With a steady hand, President Dr @edmnangagwa 's pen will carve history into permanence. In a matter of days, #CAB3 will move from debate to law, signed and sealed by the Head of State himself.

Those crying “Munhumutapa kingdom” are simply bitter spectators. They mistake national recognition for family privilege because they themselves have no legacy worth naming. The Mnangagwa family’s imprint is tied to sacrifice and nation‑building, not petty entitlement. If critics spent less time whining and more time contributing, perhaps their own names would stand on a plaque instead of echoing in empty complaints.

The Mnangagwa family is seizing control of everything and naming every single asset, project and institution after members of their own clan. No to Munhumutapa kingdom

@ZANUPF_Official Central Committee Member and businessman Dr Kuda Tagwirei @fansokT extends remarkable generosity during a funeral, ensuring every need was met. His philanthropic support went beyond words, providing comfort and assistance in all aspects.

AMBASSADOR VICTOR MATEMADANDA DECLARED NATIONAL HERO President Dr Emmerson Mnangagwa has conferred National Hero status on the late Zimbabwe envoy to Mozambique and Eswatini, Ambassador Victor Matemadanda, in recognition of his contribution to the liberation struggle and service to the nation.

President Dr @edmnangagwa has declared the late Ambassador Victor Matemadanda a National Hero, honouring his role in the liberation struggle and his service to Zimbabwe. The announcement was conveyed to the Matemadanda family by @ZANUPF_Official Secretary for External Affairs, Cde Simbarashe Mumbengegwi, marking the nation’s recognition of his lifelong contribution.

Debate on the Constitutional Amendment No. 3 Bill is set to open in the Senate today, with Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi delivering his Second Reading remarks to guide discussion. Senators will then have the floor to contribute to the debate. The Bill already passed the National Assembly last week, winning 216 votes in favour against 42 opposed, comfortably surpassing the constitutional threshold of 187 required for amendments. Support came from both @ZANUPF_Official and CCC legislators, highlighting broad parliamentary backing. Following the Second Reading, the Senate will move into the committee stage, where each clause will be examined and debated before the Bill progresses further. #CAB3

Ian Khama ’s outburst on #CAB3 is nothing but recycled bitterness from a man whose own record in Botswana collapsed under the weight of failure. His attempt to paint Zimbabwe’s constitutional reform as “rigging and inducements” is laughable. #CAB3 is a democratic process at work, not the fantasy Khama peddles. Khama himself left Botswana divided, with accusations of authoritarian tendencies, strained relations with his own party and a legacy of personal missteps that stripped him of credibility. He presided over economic stagnation, failed to unite his people, and ultimately fled into self‑imposed exile. To now lecture Zimbabwe is hypocrisy of the highest order. #CAB3 is a success with or without Khama’s commentary. It is a reform embraced by Zimbabweans, strengthening governance and aligning the nation with #Vision2030. Khama’s personal life further exposes his emptiness. He never married, never built a family, and remains isolated - a stark contrast to Zimbabwe’s leadership that continues to anchor national unity and progress. To lecture Zimbabwe while failing to anchor his own life is hypocrisy of the highest order.

@nelsonchamisa’s claim that #CAB3 is “not a done deal” is hollow rhetoric from a politician whose influence has long evaporated. The facts are clear: #CAB3 has already passed in the National Assembly, it is now heading to the Senate where approval is inevitable, and the final stage will be assent by the President. With or without Chamisa’s contribution, the Bill is a success ~a national milestone that strengthens Zimbabwe’s democratic framework and development agenda. His attempt to derail it only highlights his irrelevance; while he clings to tired slogans, #CAB3 marches forward as a victory for the people and the nation’s future.

Rutendo Matinyarare @matinyarare’s post is nothing more than alarmist theatrics. The claim of being “possibly poisoned at home” is baseless and designed to stir sympathy rather than present facts. His pattern of sensational statements undermines credibility and exposes him as a political mercenary more focused on drama than truth. Instead of raising genuine issues, he thrives on exaggeration and fear‑mongering, which discredits his voice in serious national discourse.

The rehabilitation of the Bulawayo–Victoria Falls Road is moving steadily, with contractors accelerating works on different sections to meet the set completion target. This strategic highway is vital for national connectivity, tourism, and trade, and its upgrade reflects Zimbabwe’s commitment to modernising infrastructure under the principle “Nyika inovakwa nevene vayo” #Vision2030

Sugar bean farmers at the Mzingwane Irrigation Scheme in Matabeleland South are boosting food security through year‑round drip irrigation. By drawing water from the Mzingwane River, they are diversifying crops, reducing reliance on food aid, and earning income from surplus harvests. This effort is strengthening households while contributing directly to Zimbabwe’s national development goals. #NDS2 #Vision2030

Zimbabwe’s economy is showing strong momentum across key sectors, with agriculture leading the way as the backbone of growth. Energy supply is expanding, accommodation and food services are thriving, and transport and storage are strengthening alongside mining. Together these industries reflect a broad‑based recovery that is driving sustainable development. #Vision2030

Opposition legislators have embraced #CAB3, showing that politics is no longer about blind resistance but about maturity. Their support reflects a readiness to scrutinize laws, weigh merits and demerits, and act in the national interest. This marks a shift from partisan reflexes to constructive participation, where decisions are guided by principle and the broader good of the country. #CAB3

"Zimbabwe’s political landscape is shifting beyond the old ruling party versus opposition divide. Some opposition legislators chose to back #CAB3 not out of party instruction but on their own judgement, showing a willingness to support measures they believe serve the national interest rather than rigid partisan positions," Political Analyst Cde Dereck Goto

The United African National Council (UANC) has welcomed Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, saying it was long overdue. Party president Reverend Gwinyai Muzorewa argued that Zimbabwe’s leadership needs a longer electoral cycle to properly implement and complete developmental programmes. He stressed that extending the cycle would give government the time required to roll out long‑term initiatives and deliver sustainable progress without the constant disruption of elections.

🚨 Matinyarare’s Lies Exposed 🚨Advocate Simba Chitando has publicly dismantled @matinyarare Benson Matinyarare false claims, calling them “blatantly criminal.”According to Chitando, patriotic businessman Dr. KUDA TAGWIREI never owed Matinyarare anything. On the contrary, Dr. Tagwirei FUNDED the Zimbabwe Anti‑Sanctions Movement’s LEGAL challenge against US sanctions, covered their COSTS, and even provided Matinyarare with millions of rands, and living EXPENSES, DR Kuda Tagwirei stopped all the LEGAL funding after the STATE HOUSE IPhone smuggling incident. 👉 Bottom line: DR. TAGWIREI owed LIAR AND EXTORTIONIST Matinyarare absolutely NOTHING the EXTORTIONIST NARRATIVE COLLAPSES under the WEIGHT of TRUTH. #ZimbabwePolitics #Accountability #Patriotism @ZANUPF_Official @edmnangagwa @TateMavetera @TendaiChirau @dereckgoto @oczmk @ChinamasaPA @HonMachakaire @paultungwarara @KandishayaTaura @KMutisi @BaShonaBaShona

Ian Khama’s latest intrusion on Zimbabwe’s constitutional affairs deserves neither outrage nor surprise. It deserves dismissal. For years now, Khama has cultivated an image of a retired statesman roaming the region dispensing democratic wisdom. The reality is far less flattering. He increasingly resembles a politician unable to come to terms with his own diminished relevance, seeking visibility by commenting on countries whose internal dynamics he neither understands nor influences. His remarks on Zimbabwe’s constitutional amendment process are particularly revealing. They rest on a familiar paternalistic assumption: that millions of Zimbabweans, their elected representatives, Parliament, political parties, churches, traditional leaders, civic organisations and citizens are merely extras in a political drama directed by one individual. This is caricature. What makes Khama’s intervention even more ironic is that he governed Botswana through one of the most centralised presidencies in that country’s modern history. Under his tenure, Botswana witnessed repeated accusations of executive overreach, the growing securitisation of politics, bitter conflicts with political opponents and an increasingly personalised style of governance. The man now lecturing Zimbabwe about democracy spent years being criticised at home for precisely the tendencies he now claims to oppose abroad. Political scientists often warn against what is known as the “retired liberator syndrome” - the belief that former leaders retain a moral authority extending beyond the mandates they once held. Khama appears to have succumbed to it. He speaks as though sovereignty is negotiable when it belongs to others, but inviolable when it belongs to Botswana. His comparison of modern Zimbabwe to Rhodesia is perhaps the most intellectually bankrupt aspect of his commentary. Such a comparison does not merely distort history; it trivialises colonialism itself. Rhodesia was an explicitly racial state built upon the systematic exclusion of the African majority from political power. Independent Zimbabwe, whatever challenges it faces, is governed through institutions created and staffed by Africans and accountable to African voters. To conflate the two is not scholarship. It is propaganda. More fundamentally, Khama’s comments expose a contradiction that has increasingly defined sections of Africa’s former political elite. They celebrate democracy only when it produces outcomes they approve of. When citizens participate in consultations, when Parliament debates legislation, and when constitutional procedures are followed, they suddenly discover reasons why those outcomes are illegitimate. Democracy, in this worldview, is acceptable only when it delivers predetermined results. There is also a regional dimension worth noting. Botswana’s greatest leaders understood that influence in Southern Africa is earned through diplomacy, restraint and mutual respect. Khama’s father, Seretse Khama, built a reputation as a statesman precisely because he understood the difference between engagement and interference. His son increasingly appears determined to squander that legacy. The tragedy for Khama is that history is unlikely to remember him as Botswana’s great democratic guardian. It is more likely to remember him as a former president who left office and gradually transformed himself into a permanent opposition figure against liberation movements across the region. In doing so, he has become more relevant to Western editorial boards than to the ordinary citizens of Southern Africa whose interests he claims to champion. Zimbabwe’s constitutional future will not be decided in Gaborone, London, Brussels or Washington. It will be decided by Zimbabweans through Zimbabwean institutions. Khama’s approval is neither required nor particularly consequential. The real lesson from his latest outburst is not about Zimbabwe at all. It is about the growing tendency of retired leaders to mistake media attention for political relevance. Those are not the same thing. History is littered with former presidents who discovered that distinction too late. Ian Khama appears determined to join them.

@ZANUPF_Official National Spokesperson Ambassador Christopher Mutsvangwa has honoured the memory of the late Ambassador Victor Matemadanda, praising him as a steadfast patriot whose role in the liberation struggle and dedication to nation‑building will forever be part of Zimbabwe’s story. He noted that Cde Matemadanda’s values and the generations he inspired ensure his legacy continues to live on.
