Oh My God This Is Bloemfontein CBD ? Fight For South Africa 🇿🇦 Guys 💔🙆🏽‍♂️

Dear Fellow South African,   Every May, we observe Africa Month to commemorate the founding of the Organisation of African Unity in 1963. Celebrating and affirming our identity as Africans is as integral to our national character as the ideals that anchor our democracy. 🔗 shorturl.at/3NYGb

Today, President @CyrilRamaphosa visited Zimbabwe and was photographed with Wicknell Chivayo, a man currently under investigation by South Africa's own FIC for allegedly laundering over R800 million in Zimbabwean public funds. South Africa's Financial Intelligence Centre found that over R1.1 billion from Zimbabwe's Ministry of Finance @ZimTreasury flowed into a South African printing company, with more than R800 million rapidly transferred into accounts belonging to Chivayo-linked companies. The Hawks, SARS and SAPS are all involved. A South African High Court has already frozen Chivayo's bank accounts at FNB, Absa and Standard Bank and grounded his private jet in a case brought by his estranged wife Louise Sonja Madzikanda. But it gets worse. Wicknell's younger brother, Joachim 'G6' Chivayo, was arrested in November 2024 by the Hawks' Serious Organised Crime Unit in Brakpan for possession of six gold bars worth approximately R15 million. He was granted bail of R20,000 with strict conditions; he could not leave Gauteng or South Africa. He then failed to appear in court, and a warrant of arrest was issued against him on March 11, 2025. He jumped the border and never came back. Joachim Chivayo was subsequently appointed ZANU-PF's deputy secretary for information and publicity in Harare province in September 2025, a fugitive from South African justice, rewarded with a political position. So here is the full picture: South Africa's FIC is actively investigating the elder Chivayo. South Africa's Hawks have an outstanding warrant for the younger Chivayo. A South African court has frozen the family's assets. And Ramaphosa flew to Zimbabwe and posed for photographs with the man at the centre of all of it. What does this say about South Africa's rule of law? When a sitting president shares a frame with someone his own country's financial intelligence unit is investigating for money laundering and whose fugitive brother is sheltered by the very government hosting that visit, the message sent to criminals everywhere is clear: connections trump consequences. You genuinely cannot make this up. 🇿🇦🇿🇼 @Leon_Schreib @Sophie_Mokoena

Hopewell is the scum of the earth & the worst journalist to come out of Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 follow him at your own peril!!

@lunietoolz @PresidencyZA Why is it reported in the past tense. Ordinarily media would be briefed in advance. Why would a presser say “Earlier on”

The contradictions between the communique on behalf of our @PresidencyZA and what’s actually being reported in or coming out of Zimbabwean publications are honestly a bit worrying. On their side, it’s being framed as a private visit by President Ramaphosa to President Mnangagwa’s farm, but here at home it’s being presented as a working visit. So which one is it really? Transparency and accountability are supposed to be the foundation of governance, so clarity on something like this shouldn’t be difficult. It just leaves people confused when the messaging doesn’t line up.... @SpokespersonRSA 🇿🇦

@_Msindazwe_ This haphazard way of handling issues is shameful

Are you a policeman?? Don't tell me nonsense 😒 words from a fearless man 😤 No one is afraid of Ngizwe without his xenophobic mob he's useless

@daddyhope Your reporting is uncharacteristic. Something is wrong in your reporting

Hopes of a military coup against President Emmerson Mnangagwa, led by his vice president, General Constantino Chiwenga and his associates, have reportedly been quashed after sources say that South African President Cyril Ramaphosa assured his Zimbabwean counterpart that South Africa will not countenance any unconstitutional removal of a president in Zimbabwe. Today, President Emmerson Mnangagwa met with Ramaphosa in Harare, where he was received by Mnangagwa alongside businessmen Wicknell Chivayo and Kudakwashe Tagwirei, before the two leaders and the two businessmen flew on a one hour helicopter trip together to Mnangagwa’s farm, Precabe, in Kwekwe. They toured the farm, where the South African president was shown Mnangagwa’s Ankoli cattle and fish breeding pools. When they reached the ostriches, Ramaphosa is said to have remarked, in a pointed and politically loaded statement, that “nothing and nobody will remove my elder brother from power unconstitutionally.” The remark was made in the presence of members of the delegation accompanying the two leaders. “The owner of these ostriches will be president until 2030 if Parliament says so,” Ramaphosa is further reported to have said, reinforcing his assurance to Mnangagwa and those present. The two leaders then went into a four-hour closed-door meeting, where they were joined by Tagwirei and Chivayo. The meeting was described as highly personal and private, with even the president’s spokesperson, George Charamba, excluded from the delegation for today’s visit. Sources familiar with the discussions say Ramaphosa made it clear that South Africa would neither support nor recognise a military coup against Mnangagwa. Those within Mnangagwa’s inner circle were reportedly buoyant after the engagement, interpreting Ramaphosa’s position as a significant reinforcement of regional backing. They believe that, with South Africa’s stance now aligned with that of countries such as Tanzania, Mozambique, Zambia, and, more recently, Botswana, where Chivayo travelled in recent days, Mnangagwa has effectively strengthened his position and insulated his presidency within the region against any potential coup attempt. What was significant today is that South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s trip to Zimbabwe, which I broke last night, was not an official bilateral state engagement conducted at the level of heads of state. It was a private trip, and sources in Pretoria say that many people in the president’s office, and indeed within DIRCO, the foreign affairs department of South Africa, were not aware of it. President Cyril Ramaphosa is now back in South Africa after the short visit to Zimbabwe.

@africans80288 @Abramjee Oh I see

@GrandZacharia @Abramjee It means the ownership of the car is still under financed bank .

The Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department arrested two suspects in Sandton after officers intercepted a grey Haval fitted with unauthorised blue lights at the corner of Rivonia Road and Grayston Drive during routine patrols. The male driver claimed he was the official driver of the Mayor of Nala Municipality and said he was transporting the mayor. The female passenger supported the story and falsely identified herself as the mayor. Police became suspicious after checks revealed the vehicle was not state-owned, but registered to a bank. Further investigation found the woman had allegedly impersonated the mayor, while the driver was allegedly under the influence of alcohol and unlawfully using blue light equipment. The driver was charged with impersonating a police official, drunk driving, and illegal use of blue lights. The female passenger was charged with impersonation. Both were detained at Sandton SAPS and are expected to appear in court soon.

@AlexanderRusero Zimsec itself mimics the same Cambridge you disparage. So I don’t see your argument here. You don’t decolonise by changing an exam board. It’s the context and content that matters

Public policy is what the Government chooses to do and not to do. No country has ever developed using a curriculum designed by it's erstwhile Oppressor!

@AlexanderRusero I think we are taking academic concepts too far. What epistemically justice when even that concept you are mentioning is not emanating from us. We race consumers of western everything including our discourses that appear sophisticated but entrench the same ideas we fight

Making ZIMSEC exams compulsory and abolishing Cambridge isn’t a crisis, it’s a correction. All education is inherently ideological, so reclaiming our curriculum is part of epistemic justice. The real conversation should focus on strengthening ZIMSEC, not disparaging it.

@_asemahle_n Run away

My Pastor asked me to be his second wife, AGAIN today at church 😭😭😭

@Leokoni @noto2030 It’s like he is saying, is this the guy my central bank is looking for?😂😂

Is Chivhayo now part of the government official. @nickmangwana what is happening? May Robert Mugabe's soul continue to rest in peace.

@Jamwanda2 But why would children be forced to do same subjects under different exam boards. It’s essentially cancelling the other if Zimsec becomes mandatory

DO YOU GUYS GRASP WHAT THE MINISTER IS SAYING? In simple English, the Minister said ZIMSEC is now mandatory in all schools. He did not bar schools from adding other Examination Boards in addition to ZIMSEC!!!! What’s the furore about?? My son who is now in Upper Sixth set for both and passed!!! x.com/nickmangwana/s…
