#SaveOurVlei
Here’s how you send a message from the sky to our Members of @ParliamentZim who want to build their houses on @MonavaleWetland - one of Zimbabwe’s only 7 Wetlands of International Importance protected under the @RamsarConv!
And this is happening while Zimbabwe is the President of the Ramsar Convention of Wetlands! 😳
Tomorrow, 5th May 2026, in Switzerland, the delegation from Zimbabwe will be chairing the Standing Committee meeting of the Ramsar Convention to discuss how to protect wetlands globally. Yet back home, our wetlands on public lands are being privatized and allocated to MPs to construct their homes.
Wetlands are for all of us! We depend on them for clean water, green space, flood prevention and so much more. We need to defend them for the sake our children and our children’s children.

Tomorrow, my friend Job Sikhala is appearing in SA court. He is charged for a crime he never committed. We pray that tomorrow the charges are dropped, and he becomes free to come back home to do what he must be doing. I wish you well,friend. Zvese zvichapera izvi.

@daddyhope@SthembiD Ramaphosa is not Zimbabwean. We don’t care what he says; we know our situation as Zimbabweans. We choose who we want to lead. Keep your South Africa and let us keep our Zimbabwe.Aluta continua
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.
@NehandaRadio It's a great game of chess to watch where the Grandmaster seems to have one extra pawn. Youth is on her side, the academia’s, every woman, the youth, and the whole country. The way she made the General aware of his self-worth, only a good teacher can do that.
Biti’s CAB3 breakdown is vital. He reveals he was injected with poison in prison. Stay tuned.

The standoff between Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa and Mkanya Chiwenga is no longer a behind the scenes power struggle, it is an open test of authority, and right now, the silence from the top is deafening.
If Mnangagwa is truly in charge, then he must prove it. Leadership is not maintained through hesitation, whispered briefings, or carefully planted statements through allies. It is exercised through decisive action. If Chiwenga is perceived as a threat, a rival, or simply out of step with the direction of government, then the President has both the authority and the obligation to act. Anything less is not strategy, it is weakness.
Expecting Chiwenga to resign is politically naive. No one entrenched at that level of power walks away voluntarily. That option does not exist in reality. The only meaningful question is whether Mnangagwa has the resolve to remove him or whether he is prepared to continue governing under the shadow of his own deputy.
The use of figures like Themba Mliswa as unofficial messengers only deepens the perception of insecurity. When leaders speak through intermediaries instead of addressing the nation directly, it raises a simple question: who is actually in control? Power that has to be hinted at, defended by proxies, or negotiated in public is power already slipping.
This moment demands clarity, not choreography. Either Mnangagwa asserts his authority in unmistakable terms, or he concedes, by inaction, that the balance of power is no longer firmly in his hands.
There is no middle ground. In politics at this level, hesitation is not neutrality; it is surrender in slow motion. #edmustgo#saynoto2030#defendtheconstitution
Someone bulldozed a portion of the @MonavaleWetland Ramsar Site today! We still don’t know for sure who is behind it but it must be stopped. This wetland is an essential source of water for Harare and one of Zimbabwe’s only 7 Wetlands of International Importance. #SaveMonavaleVlei#WetlandsMatter
WATCH | This morning, the ZNA appeared to be conducting an exercise along Enterprise Road, which was temporarily closed between Chisipite and Newlands. Several military vehicles were seen travelling in a convoy, and at one point they stopped and blocked part of the road.

WATCH | A group calling itself Edutainers4ED has responded to Vice President Chiwenga’s recent Bible message, which has increased political tensions in Zimbabwe.
Speaking at a Roman Catholic gathering in Murewa on Saturday, Chiwenga gave a message based on scripture that sounded like a strong warning. Many people believe the message was aimed at President Mnangagwa, even though he did not mention him by name.
@ZimEye It’s high time former judges and former senior civil servants come out rally behind the General,he now has the support of most in the military and police the students formations.It’s time to close the curtain on the old Zanu and start anew.
Dear Editor ...
There is a leaked message circulating on ZANU PF social media platforms indicating that the 2030 team has ordered the death of Gen Sanyatwe, Gen Rugeje, and Gen Muchena
The public insults directed at VP Chiwenga by @TembaMliswa , with ED’s apparent blessing, set a dangerous precedent. If a civilian can target a top soldier today, serving Generals will be next once they retire. ED is undermining the military’s dignity for political gain.
@ChairmanThePlug@LynneStactia He’s rolling up his sleeves. The General’s life is on the table. They are busy trying to tarnish his image with a Mary Chiwenga documentary. Very soon ZBC is going to run that story, they are busy looking around so that they fire him.
Hezekiah’s story reminds us that time, purpose, and leadership are not accidents.
Sometimes what’s dismissed as “just a reference” carries deeper meaning for those who are paying attention. 🇿🇼
Saka siyanai naGeneral Chiwenga. #CAB3 haisi yevanhu — inobatsira political elite chete.
This is as brazen an attack on the President as one can ever give and coming from his own Deputy its shocking. For one so close to the President to resort to this is diplomatically gross and strategically poor.
The VP is now seriously endangering his standing by pandering to the whims of social media and the opposition by indulging in content creation. The subject matter which he poorly dresses in Biblical frocks instead of explicitly stating his opposition to CAB3, as any serious politician would do, shows his level of frustration.
Politically the man has been outmanoeuvred and if he is sincere that he opposes what ZANU PF has come to represent then he should resign like any self-respecting leader. What he is contesting is a party decision and he can't continue within an entity whose thinking and direction he doesn't accept!
Resigning, not metaphors, is the only redemptive path for him.
He should resign and then canvass for the support of the opposition, which he is clearly pandering to, against his own party. CAB3 is not the product of any single individual but is a ZANU PF project, a party to which he belongs. He cannot reduce it to any single Hezekiah when he has been part of Cabinet that approved it.
He failed to block the resolution from the Conference, Politburo, Central Committee, Cabinet, Public Hearings and we are now reaching the Parliament stage. For the ruling party he has become the main opposition, providing fodder for continued tension and instability through such veiled attacks.
The biggest takeaway from all this is that he lacks the necessary political muscle and internal support for anything of significance. Thats a hard truth which the doomsday prophets should quickly recognise and stop putting pressure on him to become some action hero.
Party members have accepted the party decisions and moved on. Only social media and the motley crowd of illusionists hanging in shadows amount to the "army" that are beckoning him into what will surely amount to self-immolation.
Fuelled by this "virtual army" he has instigated multiple political infractions goading President Mnangagwa who has himself remained dignified and quiet. ED's patience and Long-Game tactics are clearly unsettling him.
It's just that the political standards for the opposition, which has embraced him on social media, is very low such that they can't recognise the absurdity of the VP remaining part of the machinery which they deride and yet embrace him as a shining light.
For the ruling party he is becoming a liability publicly questioning party resolutions and feeding the public mentality with treasonous thoughts.
Alert 🚨

Nothing evil remains hidden. Precabe Farm is reportedly preparing poisoned water bottles for barracks, cabinet members, and state functions. Stay vigilant and carry your own water. ED is now in killing mode !
