The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has not issued any official press statement regarding updates on the alleged assailants of Douglas Coltart. Members of the public are advised to disregard any circulating statements purporting to be from the ZRP, as some individuals are deliberately spreading false and misleading information using fake ZRP press releases. The police are fully aware of these activities and investigations are currently underway to identify the people responsible for creating and distributing the fake statements. The public is urged to rely only on official communication channels for accurate information. The law will take its course against anyone found responsible for publishing or circulating false information, regardless of where those individuals are located.






@joseph_kalimbwe I pray you become an MP



I rarely respond to posts that are malicious, intellectually dishonest, or authored from behind faceless profiles masquerading as serious commentary. What is striking here is not the critique itself, but the inability to distinguish between two completely separate discussions. My article was never intended to be a constitutional law thesis on the procedural mechanics of amending presidential election systems. It was a political and policy reflection on the merits and implications of direct versus indirect presidential elections, and whether an indirect system may, in certain contexts, better serve Zimbabwe. To attack an article for not addressing a question it never set out to answer is not intellectual rigour. It is either careless reading or deliberate misrepresentation. One would expect an award-winning journalist of Blessed’s supposed calibre to appreciate the elementary difference between a policy argument and a constitutional analysis. Conflating the two is not sophisticated criticism. It is analytical laziness dressed up as commentary. The constitutional process of effecting such a change is indeed an important discussion. It deserves its own serious and technically grounded article. Perhaps that is the article he should focus on writing instead of shadowboxing arguments that were never made @bbmhlanga
