What is the purpose of that colorful ball attached to the power lines?

@pmkwananzi @ZANUPF_Official Kunzima

A Demon of recalls engulfs the country. The speaker now has no option but to remove the @ZANUPF_Official recalled members as per the precedent he has set. At this rate, we are likely to have a fresh election sooner than we expected. With almost 100 MPs recalled, parliament has effectively collapsed. Compounded by the SHAM of August 2023, a fresh, free & fair election is now the only option. #FreshElectionZW

@sarahcronje @ZamaNyathi14 You made my day

@ZamaNyathi14 Sheesh! Hectic

KoBulawayo likahle kodwa? I understand the hailstorm was something else

@nelsonchamisa @zigotsi Amen

@zigotsi Church must govern all human affairs! Where church is, there is light, life, joy, glory and grace.

NEVER DEFEND EVIL OR JUSTIFY WICKEDNESS...If anyone returns evil for good,evil will never leave or depart his house. Acquitting the guilty and condemning the righteous both are abomination and detestable to the LORD. Proverbs 17:13-15 Blessed Sabbath.

@ProfJNMoyo You are so evil

THE EVIL COBRA: it is notable and a fascinating talking point on a Saturday like this that Nelson Chamisa, who is also known as “cobra”, has used the image of a cobra – therefore his nickname – to apparently portray as “evil like a cobra”; CCC perceived detractors who are challenging him and his unilateral decisions; insisting that CCC should be run according to its founding books; and who are resisting his “dictatorial personalisation and control of CCC”, under some opaque “wapusa wapusa” politics in which everyone else but Chamisa has no position in CCC, because the party's organisational model being implemented by Chamisa has no constitution and has no structures, with party work being done only through “tasks and assignments” allocated to CCC functionaries or approved by none other than Chamisa himself. Says Chamisa, in his intriguing post this morning on X, formerly Twitter: “NEVER DEFEND EVIL OR JUSTIFY WICKEDNESS...If anyone returns evil for good, evil will never leave or depart his house. Acquitting the guilty and condemning the righteous both are abomination and detestable to the LORD. Proverbs 17:13-15 Blessed Sabbath.” x.com/nelsonchamisa/… Phew. Is the venomous message the cobra’s strike on dissenters on a Sabbath day, or is it a Freudian slip of the cobra, ironically biting itself? Time will!

@advocatemahere Ooh my goodness

🟡I would hope a Parliamentarian knows the difference between a Bill and an Act. Bills are not law. They’re not binding on anyone. Once a Bill becomes law, it is an Act of Parliament. A Minister who administers legislation can’t confuse the two otherwise they won’t know what’s binding and enforceable and what’s not.

@ProfJNMoyo You feast on people's suffering

FIRST: it is a kneejerk publicity-stunt which is neither strategic nor a strategy to disengage when the horses have bolted less than 24 hours after the recall of some of your MPs and the banning from Parliament of the rest of your MPs for two weeks, and the docking of their monthly salary over two months for having been found to have conducted themselves on the floor of Parliament in a disorderly and unruly manner unbefitting of Honourable Members of Parliament. SECOND: it is an utter and disgraceful dereliction of duty and not a strategy by any stretch of the imagination to disengage and do no work in and for 33 out of 34 urban municipalities that you control and run with your mayors or board chairpersons, their deputies and their councils. This is like disengaging from your own household or family; it is just crazy. There are lots of strategies and options out there, with meaningful pro-people endgames, but disengaging from Parliament, and from the urban councils that you control and run is not among those strategies or options; rather such disengagement is hopelessly unimaginative and is tantamount to short-changing and defrauding the electorate!

@NewsHawksLive We have a long way to go

#Glossolalia These are the kind of people - like the dubious preacher and socialite Passion Java - that President Emmerson Mnangagwa has surrounded himself with. Fake prophets speaking in tongues, while name-dropping to flaunt power, influence and money. Mnangagwa's name finds itself in this incoherent glossolalia; art of speaking in an unknown language practised especially by Pentecostal and charismatic or gospelpreneur Christians.

@ProfJNMoyo @PacheduZW Citizens should not be underestimated. You ran away because Citizens chased you. If want to come back you will rather be nice to us. Otherwise you will stay there for ever.

PACHEDU'S 'WATCHFUL & POWERFUL MANDLA' WAS RENDERED BLIND, MANDLALESS & USELESS Just before Zimbabwe's 2023 harmonised general election, @PacheduZW left the gullible CCC base in delirium as it huffed and puffed that its "Mandla App was Watching Everything" - giving the CCC faithfuls a false assurance that Pachedu would access V11s and use them to announce a result for Chamisa before the declaration of the final result by @ZECzim - when in fact 'Mandla" was watched by bigger and better eyes 24/7 to checkmate and render it powerless, blind and useless. Now there's a running joke that, 'don't be useless like Pachedu'. The full disastrous story of 'Mandla' is yet to be told. Meanwhile, everyone agrees that @PacheduZW's 'Mandla' was an unmitigated fiasco, from which the Uncle Toms behind will take long to recover. MORAL OF THE STORY: In politics, you cannot do anything meaningful or successful without structures. It's just impossible, even if you invoke God's name in vain. No structures, no winning result. Fullstop. The whole "Mandla" thing was a monumental debacle because it was depended on a CCC with no constitution and no structures, which was was run on the whims, caprices and hallucinations of one person and one person alone. Among many deficits that bedeviled it, the one-person-run CCC did not have requisite polling agents at the 12, 374 polling stations. With no structural presence on the ground, Mandla - actually @PacheduZW - became a useless Internet joke. The rest is history!

@ProfJNMoyo Don't underestimate the citizens

#ZimElection2023Postmortem ZIM'S 2023 HARMONISED GENERAL ELECTION NOW DONE AND DUSTED, LEGITIMACY SETTLED, WHILE POST-MORTEMS REMAIN LIVE The harmonised general election is over. Any continuing chatter or narratives about "fresh elections scaffolded by foreigners", or a "National Transitional Authority" [NTA] also facilitated by foreigners, is a self-indulgent pipe dream bordering on hot air. This follows the oath-taking and the assumption of office by the winners of the local election, parliamentary election and presidential election, which together makeup Zimbabwe’s harmonised general election in that they are held concurrently every five years. CCC won and has taken control of the overwhelming majority of the country’s 34 urban councils; while ZanuPF won and is in charge of the majority of Zimbabwe’s 92 local municipalities to bring the 2023 local authority election to an end; further, ZanuPF won a commanding absolute majority in Parliament to take full control of both the National Assembly and the Senate, with seats whose numbers approximate a two thirds majority in the bicameral Parliament; and lastly ZanuPF also won the presidential election with a clear majority well beyond the 50% plus one vote threshold. To say the 2023 harmonised general election is over specifically and necessarily means that the question of the legitimacy of the election has been settled beyond reasonable or rational debate. There's no challenge to the legitimacy of the election in any competent court of law. What now remains are post-mortems of the harmonised general election, which include but are not limited to final reports of local and international election observers most of which are still pending. The pending post-mortems are not and cannot be about determining or deciding the legitimacy of the harmonised general election, but about unmasking how the election was actually conducted and, in the words of a recent “Reflection Meeting for Bishops” held by the @zccinzim, “to dissect what went well, what did not go well and what needs to be done,” in the next election to improve on what did not go well this time round. The more the election post-mortems, the merrier for the development and maturity of Zimbabwe’s body politic. What needs to be underlined and understood is that the 2023 harmonised general election is over and its legitimacy has been settled. The prerequisite for understanding this proposition is the understanding of what an election is. This is because it is common in Zimbabwean public discourse to encounter bambazonke approaches to electoral politics. Instead of elections being taken for what they are, dominant Zimbabwean approaches tend to load elections with every imaginable issue or problem under the sun. Somehow, the common narrative has come to be that an election should be a solution to every and all problems or challenges facing the country. For many others, an election must be won by their political party or presidential candidate, failure of which the election is invalid and illegitimate by definition. And for others who view politics through a self-indulgent bifurcation of "good guys" versus "bad guys", an election is legitimate only if it is won by the "good guys". Yet others say an election is about "political reforms", wherein the "reforms" are not neutral principles and guidelines with general application to enable anyone to win, but are synonymous with the political manifesto or agenda of their favourite political party or presidential candidate. While these and related sentiments are understandable as expressions of political differences, they’re nevertheless wrong not least because they’re based on subjective views of what an election is. All hell breaks loose where the definition of an election depends on the mouth of the beholder. It is important that there be an objective definition of an election, above political opinions and political differences. In this regard, and based on the best international practices and standards applied to Zimbabwe, an election is a rule and time bound political process which is a legal event in which eligible voters exercise the all-important right to vote for holders of public offices established by the Constitution of Zimbabwe or by any other law of the land; or to be voted for to hold any of those public offices. The rules and timelines for the three elections that make up Zimbabwe’s harmonised general election are in the Constitution, the Electoral Act and the Electoral Regulations. As a legal event, Zimbabwe’s harmonised general election starts with the election proclamation and ends with the assumption office by the elected winners upon taking their oath of office. When that is done, the legitimacy of an election is sorted out. There is a political and legal labyrinth of rule and time bound processes in between an election proclamation and the assumption of office by the elected winners after they take their oath of office. Those processes must be adopted in advance, and once they are discharged or exhausted one way or the other, within the given rules and timelines, the legitimacy of an election is decided and settled. The idea or claim that the issue of legitimacy is multifaceted and thus capable of multiple types or forms or meanings of legitimacy that can be as many as they are people raising or asserting them, is wrong and inimical to the essence and purpose of an election as a rule and time bound political process which is a legal event that comes and goes within a fixed timeline. As such, the legitimacy of an election is only and necessarily contested and decided in the courts of law, strictly within the rule and time bound legal event. After an election, the spotlight necessary shifts to the decisions and actions of the elected public officials, which are about fulfilling electoral pledges or policy choices within the confines of the Constitution of Zimbabwe and the laws of the land; on the back of Zimbabwe’s founding values and principles enshrined in section 3 of the Constitution. In this regard, that the decisions and actions of the elected public officials can and in fact always raise policy, political, economic, social, religious, cultural, traditional or other questions that affect the lives and livelihoods of the people, which questions may delegitimatise elected public officials; that process is not about elections but about "good governance" and matters related thereto. From the standpoint of electoral legitimacy, although they’re of course related and while they impact one another, the holy grail of international best electoral practices or standards is that the legitimacy of an election should not be conflated or confused with the legitimacy of governance - which comes after the election - in terms of whether it is good or bad or whatever!

@DavidColtart @ChronicleZim Sikhumbuzo is being used by Jonathan Moyo @DavidColtart our mayor don't get destructed by these desperate people. Just save the people of Bulawayo. It's a calling .

I see that Sikhumbuzo Moyo writing in @ChronicleZim today says that I was "imposed (as Mayor) despite being rejected by Ward 4 residents" . I suppose if an 86% majority in the election is "rejectment" Moyo has a different understanding of the word than most people do.

@ProfJNMoyo @PacheduZW Wena you ran away from them. Come back now uwone vanokuveza!!

@ChaibvaG Advocate Nelson Chamisa is the People's President.

From CCC corridors this morning, Nelson Chamisa is no longer leader of the party after 2 attempts and 2 failures. They are saying they need a new leader. Its developing.

@ChaibvaG You are silly

@ChaibvaG He is one of the best managers I have ever met

Hon Chibaya has no 5 'O' levels.

@ProfJNMoyo Form your own party

SIGHTS AND SOUNDS of CCC MPs singing and dancing like delinquent juveniles in their first order of business in Parliament today, after they were sworn in yesterday; following their fake threat to reject their election, purportedly in favour of a fresh poll "scaffolded" by @SADC_News!

@ProfJNMoyo You don't even know what was happening..I have so much respect for you senior. Musadaro please

This was a source of livelihood for more than 200 families. Vendors at Mkhize flea market (located in Lobhengula Street Bulawayo Central constituency)woke up with nothing as everything was reduced to ashes by fire. The cause of fire yet to be known . @daddyhope @CCCZimbabwe

@TembaMliswa Ma last minutes minutes ka aya. Why today after 5 Years. You want people to vote for pit latrines. Gore rino Norton yayenda ne CCC. Pakaipa baba.

At Skea and Railway 28 I will personally provide 24 000 bricks, 80 bags of cement and pay the builders among other things. As an MP you ultimately have to resort to personal funds to bring about any tangible change and development in your constituency. CDF is now a token amount.

My project to construct 20 toilets at Railway 28 School and Skea Farm has begun with some of the holes already completed. I visited the site today for assessment and the remaining material will be arriving tomorrow, Tuesday.

@TembaMliswa what kind of toilets are these?
