new south africa is on another level,they addressed a serious sensitive issue with no fights but laughter .

There was a lady who started her PhD a year ahead of me. Eventually, she went for her qualifying exam. After her 30 mins presentation, she was questioned by the committee for another 1 hour and 30 minutes. One of the questions she was asked was: Where do transcription and translation take place in the cell? She missed the question completely. I think the committee was surprised because that was considered very basic science. At the end of the exam, she was asked to assess her own performance, which is a common practice. She rated herself very highly, and I think that became another concern for the committee because her performance had been considered poor. They probably expected a more honest self-evaluation. Sadly, she could not continue with the program after that. That was the end of her PhD journey there. But beyond her experience, I learned something important very quickly: never neglect the basics of science. It is easy to become so focused on complex ideas, advanced techniques, and “big” concepts that you overlook the simple foundations that hold everything together. After hearing that story, I intentionally went back to revisit my fundamentals. I downloaded materials, watched YouTube videos, and even refreshed my knowledge of statistics. Mind you, I had earned a distinction in Biostatistics…😁 Yet, I still realized there was more depth and clarity I needed. And interestingly, statistics was part of the questions I was eventually asked during my own exam. I think many people in science and academia become overly fascinated with complexity while underestimating the importance of truly understanding the basics. But the truth is, good science should be simple enough to explain clearly and understand deeply. We must pay more attention to the fundamentals because they are what truly make science solid.

Just dropping useless information here 😂😂😂good night folks

@PoliceZimbabwe So the police managed to announce arrests to the whole country, but somehow could not clearly state the actual charges? That silence is louder than the statement itself...ndirikubva kumusha izvezvi, kwakabiwa ngoma yasabhuku but manje vakaba varikutadza kuiridza pajekerere kkk

@nickmangwana Appointing a new AG is good for optics, but meaningless if audit reports continue to gather dust without adoption coz without acting on last reports is like fetching water using a fork. A lot of effort but zero results.Accountability is not in appointments,but in action

The Zimbabwe Indigenous Interdenominational Council of Churches (ZIICC), the main umbrella body representing indigenous christian apostolic, pentecostal, evangelical and other church denominations with a combined membership in excess of 8.7 million - making up over half of both the local national and christian population - says it supports the constitutional amendments which seek to change the political, electoral and governance systems, while elongating President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s tenure to 2030. ZIICC is chaired by Reverend Andrew Wutawunashe and its patron is Bishop Nehemiah Mutendi. This comes soon after the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops Conference and the Zimbabwe Council of Churches recently said they are opposed to the amendments. ZIICC said: "We the undersigned hereby make this submission on behalf of the Zimbabwe Indigenous Interdenominational Council of Churches (ZIICC), the main Umbrella Body representing Zimbabwean Indigenous Christian Apostolic, Pentecostal, Evangelical and other Church Denominations with a combined membership in excess of 8.7 million Zimbabweans, making up over half of both the national and Christian population of Zimbabwe. We submit this statement to the Parliament of the Republic of Zimbabwe in the matter of the Constitution of Zimbabwe (Amendment No. 3) H.B.1. Bill, 2026. We make this submission as shepherds of the people, as men and women of God who have walked with Zimbabwe's communities in times of struggle and in times of harvest, and who bear a sacred obligation to speak when the destiny of our land is being shaped. The Church has always been present at Zimbabwe's defining moments: in the liberation struggle, in the making of the 2013 Constitution, and in the building of the Second Republic." ZIICC continued: "There is a teaching that runs through the apostolic tradition, through the prophetic movements, and through the oldest streams of African Christianity in this land: that authority given by God must be exercised by those to whom it was given, and that to usurp that authority, however well-intentioned the usurper, is itself a violation of the divine order. The people of Zimbabwe gave their legislative authority to Parliament. They did so in 2013 when they made their Constitution; and they did so in 2023, through a free election conducted under universal adult suffrage, in accordance with the founding values of section 3(2)(b) of the Constitution. They elected their Senators and their Members of the National Assembly. They entrusted to those men and women the power to make law, to protect the Constitution, and to exercise legislative oversight in the national interest. The people of Zimbabwe discharged their democratic mandate. Parliament now carries that mandate forward in the name of and for the people. Section 117(1) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe 2013 declares that the legislative authority of Zimbabwe is derived from the people and is vested in and exercised in accordance with the Constitution by the Legislature. Section 117(2)(a) confirms that this legislative authority includes the power to amend the Constitution in accordance with section 328. Section 119(1) affirms that Parliament must protect the Constitution and promote democratic governance in Zimbabwe. Section 119(2) confirms that Parliament has power to ensure that the provisions of the Churches’ Submission in Support of The Constitution of Zimbabwe (Amendment No. 3) H.B.1, Bill, 2026 Page 3 of 11 Constitution are upheld and that the State and all institutions and agencies of government at every level act constitutionally and in the national interest. These are not technicalities. They are the constitutional expression of a truth that our communities have always understood: those entrusted with legislative authority must exercise it. Parliament was entrusted. Parliament must act."

@nickmangwana I had also thought that the submissions by the Zimbabwe Council of Churches and the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops’ Conference would be posted on your handle as you have done with ZIICC as a way of acknowledging their responses.

Summary of ZIICC Submission on Zimbabwe Constitutional Amendment No. 3 (2026) The Zimbabwe Indigenous Interdenominational Council of Churches (ZIICC), representing over 8.7 million members (more than half of Zimbabwe's population), has submitted formal support for the Constitution of Zimbabwe (Amendment No. 3) Bill, 2026 to Parliament. The churches affirm that Parliament holds exclusive constitutional authority to deliberate and pass this amendment, derived directly from the people through the 2013 Constitution and the 2023 elections. They argue that public participation requirements have been fulfilled and that no external body holds veto power over Parliament's legislative mandate. The submission grounds the amendment's extension of presidential and parliamentary terms from five to seven years in developmental necessity, citing Vision 2030 and the National Development Strategy disrupted by the 2019 political instability and COVID-19. The churches offer a theological rationale—the biblical Sabbath principle of seven-year cycles of work and restoration—noting that church leaders themselves first proposed a "seven-year political sabbath" in 2019. Key reforms supported include: transferring voter registration to the Registrar-General, replacing direct presidential elections with parliamentary election of the President (which they deem a "pastoral necessity" to reduce electoral violence), creating a dedicated Electoral Delimitation Commission, expanding Constitutional Court access, and restoring traditional leaders' political expression rights by repealing restrictions. Regarding the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission, whose constitutional mandate expired in 2023, the churches affirm its closure while committing to intensify church-led reconciliation work in partnership with government. The submission concludes by calling Parliament to pass the bill without intimidation, positioning the churches as active champions of national development programmes in their communities. #CAB3

@snowballOfficia U want Chinese-style political system without Chinese-style discipline, accountability & dvlpment. In China, the corrupt are executed. In Zim, “zvigananda” are protected & promoted. In Zim, exposing corruption is treated as treason, while defending corruption is called patriotism

In China 🇨🇳, there are 13 opposition parties. This is contrary to what I had heard before. However, these opposition groups choose to be constructive rather than destructive. They align themselves with national interests. It is important that opposition parties do not receive foreign funding, as this is considered treason. Opposition parties are also not allowed to speak badly about China while abroad. If Fadzayi Mahere, Job Sikhala, or Blessed Mlanga were Chinese citizens, they would have been charged with treason.

WATCH | Archbishop Dr. Andby Makururu, who claimed that the Holy Spirit revealed the #CAB3 bill to him in the 1980s, yesterday visited the New Parliament Building in Harare to deliver a box full of petitions from his church members supporting the bill. He said previous election periods in Zimbabwe were marked by toxicity, divisions, and violence, which he believes have slowed down the country’s economic development.

𝗚𝗢𝗟𝗗 𝗦𝗠𝗨𝗚𝗚𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗥𝗢𝗕𝗕𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗭𝗜𝗠𝗕𝗔𝗕𝗪𝗘. Since sanctions were removed from Zimbabwe in March 2024, the Reserve Bank’s Fidelity Printers and Refineries (FPR) should have reverted to being the only entity allowed to export our gold. This would ensure that 10% royalties are paid on all gold when prices are above $5,000 per ounce, while the Reserve Bank pays producers 30% of their revenue in local currency to retain much-needed foreign currency, leaving more value — about 15% of total exports — in government coffers. However, our gold continues to be flown out of the country on private jets without passing through Fidelity. This robs the state of about 15% in fees and deprives it of a critical mechanism to generate more foreign reserves from raw mineral exports. As a consequence, the nation perpetually suffers from foreign currency shortages. In 2025 our government announced that Zimbabwe exported $1.9 billion worth of gold. Meanwhile, Dubai and Rand Refinery declared more than $8 billion worth of gold imports from Zimbabwe during the same period. These illicit flows of wealth out of the country are a result of private individuals exporting gold instead of Fidelity. This was not an issue when Zimbabwe was under sanctions because Fidelity, as a government entity, could not export gold and receive US dollar transfers due to the fact that US banks were prohibited from clearing payments to Zimbabwean government institutions. Nonetheless, since 4 March 2024, Zimbabwean government institutions were removed from sanctions. Consequently, Fidelity should revert to being the only institution exporting our gold, while MMCZ should be the sole exporter of our minerals, to prevent government losses through under-invoicing and transfer pricing. This is the very reason these institutions were established in the first place. One major reason President Mnangagwa stubbornly refuses to acknowledge that sanctions on the government were removed in 2024, is to provide himself and his cronies with cover to continue smuggling gold without taking it through the Reserve Bank. Yet the very reason the President was placed under Magnitsky sanctions, is because the Americans accuse him of corruption in the form of gold and diamond smuggling, as well as serious human rights abuses, which we are now witnessing due to CAB3. Another major issue is that Fidelity possesses state-of-the-art gold refining equipment that enables it to produce world-grade bullion. However, in 2009 it lost its membership in the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) after producing less than the required 10 tonnes per year. This resulted in Fidelity losing its LBMA bullion-grade certification. But instead of Mnangagwa pushing for Fidelity to rejoin the LBMA since sanctions were removed — to enable Fidelity to begin producing certified gold bullion that Zimbabwe could sell directly on the market without relying on a Dubai refinery, or more critically, use it as collateral in foreign banks to secure loans worth up to ten times the value of the gold in order to pay our debts — and instead of positioning Zimbabwe to refine gold from Congo, Zambia, and the 48 other African countries that don’t have refineries to earn the massive smelting profits generated during the Chidzero and Tsimba era, the Mnangagwa administration chose not to re-register Fidelity with the LBMA. As a result, the nation is losing out on gold smelting revenues, royalties, and gold-backed loans that could be used to repay sovereign debt, drive infrastructure projects, and strengthen the balance of payments. The reason the President does not want Fidelity to rejoin the LBMA is because his family is now among the top three largest gold producers in Zimbabwe, and by exporting gold directly to Dubai without going through Fidelity, they pocket over 19% of the royalties while avoiding remitting the 30% foreign currency to the Reserve Bank. These are some of the reasons why I say no to 2030.

On Friday, George Charamba posted a video of Julius Malema warning President Ramaphosa that he must listen more to those who criticize him and not those who tell him that he is right when he is wrong. Malema also went on to warn the President not to ignore Chapter 9 institutions (in Zimbabwe we call them Chapter 12 institutions) and that he must not work with UNELECTED capitalists as Zuma worked with unelected Guptas, because then he might not finish his term. The message is no different to the allegory of Hezekiah. I wonder what Mabiza will do…🙊🙊🙊🙊
