This public notice from Advocate Thembinkosi Magwaliba is of the greatest importance and is IsiNdebele for, “I can’t be involved in that constitutional njake njake—I’m not a bottom feeder—I love my country and have respect for my mother” Indeed, every self respecting Zimbabwean wants to put as much daylight as possible between themselves and that Prof Moyo and Zvigananda offence—the lowest, of all time lows. Lonyaka ngum’nyaka of the year.
#AdvThembinkosiMagwaliba dissociates himself from constitutional coup currently unfolding in #Zimbabwe. #AU has completely banned unconstitutional changes of government. Unconstitutional change includes civilian coups like one Prof Jonathan Moyo & Minister Ziyambi are executing

Political prisoners at Luzira upper prison, remanded by the court martial in 2021 on allegations of murder, aggravated robbery and Treachery. #FreeAllPoliticalPrisonersUg And Bobi Young who was detained in 2024.
A piece of good news from #Uganda is that @kiizaeron a distinguished Advocate of the High Court was granted bail 4/4/2025. He was unlawfully imprisoned by a Court Martial merely for trying to represent his client Lawyers must never be associated with their client’s causes
There isn’t a moment that passes without me thinking of Dhara @bbmhlanga and the welfare of his family. Blessed has been denied his freedom for over 33 days for doing his work as a journalist. Blessed is in prison because our judiciary has been absolutely captured by the regime. There is no justice in Zimbabwe. Amos Chibaya and the Budiriro 8 are also victims of this captured judiciary. None of us is safe from this lawfare. Today it is Blessed, Amos Chibaya and the Budiriro 8. Tomorrow it will be you or your relative. #FreeBlessedMhlanga #PressFreedom #JournalismIsNotACrime
A PFF delegation has just returned from Luzira maximum prison, new orders have been given! Dr @kizzabesigye1 has been given two choices, to either eat prison food or starve. All the food items we carried for him were rejected, we were told that Posho, milk, millet flour, honey, cooking oil, rice, blue band etc are sold at the prison canteen. Dr said he won't eat their canteen food, he doesn't trust it, he remarked and said probably he will starve to death and die before the date set by Muhoozi. Denying him food from his trusted relatives and comrades isn't the only right they have denied him, we now don't physically meet him when we visit, we talk to him on a prison phone booth🤔 As if that is not enough, Dr @Kizza Besigye isn't allowed to interact with other prisoners, he isn't even allowed to attend prayers, he is in a prison within a prison. I am now convinced beyond reasonable doubt that Museveni is determined to kill Dr Besigye just like his son told us last night. Doreen Nyanjura writes
