🔸What a beautiful surprise.😅 It is a huge honour to be voted “Zimbabwean of the Year” by the people. I treasure the gift of being able to speak with and for those who aspire for a Zimbabwe that works, that is globally competitive and has freedom, fairness and opportunity for all. This is the only Zimbabwe we have so we must join hands to build it, champion excellence and demand competent, ethical leadership that drives our great nation forward. Congratulations to all fellow nominees. Let us work hard to ensure the Zimbabwean Dream becomes a reality for everyone. Thank you to @iMisred and @ZiFMStereo for affording the people this platform. We need new leaders.🇿🇼

@ProfJNMoyo @Reumz263 Do share context, about this trying time?

@Reumz263 Go to hell. I will never forget how during that period I, with other Cdes, served and saved our nation during one of its most trying moments of need!

"National security is very much threatened by the abuse of social media. It’s one of the threats which is emerging all over the world, whereby there is misinformation, disinformation, hate speech, and distortion of information and it must be curbed. That is why Parliament enacted the Cyber Bill, so that we can try and control the scourge.” - Deputy President of the Senate, Lieutenant General (Retired) Michael Nyambuya, giving a lecture yesterday at the Zimbabwe National Defence University in Mazowe. Quite clearly, information disinformation on social media platforms - particularly in these streets - has reached cancerous levels!

@ProfJNMoyo @rashweatm Can State Functionaries be Social Media Influencers?

@rashweatm No @rashweatm, everyone os entitled to their opinions, but no one is entitled to their own facts. Social media influencers should peddle influence, not falsehoods. Full stop!

@ProfJNMoyo What is the recourse when mis/disinformation is done by the State?

When women can decide if and when to have children, they are healthier, their families are more prosperous, and their children get a better start in life. Everyone benefits, and the positive effects ripple for generations. The U.S. decision to end support for family planning programs around the world will cost lives and claim futures that should have been bright. nytimes.com/2025/04/01/hea…

🔸Kechinganiko? Presser after presser. Tazvinzwa - mati everything is fine, saka bho. Zvino mukaita kunge sadza ririkukwata, gudu gudu gudu nemastatement, vanhu vanovhunduka-ka. We want peace. Noise ngaiite shoma. We need new leaders.🇿🇼

Today is Question Time in @ParliamentZim. I've sent notice for a number of questions to @MoHCCZim, @ZimTreasury @ Home Affairs. I believe that now is the time to quantify the amounts collected from auctions of goods confiscated from informal traders and account for it.

Through the WYLP project, this week we're conducting #leadership training for Gwanda Rural District Council and Gwanda Municipality’s first-time councilors. Today's focus: Dynamic feedback and group sessions to sharpen their skills. #WomenInLeadership @euinzim @IrlEmbPretoria

I have accepted an invitation to jointly address the World Teen Parliament this afternoon. I wish to utilize this opportunity to reflect on the actions I would have taken if my teenage years had coincided with the technological advancements we enjoy today.

By championing our Gender Equality Action Plan 👉bit.ly/PlanGenderEqua… and joining a global effort to #AccelerateAction—uplifting feminist organizations, boosting political participation (especially among young women), and forging intersectional solidarity—we’re rewriting the rules for lasting gender equality.
