@Terminix , your rep deceived me into signing a one year contract knowing full well it was not refundable. I explained that I would be selling the house in a month! I called asking for my refund and no one has called me back! I will let all know how deceitful this company is!!

@daddyhope ….uyezve akanzi go and see Victor. Saka she will sing praises

Susan Matsunga entered Parliament as an opposition Member of Parliament for Budiriro, a constituency where three Zimbabweans were recently found drowned in a sewer. Yet instead of focusing on the real issues affecting her constituents, she chose to defend and advance the interests of the ruling party and President Emmerson Mnangagwa in exchange for political trinkets. She is a perfect example of what is wrong with Zimbabwean politics. Four years ago, I was heavily criticised and insulted on this platform by some personality politics die hards when I questioned the process used by the opposition to select candidates for Parliament. One of the reasons I eventually fell out with the opposition leader was because I challenged the lack of transparency in how candidates were chosen. I argued that there should be public interviews so that Zimbabweans, both at home and abroad, could hear for themselves the quality of thought, ideas and leadership abilities of those seeking to represent them before they were selected or elected. I questioned how different the opposition was to ZANUPF if it refuses this level of transparency. I deliberately use the words “selected” and “elected” interchangeably because, in many cases, opposition candidates are selected long before voters are given an opportunity to elect them. If need be, rigging is done to make sure that the candidate the leader wants gets in, this is commonly known in the opposition circles. Anyone who has spent time around opposition politics knows that many aspiring MPs get onto the ticket not on merit but more on ingratiating oneself with the leader and his side kicks. That makes the process fundamentally flawed. My challenge in 2022 and again in 2023 was simple, if the opposition claims to be different from ZANUPF, why should advancement depend on loyalty to an individual rather than commitment and loyalty to ideas and principles? There were persistent stories that some aspiring candidates had to curry favour with influential figures in order to secure positions on party tickets. Susan Matsunga is an example of what happens when politics revolves around personalities rather than principles. Many will remember how she bootlicked the opposition leader on social media and attacked anyone who raised genuine concerns. I raised concerns about that at the time, and I will look for the posts. What we are witnessing now is not an isolated incident. It is a symptom of a deeper and structural problem. When people rise through the ranks by flattering leaders rather than demonstrating competence, principles and independent thinking, they eventually transfer that loyalty elsewhere whenever it serves their interests, as she is doing now. What she said during the Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 debate yesterday reflects exactly that. President Emmerson Mnangagwa did not simply ask MPs to support a bill that could benefit him. He offered something that could benefit them as well, an extension of their own terms in parliament. For those like Susan whose politics is driven by personal gain rather than principle, the temptation becomes obvious. Bootlicking is not loyalty to a particular progressive idea. It is a political culture based on personality cults. Those who build careers through flattery will eventually flatter whoever appears capable of advancing their personal interests. Yesterday it was the opposition leadership. Today it is Mnangagwa. Tomorrow it will be someone else. Zimbabwe’s political challenge is bigger than one person or one party. We have allowed personality cults to dominate our politics at the expense of ideas. We support individuals rather than principles, and as a result we repeatedly produce leaders and representatives who place personal interests above the interests of the people they claim to serve. If our politics were rooted in ideas, accountability and merit, there would be less bootlicking and more conviction. Representatives would feel bound by the principles on which they were elected rather than by opportunities for personal advancement. Today you see grown men and women shamelessly bootlicking leaders instead of ideas. Susan Matsunga entered Parliament on an opposition ticket, but many of her constituents who oppose Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 will struggle to see their views reflected in her position. In the end, that is the real issue, whether elected representatives remain accountable to the people who sent them there. Some people will not understand this argument today. Others may take years to do so. As the saying goes, puppies in the same litter do not open their eyes on the same day. Some open them sooner, some later, and when it comes to human beings, some never open them at all. But history must be recorded. These things need to be said when they need to be said, so that future generations know there were people who challenged the culture of personality politics and warned about its consequences long before the damage became obvious to everyone else. And to my fellow citizens, especially journalists, it is far better to be unpopular for saying the right things than to be celebrated for saying the wrong ones. History has a way of separating principle from convenience. Those who stand for what is right, even when it is unpopular and misunderstood, are often vindicated with time. The crowd is not always right, and popularity is not always a measure of truth. Eventually, history will judge those who stood with the interests of the people, even when the people themselves did not fully understand the message at the time. The duty of a journalist is not to tell people what they want to hear, but to tell them what they need to hear, guided by facts, principle and conscience. Susan Matsunga is not the disease; she is the symptom. The real disease is a political culture that rewards bootlicking over ideas, loyalty to individuals over principles, and personality cults over democracy.

@Starboi4lifexx @Sentletse He actually is Venda. We do have Vendas in Zimbabwe

@Sentletse I just love how one tribe is claiming him as Venda vs Zhosa but fail to realize he is simply an African. There are Vendas in Zimbabwe, Botswana , Limpopo (South Africa 🇿🇦).

Zimbabwe Vice President, Kembo Mohadi, speaking Setswana. He is from the Karanga tribe, which is closely related to the Kalanga tribe in Botswana. Both the Kalanga and Karanga people coexisted for centuries in ancient Mapungubwe. There is a Batswana community of about 60,000 in Zimbabwe. There is also a small Batswana community in Namibia who have lived there for close to 200 years. There are Batswana in Zambia as well. Lozi and Setswana are very similar. The Lozi people can also be found in Botswana where they existed for over 100 years. In the nutshell, we are all one people.

@mamakaCleo Congratulations on the win

Arsenal are the champions 🏆 2025/2026. I waited for this moment for 22 years. What a time to be alive. Next Champions league in Budapest. My name is MaZwangendaba and I support Arsenal only. Goodnight gooners. 🥰

@nelsonchamisa Me heading to the comments section

PREPARED.. I’ve been preparing. And I’m now fully ready and prepared.

@mamakaCleo It’s the coverage they are being given that makes me wonder if the gvt of SA is not complicit in this.

I'm gutted to watch this. Our government sees nothing wrong with this. Being dehumanised like this. Being treat like animals. The insults. Zanu pf must go in its entirety. 🚮🚮🚮🚮

@begottensun @POTUS @realDonaldTrump From comments I can see that the sarcasm was missed

Dear @POTUS @realDonaldTrump come deal with these South African thugs please. After us they will come for your white farmers.

@mamakaCleo It’s wrong if baker didn’t deliver what you asked for. It’s better to say “I cannot do this” and be upfront about it. It doesn’t take anything away from you when you say you cannot do it.

Customer care in Zimbabwe is very poor. It becomes hard to patronise business owners. It is imperative that business owners treat customers as kings even if its a dollar. I know I'm poor, but if I fork out a few dollars to please my niece I mustn't be treated like trash. @Cynthia_R_Jones treat customers as kings regardless of paltry amounts of money we use to patronise you. Do better. What i asked for vs what I got. 😏😒.

@begottensun Dude you spoke like a prophet! Receive your love offering! Coz now vakuita madiro ne constitution

🧐

@begottensun The mentality displayed here is mind boggling! So she is supposed to be “poor” for her to say we need new leaders? 🤦🏽‍♂️.

After pursuing her higher education at the University of Zimbabwe, earning a Bachelor of Law Honours degree in 2008. She furthered her academic journey by obtaining a Master of Laws degree in International Criminal Law and international Commercial Litigation from the University of Cambridge in 2011. Upon her return to Zimbabwe in 2011, she established her own legal practice. Her legal acumen and commitment to justice led her to participate in various significant endeavours, including a public inquiry on the introduction of bond notes in Zimbabwe. Yes. She worked hard for many years and can afford to drive a fucking Jaguar. There are other ways to “make it” without putting on a pamper and baby powder to twerk for Ganandaz Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

@nickmangwana Hanti vanhu varikuti vasvike 2030? Apa the bill has support? Good. Endesai ku referendum coz am sure it will win the “yes” vote overwhelmingly 🤭

Beitbridge residents speak on #AmendmentBill3

@joseph_kalimbwe @Munash_Tondoya You think these leaders in SADC will learn? We need a mass burial of them in order to realize how it’s easier to get fuel from Angola

Fuel in Angola costs 300 Angolan Kwanza. Per litre, that’s; a) 6 Zambian Kwacha b) 3 Bots Pula c) 5 Namibian Dollar d) 32 Zim ZiG e) 5 SA Rands But as Africans, we buy fuel from Middle East & never thought to build refineries in Angola. Now the Iran war will teach us !!

@nickmangwana Preamble (Constitution of Zimbabwe): We the people of Zimbabwe.. it doesn’t say We the people of Zanu PF. Mukapabatisisa mungabatsirike

Defending the Constitution from what? From whom? The Constitution itself is not a fragile, passive thing that needs a vigilante posse. It is a robust legal framework that explicitly contains the mechanism for its own evolution heraldonline.co.zw/the-constituti…

MUTSVANGWA TELLS MNANGAGWA TO PURSUE 2030 AT HIS OWN RISK AS AGE AND COUP WALK TOGETHER.

Interesting

@joseph_kalimbwe Ah! The only fight we should have between Zambia and Zimbabwe is the ownership of Victoria Falls. Which by the way belongs to Zimbabwe! So there! Zambians come fight me!

So much hate between Zambians and Zimbabweans on Twitter lately. How did this even start comrades ? We are two nations that have existed side by side for decades. Our 4th Zambian President was born in Zim. The current Zim President is our Zambian raised son. Let there be love !

@PatieMusa This is the funniest post I have seen 😂😂😂!

Being broke with bills to pay will humble you 😭 I’m no longer praying for money—I’m now just asking the Lord to fast-track His second coming. This week would be great 🤦🏿‍♀️
