We are an anti-sanctions civil society organization fighting US, EU and UK sanctions upon Zimbabwe, by depoliticizing and legalizing the fight.

@ProfJNMoyo @enkudheni @DavidColtart Prof ZANU PF itself states in its own Bill that it seeks to extend the current term of the President and Parliament from 5yrs to 7yrs. Why seek legal mechanism to extend unlimited term? Because according to section 95(2)(b) and 143 both terms are limited 5yrs.

@matigary @amavuru @grok @hwendec @djsbu Got it my brother.

[ZASM @ZASMorg]

@matigary @amavuru @grok @hwendec @djsbu Thank you.

Do PHDs not get awarded on publishing new knowledge and releasing in journals and having it peer reviewed too? What is the difference between this process and the one for professor?

[ZASM @ZASMorg]

@amavuru @grok @matigary @hwendec @djsbu I said holding a PHD and lecturing in university.

What qualifies you to be called a professor? What is the criteria?

[ZASM @ZASMorg]

@matigary @hwendec @djsbu What is right, please educate.

@Jamwanda2 To just crush lithium or other minerals and then wash them or purify them with sulphuric acid and then calling it processing, is just accepting a modern form of exporting raw minerals.

We're happy to hear that Arcadia Mining has opened a Lithium Sulphate plant in Zimbabwe, but the question we need to ask is: who owns Arcadia? We understand that Arcadia was owned by Prospect Lithium Zimbabwe, a subsidiary of Prospect Resources, an Australian company, which sold 87% interest in the lithium company to Huayou (Zhiegang Huayou Cobalt), a Chinese company.

So, is there any Zimbabwean ownership in this Lithium Sulphate mine and plant, to leave dividends in the hands of Zimbabweans? And does the Lithium Sulphate get turned into finished products, or is it just being roasted and purified by sulfuric acid (creating toxic pollutants) and then exported to power factories in China?

This is important because we can't have extraction of ore, removal of rocks and by-products, and concentration of minerals without producing finished products, with profits being externalized, being pushed as beneficiation or industrialization, because it’s not. It's just a processing plant to make sure foreigners export pure lithium without rocks, ore, and impurities, and externalize profits without banking in our banks.

This leads to depletion of our minerals, pollution of the environment by toxic chemicals, exploitation of Zimbabweans as cheap labor, no real industry development, and no skills transfer to turn us into an industrial powerhouse.

We need to ask these questions while foreign companies are still starting their so-called processing plants, especially knowing they'll be using toxic chemicals like sulfuric acid and mercury, which may end up in our river systems that our rural populations depend on.

In places like Zambia, such toxic chemicals have ended up in rivers, killing livestock and destroying rural livelihoods, so we need to learn from this and adapt accordingly.

@KMutisi @ProfJNMoyo If the amendment strategy of amending the constitution is coming from a poisoned chalice and an agent of the enemy (Jonathan Moyo), would it be wise to take that strategy if the same western powers will use it to delegitimise the President, push demostrations and do a Maduro?

[ZASM @ZASMorg]

@Jamwanda2 @KMarazanye Interesting that there seems to be collaboration between African countries on this resource issue. Very encouraging.

We need more unity of action between Africans.

@matigary @hwendec @djsbu Hold on, what is a professor? A PHD holder who lectures at the highest level of a university or tertiary institution. Yes no? There is not qualification for professorship but lecturing students in tertiary. Am I wrong or right?

This is an animated sequence of how 60 000 soldiers were defeated by 8000 M23 rebels in the 2025 Goma offensive after they attacked M23 with the intention of proceeding to invade Rwanda to overthrow the government of Rwanda.

The reason 60 000 soldiers lost to 8000 M23 is they didn’t realize that M23 was being reinforced and supplied by over 10 million Kinyarwandan Congolese citizens and not Rwanda. This battle will go down in history as one of the greatest military defeats by a smaller force. Watch the entire story on You Tube https://t.co/btpF0QKfQz

@DavidColtart @CityofBulawayo According to our tradition, Bulawayo is known as Nyika ye Ruwomo a curse placed upon it because of the name kwaBulawayo (the place of killing), the murder of Chaminuka, our mediums, murder of our people and theft of cattle. The city needs cleansing otherwise it will struggle.

[ZASM @ZASMorg]

@Busa00 @matinyarare To challenge people to fix their homes and by so doing their cities. We must continue to challenge each other to do better and we must denounce negligence.

[ZASM @ZASMorg]

@alexmhembere @matinyarare You never fix a nation by being afraid to offer constructive criticism. In fact, nation’a inability to speak publicly about disgraceful situations is the reason why a city can rot to this level. There is nothing sensitive about addressing dereliction.

[ZASM @ZASMorg]

@nessydeo @matinyarare Ironically, that city and all cities in Zimbabwe are run by the opposition which is loved by SABC for the past 23 years. And those cities were world renowned under ZANU PF.

The same opposition also called on the sanctions that have destroyed these same cities.

@Pablo_mzansi @matinyarare When you complain, trust me we understand.

[ZASM @ZASMorg]

@oqotho @matinyarare That’s a failure to take responsibility man. Why do you elect municipalities and councillors if you are going to blame everything on Harare?

When do you take responsibility for your failures?
