@mawarirej Happy anniversary Save na maiguru vangu. Enjoy this special day.

On this day, 19 years ago, God officially handed me my missing rib. It has been 19 years of joy, growth, disappointments and huge successes together. Thank you my dear for standing with me When I was weak, when I was raw and uncut. You urged me to seek the face of God & 19 yrs later, I might not be a perfect disciple but I know what is right. Thank you Manjenjenje for being a friend, critic, mother, prayer partner and soulmate. God, through you, made me find treasure and favour in his eyes (Psalm 18:22)

The Indonesian election is one of the largest in the world- with over 200 million voters going to the polls today! Polls open at 7:00am and will close at 1:00pm.

ERC PRE-ELECTION CONFERENCE @GordenMoyo says according to the study conducted in relation to vote buying: ⚫44% said they will reject the bribe and go to vote based on their conscience ⚫40% said they will take the bribe, but vote based on their conscience ⚫11% said they will..

Questions are being asked what the impact of the appeal by @Hon_Kasukuwere is on High Court order. In normal cases the filing of an appeal automatically suspends the order appealed against. If this is the case then it may mean that until case is finalised SK’s name is on ballot.

After realising they were running a BOGUS election where the opposition mainly CCC led by @nelsonchamisa was being banned and the exposures on social media, regional and international platforms, ZANU PF is now attempting to back off but where is the VOTERS ROLL, POLLING STATIONS

Sierra Leone Democracy Strengthening Programme partners during a workshop on civic and voter education @EUinSierraLeone

Please forward the following to George Charamba whose contacts I don’t have but has been writing nonsense about me for years. My politics go back to the ‘60’s when I lived in Highfields and then onto University College of Rhodesia where I was a student leader, detained together with the likes of Godfrey Chidyausiku, was SRC president in 1972, expelled together with the likes of Witness Mangwende and Simba Makoni in 1973, detained thereafter and arrived in Lusaka In June 1975, soon after Chitepo’s assassination. To state the least, I was stationed at the Liberation Centre in Lusaka, together with John Mawema and Simbarashe Mumbegwegwi, on my way to Maputo on 1978. I came back from Maputo in February 1980, stayed my first night with Mnangagwa in Salisbury before joining the Election Directorate at 88 Manica Rd. I flatly turned down the suggestion by Shamuyarira that I stand and represent “Coloureds” in Arcadia and, if Charamba has read my book Race, Colour and Class, he will understand why it’s absolutely dishonest of him to claim that I relished representing “Coloureds”. It’s really stupid of him. For his information, I had a closer relationship with Robert Mugabe - and many of the nationalists, including Tekere of course- than he can claim, right from Maputo days to the very end. I was offered Cabinet posts on two occasions: in 1984, when Fay Chung and Oppa were offered and accepted; and in 2000, after the Constitutional Commission and subsequent elections. I turned down both. Charamba suffers from expedient amnesia, enough to forget the number of times he visited me at SAPES Trust, to assist with speech writing for the old man during the 1990’s; nor is he aware that I was offered but declined the offer of High Commissioner to UK in 1992. That alone makes nonsense of his claim that the old man had ditched me for the post of Secretary to Cabinet. I am the one that recruited Charles Utete to the Public Service, as I did many others who were my seniors by age, but I have always regarded Utete as the consummate Secretary to President and Cabinet that he was. I was retired from Government in July 1990 at the age of 42, in circumstances Charamba does not know except speculate. I detest profoundly Charamba’s penchant for attacking me as he does from time to time in the pages of Zimpspers, even if that p obsession is a reflection of the extent to which I might be the mirror through which he might introspect. @ibbosnr

@nelsonchamisa I liked the way you pinpointed the exact issues that need reforms. There is so much uncertainty around the election date, which makes it difficult for most stakeholders to plan effectively. Proclamation expected from 27 May to 12 July 2023. Too long

WE MUST CHANGE THE LAW… Proclamation, Nomination and Polling dates have a bearing on planning by citizens, voters, business, investors and political parties’ internal processes. In Zimbabwe, the current law gives the incumbent ED too much power & scope for abuse. In other countries, the precise dates are known by all ahead of time.
