@matinyarare I don’t think you can walk this back, the courts will decide if there’s need for a referendum or not.The president’s age is not new information and there won’t be any buy in either,people calling for a referendum do not have the numbers and they know it

𝗭𝗘𝗥𝗢 𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗨𝗠 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗞𝗦 𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗗 𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗖’𝗦 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗗 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞. As much as I understand and support the need to extend the election cycle to seven years, to break the perpetual electioneering and focus on nation-building, I believe that a constitutional amendment without a referendum comes with too many risks. These risks include raising divisions inside ZANU PF, resurrecting an opposition that was dead, raising chances of protests and conflict between the opposition and government, which raises the chance of destroying the current goodwill from the West and the threats of new sanctions. More critically, the older our President gets, the more vulnerable his leadership becomes to internal challenges and coups, as we saw with Mugabe. In my books, this constitutional amendment is too risky and threatens to undo the legacy being built by the Second Republic. So what are the options? Take the 2030 constitutional amendment to a referendum, to get buy-in and acceptance from the masses. Or ZANU PF must focus on presenting a successor with a strong pro-economic strategy to win the hearts and minds of the youth and urban voters, to beat Chamisa in 2028.

FROM ZEC TO RG There has been a lot of discussion regarding Zimbabwe's Constitution Amendment (No. 3) gazetted yesterday, specifically the clause transferring the responsibility for managing the voters' roll from the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) to the Registrar-General’s Office. While change often invites skepticism, this particular amendment is a move toward administrative efficiency and data integrity. Here is why this shift is not just necessary, but logical: 1. Eliminating Duplication of Effort The Registrar-General is the sole custodian of the Civil Registry database—the master record for every citizen’s identity and birth. Previously, ZEC had to request this data and then spend resources verifying and transferring it onto a separate voters' roll. By housing both functions under one roof, we eliminate redundant data entry and the bureaucratic lag time associated with inter-departmental cooperation. 2. Data Integrity and Accuracy The biggest threat to any election is a "ghost voter" or a duplicate entry. When the body that issues national IDs (Registrar-General) is also the body that maintains the voter roll, it creates a single source of truth. It becomes much easier to instantly update the roll when a citizen passes away or changes status, ensuring that only living, eligible voters remain on the registry. 3. Cost Efficiency for the Taxpayer Maintaining two parallel databases requires significant financial resources. By consolidating this mandate, the government can streamline technology costs and reduce the administrative budget, freeing up funds that can be better allocated to actual election-day logistics or civic education.

Read and understand my whole argument holistically without being emotional my brother. Then criticize the holistic argument answering the questions as to which Chinese investment is better than western investment and how? Show me one city that was a product of Chinese mining or investment in Africa and tell us the benefits we get from Chinese investment over western investment. If you show me numbers and evidence through a superior argument I will retract accordingly.

𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗘 𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗦𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝗪𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗡 𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗜𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗠 𝗜𝗙 𝗪𝗘 𝗗𝗢𝗡’𝗧 𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗕 𝗜𝗧. I have just read George Charamba’s exegesis on why China is supposedly better than America and the West — arguing that, unlike the West, which steals our minerals to store in their vaults, China has opened its markets duty-free to African goods. What worries me, however, is he does not mention that our government is aware that some individual Chinese companies in the country, are allegedly smuggling up to US$30 million EACH worth of gold every month out of Zimbabwe, after using a destructive process known as heap leaching, which is devastating our mountains. This gold is reportedly smuggled out of Zimbabwe through the Zambezi and into Zambia without paying tax or royalties. Even those few companies processing minerals locally are merely crushing rocks into powder, extracting the pure minerals, removing impurities, and exporting the refined material without manufacturing anything. Additionally, the companies servicing these Chinese operations — logistics, spare parts, repairs, and inputs — are also Chinese, and both extractor and servicer often have no local ownership. It is the same colonial blueprint; the only difference is that the Chinese loot faster and more crudely without leaving anything for locals than the Europeans. They pay our people less, depressing living standards, fail to transfer skills, and destroy local transport companies and service providers by awarding contracts exclusively to their own firms. At least European exploitation left behind many, if not all, of the cities we have in Zimbabwe today. South Africa’s Johannesburg, the East Rand, and Springs are mining cities that form one of the top ten conurbations in the world. They were left by Western gold mining and processing. Which world-class city have the Chinese built in Africa? More concerning is that most of their factories are clumsily cobbled makeshift corrugated sheet-metal shacks designed to extract and move once resource is gone. Unlike the permanent high-quality factories and economic hubs built by Anglo American, Unilever, Nestlé, and Lonrho that often became the centers of development for multi-nuclei business hubs or towns. Numerous towns in Zimbabwe, too, were built by Western mining companies, agricultural estates, and factories that developed infrastructure, raised living standards by paying better wages, and left enough excess in the economy to drive micro-economies into towns like Chiredzi, Chipinge, and Mazowe. However, this is something that Chinese firms have failed to do because they siphon all excess wealth out of the periphery back to China, as all high-paying technical jobs are done by Chinese nationals. Contracts to transport, repair machinery, or supply parts go only to Chinese service providers, leaving nothing to develop similar ecosystems like the Western colonizer left. This is why the Chinese have not built a single world-class town or city that mirrors what they have at home or like the colonizers did with Joburg, Harare, Middelburg, Rustenburg, or Hwange. The most troubling issue is that Chinese entities now dominate most mineral value chains across Africa. As a result, when we mine and process our own minerals — particularly under the “Look East” policy — we often have nowhere to sell those minerals except to Chinese resource brokers, who often pay peanuts after we eliminated competitive bids from the West. This is why it’s absurd for the President’s spokesperson to gaslight us by saying exporting a few agricultural products to China, while Chinese companies loot and deplete our non-renewable minerals, is somehow better than the West, which built entire towns and cities that created jobs and vibrant ecosystems. We will never achieve a better mutual relationship with China if we cannot honestly tell them that they are currently worse than the former colonizer who they helped us defeat.

Former Zimbabwe National Team midfielder Esrom Nyandoro, who played for AmaZulu in Zimbabwe and Mamelodi Sundowns in South Africa, says the Warriors lost to Bafana Bafana 3-2 last night in the Afcon group stages last match in Morocco, crashing out of the tournament at the bottom of the table, due to "stupid mistakes" and goals given on a silver platter.

Great initiative by #GreatmanMusic. RETWEET and help him reach as many people as possible! You know what, my people? A retweet costs you nothing. And when you see somebody who is disabled, like Great Man, pushing this initiative, it should shame us who are able-bodied that we are not able to assist those who are disabled. The least we can do is to RETWEET so that those who have the heart to help can actually support this cause. So I ask you again, please RETWEET this initiative that Great Man, who is disabled, has started to assist people like him who are disabled. It costs you nothing at all as a Zimbabwean or an African to simply RETWEET, or as any other nationality.

If the majority of Zimbabweans are clever, they will realise that the best thing that ever happened to ZANUPF is Nelson Chamisa. An opposition leader who runs in an election, is rigged, does nothing, waits for another election, is rigged again, says he has resigned, probably returns again in 2028 as an independent candidate, loses again—and the cycle continues. I do not think such enabling behaviour reflects a country with very clever people, where an opposition leader sits in silence while corruption is exposed, yet tweets about trains. A man who says nothing when the most corrosive law of our time, which bans civil society, is passed without him saying a word! Is that what we now call CLEVERNESS in Zimbabwe?🤣🤣🤣

For the sake of transparency, I would like to declare that my former professor from journalism school in England has deposited £2,000 (US$2480) for Garikai Gorejena into my UK account. She wishes to remain anonymous, and I am grateful for her assistance to Garikai. May the professor be blessed. Garikai now needs US$6,074. Let us push hard to assist this prodemocracy warrior by RETWEETING. If you can, donate what you can. Garikai can’t talk properly due to this illness. Let us continue to retweet the GoFundMe link;👇🏿 gofund.me/10827d86
