Superb progress continues on the rehabilitation of the fountain outside @CityofBulawayo City Hall. Speaking to the contractors this morning I was told that the fountain will be filled by the end of the week and tested on Saturday. I am grateful that it appears it will be ready for next week’s Trade Fair when I will be hosting several Ambassadors at City Hall. My thanks go to the Town Clerk Christopher Dube, Engineer Dibidi, his team and the Bulawayo based contracting companies which have made this happen. As I have said repeatedly in the context of potholed streets and broken water delivery systems this doesn’t improve the day to day lives of residents but it is a symbolic act of where we want to take our great City. The fountain is in fact going to better than ever before. It will be easier to clean than the old one, will have superb coloured lights and powerful water jet sprays. Our vision for our City is to do the same in every sector - namely to transform our City into one of the most beautiful and lively cities in Africa.

The proportional representation electoral system across the board is the way to go. Every vote will count and be properly assigned to a political party that contested an election. It means more political parties in Parliament, representing all voters.

Mr. Mliswa, I have read your remarks. I have read them carefully, and I have decided they cannot go unanswered not because you have wounded me, but because you have been careless with things that matter, and carelessness of that kind, left unchallenged, becomes dangerous. You do not speak for the military. You never did. You are a politician. A vocal one I grant you that. But your familiarity with soldiers does not make you a soldier. And your proximity to power does not qualify you to lecture men who spent their entire adult lives in uniform about what the chain of command means, what respect for the Commander-in-Chief looks like, or what it costs to earn the right to speak on matters of national security. I earned that right. Thirty years of service earned it. The men you are attacking earned it in the trenches of the liberation struggle before you were old enough to understand what liberation required. Do not come to us with a politician's tongue and instruct us on military protocol. On the question of the Reserve Force. You raise the Reserve Force as though it were a leash. As though the possibility of recall is meant to silence us. Let me educate you, Mr. Mliswa, since you have invited this conversation into the public square. A soldier's oath is to Zimbabwe and its Constitution not to any individual, not to any faction, and certainly not to any self-appointed political enforcer operating on social media. The Reserve Force exists to serve the Republic. It is not a mechanism for intimidating retired officers who exercise their constitutional right to speak. If you believe otherwise, I suggest you revisit Section 61 of the Constitution, which guarantees freedom of expression including to men in or associated with the defence establishment and Section 67, which protects every citizen's right to participate in political life. Threatening retired generals with recall as a consequence of public comment is not loyalty to the Commander-in-Chief. It is the behaviour of a bully who has mistaken proximity to power for power itself. On "inconsequential accolades." You described the credentials of retired generals as "inconsequential accolades." I want you to sit with those words, Mr. Mliswa. Really sit with them. The men whose accolades you dismiss so casually commanded brigades, built institutions, buried colleagues, and held this country together in moments of crisis that you read about in newspapers while we lived them. What are your accolades, Mr. Mliswa? A parliamentary seat you lost? A record of public controversy that stretches the length of this country? A habit of shouting loudest in whatever direction the political wind is blowing? Do not speak to us about inconsequential. You accuse retired generals of playing politics while using their military credentials. I will tell you what is actually dangerous and it is not retired officers engaging in constitutionally protected civic discourse. What is dangerous is a political actor using the threat of military consequences to suppress legitimate voices. That is the road to authoritarianism, Mr. Mliswa, and I will not pretend otherwise simply because the target of that suppression happens to be people I know.Soldiers who speak from conscience are not a threat to this Republic. Politicians who weaponise the military against conscience those are the threat. I have served under the Commander-in-Chief. I respect the office. I respect the man's longevity in public service that is not in dispute. But respect for the President does not require silence from citizens. @TembaMliswa

@DavidColtart Thank you very much. Unfortunately, we have opportunists who believe in their manipulation of the provisions of the Constitution.

The dictates of section 328 (6), (7), (8), and (9) of the Constitution which make it clear that any attempt to extend a term of office by an incumbent requires two referenda. The term limit provisions are specially protected as are provisions in Chapter 4 (fundamental rights) and 16 (land provisions). The wording of 328(7) is critical - “the effect of which is to extend” makes it clear that even if another term isn’t sought (ie just an extension of a few years) any such constitutional amendment must go beyond a mere 2rds majority and must have two referenda where it involves an incumbent. It is simply disingenuous for anyone to suggest that the ZANU PF resolution in Bulawayo last year calling for an extension of President Mnangagwa’s term, or a further term of office, can lawfully circumvent the two referenda provision.

@Hon_Kasukuwere @waltermzembi I think one of the reasons the ED government has become bold in its oppression is the absence of an organic opposition or civil society that can consistently demand accountability. Pressure must be applied to the government without relenting.

The unjust treatment and incarceration without trial of my brother ⁦@waltermzembi⁩ is a clear indication that the state has become weaponised against opposition. Many today languish in jail without due process, no bail and no trial. #FreeMzembi

It has been 12 years since the 2013 Constitution was enacted. Despite the Constitution providing for the enactment of an Act of Parliament for Devolution implementation, provincial and metropolitan councils remain dysfunctional. Zimbabweans voted! It is a tragedy! #Devolution

Zanu PF resolutions reassert the ruling party's determination to destroy the Constitution of Zimbabwe.
