly labeled “puppets of the West.” By “we” I mean ordinary citizens. That accusation is projection. Here are the facts.
ZANU PF are the worst kind of puppets, alternately British and Chinese, and they understand how to use that dependence to their advantage.
1980: ZANU took power with British
assistance.
Mid-1980s: Gukurahundi was carried out with active British involvement.
Turn of the millennium: A British miscalculation on land policy gave ZANU a new lease of life and helped justify its repression.
2008: After a humiliating electoral showing, ZANU remained in power because Western actors failed to follow through on pressure. They never walk the talk when their puppet is in real trouble.
2017: Few will forget the role played by Catriona Laing.
2018: Another disputed election but rigging was used as a coup proofing method with local lapdogs providing false legitimacy.
2023: Once more, they looked the other way while much of Africa said tsvina iyi hatibati.
On China, ZANU is equally servile; willing to let extractive interests operate with reckless disregard, to the point of desecrating even national memory in the hunt for resources. Its grotesque. Fortunately Mbuya Nehanda’s remains do not lie over lithium deposits.
ZANU PF opens its legs to the West, East and thank God there is no North; as long as this secures its hold on power. Those are the real puppets and they rely on propaganda to mask the fact.
🔸Imi nguri makangobvira kuisa bucket seat nekurenovator madressing room zvisingaperi. Ava vakaita izvi in 15 months. Apo vane akawanda. They mine phosphates. We mine gold, lithium, diamond, platinum, chrome zvese. The difference is leadership.
We don’t want luxury cars for a few. We want world-class infrastructure and a nation that works for everyone.
We need new leaders.🇿🇼
"In 2018, when the Finance Minister assumed office, poverty levels in Zimbabwe were 29% of the population in extreme poverty. Today, in 2025, 49% of the population is in extreme poverty. If the economy was working, how do you relate a poverty level hitting 49%," says Prof. Gift Mugano.
📈 49% of Zimbabwe’s population lives in extreme poverty, while 87% of the adult population is in the informal sector.
Watch this insightful episode of the Budget Review, where @baba_nyenyedzi and @dziya_mya are joined by Prof. @gift_mugano to break down the economy's numbers.

It’s an emphatic NO to constitutional mutilation.
It’s an emphatic NO to 2030.
It’s an emphatic NO to fraudulent conduct.
If I can’t fix this, I’ll at least tell everyone about it.
The desperate attempt to create a phantom court application riding on the back of genuine bona fide Applicants is the latest chapter in the copy book of Agenda 2030 Shanenigans .
To date they have used violence , fear , capture and coercion to drive this process.
They have spent millions compromising individuals and institutions.
They have used vehicles and other resources to entrap would be opponents.
They have created ghost accounts on social media to push this false agenda .
Zimbabwe is not buying into this.
The attempt to mutilate the Constitution represents the biggest existential threat to the Republic.
The Defence of the Constitution is therefore the ultimate Defence of our dignity . Of our sovereignty.
Everything else and anything else starts and ends with constitutionalism and the rule of law.
Any contrary position is a betrayal to the values of the liberation struggles
A betrayal to our own democratic DNA.
We therefore condemn these latest fraudulent attempts to manipulate processes by creating ghost litigation .
We remain vigilant and alert .
Remember when they said women make good leaders?
Truth is good leaders are simply good leaders, either men or women
And bad leaders are also simply bad leaders, either men or women
This Parliament & the judiciary CAN NOT be an independent arbiter in the matter concerning the ED2030 project. It's compromised. It's only us the people who can determine the issue!
These are not security personnel. The majority of them are known ZANU PF goons. @PoliceZimbabwe, why are you working with thugs if you want to enforce the law?
The press conference must continue at the same venue, same time. They must not clear the rubbles, just bring new chairs & a table or better yet address the media while standing. Defiance must start now.
