Varakashi,
I don't oppose @edmnangagwa because of who he is as a person; I oppose him for what he stands for and what he does not stand for as an illegal State House occupant. He stands for himself, his family, his clan and his cronies. He does not stand for Zimbabwean citizens!

Team Pachedu says it has received reliable information that the people behind CAB3 have released large amounts of money to promote their message.
In the coming days, many social media influencers, musicians, journalists, students, and lawyers may start creating and sharing content that supports ZANU PF and promotes the CAB3 agenda.
Reports say that big amounts of money, between US$50,000 and US$80,000, may be given to influential people. The public should be ready for a strong wave of coordinated messaging and propaganda across different platforms.

Zimbabwean Member of Parliament for Chinhoyi, Leslie Mhangwa, was speaking at a Workers’ Day event when the microphone was rudely taken away from him by ZANUPF thugs who are part of the intelligence infrastructure. He was saved by members of the public who were listening to his address.
Now, if a Member of Parliament is not allowed to speak at a public event addressing issues that are affecting workers, and the microphone is violently taken away from him simply because he has said that the inflation rate is not matching wage increases, and that is seen as a threat to the government of the day, what kind of society has Zimbabwe become?
What about an ordinary person like myself or others? What would happen to us if this can happen to an elected official, a Member of Parliament who is speaking to the constituents who elected him, yet is not allowed to do so?
These are the things that have turned Zimbabwe into a banana republic. These are the actions that continue to delegitimise our country’s standing internationally. You cannot have mob justice. You cannot have a mob turning up at an official event where a Member of Parliament has been given the floor to speak and is then treated like this.

Zimbabwean opposition politician Job Sikhala is due in court tomorrow in South Africa after his arrest in November in Pretoria, following an alleged setup in which explosives were found hidden in his uncle’s car in which he was travelling.
The irony, according to his lawyers, is that when the vehicle was stopped, South African police officers moved swiftly to handcuff Sikhala, who was a passenger, while leaving his uncle, the driver and owner of the car, unhandcuffed. They argue that in normal circumstances, the driver and owner of the vehicle would have been treated as the primary suspect, and that this conduct suggests that the operation was targeted specifically at Sikhala.
The South African court has given the police until tomorrow’s hearing to conclude the matter, failing which the case risks being dismissed.
Very senior officials within the South African police have indicated that Sikhala’s case appears to have been a trap. Job Sikhala has been arrested 68 times in Zimbabwe without a single conviction.
Calling on all Zimbabweans who have time tomorrow to go and give him moral support to the brother.

Reject CAB3❌| Share, Speak, Reject.
1. The President’s term is extended from 5 to 7 years without people voting, and he could stay in power until 2030 or longer.
2. Citizens may lose the right to directly vote for the President, as leaders could be chosen by MPs and Senators instead.
3. Control of elections may shift to the ruling party, reducing independence and fairness.
4. The President can add more appointed members to the Senate, giving the ruling party more power to pass changes.
5. The army’s duty to protect the Constitution is removed, which could make abuse of power easier.
6. Independent commissions are removed, giving more power to the President and reducing oversight.

In politics, actions are words, and those actions are meant to speak louder than actual words.
By Ramaphosa coming to Zimbabwe to visit President Mnangagwa on a Sunday—after a week in which South Africans were protesting vehemently against foreigners, in a country where Zimbabweans constitute 40% of immigrants, and where the Ramaphosa government did not stop the protests—a week in which the former head of the army and Vice President gave an allegory about how King Hezekiah spent the rest of his years in prison after asking God to prolong his life, and immediately there were calls for his dismissal—it is clear that the visit illustrates an urgent attempt by President Ramaphosa to mediate a dangerous rift between the Vice President and the President that could fracture Zimbabwe and destabilize the whole region.
Ramaphosa is here to say to our President: you need to fix your house by uniting and stop making reckless decisions that could destabilize the country and region by displacing more of your people into a volatile South Africa.
It is clear that Zimbabwe is on the brink of another coup because of the reckless attempts by the President and his advisors to force-change the constitution in order for the current President to halt the ascendancy of Vice President Chiwenga. But that is not being taken lying down by the thousands of men and women who fought behind Chiwenga in Mozambique, Congo, and Angola and did peacekeeping in Sudan, Somalia and Chad, despite attempts to manipulate the leadership of the army.
How do we know this is the case? We know it from history, because just before the coup against Mugabe in 2017, Thabo Mbeki came to meet and warn Mugabe’s G40 that the military was not happy with their moves, and they did not take heed.
As a result of this failure, Thabo Mbeki has lost the respect that Zimbabweans used to have for him as a mediator; this is why Ramaphosa himself, as the President of the most powerful economy in Africa, had to come to try and speak sense into his counterpart, who is on the brink of causing the biggest instability in this region since apartheid.
Some say Ramaphosa is here to ask for money for the ANC’s election campaign, but the timing is not conducive for that, especially after the Ghanaian government has been loudly opposing the protests against foreigners in South Africa.
This visit is more a sign of a crisis than a friendly meeting between two leaders. Despite the South African government allowing protests against African foreigners—sending a loud message to leaders who mismanage their countries and displace refugees—Ramaphosa was compelled to come to Zimbabwe, the very country this message is mainly directed at, to avert an existential crisis that could spill even more Zimbabwean refugees into South Africa.
Another fact that proves this theory is had Ramaphosa come to ask for money on behalf for the ANC, other ANC leaders like the SG Fikile Mbalula would have come along, but he came alone. Additionally, South African government officials wouldn’t have leaked the information of the trip if it was not a sign of a crisis. Zimbabwe is at the brink and we hope leadership will prevail over self-interest.

Understanding diplomacy tells us that an African superpower like South Africa has no other plausible reason to have its President visit and associate with a President who is alleged violating human rights, arresting opposition, burning the opposition offices and arresting the opposition to try and force a change to the constitution in order to extend his term in office, except for mediation of a crisis.
Being in Zimbabwe for any other reason at this contentious time would simply erode South Africa’s position in regional and continental politics. I don’t think Ramaphosa and the South Africans are that reckless and incompetent.
