This beef between @FabrizioRomano and @Plettigoal reminds me of the time during covid when I informed my neighbour that the local shop had toilet roll back in stock.
He went to the shop only to find it had sold out. He came back and accused me of spreading ‘fake news’ about toilet roll availability in the local area.
I was devastated. It took me a full week to get over it.
It’s no secret I have a close relationship with Zimbabwe, so I’m always routing for them as a country, for the people, for their cricket.
That said, with the World Cup coming up next year I’d encourage people to look at Victoria Falls as a destination to visit and watch games, even if it’s not your team, you won’t be disappointed, I promise you that!
Cape Town is the obvious choice for hot spot right now, but I have a feeling after the WC supporters will say Vic Falls was their favorite. Don’t miss out. You’re welcome 👊
A lot of people have been asking me why I hardly attend the matches at HSC. The reason is that due to my continued hearing loss, it is virtually impossible for me to hear what is going on around me. Weather I’m in the media centre, the Centurion, the grass embankment, or corporate boxes. It is simply too loud. Today I will enjoy ribs on the fire, and support the Chevrons. @ZimCricketv

The Zimbabwe African Peoples Union (ZAPU) has formally notified police of its intention to hold a public gathering in Harare on July 31, in opposition to the recently enacted Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No. 3) Act.
In a letter dated July 24 and addressed to the Officer Commanding at Harare Central Police Station, ZAPU’s Southern Region office gave notice under Section 7(1) of the Maintenance of Peace and Order Act (MOPA) of a planned demonstration at Africa Unity Square in Harare’s central business district.
The gathering is scheduled to run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The letter names ZAPU Secretary General Mthulisi Hanana as convener and ZAPU Vice President Derek Katsenga as deputy convener, as required under MOPA’s disclosure provisions.
According to the notice, ZAPU’s objection centers on process and substance. The party argues the amendment should have first been put to a national referendum under Section 328 of the Constitution, and contends the changes undermine rights guaranteed under Section 67, which enshrines political rights.
The amendment, commonly referred to as CAB3, was signed into law by President Emmerson Mnangagwa on July 7 after clearing the National Assembly and Senate in June.
It replaces the direct popular election of the president with election by a joint sitting of Parliament and extends the terms of the president, Parliament, and local authorities from five to seven years.
The law has drawn sustained criticism from opposition figures, legal watchdogs, and rights groups since it was first introduced in February. The legislative monitor Veritas has argued that extending the presidential term should trigger the referendum requirement under Section 328 of the Constitution.
ZAPU’s own president, Sibangilizwe Nkomo, has urged Zimbabweans to oppose CAB3, framing it as a betrayal of the liberation-era principle of “one man, one vote.”
Whether authorities will permit the gathering to proceed remains an open question. Zimbabwean police have a documented history of blocking opposition demonstrations against CAB3 while allowing pro-amendment rallies to continue, a disparity opposition parties raised as early as April.
