Spent the night in Germany. Offloaded in Luxembourg. Going to pick a load in France. Will probably be spending the night in Germany. I really need to be compensated for the times I spent at the different borders between African states

Rhode University's Vice-channcellor in South Africa 🇿🇦, Dr. Sizwe Mabizela contributes about R300,000 of his salary to poor students. He calls it Salary Sacrifice and has been doing that since 2014.

Dear @nickmangwana, I hope you have seen the pictures that have gone viral on social media showing Zimbabweans sleeping outside the Zimbabwean Consulate in Cape Town in winter temperatures running away from xenophobic harassment, hate and violence. Surely, as a government, you can do something to assist your own people in such circumstances. Imagine, Nick, if it were your wife and children sleeping outside in the Southern African winter, exposed to temperatures close to zero degrees. No reasonable person would find that acceptable. The government has the resources and the responsibility to intervene. At the very least, these Zimbabweans should not be left to sleep on the pavement in the cold. Why do we have to be so cruel to our own people? What is the purpose of having a government if it cannot step in when its citizens are in obvious distress? These are the same Zimbabweans who, in better times, send remittances back home that sustain families and contribute significantly to the country’s economy. I hope you will not simply look at these images and move on. I hope you will bring this matter to the attention of your principals and urge them to act. Sometimes I wonder whether President Emmerson Mnangagwa is fully aware of situations such as this, because I struggle to believe that any sane and compassionate leader could see fellow citizens enduring these conditions and simply carry on as if nothing is wrong. These people are not mere statistics. They are Zimbabweans. They deserve dignity, compassion, and assistance from the government that claims to represent them.

There will be cost

@SajeniMapuranga @CdeKnoxChivero @kerinamujati @LynneStactia @MviringiHosia @Jamwanda2 @MJairosi Its no longer political discourse, but military intimidation

@SajeniMapuranga @CdeKnoxChivero @kerinamujati @LynneStactia @MviringiHosia @Jamwanda2 @MJairosi But you are seeking to replace one dictatorship with another like in 2017. There’s no option that’s promising anything other than dictatorship with no principles. Without a principle centred option that documents its pillars, this would s a fight amongst thieving elites.

@SajeniMapuranga @CdeKnoxChivero @kerinamujati @LynneStactia @MviringiHosia @Jamwanda2 @MJairosi Noone is going to support your agenda. You aren't a constitutionalist, nor do you believe in the human rights of the people. Your only agenda is the ascendancy of your principal, Chiwenga. If you believed Chiwenga was going to benefit from CAB3, you wouldn't oppose it.

@dabskays Even me. I just feel something is about to happen that'll bring the whole nonsense to a screeching halt!

#Insticts Some things are not explainable, I rely on my instincts a lot. For example if I lose something such as car keys,wallet etc I rely ony instincts a lot, if I am not panicking I know that I will find the thing. If I receive bad news, I listen to those instincts again, even in business anyone who has scammed me, somehow my instincts had told me that this end badly. The day my dad died, I knew he was going to die, the day my mother died I was in Mutoko and when my cousin cycled over 10kms from Jekwa, Murehwa to tell me, I knew she was gone before he opened his mouth. A few months ago I had a near serious vehicle accident on R21 near Kempton Park,whilst my car was losing control I just knew it would be ok, I managed to stop and my pick up had a small scratch, the white man who had hit into me with his Ford Laser didn't stop and sped away. I also drove away nothing was affected except that scratch of paint. I just have a premonition that even though they have passed this CAB3, I am not upset at all, in my spirit I am so calm, something big is about to happen. I don't know what it is, but something will happen, I am so calm about all this.

@Muswatadzi @mawarirej @Devro_Amplified @NewsHawksLive @Chofamba @Laque_davis @DavidColtart @ibbosnr @freemufumiri @Jamwanda2 @SajeniMapuranga Our army has oiled the wheels of tyranny in Zimbabwe for a very long time!! A useless organization used by the elite to suppress the will of the people!!

This video really broke my heart. It is painful to watch, yet it reflects the reality of life for many ordinary Zimbabweans. The woman in the video is Zimbabwe’s Minister of ICT, Postal and Courier Services, Tatenda Mavetera, who is also a Member of Parliament. She is presiding over a dispute involving just US$300 that was allegedly meant to be passed on to someone else. What is striking is not the dispute itself, but the fact that this amount has become the centrepiece of a community gathering, with scores of people waiting anxiously because that money matters so much to them. Forty years ago, a Zimbabwean civil servant could earn around US$300 a month. Today, an entire community can be consumed by a dispute over that same amount. But the US$300 is not the real story. The real story is that people need money for hospital bills, food, clothing, school fees, transport, and countless other necessities. They are struggling to meet basic needs. That is why this issue has attracted such attention. At the centre of a community discussion being adjudicated by a Cabinet minister is an amount of money that can disappear in a single evening at a restaurant in London or Johannesburg. Yet for the people gathered here, that money means everything. This is what poverty looks like. This is what economic failure looks like. It is not measured by the luxury cars driven by a small elite, or by the mansions built in affluent suburbs. It is not hidden by people drilling private boreholes because public water systems no longer function, or installing solar systems because the national electricity supply is unreliable. Those are symptoms of dysfunction in themselves. The real measure of a country is the condition of the average citizen. And the average Zimbabwean is struggling. When people ask why Zimbabweans leave their country in such large numbers, this video provides part of the answer. They are not running away from Zimbabwe. They are running away from poverty, hardship, and the daily struggle to survive. Imagine the British Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, or South Africa’s Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, having to preside over a public dispute involving the equivalent of R5,800 or £220. It would be almost unimaginable. Yet in Zimbabwe, such a matter can become the focal point of an entire community. As Africans, we must be honest with ourselves. We cannot measure progress by the lifestyles of a tiny elite while the majority live in deprivation. A country is not successful because a few people drive expensive cars, travel abroad, or live comfortably. A country succeeds when ordinary people can afford food, healthcare, education, housing, and a dignified life. I might drive a nice car. I might own a beautiful home. I might travel the world and enjoy privileges that many can only dream of. But none of that says anything meaningful about the health of my country if the average child goes to bed hungry. The success of a nation is not measured by the wealth of its elite. It is measured by the wellbeing of its ordinary people. And that is the conversation Zimbabweans, and Africans more broadly, need to have. Other nations beyond Zimbabwe, beyond our continent, and people of other races will not respect us. Even if I turn up to a meeting in Harare driving a Bugatti or a Lamborghini to meet an investor from London, they will have a very dim view not only of my country, but of me as well. Driving a Lamborghini on pothole-ridden roads, they will look down on me as an individual and on my country as a nation. Nobody with genuine pride can honestly believe they are doing well when the average person is going to bed on an empty stomach.

Koos is cooking 😅😅

Welfare departments are for parties that are properly organised and run. Such parties can mobilise budgets to take care of their own in hard times. Parties or “movements” that belong in one man’s briefcase are hardly responsive to the needs of cadres and have no capacity to sustain a welfare programme beyond photo ops and intermittent assistance in random cases By losing its institutional existence under Nelson Chamisa’s leadership, the opposition lost its capacity to do the obvious things that it’s been able to do as a membership organisation for the past quarter of a century. Having a popular, charismatic leader but with no party is like having a fiery evangelist but no church: nhasi mapindira mutende, mangwana pasi pemuti, and so on. You cannot sustain any ongoing functions and programmes. The whole affair is a dog’s breakfast! Kurongeka ndihwo hutungamiri. gofund.me/7c9093644

About a few weeks ago, Jacqueline Sande’s Twitter handle was “Aspiring Dictator”. How are her aspirations aligning with defending the Constitution? 🤣🤣🤣

@PacheduZW Chiwenga is completely useless. Hence, the reasons why he is the only one still standing while brave men were eliminated one by one.

It is clear from today's judgements that term extension is illegal, what is also clear is that judiciary is lacking tenacity to tell ED 'Go go Baba'. If we are afraid to take to the streets then we also should not expect the judges to do it for us. Very uncomfortable, very dividing but we now need to call on the retired Generals, the opposition, the CDF, the teachers and you (yes iwewe) to take to the streets. To Chiwenga, don't speak at funerals, church events etc but come join the streets after all you too created this beasts. We are likely to end up with the cases being dismissed on useless technicalities.

@advocatemahere Whatever the case ngavadzondorane ikoko. Let's not forget kuti arikuvharirwa panze denied Tsvangirai his right to lead Zimbabwe. Dzinotungana dzemudanga

@zimlive Interference in business by a mafia. Mnangagwa fingerprints all over the place. Zvaendwa!
