@RefilweSeboko @elonmusk I guess all SADC countries now use Starlink, most of them are behind SA in terms of development

With all due respect, you are a trillionaire. South Africa is a developing country with many challenges. I am not sure what more is expected from us at this point. Please focus on communities that are ready and willing to adopt Starlink. Many South Africans are currently prioritizing basic needs. Respectfully, let us be

Yes

@elonmusk Imagine @elonmusk shuts down or temporarily suspends X for South Africans 😅😅😅 they rush to Facebook begging… then Zuckerberg says “me too” 🤣🤣🤣

@nyebe_official @Musa160477 @SiphiweNodwele @PaulKagame But is there Nationality or tribe in DNA or blood just asking

@Musa160477 @SiphiweNodwele @PaulKagame We should discourage people diluting our DNA

Dear @PaulKagame, South Africa is not your enemy. The Government of the DRC is not your enemy. Whilst many so-called African Leaders won't admit it, the only individual that can bring an end to hostilities in the Eastern Congo is you, Sir. You are a product of the brutal genocide that occurred in 1994. You are also a product of the neighbourly accommodation of Uganda. You have been trained militarily by the United States. You agreed a deal with the UK Conservative government to take in illegal migrants that were undesirable by their standards. You have been a staunch defender of Pan-Africanism and a pillar of African unity. As a South African married to a Congolese woman, with my daughters having both Muluba and Xhosa heritage, I beg you Sir! Lead from the front and put an end to this merciless killing of our mothers and children. Don't let the future generations of our Great Continent be subjected to history lessons riddled with the perpetuation of brutal Black on Black violence, African on African war, and the desolation of the People of Ntu. Let our love for our People shine brighter than our love for the Arsenal. Yours in freedom, Siphiwe Nodwele

@BulawayoForever @LoveOne10193922 Exploitation and cheap labour you say

@LoveOne10193922 The same south africa that's feeds Zimbabweans through minor jobs

I don't care what you say, South Africa to us as SADC is what USA is to Europe , an attack on SA is an attack on us all. Let Kagame try, Rwanda will be done in a few.

@se_fola @goolamv @CyrilRamaphosa @DavidMogashoa Rwanda economy won't go down😅 because of what?

@goolamv @CyrilRamaphosa @DavidMogashoa First ask M23 and Rawanda to handover those who killed the Peacekeepers or else the Economy of Rwanda will bite the dust

Fellow South Africans, Following the recent intensification of fighting in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Africa has lost 13 brave soldiers who were dedicated to their mission and committed to peace. The fighting is the result of an escalation by the rebel group M23 and Rwanda Defence Force (RDF) militia engaging the Armed Forces of the DRC (FARDC) and attacking peacekeepers from the SADC Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (SAMIDRC). On behalf of the government and the people of our country, I express our sincerest condolences to their families, their loved ones and colleagues. We bow our heads in honor of their heroic and gallant fight for peace. We honour and mourn them. All necessary support is being provided to the families of the deceased and the families of the injured. The process to repatriate the remains of the deceased is underway. The attacks on peacekeepers resulted in the deaths of SAMIDRC members from other troop contributing countries, namely, Malawi and Tanzania, as well members of the UN Organisation Stabilisation Mission in the DRC (MONUSCO) brigade. We honour all the lives that were lost and pass our condolences to their families, governments and citizens. The situation in Goma and Sake, where our troops and their counterparts are stationed, remains very tense, volatile and unpredictable. The Minister of Defence and Military Veterans Ms Angie Motshekga and the Chief of the SANDF Gen Rudzani Maphwanya and SAMIDRC Force Commander Maj Gen Monwabisi Dyakopu are working to ensure that the SAMIDRC forces remain well equipped and sufficiently supported during this critical mission. We are concerned about the speculation about the state of our troops and the battle conditions. All South Africans must rally behind our brave men and women who have dedicated their lives to bringing peace in our continent. South Africa’s military presence in the eastern DRC is not a declaration of war against any country or state. The members of the South African National Defence Force that are in the DRC are part of both SADC and United Nations efforts to bring peace and protect thousands of lives that are constantly threatened by the conflict in the DRC. The presence of the SAMIDRC forces demonstrates a commitment of SADC member states to supporting the DRC in its efforts to achieve lasting peace and stability and ultimately, create an enabling environment for sustainable development and prosperity. We welcome the position that was recently adopted by the United Nations Security Council during its special sitting on the situation in the DRC, which calls for an immediate end to hostilities, the reversal of territorial expansion by the M23, the exit of external forces from the DRC and the resumption of peace talks under the Nairobi Process. The territorial integrity of the DRC must be respected in accordance with the United Nations Charter on the respect of sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of other states. We call on all parties to this conflict to fully embrace the current diplomatic efforts that are aimed at finding a peaceful resolution, including honoring the Luanda Process agreements. We must silence the guns on our continent for the attainment of inclusive development and prosperity. I thank you.

@pashor_sibanda @nustzim @iamryantanaka I take it you’ve never come across this chap and his posts. Is it selective amnesia or? ⤵️

Deeply saddened by tribalism rearing its ugly head, especially among the youth. What the NUST @nustzim student Tanaka Ziso @iamryantanaka did is unacceptable & exposes underlying issues in our nation. This divisive behavior must cease immediately. #NoToTribalism

@MpofuhebertM @pashor_sibanda @nustzim @iamryantanaka We all know the Mthwakazi leaders always get the receiving hand, since RGM days, they have been in and out of prison.

@DavidColtart Continue doing the work and we appreciate you.

Statement by David Coltart, Mayor of Bulawayo Since the resignation of Nelson Chamisa as President of the CCC, and from the party itself, on Thursday the 25th January, followed by the subsequent resignation from Parliament of some respected colleagues I have been considering my own position. As I indicated last week my main concern was to consult widely before making any decision. In this regard I have consulted a wide cross section of people, particularly in Bulawayo. I have indicated on social media sites, such as X and Whatsapp, that I am consulting and have invited people to let me have their views. During this past week I have received numerous responses on X, Whatsapp and e mail. The overwhelming response, particularly from the Bulawayo public, has been to remain in office. I have also been written to by people I deeply respect, some of whom have been involved in the struggle to bring democracy and freedom to Zimbabwe for over 6 decades, asking me not to resign. These are people who have fought consistently during their entire lives for freedom and I take their views exceptionally seriously. Bulawayo faces unique challenges at the present time. Aside from being in a disastrous state after decades of neglect, it is running out of water and faces severe water shortages this coming year. Whilst of course there is little that I as one person can do to remedy this, I have been involved in critically important initiatives during the last few months to provide short, medium and long term solutions to the crisis. If I were to resign now some of these initiatives may be undermined to the detriment of the City as a whole. Whilst the resignation of any MP is of course tragic, and a great loss to debate in Parliament, it does not have the same direct impact on citizens as would the resignation of the Mayor of a city. It is also pertinent to mention that when Nelson Chamisa telephoned me to notify me in advance of his intention to resign I asked him what his expectations were of me. His response was that I should keep on the work I have been doing. At no point has he asked me to resign. It is also important for me to state my own views regarding resignation in general. Whilst I have no doubt that Parliament has become an intolerable place, and that its Constitutional role has been severely undermined, I have always believed that it is important to not to cede whatever democratic space which has been obtained in the struggle against tyranny. As a Christian I believe in Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5 that we are to be salt and light in corrupt and darkened society. In other words tiny grains of salt, and single shafts of light from a candle, can prevent blocks of meat from corrupting and provide guidance to people stumbling around in the dark. And history is replete with individuals, such as Wilberforce, Gandhi, Martin Luther King and, closer to home and much lesser known, Ahrn Palley, who have done just this - namely spoken truth to power as individuals against powerful forces and governments. This may seem irrelevant to many but as the Mexican philosopher George Santayana once wrote, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” The danger we face in Zimbabwe today is that in our anger with all that has happened in the past year to undermine the will of the people and to subvert constitutionalism and the rule of law, we take steps which will end up consolidating ZANU PF’s grip on all institutions including Parliament and our Cities. So whilst I deeply respect and understand when principled people resign from Parliament, I remain saddened that they will no longer be able to exercise Parliamentary privilege (which is unique) to expose corruption and to fight against undemocratic and unconstitutional laws. It may seem a pointless exercise with ZANU PF being able to ride roughshod over them, but it will now be so much easier for ZANU PF to do this, without any comeback or exposure in Parliament. The same considerations apply to Bulawayo. If I resign as Mayor I have no doubt that ZANU PF will simply be provided with a foot in the door to assume much greater power in the running of the City, with all that that entails, and the entrenchment of their corrupt politics at the local level. As difficult as the current situation is in running Bulawayo, the fact is that we do have an opportunity to do whatever we can to stabilise and develop the City for the benefit of all its residents. In closing I need to address two further issues, the one being any false perception that a decision not to resign is an indication that I have turned against Nelson Chamisa, the other being that I have made any such decision solely on the grounds of what I will gain out of it personally. Long before Nelson Chamisa resigned I publicly expressed my sadness and regret about the apparent rift between Nelson Chamisa and Tendai Biti and Welshman Ncube. All three of these men are friends of mine with whom I have been in the trenches ever since the MDC was launched on the 11th September 1999. I have admired their resilience, bravery and commitment to democracy and freedom all these years. I refuse to be cajoled into a zero sum game which pits me against any of these old and trusted colleagues. Regarding Nelson Chamisa himself I deeply sympathise with and understand the decision he has taken. Although my political instincts have always been to hold on to whatever democratic space one has, I understand his deep frustration with the brazen breaches of the Constitution, the Electoral Act and the Political Parties Finance Act, both before and after the election. I have been appalled by the conduct of unscrupulous politicians over the past few months to cause the destructive recalls, undermine our institutions and hand a two-thirds majority in Parliament to ZANU PF. I have been shocked by successive decisions of our Courts which have ignored, in my opinion, centuries old legal principles in order to deny citizens the right to elected representatives of their choice. The point is that a decision not to resign as Mayor of Bulawayo should not be interpreted as a hostile act against Nelson Chamisa. I stand with him against this brazen attempt by the regime to create a one party state. I remain utterly committed to our overall collective and common strategy to bring about a new democratic and free Zimbabwe. Regarding any argument that I am making any decision for personal gain, that is simply risible. I reiterate that I did not seek this office; I was asked to take on this role by Nelson Chamisa and several other church, civic and political leaders in Bulawayo. I have always viewed it as a poisoned chalice, and after four months in office I am more convinced of that now than when I started - Bulawayo is in a terrible mess. What many may not know is the fact that my sole income for being Mayor of Bulawayo is a monthly allowance of US$25. That may seem ludicrous but it is true - it is a fact that any person can confirm by contacting the City of Bulawayo. So if anyone thinks that I am in it for the money they do not understand the facts. In other words one of the ironies for me is that any decision to resign as Mayor, far from being principled, would in fact be in my own self interest. At present I have two jobs, one as Senior Partner of my law firm, which includes running a busy practice, the other as Mayor of Bulawayo. I have never worked this hard as Mayor for so little remuneration in my life. It would suit me and my family perfectly to step back from the immense challenges Bulawayo faces; far from being a principled decision it would in fact be a selfish decision which would result in me having a far easier life going forward. In conclusion my decision is that I will not resign as Mayor of Bulawayo and will endeavour to see out my 5 year term. I am conscious that I can be recalled at any time, but so be it. I would rather be removed from office by unscrupulous politicians than betray the trust and goodwill of innocent, hard working and principled residents of Bulawayo by resigning.

@ZweNcube @daddyhope Sithutha-bus lesi esathutha sabuyela lapho esasithuthe khona

@daddyhope Uyadelela wena Hopewell. What authority do you have to say what is sanctioned by courts is illegal? Sengezo did a good job

How does everyone associated with Sengezo Tshabangu’s criminal conduct of illegally recalling legitimately elected Members of parliament feel tonight after literally handing over hard won seats to ZANUPF? The pain that some of us suffered registering young Zimbabweans for some idiots to just come and hand over seats, this is criminal! I hope everyone associated with this will sleep well tonight!

@SengezoTsh17075 @nelsonchamisa @CccNap @MadzivaNehemiah @dhonzamusoro007 @DenfordNgadzio1 @CMukungunugwa @DrMutasa67918 @Eddie_Gore1 @marapira_farai @Kikionny He has left you and your party, What are you going to do now🤣🤣

Nelson Chamisa isn't vested with the powers to recall anyone from any position,it must be very clear and he must respect the powers vested in me,the law is very clear,otherwise I will take action against him,let the law determine the judgement on 23 candidates today then we move.

A bomb

The High Court of Zimbabwe has ruled that both the conviction and sentencing of Hon Job Sikhala is illegal. He was falsely convicted by the magistrate court. He is a political prisoner and must be released! #FreeWiwa

@KingTindo @daddyhope @prmakandiwa @prophetshepherd @IanNdhlovu2 🤣🤣🤣We shall know them by their deeds..

After being exposed as a criminal money laundering mastermind and gold smuggling kingpin in the Al Jazeera Gold Mafia films, false prophet Uebert Angel was pictured today with Zimbabwe’s President, Emmerson Mnangagwa in New York showing that nothing has changed! Uebert Angel is Mnangagwa’s weirdly titled, Ambassador at Large. He is a criminal who uses religion to mask his dodgy activities. The British citizen has two Zimbabwean identity cards with different dates of birth. He uses his proximity to power to execute his criminal scams. Zimbabwe has been turned into a mafia state where criminals flaunt their money on social media, and they invoke their political ZANUPF connections to get away with their criminality. Corruption has totally destroyed the once prosperous Southern African nation.

@WatsonHlangabe1 @TNyazungu @Cde_Ostallos Jealous down

@Wonderfulmoyo7 @TNyazungu @Cde_Ostallos Those novices can not deliver on anything just as Joyce Mujuru never delivered.

We deployed Shantel Yeukai Chiwara as the youngest and first female mayor fpr the city of Masvingo. She is a graduate of the National University of Science and Technology and is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Strategic Management at the Great Zimbabwe University. It is crucial that young people and female politicians are actively included in the national development agenda as inclusivity remains our top priority. Leading with a difference!

@WatsonHlangabe1 @TNyazungu @Cde_Ostallos You are right, she is practicing now 😅🤣in next 10 years she will be a great woman

@Wonderfulmoyo7 @TNyazungu @Cde_Ostallos One can not master skills and tactics from the textbook and lecture room but only in practice.

@WatsonHlangabe1 @TNyazungu @Cde_Ostallos You missed one, future prospects, world is changing, technological advancements are taking over. The youths have all.. For experience it's all gained on the way. Its not like everyone out there is born a Mayor or a leader, her route began there let her chart her path with help

@Wonderfulmoyo7 @TNyazungu @Cde_Ostallos The more reason we are in this sort of situation and we can not perpetuate what can not deliver. The right mix of education, training and experience is key ingredient for good performance and one can not substitute the other
