After years of fervent opposition, a figure enters our midst and immediately begins fomenting division. Yet, some naively see an ally. Why is it that any sign of our togetherness dampens their mood? This is pure opportunism—a belief that divisions will create openings for them. Let us follow our leadership's example and remain rallied to our common purpose.

We need a new culture in politics where dissent is part of discourse that leads to national progress. Emotionalism and violence are products of limited statecraft let us shun them.

Why don’t you open a processing plant and process the minerals? U just demand things that you can’t do yourself???? Many countries just mine and sell the minerals in Large quantities…. That’s Australia’s model, not the kak u teach each other in Zimbabwe…. U will grow old and die poor and leave the minerals buried underground…. Nothing special about mining, it’s just another business that must be done… u have this stupid approach that mining must not be done, that’s high level foolishness….. u are just lucky u have a tolerant govt, I would have locked you up and ended your poverty mindset …

MEDIA STATEMENT CLARIFICATION ON ANNUAL LICENCING FEES FOR ATHLETES The Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) has taken note of a communication issued by the National Athletics Association of Zimbabwe (NAAZ) dated 27 September 2025 titled "ANNUAL LICENSE FEE" indicating that from 1 January 2026, all athletes must pay an annual licence fee of USD7.00 (inclusive of SRC Levy of USD4.00) in order to participate in any athletics event in Zimbabwe. The communication further notes that the SRC has received this directive on behalf of the Government of Zimbabwe. The SRC wishes to advise that this communication is FALSE and must be DISREGARDED. The Government has NOT ISSUED any directive on licencing of athletes to the SRC or to any National Association. In terms of section 19 (d) of the Sports and Recreation Commission Act [Chapter 25:15] ("the Act") as read with paragraph 23 of the Second Schedule to the Act, all sporting and recreational activities must be authorised by the Sport and Recreation Commission. Further, it is the responsibility of registered National Associations to remit annual levies for their members in terms of section 26 of the Act as read with section 18 of the Sports and Recreation Commission Act (General) Regulations, 1995 (SI 342/1995).

SRC Dismisses “Athlete Licence Fee” Notice‼️ The Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) has clarified that a notice issued by the National Athletics Association of Zimbabwe (NAAZ) on 27 September 2025, claiming athletes would pay a US$7 annual licence fee from 1 January 2026, is false and must be disregarded. 🔹 Government has NOT issued any directive on athlete licensing. 🔹 All sporting/recreational activities must be authorised by the SRC under the Sports and Recreation Commission Act. 🔹 National Associations remain responsible for managing levies for their members. The SRC stressed that the alleged directive did not come from them and urged athletes and stakeholders to ignore it.

A system that habitually finds black people guilty and sentences them for misdemeanors, but never found anyone guilty for the crime against humanity of apartheid and its current maintenance, is a system of oppression that is ripe for revolution.

From a Constitutional Lawyer to a Twitter Advocate: Tales of a Pariah Lawyer The recent so-called “legal opinion” issued by Advocate Thabani Mpofu regarding internal processes of the Zimbabwe African National Union–Patriotic Front (ZANU PF) cannot go unchallenged. His statement, while loud, is legally hollow - a mere flourish of rhetoric without substance. In attempting to interpret the ZANU PF Constitution, Advocate Mpofu unfortunately betrays a glaring lack of familiarity with both the letter and the spirit of the Party’s governing framework. It is, therefore, imperative to set the record straight, in firm but respectful terms. 1. On the Alleged Invalidity of the Politburo Changes Advocate Mpofu’s Claim: “The letter from Chris Mutsvangwa purporting to announce changes to the ZANU PF Politburo is invalid. It claims the decision to relieve Obert Mpofu of his office as ZANU PF Secretary-General was taken under Article 9, sections 65 and 67.” Response: This claim is a classic case of mala fides interpretation. The relevant provisions of the ZANU PF Constitution clearly stipulate the President and First Secretary’s authority over the Politburo. Article 9, Section 65 (2022 Constitution) explicitly states: “The Politburo shall be appointed by the President and First Secretary under Section 67…” Section 67 reinforces this by stating that: “Immediately after the election of the President and First Secretary and Members of the Central Committee, the President and First Secretary of the Party shall… appoint from the newly elected Central Committee, two (2) Vice-Presidents and Second Secretaries, the National Chairman, the Heads of Departments of the Politburo, the Committee Members of the Politburo and the Deputies to the Heads of Departments.” This language is categorical and unambiguous. The authority vests in the President and First Secretary — not in any collective, committee, or ancillary structure. Thus, any personnel changes announced are lawfully anchored in the President’s prerogative. To argue otherwise is to deliberately distort the plain meaning of the text. 2. On Article 9 as a General Provision Advocate Mpofu’s Claim: “Article 9 concerns Politburo functions generally and does not confer authority for the First Secretary to reassign office-holders.” Response: This assertion demonstrates either willful blindness or casual disregard of the Constitution’s architecture. While Article 9 indeed outlines the functions of the Politburo, Section 65 therein is not such a functional clause - it is a structural clause explicitly tying the Politburo’s composition to Presidential appointment powers. It must be read in pari materia with Section 67, which sets out the scope of such appointments. Moreover, the Constitution is not silent on reassignment or removal: the fact that the Party Constitution states that, “If in the opinion of the President and First Secretary it is desirable to create additional Departments to the ones listed below, he shall at his discretion add such Departments and appoint Heads to the Departments and their Deputies to the Departments so created” logically imports the power of removal, for cessante ratione legis cessat et ipsa lex - the power to appoint carries with it the corollary power to disappoint as Professor Jonathan Moyo once put it. Advocate Mpofu’s reading isolates the provision from its context, leading to a patently erroneous conclusion. 3. On the Mischaracterisation of Sections 65 and 67 Advocate Mpofu’s Claim: “Section 65 addresses the functions of the Secretary for Economic Development and Empowerment; section 67 addresses the functions of the Secretary for Healthcare of the Child and the Elderly. Neither provision authorizes the personnel change…” Response: This is perhaps the most egregious and embarrassing misrepresentation in Advocate Mpofu’s so-called opinion. Sections 65 and 67 of the 2022 Party Constitution do not deal with subordinate departmental portfolios as he alleges. They deal directly with the composition and appointment of the Politburo. Conflating the Party Constitution with some other imagined text, Advocate Mpofu demonstrates the perils of pontificating on Twitter without the elementary diligence of consulting the governing document. Such a blunder is not only misleading to the public but borders on intellectual dishonesty. 4. On Historical Consistency of Presidential Powers Since its inception, ZANU PF has consistently vested authority in its President and First Secretary to appoint the Politburo. Article 8, Section 37 of the 2005 Constitution conferred this power. Article 8, Section 39 of the 2014 Constitution reaffirmed it. The 2022 Constitution continues this tradition in Article 9, Sections 65 and 67. This continuity of practice and text is dispositive: the President’s prerogative is not a novelty but a foundational principle of the Party’s governance. Conclusion Advocate Mpofu’s pronouncements amount to nothing more than what William Shakespeare eloquently classed as a “loud sound and fury, signifying nothing”. His interpretation collapses under the weight of the very provisions he misreads or misrepresents. The ZANU PF Constitution is unequivocal: the President and First Secretary has full discretionary power to appoint, disappoint, reassign, expand, and dissolve members of the Politburo. In sum, the so-called “legal opinion” is neither legal nor an opinion in the strict sense — it is mere political posturing masquerading as constitutional interpretation. ZANU PF internal processes are guided by constitutional fidelity, not Twitter advocacy. Entrusting legal strategy to the likes of Advocate Thabani Mpofu explains why CCC ended up in the graveyard for lack of constitutional grounding. @adv_fulcrum @ProfJNMoyo
