This afternoon in Parliament I made a point of National interest on the unfair and unjust exponential rise in fuel and called on the Minister of Energy and Power development to give a Ministerial statement on Tuesday without fail

There is a fuel mafia that is disproportionately increasing our energy prices taking advantage of the war in the Middle East. We shall get to the bottom of this

20 years ago on this day I won my election to be President of the University of East London’s Students Union, becoming the first black person to do so; 20 years on I’m still in politics.

The battle for the control of ZBC is about money. It has gotten worse after the approval of mandatory ZBC license fees now collected when motorists license their vehicles through Zinara. The attempts to smear Heliet Rushwaya by a known Herald staffer who once worked for the Zimbabwe Independent was a poor hatchet job for Minister Muswere who got removed from the feeding trough after working hard to make sure motorists are forced to pay the mandatory licence fees. Muswere even bribed a CCC legislator who was in the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Information, Media & Broadcasting Services. The MP had earlier on fought the licence fees. There is money involved there. It's a new feeding point for Zvigananda. In December, 180 320 vehicles paid radio licenses. This is easily $5 048 960 collected. In January 2026, 196 310 vehicles paid for radio licenses, raking in $5 496 680 to ZBC, BAZ, the Vendor who owns the System, Transmedia and a 5th recipient which documents don't mention but refer to as "UNKNOWN". Public funds are collected and 4% of the funds, in the case of January 2026, $219 867, went to someone only referred to in official documents as "uknown". That's the Zimbabwe under @edmnangagwa, a crime scene. It means this "UNKNOWN" person or entity collects around $2.6 million a year from ZBC licences and authorities never dare tell us who this is and why is he/she collecting that money? This is most likely the conduit through which the former Minister was syphoning money from the licences. The licence money is split like this: 15% goes to the Vendor, the company owning the platform used to collect the fees. The Vendor is not Zinara. 4 % goes to the UNKNOWN entity while ZBC, Transmedia & BAZ share 81 % after Zimra has collected its taxes. So there is now a lot of money from licence fees. I have seen journalists talking about $10m, there is a lot of money hence the fight we saw by Jenfan Muswere who did everything, including bribing a Marondera based CCC MP with more than $20k, to make sure the legislation to expedite this looting through ZBC licenses sailed through parliament. But the Minister does not loot all the money from ZBC, he takes from Transmedia and BAZ as well as from the UNKNOWN entity that collects 4 % of the ZBC licence fees forced on motorists. Recently, Muswere tried to send his acolyte to SA to "buy" content. The runner came back claiming to have clinched a $2 million content deal. This was shot down by the board which insisted that our content has to be local, as per the content legislation and that it was not in the best interest of the media industry in Zimbabwe for ZBC to throw in $2million into the SA media industry when that money could be used to pay local content producers. That's what riled Muswere who reacted by attempting to fire the board. So Zimbabweans have to wake up. Our country is being looted by this Mafidi dynasty and its bootlickers.

According to ZimLive, former Information Minister Jenfan Muswere reportedly tried to fire ZBC board chairperson Helliate Rushwaya, who is President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s niece (as reported by The NewsHawks). However, Muswere was forced to change his decision after Mnangagwa allegedly stepped in while he was in Dubai. Reports say Muswere had already told The Herald to publish a story announcing Rushwaya’s dismissal. The newspaper printed about 3,000 copies, but Muswere later ordered them to be destroyed after Mnangagwa refused to approve the firing. Just a few days later, Muswere was removed from his job and replaced by Zhemu Soda, who is now the Minister of Information. Link to the full story available below!

Mines Ministry receives Public Accounts Committee ultimatum over Apple Bridge Investment’s financial discrepancies The Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee has ordered the Mines Ministry Permanent Secretary Pfungwa Kunaka to submit Apple Bridge Investment minutes of board meetings and relevant documents showing its business transactions by Friday this week. Committee Chairperson and Marondera Central Member of Parliament Caston Matewu told our news Reporter Sifiso Mapuranga that the committee realised that the former Mines and Mining Development Ministry Permanent Secretary Francis Gudyanga was also Board Chair of the company and together with ministry officials were signatories without authority permitting business transactions. This comes after Apple Bridge Investments, a company linked to the Ministry failed to submit its financial statements to the Auditor General in the last 10-years after borrowing about $1 million United States dollars from the Central Bank.

Good Evening Marondera The proposed amendments to the Constitution are far reaching, with multiple provisions that touch on our democratic governance. I cannot instill my own views as that will be detrimental to you the people I so represent; therefore I will call for a Constituency meeting to ascertain your views and opinions on the Bill once it is gazetted; your views will form and inform my debate I thank you Hon C Matewu

Whenever the animals notice that the pigs are taking extra rations (like the milk and apples) or breaking the Seven Commandments, Squealer uses a three-step rhetorical move:  1Scientific Justification: He claims the pigs need the luxury for their "brainwork" to keep the farm running. 2The Threat of Failure:

 He argues that if the pigs fail, the farm will collapse. 3The Ultimate Boogeyman: He asks the terrifying question: "Surely, comrades, you do not want Jones back?"
