@lucxsramxs @Trevornoah Most men are decent human beings. We are sons, fathers, brothers, uncles, and friends. We have no desire to harm women. Of course, there are bad people out there. However, to say that women must treat every man as a potential danger is extreme.

@Trevornoah women have to treat every man as a potential rapist for the same reason you teach your children to treat every stranger as a potential pedo/kidnapper it really isn’t hard to understand

I have received information that I cannot in good conscience sit on. President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa is visiting Zimbabwe. Not an official state visit with full diplomatic protocol.Not a SADC summit with regional agenda. Not an AU engagement with continental purpose. A private visit.And the destination after the obligatory Harare formalities is Precabe Farm. Kwekwe.

President @edmnangagwa has DONE IT AGAIN… 5 years of GNU failed to do this… @BitiTendai should sit down, he couldn’t even fund the construction of a single clinic in the 5 years he was finance minister. The Mucheke River Bridge was opened to traffic TODAY.. and the Trumpet Interchange in Masvingo is ALMOST COMPLETE… We want this PROGRESS to continue unperturbed! By 2030 Zimbabwe’s infrastructure will be GREAT!

General Constantino Chiwenga is the next President of the Republic of Zimbabwe.Not maybe. Not possibly. Not if circumstances permit. Not subject to amendment bills, parliamentary arithmetic, or the preferences of commercial networks that have confused their bank balances with political permanence. Next. Full stop. And let me be equally clear about the timeline. 2028. Elections. As scheduled. As constitutionally mandated. As the people of Zimbabwe are entitled to. Not 2030 nonsense. Not 2031. Not after a referendum that nobody asked for, nobody wants, and that over ninety percent of Zimbabweans have already rejected in their hearts even before the ballot paper is designed. The Constitution of Zimbabwe the same Constitution that CAB3 is designed to mutilate is unambiguous. Section 328 is unambiguous. The two-term limit is unambiguous. The requirement for a referendum to extend a sitting president's term is unambiguous. 2028. Not a day later. On what CAB3 nonsense actually is. I have said this before and I will say it again until it is heard in every corner of this republic. CAB3 is not a development instrument. It is not a continuity agenda. It is not about Vision 2030 or boreholes or solar panels or hospital refurbishments worthy as some of those programmes are.CAB3 is a blocking mechanism. It has one primary political function to prevent General Constantino Chiwenga from ascending to the presidency through the direct popular vote that he would win. Everything else the economic arguments, the development continuity narrative, the liberation history revisionism we heard from Chinamasa is dressing. It is the packaging on a product whose contents are the permanent postponement of Zimbabwe's constitutional succession reality. The architects of CAB3 know that in a free, direct, popular election in 2028, General Chiwenga wins. They know it because the people know it. They know it because the security establishment knows it. They know it because even inside ZANU-PF behind closed doors, away from the cameras, in the conversations that happen between people who trust each other the succession reality has one name.And that name is Gwneral Chiwenga. "You do not spend this much political capital trying to change an election system unless you already know you cannot win under the existing one." On Operation Restore Legacy. November 2017 was not a coup. I will not call it a coup. The courts did not call it a coup. The people who came into the streets in their hundreds of thousands did not call it a coup. They called it liberation. They called it correction. They called it the moment Zimbabwe got a second chance. Operation Restore Legacy made promises. Explicit, public, witnessed promises to the people of Zimbabwe, to the region, to the international community, and to history itself. It promised constitutionalism. It promised the rule of law. It promised that Zimbabwe's democratic institutions would be respected and strengthened. It promised that the era of one-man, permanent, unaccountable rule was over. Every one of those promises is now under assault by CAB3. Let me say that with the full weight of what it means. The men who stood in that television studio on the 15th of November 2017 who read that statement, who put their stars and their freedom on the line, who asked Zimbabwe to trust them those men made a covenant with this nation. That covenant is not dischargeable by gazette notice. It is not amendable by parliamentary majority. It cannot be revised because the political convenience of 2026 conflicts with the political promises of 2017. Operation Restore Legacy is not over. It is not over until constitutionalism is genuinely restored not performed, not simulated, not dressed up in development language while being systematically dismantled.

This is why we can never find each other. Why can’t we be honest. People don’t lead themselves. That’s literally why leaders exist. Chamisa put himself forward. He asked for the mandate. He built his entire brand around being the answer to Zimbabwe’s crisis. Two million people believed him enough to risk voting in a rigged system. And then he disappeared. That’s not on the people. You don’t get to inspire a nation, collect their hope, and then lecture them about doing their part when you’ve done nothing with the power they handed you. A real leader doesn’t wait for the masses to move first. He moves them. He organizes, directs, absorbs the risk and pulls people forward. That’s the job he applied for. You’re essentially blaming followers for a leader’s failure to lead. But if the people needed to do it themselves, why Chamisa? Why not anyone else? He made himself irreplaceable and then made himself absent. That combination is unforgivable in a liberation context. The people didn’t fail Zimbabwe. The man they trusted with their votes did.

➡️ Those handful of scattered and misaligned misadventurers who are saying they have "lost faith" in Chamisa because he has not yet rescued them from ZANU PF, are they themselves lost. 🧏🏾‍♂️ They don't get it. They never have. It's not Chamisa and Chibaya and Ostallos's job to single-handedly storm State House and remove the vampires! It's almost like that is what some people are expecting. 🤦🏾‍♂️ That not only is crazy thinking, it suffers from severe poverty of logic. Freeing Zimbabwe from tyranny is a job for ALL OF US. That's the only way it can happen. Simply casting a vote and thinking that you have done your part, is WILD thinking. ZANU PF will hold on to their power and privilege by any means necessary. Therefore it will take unity and pressure from the MASSES to get the job done! No, not violence, but PRESENCE, boldness and peaceful pressure. The tools of peace that can only be wielded with devastating impact by the optics of citizens in their NUMBERS. 👥👥 ▪️ You don't need someone ELSE to tell you that the situation is now untenable. ▪️ You don't need someone ELSE to tell you that you and your family are suffering unnecessarily in a land of abundance and plenty, and deserve better. ▪️ You don't need someone ELSE to tell you that ZANU trying to cancel elections and declare themselves Presidents for LIFE, is disastrous for you and your children's future. Chamisa has mobilized, encouraged, inspired, organized and created an ALTERNATIVE platform to govern this Nation. And his has won, twice. It is up to US to defend our votes, our constitution and our democratically-elected choice! It is our own cowardice and shortcomings and our attempt to OUTSOURCE our struggle for a better country, to a few individuals, that has stopped us from insisting in unison that ZANU PF must respect our elections. At great risk to himself, Advocate Chamisa has provided the Zimbabwean people with an alternative platform and elected government for Zimbabwe, and he won the last two elections, and is READY to lead. What must happen now? What else do you expect him to do right now?? It is only YOU AND ME that must take the next step! The ball is in OUR court. Nothing changes without our participation! Anywhere in the world where change has taken place and regimes been toppled or forced to make concessions, had to do with resistance by the MASSES. You know that! Why are you sitting there doing little, except complain and criticize?? 🤷🏾‍♂️ If there is someone who you think can DO BETTER, that's ok. WHERE ARE THEY?? 👀 If Chamisa is as ineffective as some say, then why didn't those 'leaders' and their influencers RISE up and take on ZANU, and move the needle while Chamisa was away from politics for TWO YEARS?? C'mon. Don't let people make fools out of you... 😌 Anyway, it is the PEOPLE that must come together to insist on a better country, and the future they deserve. If you are thinking that Chamisa can do it ALONE, or that he should try to coerce you to act in your OWN best interests, when you KNOW full well that we all need to do our part to create a tidal wave of pressure on ZANU... Well ... that kind of thinking and apathy may well give them ANOTHER 46 years of looting and destruction.🤷🏾‍♂️ We are in danger of losing this country forever to barbaric maniacs, and it will not be Chamisa's fault, no matter what convenient and illogical story you tell yourself. We need to take those fingers that are pointing OUTWARDS and turn them to face ourselves. Because WE ARE THE ONE'S we've been waiting for... 🫵🏾🇿🇼 Only WE, united with other like-minded citizens, can save this country. It's time to wake up to that fact, before it's too late. Those who want Chamisa, or an alternative, to be President, cannot expect him to place himself there by magic. WE must insist on better, and expect to pressure that change. There is no other way.

Dear South Africans and the rest of the world dont be fooled by the propaganda ,Zimbabwe is rising and the reality on the ground tells a different story...Under the visionary leadership of @edmnangagwa, we’ve built world class roads , sleek skyscrapers and massive industrial hubs that are transforming our economy. To our neighbors in South Africa, look at these photos and see the truth our people are living large and our infrastructure is top tier. The home fires are burning bright and many are already heading back kuyalunga ekhaya siyabonga 👏 👏 👏

This is our sixth failed attempt at currency reform. We persist in this folly, we will suffer until we finally respect economics. So ironic of you to speak of “know it all” economists who oversee one of the least stable economies in the region. We should cease pontificating and start working. Just look around you.

Dereck Goto@dereckgoto·
Dear Zimbabwe Council of Churches, You have no business opposing Amendment Bill No. 3. None whatsoever. Your interference in constitutional affairs is a brazen affront to Zimbabwe's democratic order. Stay in your lane. Your mandate is souls, not legislation. Constitutional revisions are routine across the globe - from the United States to South Africa. Zimbabwe is no exception, nor should it be. The usual suspects will argue that ZCC members, as Zimbabwean citizens, retain the right to participate in constitutional processes. Granted. But there is a profound difference between individual civic engagement and an ecclesiastical institution formally mobilising its religious authority against a legislative instrument. Your members may engage as private citizens through appropriate civic channels - that is their constitutional right. However, the ZCC did not speak as concerned citizens. It spoke as a Council of Churches, wielding its institutional authority to oppose a parliamentary process. That is not civic participation. That is an unambiguous overreach. Scripture itself forecloses your position. Romans 13:1 commands: "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers, for there is no power but of God." First Peter 2:13-14 further instructs submission to every human institution established by law. And Christ Himself settled this matter with finality: "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and unto God what is God's" (Matthew 22:21). Parliament was constitutionally mandated to debate and enact laws - not you. If you crave political influence, resign your collars and contest an election. Be accountable to the electorate as politicians are. Your current posturing blurs the sacred line between faith and politics, divides congregations, and wholesale abandons your spiritual calling. Pray. Serve. Unite. Leave constitutional matters to those elected and mandated to handle them. I thank you.

You've contradicted yourself here. You open by saying the struggle was fought so every adult's vote counts equally, then use that same principle to justify removing the direct presidential vote under CAB3. The liberation fighters didn't just fight for “a”vote, they fought for a direct, equal say in who governs. Under an indirect system, your influence over the presidency gets filtered through your MP and diluted by parliamentary dynamics, meaning votes carry different effective weight depending on where you live and how coalitions form. That's structurally similar to the tiered, indirect exclusion you just criticised under Rhodesia than you're willing to admit.

GETTING IT RIGHT Under Rhodesia’s UDI, your right to vote depended on race, gender, education, and wealth—not simply on being an adult human. People took up arms to end that exclusion, fighting for every adult’s vote to count. That principle—universal suffrage—is about who gets a vote, not whether the presidential vote is direct or indirect. Under #CAB3, every adult citizen still gets an equal vote for their MP. Your vote still counts.
