The statement by the Zimbabwe Council of Churches speaks to the heart of nationalism, the desire to see one's country prosper irrespective of attendant dangers once one takes that route. It is a complete departure from religious clientelism, tribal, nepotistic & usury antics that we saw displayed by Bishop Mutendi who has been receiving trinkets from the regime for exchange of political endorsement disguised as religious guidance. The ZCC statement clearly recognizes that national development, which the bill purports to protect and advance, is a result of "strong institutions not long incumbency". Clearly, what ED has done in Zimbabwe is to destroy institutions & build clientele vigilante groups everywhere. You have these vigilante groups even in the judiciary where a coterie of lawyers, mostly of Karanga extraction, bribing, intimidating & unduly influencing judgements in courts while also serving as advisors to the president on how to subvert the constitution. The ZCC says if we want national development, let's build strong institutions not outlandish cult of personality that has been built around ED. The claims that ED& ED alone can lead this country to economic development is the kind of nonsense that #CAB3 wants to advance. It is that nonsense that the ZCC statement says will erode ED's legacy, if at all he has any semblance of a good legacy to protect. The ZCC says the outlandish cult of personality built around & signified by calls to extend ED's term eats into national stability & brings about long incumbency which is not a sign of stability but a result of the destruction of national institutions that are meant to provide mechanisms for leadership renewal. That is a very strong submission by the church, a solid position taken by men and women who know their role as watchers (Ezekial 3:17).

Africa holds roughly 60% of the world's uncultivated arable land, if fully utilized its global crop land share could jump to around 40%. Unfortunately the people at the helm are incorrigible thieves who persue self enrichment instead of managing our resources.

China has allocated 62.5 billion yuan (about $9.1 billion) in new ultra-long special treasury bonds to fund consumer goods trade-in programs in 2026. This marks the second batch of funds raised through such bonds for the programs this year, and has been earmarked to various regions recently, the National Development and Reform Commission said in a statement.

Delivery by road is not sustainable, even for trials. They should start off with rail as minimum before pipeline is constructed.

Which world are you living in? It was broadcast on state media back then, whether or not it was above aboard is another story.

With my Form 2 maths & geography, 50 000 tonnes of chilli peppers won't generate a billion. The average price of chilli peppers in Chinese markets doesn't exceed $2000 equivalent per tonne. How will that same market buy chillies at over 10 times that? The headline mentions up to 50 000 tonnes but in your statement you have doubled the # to 100 000 tonnes & it still won't give you a billion dollars from Chinese markets...

@MC_frnk What are you smoking? Kovacic can't even start for Leeds, they wouldn't even get him on a free.

Rodri - kovacic midfield pivot might low key cook next season. He’s better than before

Don't say "whoever is benefiting" when you know the people benefiting from this heist.

WATCH | A disturbing video shows city council officers appearing to confiscate a wheelchair belonging to a disabled man. In the video, the man can be heard asking why they are taking his only means of movement and loading it onto their truck. ZRP officers were also present at the scene.

@MC_frnk If you want to hand over the title to Arsenal.

Sadly he goes back to the bench when Dias comes back 🥲

Envy not!

@SajeniMapuranga @freemufumiri @BlessedGeza @kerinamujati @LynneStactia @MartinTarusenga In 2008 the opposition won , who stole the people's mandate? The architects of the 2017 coup stole another election in 2018 & murdered people in broad daylight 2019 they murdered again 2023 another stolen election & they couldn't defend the constitution The regime is anti people

I am a soldier. I deal in facts, in patterns, and in the kind of institutional pattern analysis that a lifetime of military intelligence work teaches you to apply when something does not add up. Something does not add up. And I will not pretend otherwise simply because saying so makes powerful people uncomfortable. Nelson Chamisa is the most recognisable opposition figure in Zimbabwe. He is a man who built his entire political identity on the promise of democratic resistance on the proposition that he and his movement stood between the Zimbabwean people and the permanent entrenchment of one-party political dominance. Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 is the most consequential assault on Zimbabwe's democratic architecture since the Constitution was adopted in 2013. It proposes to remove the direct popular presidential vote. It proposes to extend the presidential term. It proposes to restructure the relationship between the executive and the legislature in ways that by any honest constitutional assessment concentrate power rather than distribute it. This is precisely the kind of moment that Nelson Chamisa's entire political career was supposedly building toward. This is the hill that the opposition was always supposed to die on loudly, visibly, and with the full mobilisation of every democratic resource at its disposal. Where is Nelson Chamisa? Not a major speech. Not a sustained public campaign. Not the kind of front-line democratic resistance that CAB3 demands and that Chamisa's own political biography would lead every reasonable observer to expect. Silence. Measured, conspicuous, and to those of us who study political behaviour for a living deeply, troublingly meaningful silence. In military intelligence we have a term for the absence of expected activity in a known operational area. We call it a tactical withdrawal. And tactical withdrawals do not happen without a reason.When an actor who has consistently and loudly occupied a political space suddenly vacates that space precisely when the stakes in that space are at their highest the intelligence analyst's first question is never "perhaps they simply changed their mind."The first question is: what changed? What changed for Nelson Chamisa between his years of loud, sustained, front-line democratic resistance and his current studied silence on the most important constitutional question Zimbabwe has faced in a generation? I am not a court of law. I am not a prosecutor. I am not in a position to answer that question definitively and I will not pretend otherwise. But I am a Zimbabwean soldier who swore an oath to this republic. And that oath requires me to ask the question publicly loudly, on the record, and without apology. What changed, Mr. Chamisa? What silenced you? The CAB3 process is happening within that environment. And within that environment, questions about who is being resourced to do what and who is being resourced to do nothing are not paranoid conspiracy theorising. They are legitimate, necessary, urgent questions of democratic accountability. I am aware that documents are circulating. I am aware that allegations are being made in various quarters about the financial dimensions of certain political actors' behaviour around CAB3. Today I am in a position to verify those documents or those allegations independently. But I am in a position and I feel the obligation to say this A huge corruption deal has caused democratic backsliding in zimbabwe which is aiding CAB3 . This was achieved by bribing of a top opposition leader Nero chamisa who recieved a staggering amount to the tune of 5million dolars and necessitated /laundered by one of the top law firms in zimbabwe. Not speaking about the US$20 million that Nelson Chamisa pocketed as a pay off to go on a forced sabatical and move go mute on active politics until 2030 . The “Gods” have favoured mukomana apart from the $20million
