1/2 I have just been suspended from school by the University of Zimbabwe admin, along with five other student activists. Our crime?-Exercising our constitutional right to demonstrate, demanding quality education, and fair remuneration for our lecturers. #AcademicFreedomUnderSiege

The SDA Church has reaffirmed its apolitical position. Its pulpit will be used for the advancement of the work of God and, “must never be used as a platform for political advocacy”. This standard, the church has correctly said, is non negotiable and applies across all church organised events.

Why Smart People Sink in Politics – The Case of Floyd Shivambu
Yesterday’s demotion of Floyd Shivambu as MK Secretary brings to the fore a brutal and recurring truth in African politics: political parties are graveyards for the smart, skilled, and competent—if they lack emotional intelligence and political capital.
There is no question about Floyd’s intellect. He is articulate, educated, politically aware. But politics does not reward IQ. It rewards survival instincts. It demands patience, negotiation, humility, and emotional control. Floyd failed the most important test in politics—not intelligence, but emotional intelligence.
In politics, brilliance alone is not enough. You don’t survive because you’re smart. You survive because you build power. Quietly. Strategically. Through networks, compromise, trust, and grit.
Africa is replete with the remains of brilliant men and women who walked into party politics thinking credentials equal credibility—only to be humbled, exiled, or discarded. The terrain is unforgiving. It erodes dignity. It punishes difference.
And yet we often ask:
Why do Presidents, Ministers, Members of Parliament, and Councillors so often fail to perform? Here’s the uncomfortable truth: our politics is not designed to attract the best. It’s a safe haven for those who failed elsewhere—a refuge where there’s zero demand for expertise beyond loyalty, slogan-shouting, and singing at rallies. No KPIs. No meritocracy. Just noise, allegiance, and survival.
This is exactly why Africa’s best minds stay away. They look in from the outside and see the cost:
Infighting. Betrayal. Gatekeeping. Ego wars. So they opt out—leaving political parties to those who can endure the mud, not those who can shape the future.
Until we redesign our politics to reward competence over compliance, ideas over idolatry,
and vision over volume,
we will keep watching smart people fall—and the mediocre rise.

A Birthday to Remember: Cllr Richard Pamire 40th Birthday with residents
Harare's Kuwadzana Ward 37 Councillor, Richard Pamire, marked a major milestone on Saturday, February 24, 2025, as he celebrated his 40th birthday with the residents of Kuwadzana at Major Park. The joyous event featured renowned musicians Mwana Guruve and Ruyamuro Express, Tryson Chimbetu, Jah Signal and Obert Chari.
In an exclusive interview with Change Radio, Councillor Pamire shared the inspiration behind celebrating his birthday with the community. He reflected on the challenges they faced on election day, waiting in long queues as ballot boxes were delayed. This experience, he said, forged a strong bond between him and the residents, making him feel like they are one big family.
"We are a family as a ward," Councillor Pamire emphasized, highlighting his desire to share moments of joy and sorrow with the people he serves. This sentiment was evident in the festive atmosphere of the birthday celebration, which brought together locals and prominent musicians in a spirit of unity and camaraderie.

@iamTSUNGA The US supremacy is just under threat from Africa's warming up relations to China and Russia. The Departure of USAID is to show why US is a better partner for Africa and What the US is giving to Africa ,Russia and China can Never !

@ProfJNMoyo What is in the public discourse is the morality of that idea that is being proposed in those 2030 slogans. It is oxymoronic to think that we shld wait for formal proceedings first ,for us to have a position on the proposal.
English

It is an oxymoron, that is a contradiction in terms, to claim or to assert that the so-called 2030 proposal to amend the Constitution of Zimbabwe allegedly being mooted by some sections of the governing ZanuPF is unconstitutional.
A proposal to amend the constitution is just that; a proposal, nothing less and nothing more. It is not a crime or a civic wrong for anyone to want or to seek to amend the Constitution of Zimbabwe. A constitutional proposal cannot be unconstitutional.
Accordingly, it is important to understand and appreciate that, as a matter of fact, there is no democratic constitution anywhere in the world, which cannot be amended. All such constitutions have very clear and precise provisions for their amendment.
In this connection, all that matters is that proposals to amend the Constitution of Zimbabwe must be done and must proceed in terms of section 328 of the Constitution, as read with section 131. That is all. The rest is mumbo jumbo.
Otherwise, so far, there is nothing that has been done by those who are allegedly mooting the so-called 2030 proposal to amend the Constitution of Zimbabwe that is in violation of either section 328 or section 131 of the Constitution; not least because no proposed Constitutional Bill has been formulated, let alone tabled.
It is therefore an oxymoron to describe or characterise as “unconstitutional”; a proposal that is allegedly being mooted but which has neither been formulated nor tabled. There is no proposed amendment to a democratic constitution that can be said to be unconstitutional in advance.
Put differently, the ongoing narrative through which some quarters are opposing an allegedly mooted proposal to amend the constitution is weird, to say the least. How can one oppose a proposal to amend the constitution, when that proposal does not even exist?
But more to the point, how can anyone, especially those who style themselves as champions of democracy or “new leaders” of the “democratic alternative”, oppose an amendment to the Constitution, when in fact the Constitution has democratic provisions for the amendment of anything and everything in it?
There is nothing in the Constitution of Zimbabwe that cannot be amended. Nothing.
The only reason why some people are falling on each other to oppose something that is not even there, but something which, if there, would be permissible in terms of the Constitution of Zimbabwe could be perhaps because those with something to hide tend to be very afraid, fearing fear itself!

Posted as received. The Chinese cranes 🏗️ are back with much better precast houses having removed the wooden shacks they put last week. So are they above the law of Zimbabwe invading housing neighborhoods. We are a residential area & why are they not going to Msasa industrial sites? Inzvimbo yedu iyi @JMafume

President Mnangagwa has taken a sizable delegation of 238 people to the UN climate summit—a stark contrast to other countries. South Africa, with a population of 60 million, is sending only 51 delegates, while France is sending 63, Mozambique 78, and Botswana 39.
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe faces its worst drought in 40 years, with over half its population requiring food aid. Despite this crisis, Mnangagwa's government is paying each delegate a daily allowance of US$1,000 for five days, totaling US$1.2 million.
Mnangagwa departed Harare on Sunday for the conference, traveling aboard a private jet chartered from Dubai at a rate of US$12,700 per hour.
