#Mwalimu. The imperative for African Unity is more pressing now than ever in the context of a new and more insidious scramble for Africa's resources

As we continue to celebrate Women’s Month, I am reminded of the fearless women who fought tirelessly and helped shape the course of our history and the African agenda. Their courage, resilience, and unwavering commitment continue to inspire generations. I recently had a humbling and inspiring meeting with Mama Palesa Musa, a brave participant in the Anti-Apartheid movement. As she shared her experiences during the painful days of her incarceration at the Women’s prison in Johannesburg, her story became a powerful reminder of the sacrifices many women made in the pursuit of justice and freedom. Walking through the prison facility that once confined her, now preserved as a historic reminder, one cannot help but reflect on the strength, determination, and power of women’s voices that refused to be silenced. Women have always been at the forefront of resistance, change, and progress. Their stories remind us that true freedom and transformation are impossible without their full participation and leadership. As Thomas Sankara once said: "There is no true social revolution without the liberation of women." This month, we honor the women all over the world who fought before us, celebrate the women leading today, and salute the young girls and women shaping tomorrow.

No one should face violence for exercising their rights. We demand justice! #JusticeForVictims"

The ruling comprador bourgeoisie is terrified of the superior logic of the masses. Having failed to provide a dialectical defense for their regressive amendments, the exploiters are now resorting to the desperate silencing of the revolutionary vanguard. As is the historical pattern of the oppressor, they target the proletariat within the urban ghettos. The ruling elites have inherited and perfected the colonial-supremacist logic which posits that the impoverished have no agency in the political superstructure. In their warped, reactionary view, the working class are merely inanimate objects meant to validate the whims of the hegemonic class. We call upon the working class to unite; you have nothing to lose but your chains. The state must be reminded that its primary apparatus is funded by the surplus value extracted from the workers. It is a gross violation of the social contract and a criminal act of state-sponsored terror, to utilize the people's tax contributions to fund the abduction and torture of the very citizens the state is constitutionally mandated to protect under Section 52 (Right to Personal Security) and Section 53 (Freedom from Torture or Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment). Furthermore, the proposed amendments represent a blatant attempt to bypass the democratic will. Since these amendments seek to extend the term of office for the incumbent, they must be subjected to a Referendum. This is a mandatory requirement under Section 328(7) of the Constitution, which explicitly states that an amendment to a term-limit provision cannot benefit the person who held that office before the amendment. Any attempt to circumvent this through legislative sleight of hand is a violation of Section 328(9). The ZANU PF hierarchy must abandon its militarized guerrilla tactics against its own people. The national liberation struggle against the colonialist was a victory for all, not a mandate for a new internal autocracy. We are equal shareholders in this Republic, entitled to the protections of Section 56 (Equality and Non-discrimination). Let there be a peaceful contestation of ideas. The ruling elites, who have monopolized the nation’s resources and the state’s apparatus, should deploy those resources to win the "war of positions" through persuasion, not through the barrel of a gun.

It was an honor to share a moment with Kenya's 4th President, H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta, at the 39th African Union Heads of State Summit in Addis Ababa. In our exchange, I was struck by the enduring shared Pan-African spirit and commitment to advancing the continent's aspirations in line with the AU's vision of an integrated, prosperous, and peaceful Africa that wields real influence in shaping global affairs. During the summit, I had the privilege of contributing to a High-Level Diplomatic Briefing on Africa’s push to reform the UN Security Council. Drawing from the AU's Common African Position (Ezulwini Consensus), my remarks framed Africa's demand for at least two permanent seats with veto power as an essential act of reparatory justice. For too long, the continent—despite comprising over a quarter of UN member states and bearing the brunt of many global crises—has been excluded from the Council's permanent membership. This structural injustice undermines the legitimacy of multilateralism. In my contribution, I emphasized a critical (and somewhat uncomfortable) truth: For African leaders to command legitimacy and leverage in global forums where we demand more democratic governance, they must equally strengthen democratic institutions, accountability, and people-centered leadership at home. True Pan-African advancement begins within our borders!

Democracy under threat , constitutional ammendments directed towards making the presidum and few induviduals elected and appointed more powerful than the general citizens , Constitution yenyika izamu raamai haribatwe.

16/18 I had the Exit Conversation with @bbmhlanga, a journalist of note and soon to be learned friend. As I reflect back on 18 years at the @ZLHRLawyers I do so with a sense of gratitude. I want to thank some of the human rights defenders & the communities I have worked or interacted with. Shout out to @namataik_, @daddyhope, @regaitsunga, @Cde_Ostallos, @TereraiSithole @Zinasuzim, @ARTUZ_teachers, @galzinf @zesn1103 @ZadhrDoctors @WCOZIMBABWE @ngadziore @robohchere @OMasaraure @CdeTatenda @MutasaPeter @MateteYoung @MARTHOLANAH @MakomboreroH Link to Exit Interview with DharaB of @HStvNews m.youtube.com/watch?v=AwPSnd…

We want to thank all the @nangozimbabwe members who voted for us as the overall Human Rights Defender of the Year Award. We thank you for the continued vote of confidence in us and our services as the last line of defence in human rights & constitutional cases. We do not take this vote lightly.......especially as we turn 30 years in early February 2026.

@Cde_Ostallos Aluta!

We exit Azania with a deeper sense of gratitude and humility.

@BriggsBomba @AU_ECOSOCC @TrustAfrica @_AfricanUnion We are well represented

I had the privilege of delivering the Keynote address at the @AU_ECOSOCC High Level Breakfast meeting, held on the sidelines of the ongoing #G20Summit; and attended by, among others, members of the Diplomatic Corps, representatives of G20 Engagement Groups, and Multilateral agencies, RECs, Civil Society, as well as Private Sector and Philanthropy Leaders. The gathering created a valuable space to reflect on how we can strengthen multi-lateral action and global solidarity amid rising geopolitical complexity. The heart of my message was that we need historical boldness to radically reimagine multilateralism in a new era. I pointed to the paralyzing cracks evident in key official platforms for global governance and asserted people to people solidarity as the most dynamic site of global cooperation today. I pointed to philanthropy’s opportunity to serve as a vital bridge to a new people-centric multilateralism and move from occasional funders to strategic partners in a new global solidarity architecture led by citizens and movements of the Global Majority. I further asserted that South Africa’s prophetic theme of “solidarity, equity, and sustainability”, will not be gifted to us by a consensus that no longer exist at the top; it will be be built, brick by brick, from below! Beyond the G20, I called for African leadership to continue shaping global conversations, setting agendas, and advancing solutions on climate justice, economic transformation, peace & security, and democratic governance

Why is it that our state's response to divergent poltical views is always met with destruction and violence? Am so outraged ,Our Mothers and Fathers who died during the liberation struggle did not die for us to be treated like second class citizens in our motherland.

Its not surprising to hear about a biased legal opinion from a hired lawyer who has a track record of disregard of constitutional rights of citizens in Arcturus Mine .

@TorerayiMoyo @ARTUZ_teachers You said we are funded by a political party. Which political party funds us? And how much did we receive from that political party? And you also said we have 100 members show us all the evidence of the frivolous and malicious allegations you made against us.

I remain committed to fostering inclusive access to education for every child in Zimbabwe. I appreciate the spirit of partnership expressed, and I welcome constructive dialogue that moves us closer to our shared goals. If any statements have caused concern or misunderstanding, I am open to reflection and clarification. Our focus must remain on collaboration, progress, and ensuring that no learner is left behind.

We view the Minister as a partner in our fight for inclusive access to education. We are hopeful that this issue will be resolved. Looking forward to a retraction from Minister @TorerayiMoyo

@constancezuni @TIZim_info Well done Cde👏👏

They say ' leadership is influence ' , but real influence starts with integrity. Excited to be part of the School of Integrity for Emerging Leaders fellowship, a space redefining what ethical leadership looks like in action. #SchoolofIntegrity #EmergingLeaders #OurIdentity

Changing faces of the same evil system won't help our country at all. Mugabe was removed from power nothing changed except the worsening of the situation , the same thing can be experienced under the current power struggles in Zanu. We need political systems reforms
