@iAmKudaMaynard - do you want me to jog your memory then? Saying mukoma mukoma privately while looking for help & publicly you deny this while launching gratuitous attacks to massage your ego! This is not my style, but you forced me since you were pretending to forget it happened!

Dear Citizens The five points below are very important. 1. We the citizens - the supporters and followers of our leader President @nelsonchamisa are very clear and content with the agenda that was outlined by our leader. There are people who peddle a narrow ZANU-PF factional agenda who want to force our President to participate in their narrow agenda. They are demanding from our leader what they are not demanding from their own leader. Their leader is dead silent. They accept the silence of their leader but demand the speech of our leader. 2. Citizens, these people have gone all out to spread a lot of lies and create stories about our President in order to force him to fight their own narrow agenda. Our leader is clear and firm on our agenda 2026. He is no pushover at all. However, he has always been open to engage in any discussion of national interest to address the governance crisis. It does not start today with CAB3, No 3. While our leader is against CAB3 and has always publicly said NOTO2030, we clearly understand that the problem in this country is not CAB3. The bill is just a sympton of the Crisis of Governance that has destroyed Zimbabwe. The fight against the bill should be approached from this understanding and as part of our broad citizen fight not as the solution. Don't be made to believe that this bill alone will answer our citizen problems. Fighting against the Bill alone without fighting against the broad crisis of governance will not yield anything. Those trying to make you believe that it all starts and ends with CAB3 are crooks. We have been here before. Once bitten twice shy. 4. The stolen 2018 and 2023 elections are the same or worse than CAB3; the removal of duly elected people’s representatives (MPs and Councilors) is same or worse than CAB3; the murder and harassment of innocent citizen movement leaders is same or worse than CAB3; the abuse of civil servants is worse or same with CAB3. The take over of the citizen organisation CCC is a serious bastardization of the constitution. Anyone who wants you to focus on CAB3 only and ignore this is a wolve in a sheepskin. Anyone who wants you to believe that an election date is more important than the actual vote you made in 2023 and will make in 2028 that never counts is a crook. They were there when all this was happening and did not defend the constitution. They never said a word. Some of them participated and are responsible for this bastardization of the same constitution. They are not genuinely interested in the rights and freedoms of the citizens. They just want to take political power to continue oppresing us. 5. Citizens, let's be clear about our problem. Our problem is that we are under an oppressive governance crisis created by ZANU-PF. This crisis used to target only opposition citizens but is now affecting even those who used to be safe in ZANU-PF. That's why our position has always been that the solution to this problem is a political settlement that leads to a comprehensive reform agenda agreed to by all Zimbabweans so that the country can have a genuine fresh start. We should not be forced to ignore the real citizen issues by people who only feel the pain of CAB3. They are only tasting suffering now, we have been suffering ever since, under their watch. They must acknowledge our own suffering and work with us for a genuinely free country for all. We are not going to fight to replace one oppressor with another. That's not our fight, sorry. Citizens, is this not simple, clear and fair? Thank you.

All this from a guy who got “sent” to end the GNU by forcing 2013 elections before reforms. What a joke! I know an enabler when I see one nxa😏

SAUL JUDGED, DAVID ENTHRONED.. “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to one of your neighbors—to one better than you.” 1 Samuel 15:28 Remember, after Saul was judged, David was physically enthroned! What God ordains spiritually will eventually manifest physically. Faithful is His name. Blessed Sabbath. #Godisinit~nc

Responding to Jealousy Mawarire's Post Via Ibbo Mandaza! *Warning - Very Very Very Long Read - No Point Reading It If You Do Not Have The Patience* a. As he responded to my post while knowing he blocked me for challenging him about how the regime used him to front that infamous 2013 choreographed case which collapsed the GNU, I have chosen to respond to him via Prof Mandaza, as I know that they refer to each other as in-laws & that "Yohwe!" comment says it all. b. My post was not directed at Jealousy, so I am not sure about his locus standi in this saga, unless if he has been appointed Hopewell's spokesperson, but it's telling that Hopewell was not courageous enough to set the record straight by himself. c. I will get straight to the point. I appreciate him vicariously confirming the accuracy of what I had posted. Where he has gotten it wrong epically is my source. d. He has assumed, without any shred of evidence, that my source of @nelsonchamisa, who has then gone on to catch strays. e. I have got several credible sources. I use tri-angulation when it comes to sources, meaning a minimum of three totally unrelated parties & have a high threshold for posting anything sensitive. f. Given my profession, what I post must be capable of corroboration. There cannot be recklessness. It has to be done responsibly. g. In this particular instance, I will just cite one of them. That source is a non-political figure. They allege that they were horrified & felt aghast in a certain social setting when Hopewell suddenly made the phone call, spoke to her at length within earshot, discussing all manner of things (The First Lady), and then said "Mhamha vari kuda kutaura nemi." h. That is as far as I can go without exposing my source. So there it is, all you have done is simply confirm the accuracy of what I posted before going on to expose your own, & Hopewell's absence of rigour & personal hatred of Chamisa. i. You are clearly both dismissive of my own agency & nous in generating my own sources within my personal & professional circles. j. For what it's worth, that desperate, long winded drivel you have woven is classic Hopewell rumour mongering / whispering campaigns at it's best / worst depending on one's take. You must remember you are addressing an experienced Lawyer, not a lay person. You can pass that off at kindergarten level. k. There are simply too many holes in it. Typically, everything is nameless, the Seller, the name of the Farm, the name of the fictionalised human rights lawyer, the law firm, and there is conveniently no trace of the money. l. It's about narrative peddling. It need not be credible. It's just unleashed into the social media bubble to achieve character assassination, just like that ED saga that Hopewell, Ali Naka & Hwende infamously fed @ibbosnr. m. Do you think Zimbos are that gullible? And why would you, Hopewell & others protect Chamisa? Why would you not rub your hands with glee & seize the moment to unleash the evidence to the nation - which evidence would surely be guaranteed to achieve your holy grail - sensationally bringing the curtain down on Chamisa's political career? Could you truly resist the urge to do so, to twist the knife, if you genuinely had any such evidence Jealousy? Is that credible? n. For what it's worth, Chamisa has dismissed Hopewell's account as utter fiction, cheap politicking & a figment of his own imagination fabricated to feed his own desperately fragile ego. p. I can assure you that if any such evidence existed, was brought to my attention & stood up to scrutiny, I would join hands with other patriots to draw a line & condemn Chamisa. It's also what I told Prof Ibbo Mandaza in the wake of Ali Naka's amateurish sting op that I have referred to above. q. I would also pose the question - is it remotely credible for Chamisa to be in possession of US$1 million & for the omni-present regime to miss the footprints of this & a golden opportunity to nail Chamisa once & for all on charges that could actually stick? Between the fictionalised Human Rights Lawyer, the non-existent Seller, Jealousy, Hopewell, employees at the Law Firm etc poshaya anyone who alerts the Charlie 10s or the Police? What Is My Gripe? i. Exposing Hopewell's pettiness, intellectual fragility, vacuousness, duplicitousness, rank hypocrisy & penchant for gossiping as well as to hold him to account for his inconsistencies & the devastating consequences they have wrought to our political landscape, especially during key political events in Zimbabwe's history. ii. This must be arrested so that the cycle can be broken, to enable sanity to prevail. The more our people know about his antics, they more they are better equipped to resist falling victim to them and also, perhaps the more likely he is to be discouraged from doing it again. Previous History 1. We were actually previously good friends. He has previously sought legal advice from me, which is covered by legal privilege. I also had a fantastic relationship with his deceased brother, & we share mutual friends across the board. 2. We fell out in the immediate aftermath of the August 2023 elections when I publicly disagreed with him vehemently about what I considered to be biased & lop sided analysis concerning what had transpired, including the Tshabangu saga. 3. I will share the post that resulted in our falling out later. Before blocking me, rather than standing his ground intellectually, he falsely accused me of being dishonest, lied that he had tried to call me to talk about it, accused me of drafting "compositions," using AI (meaning I was misrepresenting what I wrote, falsely claiming it as my own), was a wannabe Magaisa, I wanted to steal his followers & was Chamisa's bootlicker. 4. That is the level of pettiness & insecurity we are talking about. The Magaisa jibe is actually a sore point because not only where we close friends since 1999, but unbeknown to Hopewell & many of his lackeys, I worked with him closely personally & professionally, and actually had the honour of being asked to edit his work - which he was grateful for - all of which can be proven digitally! 5. If I wanted, I could have commenced litigation against him. It is actually still open to me. It was a clear attempt at bullying, harassing, humiliating & silencing me - and many young X users have been inspired by Hopewell to use that jibe! 6. Why would one not be comfortable in their own skin if they have gone to study Law at UZ on merit, practised law in Zim, study for a Masters in Law at Leeds Uni, a top 10 Uni in the UK, practised law in the UK, including running one's own Firm for nearly 20 years, appear as an Advocate in courts in the UK for over 20 years, & set up multiple businesses while also having represented many acclaimed & high value clients? Would that be the kind of convo one would expect to have with a multi-award winning journalist? Hopewell The Wrecking Ball & Duplicitous Character - Using The Coup, August 2023 Elections & Agenda 2030 As The Backdrops a. Despite his many accomplishments, Hopewell is not comfortable in his own skin, and he is certainly not a professional journalist. He retains an abiding ambition to be a politician in his own right. b. When he feels cornered intellectually, he panics & goes personal. He lacks the confidence of staying on course & fighting his way out in a coherent, articulate & persuasive manner. c. Hopewell uses ghost accounts to launch vicious attacks on those he would have blocked & fallen out with. I personally experienced this when his Murewa X ghost account was exposed. d. I say he has got personal ambitions to enter politics because, in the lead up to the August 2023 elections, he called me while he was in Paris. After a while, he paused & asked: "Saka Chamisa ari kumboti chii mazuvano?" trying to dig out some gossip material. e. After he saw that I was not playing ball, he then proposed setting up a political party, saying this had Tendai Biti's blessing - and that of other intellectuals. f. It must be acknowledged that there is nothing wrong with this. It's just that he has to be honest about it, so that when he criticises others, it will be clear that he has got vested interests & also so that he can be held to account on that basis. g. He defo tried this with the GIE project, but he quickly retreated when he received fierce backlash for this. He did not have the backbone to see it through. The Coup Of November 2017 1. During the coup, Hopewell fiercely backed ED & the coup regime that emerged after it. After the coup, he continued to write pro-regime propaganda for considerable periods of time. 2. When he has been asked why he not only supported the coup but went to do PR for it, he argues that while he apologises for doing so, we should all remember that even the opposition supported it as well, but he does not claim his own agency & state in intellectual terms what the attraction was to him as a multi-award winning journalist. 3. He maintained a close personal relationship with the ZEC Chairperson, openly defending her when she was attacked for her alleged affair with Winston Chitando. Even to this day, he rarely criticises her or does so in a restrained manner. 4. He claims to have stopped supported ED at some point but it is not clear when this was so. His deceased brother did disclose that Hopewell's family have been staunch ZANU PF supporters for many years in Murehwa where they hail from, & have extensive, enduring ties. Out of respect to him, I will leave it there. 5. While Hopewell claims that the regime offered him the ZBC Board Chairperson position & turned it down, regime sources allege otherwise. 6. They sensationally allege that Hopewell had actually earmarked Nick Mangwana's post. They argue that there was actually a meeting attended by Hopewell, Chiwenga, ED & a certain figure who is an Author by Profession. 7. Hopewell allegedly disclosed certain sensitive information in that meeting & that was his downfall. It is alleged that it is Chiwenga who allegedly pointed out that if he could betray those he had worked with for so long in such a cavalier fashion, then he could not be relied upon to keep his counsel in equally sensitive assignments for the regime. 8. So the narrative here is that it is the regime that pulled the plug and not the other way as Hopewell claims. 9. This is important, given that I have repeatedly posed the question of what Hopewell's motivation was for choosing to do PR for the regime & that we have not been provided with a credible explanation by Hopewell himself all these years. Once thing is certain though, we all know that Hopewell was not doing that out of benevolence. 10. He was not born yesterday and he certainly knew Chiwenga & ED's chequered history at that point and, despite this, he was comfortable with not only supporting them in general terms, but going over & beyond through doing PR - and this despite knowing that the Constitution had been butchered & many atrocities had been committed. The August 2023 Elections a. It is unclear at what point Hopewell stopped supporting the coup government. However, he ended up being very close to Chamisa & other opposition figures, including Tendai Biti. b. He also occupied a strategic role, and managed to become an integral part of the fundraising team, particularly in relation to "map polling." c. He initially supported "Strategic Ambiguity," in line with his June 2022 post on X, which applauds Chamisa on account of the fact that ZANU PF goons were struggling to identify who to target. d. The turning point in Hopewell's relationship with Chamisa appears to be when Biti lost to Markham via "Bereka Mwana" during the internal party MP prospective candidate polls. e. From that point onwards, he effectively converted his X account into a Biti mouthpiece. He openly campaigned for Chamisa to intervene & appoint Biti as the candidate for that constituency. f. Once this fell on deaf ears, he went into overdrive, at one point falsely stating that there were no structures in Chimanimani & no candidates would be fielded. g. Other flashpoints involved trying to blame Chamisa for the 12 Bulawayo candidates debacle, the economic policy & many other instances, including one where he infamously insinuated that Chamisa attributed some of his decisions to "Mweya Mutsvene." h. After the elections, he went after him relentlessly, holding him culpable for the loss, despite it being a sham election, citing a lack of collective leadership, the absence of a Constitution & Structures, Strategic Ambiguity, absence of Polling Agents etc. He then suggested that there was no point in challenging the sham election & people should simply move on. i. He quickly embraced Tshabangu, whom some of us fiercely argued was ED's proxy fronting the 2030 Agenda / presidential term extension. He insisted he had genuine grievances & was representing senior CCC MPs whom he had met, all the wile relentlessly attacking Chamisa! j. In the end, once it became increasingly clear that his narrative could not be sustained in light of what was transpiring with the by-elections, Hopewell quickly changed tack without acknowledging his role in legitimising Tshabangu's regime enabled antics. k. Tshabangu repeatedly stated that he was working with Biti, Ncube, Hwende & others but Hopewell never once addressed this, all the while continuing to disingenuously attribute the hijacking of CCC to the absence of a Constitution & Structures / Strategic Ambiguity, which Ncube et al also weaponised. l. Eventually, there was an audio which was leaked and allegedly appeared to catch an off guard Biti criticising figures who appeared to be Phulu, Mafume & others (ex PDP cabal) for pursuing the Tshabangu route, infamously recorded saying "anga achapera ega" in what is largely understood to be a deragotory reference to Chamisa. m. In the end, Chamisa eventually resigned from a heavily infiltrated CCC, but not before Biti had pronounced himself to still be the CCC VP before suddenly vanishing from the political landscape after Chamisa's exit. n. Since then, no CCC iteration has provided a new Constitution, held a Congress or announced structures yet Hopewell has been steadfastly quiet on that. The Current Situation 1. Agenda 2030 has finally arrived on our doorstep. Hopewell is once again trolling Chamisa, grandstanding, pontificating & accusing him of refusing to work with Biti's CDF & others in challenging it & weaponising any slight miscommunication by Chamisa to suggest complicity with those supporting Agenda 2030. 2. In addition to this, Hopewell, in a shameless & irresponsible conspiracy with Hwende & Russian sponsored Troll Merchant Ali Naka which was exposed by Prof Ibbo Mandaza to yours truly following an outrageous post he had dropped on X, sensationally claimed that Chamisa had been paid by ED to acquiesce to Agenda 2030 and threatened to release the relevant evidence which they claimed to possess unless if he chose to resign from politics. Analysis i. Hopewell is currently projecting himself as a doyen of democracy & constitutionalism who is courageously putting himself in the line of fire to oppose Agenda 2030. ii. That characterisation is clearly inconsistent with the extensive history cited above where he has clearly been guilty of enabling Tshabangu through legitimising his regime enabled shenanigans. iii. It is clear that Hopewell selectively chooses to attack only Chamisa. He is silent about the role that Biti, Ncube, he himself & others played in enabling Agenda 2030 in its early days through either misreading the situation or being wilfully blind to what was unfolding before them. iv. He hides behind the journalistic tag but, in line with what I have highlighted above, he clearly has political ambitions & is thus biased and has conflicts of interest. v. He comes from a family with extensive ZANU PF ties. His claims of being a human rights defender are thus dubious. This is combined with the fact that he has previously backed the regime to the hilt - a regime that came to power via a coup & thus after mutilating the very constitution he now claims to religiously want to defend - and he also voluntarily chose to take a conscious step towards actively defending that regime, despite its history of egregious human rights violations - which did not end with the coup! vi. It is clear that he lacks the probity, consistency & credibility to project himself in the manner that he currently is while recklessly repeatedly besmirching the reputations of others without any iota of evidence. vii. His use of ghost accounts to attack others maliciously, quickness of propensity to recklessly defame & launch personal attacks on others when defeated intellectually, is consistent with a lack of a moral compass, ethos, sound judgment, fragility of the mind & ego. viii. There is also striking internal contradiction in that a man who has been so readily comfortable to seat at the table with a ruthless regime & choose to work for it can so vehemently & relentlessly attack a young & unarmed opposition leader up against an authoritarian regime armed to the teeth for allegations of failing to have a Constitution & structures - even after previously praising him for it at some point. ix) Over & above that, such a man is at ease having cosy relationships with a woman who has presided after sham election after sham election, defends her, does not condemn her for the sham election, focuses on condemning only one opposition leader, embraces a proxy while pretending to be blind to what's unfolding & also has a cosy relationship with the wife of the regime leader he claims to be vociferously campaigning against! x. He does not take responsibility for his role in supporting the coup in the manner he did & legitimising Tshabangu and providing the much needed cover him & ED needed to begin executing Agenda 2030 in earnest. It's either he is in denial or disingenuous. xi. The above has to be contrasted with how he readily seizes upon & weaponises any slight oversight from Chamisa! Just a mere phrase out of kilter is enough to trigger him. If there is none, he is happy to conspire to peddle character assassinating rumours without the slightest inclination to provide an iota of evidence! xii. If he is put on the spot, he becomes defensive & accuses those seeking accountability from him of "demobilising" the fight against Agenda 2030 yet he consistently unleashed a stream of anti-opposition drivel towards the August 2023 elections such as "the opposition is as dead as a dodo" & "move on" when we were trying to challenge the sham August 2023 elections even after a positive SEOM Final Report! Conclusion For all the above reasons, Hopewell Chin'ono is not a credible character. One has to be cautious around him. He appears to operate in the shadows. He looms large in all recent Zimbabwean major political events & weaponises his large following to misinform & mislead them. He has turned flip flopping into an art, often weaving in & out between the regime & the opposition whimsically to devastating effect, leaving a trail of confused & agitated followers in his wake. He seems to be on a singular, relentless anti-Chamisa crusade to topple him by any means necessary and leave Zimbabwe without any credible opposition. It borders on an obsession. His desperation & malice is betrayed by his willingness to recklessly circulate even malicious & defamatory allegations. There is a difference between measured, objective, well researched criticism & trolling, with the latter being what Hopewell regularly does. He has got his own undeclared political ambitions & stealthily hobnobs with regime elements while publicly claiming to be viscerally opposed to the regime, which is a clearly dangerous trait given Zim's treacherous political landscape. All right thinking Zimbabweans are opposed to Agenda 2030 & CAB3. Some of us were at the forefront of opposing it during its nascent stages, as far back as November 2023. The reason why I was sounding that alarm at the time was to enable early intervention mechanisms which would have nipped this in the bud. Hopewell actively encouraged the implosion of CCC through churning out pro-Biti drivel on his account while patronising Tshabangu. It is that which emboldened & enabled ED to go for the full jugular, because Hopewell was busy misinforming his followers that Tshabangu had primarily succeeded due to the absence of structures & a constitution! Now here we are. Zimbabwe, which is properly constituted is now having its Constitution being brazenly mutilated by ED, with attempts being made to smuggle a provision which is clearly outlawed, requires 2 referendums & which an incumbent cannot benefit from! Naturally, we are taken aback when those who sought to silence us then now suddenly want to cast themselves as vanguards of the defence against the Constitution - when they previously enabled the very actions which have brought us here! It's perverse & tantamount to rank madness! An utter farce! If he is sincere, the first port of call is to take responsibility for the positions he has taken in supporting the coup, doing PR work for it, embracing & legitimising Tshabangu, misleading Biti & stepping away from rumour mongering, peddling false, malicious & defamatory allegations & the cowardly & pernicious use of ghost accounts, surreptitiously maintaining ties with regime figures & not holding them to account! Of course I am absolutely aghast, I make no bones about that! How can a decorated Journalist like Hopewell wreak so much havoc for so long, obstinately claiming to be charting a righteous path, odiously get it so wrong, only to then make a volte face and say lets join hands together to seek redress on the very edifice he has been partially but prominently responsible for constructing, an outcome so very clearly foreseeable & preventable? How? And we should just accept this quietly as if nothing has happened? The intervention is hopelessly late because so much time was wasted in the past! It's irrecoverable! The best bulwark against 2030 was a united CCC under Chamisa, which Hopewell contributed to destroy out of spite, in furtherance of Biti's misconceived grand political ambitions! Curiously, as soon as Chamisa left, Biti announced a political sabbatical! Nxa!

@freemanchari Biti ndiye akatengesa maSeats naChabangu. 103 CCC seats were enough to defend the constitution. Mune drama risina basa.

Hmmm this is powerful

I am going back to Zimbabwe- it’s my home and I love it. I have done nothing wrong. I belong to this lovely country and am never going to run away from my own country.

🔸The issue is very straightforward. A country as rich as Zimbabwe should not be relying on the “donations” from convicted fraudsters and dodgy tenderpreneurs to secure ambulances. Rather, these basic needs must be drawn from the national purse. If they stop looting and getting paid millions for delivering nothing, then the country will have ample money to buy ambulances for itself. We cannot thank you for looting millions from the national purse then using a small portion of that to buy ambulances. Imari dzedu at the end of the day. We need new leaders.🇿🇼

Well, have they accounted for their actions yet?

DAMASCUS IS DAMASCUS. When Professor Mugano narrates his questionable Damascus, we are told to respect the academic, allow him his freedom, and even accept him changing sides. But when it’s @matinyarare’s DAMASCUS, suddenly he is labeled bought, hallucinating, and confused. I mean, let all DAMASCENES enjoy their freedom, no double standards. CHADZOKA CHABVA CHAPODZWA. DAMASCUS VS DAMASCUS. PAUL NADANYERO PABASA 😂😂

You would think he is the one illegally extending his term to 2030. You would think he is the one boycotting elections in 2028. You would think he is the one evading a referendum. But history will absolve you, President. Yours is the story of a man whose sole “crime” is to be genuinely loved by the citizens of a nation long trained to disregard its own. A nation where self-styled intellectuals, the wealthy, the powerful, career politicians, and parade-holding awardists believe that devotion is their due,yet, paradoxically, it is you who receives it for a historical reason we all know. Generations yet unborn will rise to salute you; the record of your fidelity to the people, and the people’s response in love, will endure as a monument beyond the narrow visions of contemporaries.

3. Both developments mean the following: (i) The Harare regime does not care what you and I think about the #CAB3. Where those not in support of the bill aren't allowed to congregate, you can guess what they're doing to the letters you're privately sending to Parliament.

Zimbabweans: We are the agenda! We are coming for our country Great Zimbabwe The 2030 agenda is “a blanket ban on elections… a hijacking of the nation” and we refuse to let them control the narrative and fool us into thinking it's only 2030! They are afraid of elections! Mnangangwa's time is up Either make peace with that or sink with him! Why would you extend to delay the inevitable? The fracture line is so obvious And you will not survive 2028 elections! Why would anyone vote for a President who controls the fuel of the country hence prices? We the Citizens unite to block any tomfoolery. ONE MAN ONE VOTE! People-first, not party-first “WE, THE CITIZENS” It's not about an individual It's about collective power We unite against unabated reign and indefinite rule! No to 2030 on ZANU-PF terms. Yes to citizens deciding. This is a citizen awakening and consensus call. Zimbabwe belongs to us! Zimbabwe is us. Full stop.

Cut down, yet it rises, stronger each time. Razed to the ground, yet it rises, and springs forth again. #FreshStart #Godisinit

FELLOW CITIZENS, I understand your pain, your worries, and your anxieties. Together, we carry this burden, but also the hope and the answer. We have a solid rollout plan with a clear timeline, a defined path forward. We’re putting ducks in a row. Out of this, a path is forming. Stand prepared. Get ready, your role is coming. #TheNew #WeDemandOurVoice #NoToOneManState

We aren't stronger together Some played a blind eye to all electoral violence Some sanitized stolen elections since 2018 Some used recalls to cripple MDC-A & CCC Some supported past amendments that brought us here Now the demon is telling the priest to come out of the child?
