Life in Rhodesia was better. At least we knew that it was the whites against us.
Not what we are seeing today black on black.
We never saw Ian Douglas Smith flaunt a lavish or flamboyant lifestyle.
Douglas you were an administrator. A developer. A builder. A visionary. Waive nani chose.
Nechatakakubvisira hapana. Dai tirikure. Zorora hako murugare munhuwashe. Sorely missed. Gone but not forgotten.

1. Linda Masarira has passed on today at 43. May she rest. But history must be recorded honestly. A thread on the public record, her own words, her own actions. 🧵
2. THE MOTHLANTE COMMISSION (2018)
As MDC-T spokesperson, Masarira testified before the Motlanthe Commission into the August 1 killings and used the platform to accuse the MDC Alliance of training its members to "engage in warfare" backed by the West.
Her own party's official, Obert Gutu, later publicly distanced MDC-T from her claims. Even her colleagues would not stand behind it.
3. SERBIAN TRAINING AND ARSON (November 2018)
When fires broke out at Siyaso Market, Mpilo Hospital, and elsewhere, Masarira took to Twitter to claim MDC Alliance cadres had been trained by Serbians in southern African countries and were behind the fires.
Jacob Mafume (MDC-A): 'She is hallucinating and has probably taken dangerous drugs.'
Obert Gutu (her own MDC-T): the party has 'no concrete information' and would hold no one responsible.
She was abandoned by all sides but the accusation was already out there.
4. FARIRAI GUMBONZVANDA AND MALDIVES ARRESTS (May 2019)
In May 2019, 7 civic activists were arrested at RG Mugabe International Airport returning from a Centre for Applied Nonviolent Action and Strategies (CANVAS) workshop in the Maldives.
Among them: Farirai Gumbonzvanda, daughter of Nyaradzai Gumbonzvanda, then head of UNIFEM/UN Women Africa. Farirai was a girls' rights defender with the Rozaria Memorial Trust.
Their charge sheets literally cited attendance at a workshop on peaceful resistance as subversion. They were held at Chikurubi Maximum.
Masarira's sustained framing of civic activists as Western-funded saboteurs gave the state's narrative oxygen. Words have consequences.
5. TAKUDZWA NGADZIORE'S ABDUCTION (November 2023)
When CCC MP Takudzwa Ngadziore was grabbed by armed men on camera, on Facebook Live, tortured and dumped naked in Mazoe, Masarira's response was to suggest it was staged to embarrass Zimbabwe ahead of a SADC summit.
'Is it a coincidence that these abductions always happen before a regional meeting?'
ZimLive subsequently unmasked the abductors: Nicholas 'Big Daddy' Kajese, CIO agent, Harare Central. Abraham Pasi. Both members of the 'Ferret Team' commanded by CIO Director Internal Ishmael Mada.
She owed Ngadziore an apology she never gave.
6. JACOB NGARIVHUME AND THE US$300,000 SMEAR (2020)
When Ngarivhume and others were organising the 2020 anti-corruption protests, Masarira went to the state-controlled Herald and told them Ngarivhume had received US$300,000 from American sources.
Ngarivhume noted this publicly today. He and his wife had supported Masarira's family during her own imprisonment. She repaid that solidarity by feeding state propaganda against him in a newspaper used to justify his arrest.
7. The tragedy of Linda Masarira is that she was genuinely brave once, 84 days in Chikurubi, hunger strikes, fighting for women prisoners to have sanitary pads. That record is real.
But the record also shows that, after a certain point, she turned those same rhetorical skills against the people still in the fight.
That is also part of the record. May she rest.

@NehandaRadio Eventually the dead and so called Polad will be left with one member only, ED

Transform Zimbabwe leader Jacob Ngarivhume has sparked outrage after saying he has “no tears to shed” following the death of Linda Masarira 😳🇿🇼
"She dedicated the last half of her life to #SellingOut! Anochemwa nana Nick Mangwana nana ED uyu. After using her, they discard to the cold dustbin. They have lost a committed lier for their PR. #NoToCorruption!" he wrote.
His comments have sharply divided opinion online, with some defending his honesty while others say criticism should wait after mourning.

Imagine taking an opportunity at the death of a mother to beat your chest. These are NOT the leaders we want. Imaging taking the shot on the timeline so serious you lose all humanity, yet can’t get 20 of your church members to vote for you to lead a Burial? Repent mhani.
Jacob Ngarivhume@NgarivhumeJ
Sadly, l have no tears to shed for Linda. We stood with her when she was persecuted by Zanu Pf back then, Mrs Ngarivhume and l, looked after her family when she was in prison. My party Transform Zimbabwe supported her in court. In teturn when she was released,

Who is this Wicknell Chivayo?
I have sent a letter to @CyrilRamaphosa asking him to clarify his relationship with this corrupt crony capitalist who is a person of interest in South Africa.
My questions to Mr Ramaphosa.
1. What is the nature and context of your interaction with Mr Chivayo as depicted in the circulated footage?
2. When did this meeting take place, and was it an official engagement, a private
meeting, or a social encounter?
3. Are there any official records, declarations, or disclosures relating to this interaction?
4. How does this engagement align with prior public statements made by your office
regarding your knowledge or relationship with Mr Chivayo?
We have an immigration crisis in South Africa because of ZANU PF leadership in Zimbabwe and the FRELIMO leadership in Mozambique.
To deal with immigration challenges which cost South Africa billions in service delivery we must deal with the root causes. ZANU and FRELIMO.
We cannot in any way as South Africa associate with or assist Zanu PF to stay in power by illegitimate means. We cannot support term extensions and dictatorships.
It is time to cut all ties with ZANU PF and its dodgy businessmen.

The tone of the war veterans sums it up very well! We are being taken for granted by the #oligarchs faction in Zanu Pf pushing for #CAB3. The nation is sick and tired, and this bill is sadly, pushing all Zimbabweans to the brink.

HARARE – A high-powered delegation from COSAFA and FIFA, led by Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) President Mr. Nqobile Magwizi, toured Geo Pomona’s waste management facility today, praising the site’s world‑class sports infrastructure and its impact on local communities.
The delegation inspected a FIFA‑certified football pitch, tennis courts, and basketball courts – all built on land that was once a dumpsite. “What makes this beautiful is the story of transformation behind it all,” a Geo Pomona representative said. “To have a FIFA‑certified football pitch standing within a waste management facility, on land that was once a dumpsite, is nothing short of remarkable. From trash to treasure, from garbage to glory.”
Beyond the facilities, the delegation expressed particular appreciation for Geo Pomona’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, which use sport to build hope, discipline, and opportunity in the surrounding community and across the nation.
“The visit was a celebration of vision meeting action,” the representative added. “The delegation’s appreciation was truly humbling.”
Mr. Magwizi and the visiting team were credited for recognising the ongoing work at the site, which has been dubbed a “from dumpsite to dreams” legacy project.

The richest black man in the world and Nigerian entrepreneur and businessman, Aliko Dangote, was asked on a podcast which African countries are currently the most promising for doing business. He mentioned 10 countries, and Zimbabwe was not on that list, despite the fact that Dangote was recently in Zimbabwe.
What this should teach Zimbabwe’s government, particularly ZANUPF and President Emmerson Mnangagwa, is that propaganda does not build confidence. Propaganda does not attract serious investors.
Serious business people like Dangote are not moved by slogans, political speeches, or staged public relations exercises.
They are moved by policy consistency, transparency, stability, infrastructure, rule of law and an environment where business can operate without corruption and uncertainty.
No amount of propaganda can hide corruption, bad policies, policy inconsistencies, collapsing infrastructure and economic instability. The world’s serious investors look beyond headlines and political praise singing. They study the fundamentals.
That is the reality of global business. You cannot cheat your way into economic success.
