Some of our members were in Aberdeen leafleting ahead of the upcoming election - not endorsing any candidate, but encouraging voters to support those who understand what a woman is, who will implement the Supreme Court ruling, and who will protect single-sex spaces. Women’s rights matter - for fairness, opportunity, and safety. Our voices must be heard 💚🤍💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #RespectMySexIfYouWantMyX

@edmnangagwa An Evil man speaks.

Pleased to host my brother, HE President Duma Boko, for the 5th Zimbabwe-Botswana BNC. 🇿🇼🇧🇼 We are one family with a shared heritage. To deepen our ties, I propose a phased use of IDs instead of passports to ease the movement of our people and goods. #ZimBotswanaBNC #SADC

If you've read what I've just written, you'd understand that the trans woman in question shows obvious physical signs of not having been born female because, you know, I literally said that. I don't believe there's such a thing as 'gender' in the way trans activists use it, ie, as an inner male or female essence that is independent of the sexed body, so it's a matter of total indifference to me what an individual trans person looks like or how well they pass. They're free to identify however they like, whatever they look like. The clash of rights starts when they demand my compelled speech and that I, the law and the whole of society agrees they're a member of the opposite sex.

Yes, the people who call themselves 'trans' exist and they deserve exactly the same rights as everyone else, which, fortunately, they already have in the UK. It would rightly be considered discrimination if a person was refused employment, housing or the vote because they identified as trans. 'Trans women are women' is a thought-terminating cliché. Men are not women. That doesn't mean they're not allowed to present themselves however they like, call themselves whatever they like and believe whatever they like about themselves. It means they haven't changed sex. If we replace the objective, observable characteristic of sex with the unfalsifiable concept of gender identify, women and girls lose, among other things, their right to fair and safe sport and women-only spaces, including changing rooms, prison cells and rape crisis services. Women and girls are provably more vulnerable to forms of abuse including sexual assault, harassment and voyeurism in mixed-sex spaces. There is no evidence that trans-identified men don't have exactly the same rates of criminal offending as all other men. Trans people exist. I have no desire for them not to exist; indeed, I wish them safety, happiness and health. However, 'existence' does not, and should not, mean the violation of other people's right to privacy, dignity and freedom of speech, or the reconfiguration of society to indulge a fallacy.

Do you agree with Professor Robert Winston? Yes or No? 👇

I am grateful to all the Lawyers’ organizations from across the world who have condemned the attack on my son @DougColtart . It is time the rule of law prevailed in #Zimbabwe and time the Police did their job to bring the known culprits of these crimes, and those responsible for the crimes committed against other lawyers, such as Professor Madhuku, and activists, are brought to book.

One day, people will look back with horror on the women who supported this without ever waking up. When teen girls are banding together to get boys out of their locker rooms and bathrooms, you know adults have failed.

Chief Mapungwana, the chair of the Manicaland provincial Chiefs Council died at the United Bulawayo Hospitals today where he was receiving treatment after he collapsed suddenly during Independence Day celebrations in Maphisa. He also sat in the Senate

@SajeniMapuranga We are in deep shyte. But I have no dog in the fight between Mnangagwa and Chiwenga. Ngavaurayane faster faster. Zimbabwe will be a better place minus them.

The searches at Chiwenga's wife's residence and Mpofu's farm fishing for evidence the framing operations failed to manufacture.VP Chiwenga's Life Is In Immediate Danger I do not use those words lightly. I have never used them lightly. I use them today because they are the accurate description of the situation. Vice President Constantino Chiwenga's life is in immediate and escalating danger. The man arrested on suspicion of planning his assassination has been released by presidential order. His weapon has been returned. His funding has been returned. The eleven charges against him create a legal pressure that makes completing his mission more urgent rather than less. The institutional shield that briefly protected Chiwenga the ZRP officers who held firm, who charged Tizwa despite the pressure, who demonstrated that some part of Zimbabwe's constitutional order still functions has been overruled from the highest office in the land. I call on every person, every institution, every regional body, every international partner that has any influence over the safety of Zimbabwe's constitutional officeholders to treat this as the emergency it is. SADC @SADC_News must act. The African Union @_AfricanUnion must act. The Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission restored to quorum by the same President who just released an alleged assassin must act. The Zimbabwe Defence Forces whose former Commander is the target of this programme must act. And I call on every Zimbabwean who understands what is at stake to pray. Genuinely. Urgently. Because the man who came back from China in a suit when his enemies had ordered a coffin is facing the most dangerous moment of his survival yet. To Mnangagwa: History Is Recording This You have put your name on this. Not through a proxy. Not through deniable operational distance. You personally ordered Tizwa's release. You personally ordered the return of his weapon. You personally overruled the police officers who did their constitutional duty and charged him. Your fingerprints are on this operation now in a way that cannot be erased and cannot be denied. History is recording it. The institution is recording it. Every regional capital where this story is now being read is recording it. And God who is sovereign over this republic and who brought Chiwenga back from China when you thought you had finished him is recording it. The truck near Norton was empty. The charges against Tizwa are not. And neither is the accounting that is coming for every person in the chain of command that runs from Inkomo Barracks to Tagwirei's offices to Newlands to State House. We Pray For VP Chiwenga And General Sanyatwe I end today not with a military assessment but with a prayer. For Vice President Constantino Chiwenga may the God who kept him through 2019, who brought him back at midnight on a Chinese plane when his enemies had given up on finding him alive, who has protected him through every operation that has been launched against him continue to be his shield. For General Sanyatwe whose name appears alongside Gen Chiwenga's as a target of this programme may the same protection extend over him. For the Zimbabwe Republic Police officers who charged Tizwa despite knowing the pressure that would come may their courage be remembered and their safety be protected. Lt. Gen. Winston Sigauke Mapuranga (Rtd)

MNANGAGWA RELEASED HIS HITMAN. GAVE HIM BACK HIS GUN. ZIMBABWE MUST KNOW THIS. I will not waste a single word on preamble today.Emmerson Mnangagwa has released Major Albert Tizwa.The Military Intelligence Officer of the Presidential Guard arrested in Newlands on Independence Day, found in possession of an unregistered AK47 rifle and bags of money traceable to the offices of Kudakwashe Tagwirei has been released. On the personal order of the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe. And in a detail so obscene that I have read it three times to confirm I am not misunderstanding it: Mnangagwa ordered that Tizwa's money be returned to him. And his unregistered AK47 rifle be returned to him. The weapon. Back in his hands. The money. Back in his possession. The man. Back on the street. This is not a justice system malfunction. This is the President of Zimbabwe personally intervening to return a weapon and a war chest to a man his own police force arrested on suspicion of planning an assassination. What The Police Managed To Do I want to acknowledge publicly and without reservation the Zimbabwe Republic Police officers who, despite the pressure that descended on them from the moment of Tizwa's arrest, managed to do their constitutional duty.They charged him. Eleven charges. Five counts of assault. Six cases of kidnapping. These charges did not materialise from nowhere. They represent documented, evidenced, legally recorded criminal conduct by a serving Military Intelligence Officer of the Presidential Guard a man whose rank and operational profile tells you everything you need to know about who he was working for and what he was doing in Newlands that morning. Commissioner of Police Mutamba held firm when the pressure came. His officers charged Tizwa when every force in the political environment was pushing for his quiet release and disappearance. That courage deserves recognition. In Zimbabwe's current environment, doing your constitutional duty when the President himself wants you to do otherwise is not a small thing. And then the President overruled them. Eleven Charges. Presidential Pardon. Weapon Returned. Let me make sure every Zimbabwean reading this understands the precise sequence of events. A Military Intelligence Officer of the Presidential Guard was arrested carrying an unregistered AK47 a weapon he had absolutely no authorisation to possess at his rank and bags of money coming directly from the offices of Kudakwashe Tagwirei. He resisted arrest from the ZRP crack team.He was charged with eleven criminal offences five assaults, six kidnappings.Information available to credible sources with direct knowledge indicates he was on a mission to assassinate Vice President Chiwenga and General Sanyatwe. And the President of Zimbabwe personally ordered his release. Returned his money. Returned his gun. There is no innocent explanation for this sequence. There is no version of these facts in which a president ordering the return of an unregistered weapon to an arrested suspected assassin is consistent with the rule of law, the constitutional order, or the basic obligations of a head of state to the republic he governs. This is not a grey area. This is a president protecting his hitman. I Name It For What It Is I have been measured in previous writings. I have constructed arguments. I have built analytical frameworks. I have given the benefit of whatever doubt was available. No more. Emmerson Mnangagwa is running a state assassination programme against his own Vice President. That is not an allegation. It is a conclusion supported by the following documented, sequential, corroborated facts: The Norton truck designed to frame Chiwenga on arms charges. Found empty. The Inkomo Barracks operation weapons to be loaded, transported to Bulawayo, staged as a coup cache. Neutralised.

Independence means one man one vote. One vote on councillor One vote on MP One vote on Senator One vote on President. Our fundamental rights are being stripped and independence is now only for those top Zanupf officials. To the many war vets, we are sorry but your blood was only for 60 in Zanupf plus Zvigandaga. Not yet Uhuru. #Noto2030

It's weird that adult teachers and staff are hating on me on social media. Teachers always say that everyone has the right to their own beliefs. I believe that too. I also think that facts are facts. Boys can't simply choose to become girls and expect to take away our rights.

➡️ Smith was better.

On June 20, 2008, in Chiweshe, ZANU-PF militia came to the home of MDC councillor Gibbs Chironga and shot him. They dragged him, still bleeding but alive, to a rally. There, they forced him to stand before the crowd. An official asked a volunteer to get a gun and demonstrate to “all traitors how MDC dogs were treated.”   A party gunman then stepped forward and fired seven bullets into Chironga’s chest and head. He died instantly. ZANU-PF militia executed an every day Zimbabwean. Zanu-PF betrayed the soul of Zimbabwe’s independence struggle.
