“Tshabangu smiles all the way to the bank.” screamed the Bulawayo 24 headline accompanied by a picture of Senator Sengezo Tshabangu smiling from ear to ear!
“Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) interim leader Sengezo Tshabangu stands to benefit financially after the government disbursed over ZWL 22 million to the opposition party as part of the political parties finance fund,” Bulawayo 24 reported.
“The distribution, outlined in the Government Gazette, allocated ZWL 22,116,500 (US$1.6m at official exchange rate) to the CCC out of a total of ZWL 70 million for parties that participated in the August 2023 harmonized elections.”
This is only a fraction of the gravy train good-life package. There is the US$60 000 car loan, the generous salary and allowances, in 2022 there surprise US$40 000 house loan (no doubt there will be one in the pipeline), etc., etc. No wonder CCC leaders were falling over themselves to take up their gravy train seats even after SADC and AU elections observers had dismissed the 2023 elections as flawed and illegal.
Of course, Fadzayi Mahere, David Coltart, etc. all knew the elections were flawed and, worse still, that their participating would give Zanu PF legitimacy. They had their eyes on the gravy train loot and did not give a damn about anything else.
“Conclusion 13.3
The SEOM (SADC Election Observer Mission) noted that, as detailed in sections 6 and 7 of this report, some aspects of the Harmonised Elections fell short of the requirements of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, the Electoral Act, and the SADC Principles and Guidelines Governing Democratic Elections (2021),” stated the SEOM report.
The SEOM report was clear as day, the 2023 election was flawed and illegal and, per se, did not produce a legitimate government. “So why did SADC fail to come out right and deny this Zanu PF regime political legitimacy, as the regional body did following the marred 2008 elections?” some Zimbabweans continue to ask.
What these Zimbabweans have failed to ask is; What good came out of the 2008 to 2013 GNU?
Mugabe bribed the MDC leaders with the trapping of high office and they, in return, kicked all the democratic reforms the GNU was tasked to implement into the thorny-devil Cactus. What good would come out of SADC sponsoring yet another GNU now particularly when we still have the same corrupt and incompetent opposition leaders of yesteryear!
Robert Mugabe and his Zanu PF friends used the rhetoric of freedom, one-man one-vote, etc. to gain confidence and support of the masses in the fight to end white colonial oppression. What Mugabe & co. really wanted was to take the white men’s place as the new oppressors.
“Zimbabwe is what it is because of a political subculture, centred on the ruling party, that has hegemony and subjugation as its highest ideals. Violence, disdain, paranoia and plunder are among its natural progeny. It is fundamentally antithetical to genuine political competition, dissent and notions of stewardship,” wrote Stuart Doran in the Strategist.
Zanu PF believe they have the right to rule the country and to the choicest fruit by right of conquest, they spearheaded the liberation war. They would rather burn the whole country to ashes than see anyone else rule. Zimbabwe is a failed state and in economic ruins.
44 years of corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF misrule have turned Zimbabwe from an upper middle income nation with a robust economic infrastructure, the bread-basket of the region into one of the poorest nations failing to provide its people with even the most basic services such as education and health care and everywhere there is rot and decay. We could not even hold on to what we inherited from the whites in 1980 much less build on it!
It took nearly 20 years for most Zimbabweans to finally admit that Robert Mugabe and his Zanu PF friends were corrupt, incompetent and murderous thugs. The people realised that as long as Zanu PF retained its dictatorial powers to rig elections, the regime would drag the whole nation deeper and deeper into this hell-on-earth it had landed the nation into ever since 1980. What was to be done to stop Zanu PF dragging the nation into hell?
The solution was self-evident: the nation must elect opposition leaders who will implement the democratic reforms to end Zanu PF’s dictatorial powers to rig elections! The late Morgan Tsvangirai and his friends launched their party in 1999 to answer the nation’s call for democratic reforms naming the party appropriately, Movement for Democratic Reforms (MDC).
Zanu PF not only blatantly rigged the 2023 elections but got away with it precisely because MDC/CCC leaders have not only failed to implement even one token democratic reform in 24 years, including 5 in the GNU, but have been participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy all out of greed and incompetence.
Chamisa & co. have again and again conned Zimbabweans to participate in flawed elections knowing fully well that Zanu PF was rigging the elections and participating will give the regime legitimacy. Chamisa & co. are gearing to participate in the 2028 elections with no reforms to stop Zanu PF rigging and will, no doubt, come up with yet another idiotic winning in rigged election lie to entice their brain dead followers to participate in the millions.
44 years of corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF misrule have taken a heavy toll on this nation, the longer this continues the deeper the nation will sink and the harder and longer it will take to get out - if at all. Zanu PF has continues to rig elections and drag us deeper and deeper into this hell-on-earth these last 24 years because we have been slow to accept the MDC/CCC leaders sold out just as the nation had taken 20 years to admit Zanu PF leaders were thugs!
Chamisa & co. participated in the flawed 2023 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuating the dictatorship out of greed. In the ensuing CCC factional war for the spoils, the Sengezo Tshabangu faction prevailed and they are cashing in the US$ 1.6 million Political Party Finance Act annual bonanza. Make no mistake, Chamisa & co. will be participating in flawed 2028 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy to perpetuate the nation’s suffering out of greed.
It is for the people of Zimbabwe to wake up to the political reality that MDC/CCC leaders have done nothing to implement the democratic reforms to stop Zanu PF rigging elections. Zanu PF has continued to rig elections and loot the nation’s resources for 44 years or be it, the last 24 years with the connivance of MDC/CCC. It is for the people of Zimbabwe, not SADC, to stop the rigging and looting.

CCC participated in the 2023 elections knowing fully well this will give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate nation's suffering. They soldiered on regardless out of greed and Tshabangu has just cashed the US$1.6m bonanza annual reward! CCC are gearing to participate in 2028 elections for the same gravy train rewards.

Some home truths we could do with in Zimbabwe. We have Mnangagwa who was Mugabe’s henchman for 37 years and yet launched his Second Republic and has pretended that he had nothing to do with Mugabe era! The nation is being forced to “give Mnangagwa time” to deliver vision 2030 or be it we continued to be denied a meaningful say until then.
What if he failed as Mugabe failed? If he is still in power he would still want to rig elections and create a Third Republic complete with a new vision 2040 or something!
Zanu PF blatantly rigged 2023 elections and should and must hold Mnangagwa to account NOW and not be fogged off with the empty vision 2030. If we cannot hold the regime to democratic account now what is there to makes us believe we can do it in 2030 when it will be too late to turn back the clock!
After 44 years of gross mismanagement, rampant corruption and murderous tyrannical rule there is a lot to hold Mnangagwa and company to account. To forgo the right to hold Zanu PF to account on the basis of tomorrow will be better than yesterday is a con man’s number one trick and only fools fall for it again and again and again!

“It’s a Zimbabwean 🇿🇼 thing to blame the victim and exonerate the perpetrators of injustice . What a cowardly bunch of people you are.”
Are you sure you do not mean “It is a Zimbabwean thing to do nothing or, worse still, shoot themselves in the foot so they can claim to be the powerless and helpless victim!”
Zimbabwe is a failed state because we, the people, have again and again failed to stand up and do the right thing even when we had the golden opportunity to do so. Yes Zimbabweans have paid dearly for the 44 years of corrupt and tyrannical rule but it must be said we have done little to deserve anything else other than this Zanu PF regime complete with its outrage of corrupt and useless opposition.

Mnangagwa created Second Republic to avoid being held to account for 37 years of Zanu PF misrule. Zimbabweans fell for it!
Vision 2030 is a mirage to draw attention away from the present reality of economic meltdown and the fact that it is getting worse with no sign of any recovery. Again Zimbabweans took their eyes of the reality to concentrate on the mirage!
Mnangagwa rigged 2018 and 2023 elections, just as Zanu PF has rigged elections ever since 1980, and plans to rig 2028 too. Of course he is illegitimate and should be demanding accountability and legitimacy. If we cannot hold Zanu PF to account, have not done so 44 years and counting, it is naive to believe will do so when vision 2030 is indeed a mirage.
People are accountable for what have done or failed to do in the past and not what they might do in the future. After 44 years of misrule Zanu PF has a lot to account for it is nonsense giving Mnangagwa "a chance". A chance to do what? We will never rewind 44 years clock. Never!
Mnangagwa rigged 2023 elections, he is illegitimate, should be in prison not state house, he must go now. Period!

How anyone can continue to deny that Chamisa & co. participated in 2023 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and to perpetuate our suffering out of greed beggars belief. Tshabangu has just cashed the US$1.6m bonanza from Uncle Mnangagwa with love.
Like it or not Chamisa is going to launch the blue train to participate in flawed 2028 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and to perpetuate our suffering and hope another Mwonzora/Tshabangu will not emerge to rob him of the spoils!
How millions have believed CCC's idiotic lies and conned to participate in the flawed elections speaks volumes of their ignorance and naivety. What will it take to finally open their eyes and minds!

This is no different from Zanu PF’s “if you want to rule Zimbabwe then you too should have fought in the liberation war!”
Let me say this again: all those who have held, are holding or aspire to hold public office are democratically accountable to the people. And by the people, I mean everybody regardless of gender, race, tribe, political affiliation, etc., etc. This is not negotiable.
It is a great pity that we still have nincompoops like you who considers a mere mortal like Nelson Chamisa as an infallible demigod who must never ever be held to account. Chamisa & co. have failed to implement even one token reform in 24 years, including 5 in the GNU. Chamisa lied about plugging all vote rigging loop holes to stop Zanu PF rigging elections to con his brain dead followers to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and thus perpetuating the nation’s suffering. He must account for this!
@ Mbofana
“The debate rages on as to President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa's true intentions regarding his stay in power.
Is he stepping down as demanded by the country's Constitution at the end of his two-term limit in 2028, or will he seek to stay on regardless?
No one really believes Mnangagwa's assurances that he would not be extending his stay in office.
What with all the increased noise by the ruling ZANU PF party - through endless resolutions - for Mnangagwa to go beyond 2028.”
Mnangagwa did not only get into power in 2017 through military coup but has gone on to extend his stay by rigging the 2018 and then the 2023 elections. Both SADC and AU election observers have condemned the 2023 elections and so Mnangagwa and his Zanu PF regime are, per se, illegitimate. It is not surprising that the illegitimate regime is already scheming how to extend its stay in power by hook and by crook.
Mnangagwa’s vision 2030 is a mirage and the regime is making a big song and dance about it to draw attention away from the reality of the country’s worsening economic situation. Mnangagwa does not want o be judge on what he has done or failed to do these last 7 years, much less the 37 years as Mugabe’s henchman; only on what he would have achieved in 2030. This is the oldest trick of every conman - convince the victim that the future is so bright whatever you suffering now or have suffered is worth it!
Mnangagwa plans to rig the 2028 elections and so even if it is as clear as bell that vision 2030 is indeed a mirage the nation will have no say on his stay in power then just as we had no say in 2017, 2018 or 2023! Mnangagwa has never ever been democratically accountable to the people and that is not going to change in 2028.
Mnangagwa is illegitimate and we should be fighting to have him removed from office now because he is only there to consolidate his hold on power. He has no respect of the rule of law or the people’s right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country. Never did!
@ Seal
“But ccc is not the main problem its Zanu + so opposition is - they are in bed. Its Zanu doing bad things running everything in Zim. Opposition is just bending over allowing mating🏃♀️🏃♂️season which is elections🤡”
In a country like the UK, the primary purpose of the opposition is to hold the government of the day to account. What, in your opinion is the primary purpose of the MDC/CCC?
@ Brasso
“Zim electoral system is very transparent, thus why Chamisa is always confident of winning in all these elections.
At one time he said " this time it is going to be ED complaining about rigging"
he also said " ED has no room to rig elections "
these two statements explains a transparent system not easy to manipulate.”
Mnangagwa said the 2023 elections were free, fair and credible!
It does not matter what Chamisa, Mnangagwa, you or me say; what matters is what the evidence on the ground say. The 2023 elections were not free, fair and credible because there was no verified voters’ roll, rural voters were frogmarched to attend Zanu PF rallies and to vote, etc., etc.
@ Naison
“Ko iwewe as an individual wat had you deliver for the 23 yrs even to yor family unotopengawo zvako iwe.”
So if I have not accomplished anything in my private life, I cannot hold those in public office to account? I am not asking Mnangagwa or Chamisa to account for what they did or did not do in their private lives but only what they did or did not do in public office.
The issue of those in public life being accountable to the people is simple and straight forward to anyone with half a brain - how else can democracy work. However to the simpletons with their personality cult mentality, holding leaders to account is a no, no. To them leaders are demigods and how can a mere mortal hold a demigod to account.
How anyone can even consider a buffoon like Mnangagwa or an upstart like Chamisa with all their proven track record as corrupt, incompetent and, in the case of the former, a murderous tyrant beggars belief.
It is very sad that 44 years after independence in this day and age some one is still failing to understand even the most basic requirements of democratic accountability - leaders being accountable to the electorate. Fcuk me! No wonder we are a failed state.
“What have you delivered in your life?” So leaders are accountable to the high achievers like you alone? Is that it? What a nincompoop!
@ Naison Chikuni
“So they failed us anyway toitasei instead of acting like kids kungovanana do have solution.”
Even getting you to admit that the political leaders “failed us” is a great achievement indeed. Now may I dare to ask you where they failed us?
I have often heard idiots wittering endlessly about wanting solutions only to find they have no clue where and how the nation has been misled. The idiots will grudgingly admit to the politicians l failures, especially their preferred political party leaders. One has only to ask the idiots to name where and how the leaders failed and the idiots’ shallowness and vanity is crystal clear! They cannot name any failures!
@ King Fish
“Why are you not taking a stand and do what the opposition has failed. Form a party or do anything to put a mark in the history of Zim freedom and independence. MDC & CCC failed you and Zimbabweans but continue watching people selling out. Do some my brother.”
Here we go again! Are you saying we cannot hold MDC/CCC leaders to account for what they have failed to do until we all take a stand and form our own political parties?
It is very sad that 44 years after independence in this day and age some village idiot is still failing to understand that holding leaders to account is the very heart and soul of democratic accountability. Leaders must be accountable to the people, that is not negotiable.
Fcuk me! In Zimbabwe leaders are untouchable. No wonder we are a failed state.
@ Mura
MDC leaders failed to implement even one reforms during the GNU not because Zanu PF “hijacked” the state institutions it is sad that you have failed to comprehend the real reasons even now with the benefit of hindsight.

“Kana musina solution garai pasi mumirire kuti UZA irikutirongerei it's not time to pinpoint we need solutions musatipedzere nguva.”
You have no clue why we are in this mess, just as I had said. So now you believe UZA has the solutions to the problems you don’t know! How typical!
@ King Fish
You have no clue what is going on here. You have always had your head buried in Chamisa’s backside and followed him faithfully no questions asked. You do not know what the reforms are much less that MDC leaders sold out by failing to implement even one reform in 24 years. How can you hold them to account for something you do not know.
But just because you a nincompoop who has no clue what is going on does not mean everyone else is a nincompoop and I certainly refuse to have an idiot like you tell me what to do.
I know Chamisa and company sold out on reforms and have been participating in these flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and to perpetuate the nation's suffering out of greed. I know Chamisa lied about plugging all vote rigging loop hole to con idiots like you to participate in last year's elections.
Worst of all, Chamisa & co. are gearing to con you lot into participating in flawed 2028 elections on the basis of yet another set of idiotic lies to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the nation's suffering.
I am here to force you to see Chamisa & co.for the corrupt, incompetent and liars they are and to point out to you the sheer folly of participating in the flawed elections. I know this is a huge challenge, there were 2 million Chamisa Chete Chete nincompoops who voted for him last year and 4 million plus in diaspora cheered and bankrolled the elections; that is a lot. Still the message MUST and WILL be hammered home because Zimbabwe cannot afford to let Zanu PF rig another election and get away with it!
https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1eaKbaBNlOYxX
We cannot stop Zanu PF rigging 2028 elections; Zanu PF will never reform itself out of office. Mnangagwa is fighting to extend his rule by having a third term and that is matters to ordinary Zimbabweans if he succeeds in that or not no more than it matters to a mouse whether the snake before it is a cobra or black mamba. Zanu PF will rig 2028 and our task is stopping the regime getting away with it.
Chamisa & co. are gearing to participate in flawed 2028 on the basis of more idiotic lies of winning RIGGED elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuating our suffering out of greed.
Our A1 task is to force the Chamisa Chete Chete brigade to open their eyes and minds to see MDC/CCC leaders for the corrupt, incompetent and lying sellouts they are and to see the sheer folly of participating in flawed elections to perpetuate their own and the nation's suffering. 2 million of these morons believed Chamisa's lies and so it is no easy task!
@ BaChipeneti
Why? Because I have dare to say Zanu PF rigged the elections with the connivance of MDC/CCC leaders and that you were foolish to believe Chamisa’s lies? Well I will say it again and again because it is true and it must be said!
@ Don't forget to pray
I do not care whether he s interested in a third term or not my primary concern is stopping Zanu PF rigging elections and getting away with it! He rigged 2023 elections and got away with it because CCC participated to give the regime legitimacy - that is the point!
@ BaChipeneti
If MDC/CCC leaders did not sell out on reforms then why is Zanu PF still able to rig elections? Like is or not MDC/ CCC leaders sold out and they are accountable to the people - that is not negotiable!
@ BaChipeneti
Millions of Zimbabweans risked all to elect MDC/CCC leaders these last 24 years to implement reforms to stop Zanu PF rigging elections. Chamisa lied about plugging vote rigging loop holes to con people into participating in flawed elections. He must account for this regardless of whether I form a political party or not!
Those holding public office are and must be accountable to the people. This is a key tenet of a healthy and functioning democratic system and one that must be hammered into village idiots like you who think leaders are demigods! I have a sludge hammer and will hammer it in your empty head!
Zanu PF is a party of thugs whose core values are corruption and political intrigue. The biggest mistake Zimbabweans can make here is to believe they can choose between Mnangagwa and Chiwenga, a mouse does not have much of a choice between a cobra and a black mamba - they are both deadly snakes, they are both ruthless thugs.
@ Charles Mavhunga
“This is utterly nonsensical and irresponsible to suggest that ZANU PF, the party that fought tirelessly for Zimbabwe's liberation, has failed the electorate. The party's contributions to the country's freedom and development is undeniable and warrant recognition.
ZANU PF's heroic struggle against colonialism and white minority rule secured Zimbabwe's independence and paved the way for the enfranchisement of the black majority. The party's leadership negotiated a peaceful transition to democracy, ensuring a stable foundation for the country's future.”
Zimbabwe is a failed state, a pariah state ruled by corrupt, incompetent and murderous thugs who have rigged elections for 44 years and counting to stay in power. There are village idiots like you who are denying the reality that millions of our people are living in abject poverty, do not even know what constitute free and fair elections and are given to praising the regime no matter what.
You do not have the intellect to comprehend facts, truth and reality. It is utterly pointless discussing anything with you.
The tragedy for Zimbabwe is there are millions of brain dead individuals just like you on both sides of the political divide. Chamisa conned 2 million of his moronic supporters to participate in the flawed 2023 elections only to give Zanu PF legitimacy and thus perpetuating the nation’s suffering. And, to crown it all, you and your nincompoop friends have the vote.
No wonder Zimbabwe is a failed state; we have buffoons for leaders and a braindead electorate keen as mustard to keep them in power.
It is not all those who fight who believe in the cause, there is a mountain of evidence proving that Robert Mugabe and his Zanu PF fought did not fight to end oppression but rather to be the next oppressors. You have failed to see the evidence because you do not have even the common sense to see anything of substance. Sad really that any one can be so shallow, thick and slow!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXd1hTi65po
In 2017 the people of Zimbabwe made the foolish mistake of siding with Mnangagwa and Chiwenga in the military coup the ousted Mugabe. We were concerned with "Mugabe must go!" when it was "Zanu PF must go!" we should have been concerned about. We must not repeat the same foolish mistake again.
It will be foolish to side with Chiwenga in the Third Term Zanu PF factional war when we stand to gain nothing since both Mnangagwa and Chiwenga will RIG 2028 elections and impose themselves as the next dictators.
We want to end the curse of rigged elections and bad governance and not merely replacing one dictator with another.

What lessons can we, in Zimbabwe, learn from the Trump vs Harris 10 September 2024 presidential debate?
For one thing, Trump still maintain that he won the 2020 elections although he has failed to produce any evidence. He tried to impose himself by undermining the democratic will of the people in the 6 January 2020 assault on Capital Hill. He failed. In Zimbabwe Mnangagwa rigged the 2023 elections, imposed himself and got away with it.
We not only have an illegitimate government but are clearly at a lose as how to end the curse of rigged elections and bad governance. Zanu PF has rigged elections for 44 years and is set to rig the upcoming 2028 elections! We have learned nothing!
@ Natanyahu
"Rigging elections doesnt affect the economy. Some countries don't even have democracy, but they prosper. Examples, Qatar, China, Saudi Arabia."
What makes you think the people of China, etc. do not want to have a meaningful say in the governance of the country. In any case Zimbabwe is NOT developing and we have been denied a meaningful say in the governance of the country.
Of course, we are stuck with the corrupt and tyrannical dictatorship and you want us to live in hope that Zimbabwe will be another China. How nauseating!
@ Netanyahu
How naive. So you think having a dictatorship is Zimbabwe’s guarantee for peace and economic prosperity! Have you noticed that for the last 44 years, since has been on economic decline.

Mnangagwa owns farms stretching to the horizon and yet is denying the rural povo title deeds to even one acre of land on which their mud hovel is built for the same selfish political reasons Ian Smith denied blacks the title deeds. The 1980 independence marked the end of white colonial oppression but only to see it replaced by black tyrannical oppression. For the ordinary blacks nothing changed because oppression is oppression is oppression!
The day povo finally have title deeds to even one acre of land will be the most momentous day in their life and, indeed, the nation's history because that will be the day the ordinary Zimbabweans are truly free to live in human dignity!

Zimbabwe is a failed state because we, the people, have a tribesman mentality, we think we know it all we in reality we know very little. "A little learning is a dangerous thing!" We have put our trust in leaders and followed them blindly and they have exploited that weakness to no end. Chamisa conned millions into participating in flawed 2023 election on the basis of an idiotic lie that he had plugged all the vote rigging loop holes.
If we are serious about getting out of this hell-hole we need to be a lot smarter. After 44 years of rigged elections, we should learn and end this insanity!
@Prof Lumumba
Zimbabwe is one of those Africa countries. 2 millions Zimbabweans were conned to participate in a flawed elections by a blatant lie that Chamisa had plugged all the vote rigging loop holes. They have been complaining that the elections were rigged but do not have the guts to admit they were foolish in being so ignorant and gullible.
Chamisa is already gearing for 2028 and they WILL participate for umpteenth time on basis of yet another idiotic lie only to perpetuate their own suffering.
Zimbabweans will complain all they want about the rigged elections and their suffering but no one will listen because we have brought all this upon ourselves. Kurumwa nechokuchera.

WE CANNOT STOP ZANU PF RIGGING 2028 ELECTIONS BUT CAN STOP THE REGIME GETTING POLITICAL LEGITIMACY BY STOPPING THE 2 MILLION PARTICIPATING!
@ Chin’ono
“In contrast, Mnangagwa runs a pariah state known for its corrupt and rapacious greed, which funnels public money into private pockets while its people wallow in abject poverty.
What is there to celebrate when, under Mnangagwa, Zimbabwe has the highest inflation rate in the world, a 95% unemployment rate, a collapsed healthcare system, terrible roads, and cannot provide clean drinking water in any of Zimbabwe’s towns and cities?
Additionally, it has the most corrupt government in its modern history, the list is long!
By claiming the title Munhumutapa, Mnangagwa seems to be trying to evoke a sense of grandeur and historical legitimacy for his illegitimate regime.
However, the reality of his administration's performance stands in sharp contrast to the accomplishments of the historical Kingdom of Mutapa, which was known for its wealth, regional influence, and successful trade networks.
Instead of focusing on superficial gestures like naming a day after Munhumutapa and comically equating himself to those great rulers, Mnangagwa's government should prioritise addressing the pressing issues facing Zimbabweans today and simply stop stealing public funds through the criminal networks housed in the president’s office.
Celebrating works that don’t exist is not only comical and tragic, it is embarrassing!
Spending state resources on such useless events while begging the international community for food relief just shows how useless Mnangagwa and his regime are to Zimbabwe and how they have no moral compass!
Hospitals have no medicines, yet the regime plans these junkets, whatever Zimbabweans did to deserve this man and his regime must be so strong to deserve such a historic curse!”
The tragedy is we, Zimbabweans are our own worst enemy, we have been participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate our own suffering because we believed Chamisa’s idiotic lies of plugging vote rigging loop holes.
Whilst the 2 million have complained of Zanu PF rigging the elections, they do not even have the common sense to acknowledge they were foolish to be so easily conned by Chamisa. They have learned nothing and so will be participating in 2028 on the basis of another idiotic lie to perpetuate their own suffering!
At a press briefing at the party headquarters in Harare on Thursday, Zanu-PF Information Secretary Christopher Mutsvangwa emphasized that any decision regarding an extension of Mnangagwa's presidency will be made by Zanu-PF members, not "outsiders."
"The President is committed to upholding Zimbabwe's Constitution and has stated that he will not seek a third term," Mutsvangwa said. "The decision about leadership after 2028 will be made within Zanu-PF and not influenced by external forces. The upcoming Congress will determine the party's direction.”
Zanu PF members have had some say in the governance of Zimbabwe and the same cannot be said of ordinary Zimbabweans. Zanu PF rigged the 2023 elections as both SADC and AU rightly observed; nothing new as the party has blatantly rigged all the elections in the past. This Zanu PF government is illegitimate and, unless we do something to stop the Chamisa Chete Chete brigade participating in their millions again, will rig 2028 to extend its rule.
Our number one priority is stopping Zanu PF getting away with yet another rig elections. Whether the post 2028 dictator is Mnangagwa or someone else is as irrelevant to the ordinary Zimbabwean as a mouse facing a cobra or a black mamba - either dictator is a deadly snake!
In 2017 the nation should have demanded the end of the dictatorship and refused to be distracted by the “Mugabe must go!” euphoria. Stopping Mnangagwa getting a third term at the expense of Zanu PF rigging and getting away with yet another rigged elections will be yet another Pyrrhic victory.
@ Chi
“Mathew 10 vs 24 - ‘No student is greater than his teacher ‘ , the 2 million Chamisa chete chete taught you how Zanu election shenanigans can be exposed to the international community. Considering, - The khampepe Report of 2002 on Zim elections which found out that the elections were rigged, was never published by Thambo Mbeki and SADC.”
How naive! Did MDC leaders fail to implement even one token reforms during the 2008 to 2013 GNU “to expose Zanu PF shenanigans” too?
All the CCC leaders like Fadzayi Mahere, David Coltart, etc. who won in the 2023 elections took up their gravy train seats insisting they won in “liberated zones” even after SADC and AU had condemned the elections. No doubt, they did this not out of greed but “to expose Zanu PF shenanigans”.
SADC condemned the 2023 election as flawed but did not deny Zanu PF legitimacy because CCC and 2 million Zimbabweans participated. No doubt you would argue this was the appropriate thank you to Zimbabweans for “exposing Zanu PF shenanigans!”
Chamisa is gearing to participate in 2028 and will con the usual suspects to participate to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the dictatorship. You will, no doubt, thank Chamisa and company for their contribution in “exposing Zanu PF shenanigans”!
No wonder Zimbabwe is a failed state, we have some of the most naive people on planet earth! The greatest problem is one cannot reason with these morons and yet they have the right to vote!

Corruption is a serious disease and in Zimbabwe it has gone untreated for so long it has spread and evolved to the point it is a deadly killer. Why? Because all the normal societal checks and balance such as the police, the judiciary, etc. which should stamp out corruption have all but disappeared.
Zanu PF ruling elite have corrupted the police, judiciary including the opposition into Zanu PF departments in all but name. Mnangagwa and company enjoy absolute power and they are the godfathers behind the rampant and wholesale corruption in Zimbabwe. The regime has some of the looted wealth to consolidate its iron grip on power, dismantling the Zanu PF dictatorship is going to be a challenge.
We cannot stop Zanu Pf rigging 2028 elections nor stop Chamisa & co. participating out of greed. What we can and must do is deny Zanu PF legitimacy by stopping the brainwashed Chamisa Chete Chete brigade participating in their millions. If Chamisa and the 2 million herd had not participated in last year flawed elections SADC would have denied Zanu PF legitimacy.
@ Chihwa Daniel
Vaita mudiki Sahwira paDictatorial politics dzeZanu. I can see that a ‘Moron’ is so naive that MDC was going to bring and succeed in any political and legislative reforms. Let me remind you only two things then I will never argue with a ‘moron’ again
Categorically- Political and legal Reforms
There is no way on earth where a dictatorship can reform itself out of power! Zanu planted a strategic stumbling block in the form of, ‘ a legal and parliamentary affairs minister’- a hardcore Zanoid. Everything to do with reforms will not pass there. Internal settlement between MDC and the whole GNU had no other option to bring reforms and had to try external forces . Remember MDC not Chamisa have been accused of ‘begging for sanctions’.
Not even anyone of the MDC leaders with half a brain have ever said that Zanu PF stopped them implementing any reforms during the GNU because they know that is nonsense. However it is not surprising to hear say that - you are a moron with no clue what you wittering about!
Just because MDC/CCC sold out on reforms does not mean no one else can implement the reforms. Zanu PF are just a bunch of ruthless thugs but, nonetheless, brainless buffoons. They are not the indomitable lions you are portraying them to be.
@ Clint
“Mukoma Wiri hamusi mutendi I know but I can give u some homework mombodzidza mutemo mbichana.Read the whole book of Judges zvakanyorwa mumagwaro mobile!Judges were brought about to save the weak from injustice!If it was not for them dai vamwe vanhu vari kufema right now vakafa kare!Mnangagwa chaiye has to keep justifying what he does but it's exhausting and kana uchiita zviri wrong the tide will turn against you.That critical moment has not been reached yet in Zimbabwe despite nyaya dzanaChivhayo naChimombe naMpofu idzi!Let's prepare for farming!”
Of all the feeble excuses I ever heard why MDC/CCC have sold out on implementing the democratic reforms this takes the biscuit. So why did Chamisa say CCC was going to win the 2023 elections if he knew all along that the time for change had not been reached??
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkXVuY6EFEA
Zimbabwe is a failed state and one of the reasons why is because the nation had no detailed plan of where we are, where we want to go, how we were to get there, rigorous system to check and monitor progress, etc. etc. Zanu PF has stifled debate and democratic competition, the guarantors of a well thought out plan and that it is carefully implemented, in the name of unity.
"YOUR DIRECTION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SPEED. MANY GO FAST, BUT NOWHERE. YOU MUST NEVER EVER STIFLE COMPETITION UNDER THE PRETEXT OF UNITY FOR IT IS THE GUARANTOR OF DIRECTION AND COMPETENCE."
The tragedy for Zimbabwe is that not only do we have more than our fair share of morons but we compounded the problem by giving them the vote! And now the morons think they have right to dictate to the rational thinkers and hold the nation to ransom!
@ Mahupete
“Hove huru, you miss the point. In the oppositional circus, for that is what it is, the only entity with traction is Chamisa. As I have stated in earlier comments, ana Wiri desperately need Chamisa but he doesn't need them even for a second. They needed Chamisa to win the elections and had already planned a takeover of the party post elections as a means to further their agenda.
When you look at the 2 million pro Chamisa figure touted here, it is very disturbing to accept kuti iwe, the Chamisa critic, can't garner more than 2k votes. Moreso when you believe you possess a higher intellect and calling. So, what comes across as hatred is actually envy and frustration. Wiri is basically a Chamisa chete chete albeit from a different perspective. No Chamisa, no Wiri, no Ibbo nekuti panenge pasisina platform. Ndo tragedy ya Wiri.”
“A little learning is a dangerous thing!” said the English poet Alexander Pope. You are a living example of the dangerous morons Pope was talking about.
You have failed to understand what constitute free, fair and credible elections and it is little wonder you have failed to comprehend many, many other things. Chamisa and company failed to implement even one reform during the GNU and have been participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy all out of greed. Chamisa was lying about CCC winning big because he had plugged all the vote rigging loop holes and only the brain dead Chamisa Chete Chete brigade believed the idiotic lies.
So why should I been envy a corrupt, incompetent and lying upstart like Chamisa? Man is supposed to be a creature of reason and I am ashamed that any Zimbabwean should be so ignorant and naive to believe Chamisa is a demigod and be so easily conned to believe the upstart’s idiotic lies. I am dumbfounded that the brain dead Chamisa Chete Chete brigade out there are over 2 million.
Zimbabwe is a failed state because we have failed to hold free and fair elections. Even after 44 years of Zanu PF rigging elections and the last 24 years of which was with MDC/CCC help. But what would a nincompoops like you and King Fish know about such matters.
@ Dhlamini
“You concentrate on one politician, labelling him a liar. What about others who have lied and continue to lie. We have clips on social media.”
So Chamisa is not a liar because others have lied too? If the others have lied then why are you not holding them to account. I am not stopping you!
Fcuk me! Some of the arguments are so stupid, no wonder Zimbabwe is a failed state!

@ Miss Mujati
Mwonzora and Mashakada in UK to take advantage of Kate Hayes and other Labour softs.
We, who can see the sheer folly of MDC/CCC participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy have failed to articulate the true narrative and it is little wonder the sell out MDC/CCC leaders have taken advantage of it.
@ Mujati
“He is coming to UK with Mashakada yet the wise we know Mwonzora is a Paul Mangwana prodigy dzingori noise to keep coming to uk.....he is an EDiot Supporter.”
Still Mwonzora and Mashakada played a very small and insignificant role is participating in 2023 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuating the Zanu PF dictatorship. They role in 2028 elections will be equally insignificant.
If Chamisa had not conned his 2 million brain dead supporters to participate in the flawed elections, constituting the 44% of the voters, then SADC would have denied Zanu PF legitimacy. All the other 9 opposition leaders garnered a mere 4% of the votes.
So why are you concerned with the ticks and fleas and say nothing of the elephant in the room, Chamisa and his 2 million brainwashed morons. Stop the morons participating in 2028 elections and you will deny Zanu PF the oxygen, political legitimacy. Get rid of the elephant and the problems of space, ticks, fleas, dandruff, etc. will disappear!
FOCUS!
@ Cornwell Mutetwa
"If 2m Zimbabweans are foolish where is the rest of the clever ones ?"
Never mind the 2 million, do you think participating in a flawed election to give vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy is foolish? So you think if 2 million do the foolish thing it is no longer foolish?

If Americans vote for Trump then they deserve Trump. Zimbabweans did NOT vote for Mnangagwa, he rigged the 2023 elections, still we deserve Mnangagwa because we have done nothing to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections for the last 44 years and counting.
It is unforgivable that we have failed to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections and dragging the nation into this hell-on-earth even when the nation had the golden opportunity to do so during the 2008 to 2013 GNU.
It is almost certain Zanu PF will rig 2028 elections and get away with it because millions will, once again, participate to give Zanu PF legitimacy. How anyone much less a nation can be this foolish beggars belief!

6 778 UZ graduated 2% will find job the rest join the unemployed/under employed mount Everest!
Chamisa's A NEW CITIZENS AFFAIRS PLAN - #Godisinit promises unemployed graduates employment "from Day one of the new administration"! For 24 years and counting none of MDC/CCC master plans have ever seen the light of day, this will be no exception. God is NOT in any of these Chamisa hare-brain schemes.
Chamisa is using the plan to entice the graduates to participate in the flawed 2028 elections to give vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy. Alas! Many graduate will swallow the bait and join the 2 million plus brain washed Chamisa Chete Chete brigade, the insane! It is bad enough Chamisa is conning my Aunt in the rural back waters with his idiotic plans and lies but not University graduates and highly qualified professional too. University graduates devoid of even common sense!

“Seek ye first the political kingdom and all other things shall be added unto you,” said Dr Kwame Nkrumah, First President of Independent Ghana.
Alas! We, in Zimbabwe, have yet to learn that it is foolish to expect the economic prosperity, peace and justice to be delivered to us from a regime that we cannot hold to account. The 37 years of corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF rule should have taught us a lesson to ake sure we secure our political right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country.
In 2017 we were foolish to believe Mnangagwa will do any better. He has rigged elections to consolidate his strangle hold on power and is now bullying and bamboozling the nation into celebrating vision 2030 - a mirage. When the penny finally drop we will realise we cannot hold him to account because we have yet to secure the political kingdom!
@ Balakazi
Some people cannot bear to hear the truth spoken and so they habitually dismiss it as madness. Of course, it is true that Zimbabwe is a failed state and we are in this mess because Zanu PF has rigged elections these last 44 years the last 24 years of which with the connivance of MDC/CCC. I dare you to deny this is not true!

Mnangagwa has his dirty fingers in every pie! Why should government be involved in Starlink? How many parastatals are a heavy burden to the nation thanks to this Zanu PF government's interference? There are already serious limitations, legal and illegal, stifling freedom of expression and free media in Zimbabwe Zanu PF ownership and control of Starlink will only give the regime even greater control of the social media for propaganda purposes and worse!
@ Chasura
“I have lost count of them. Chamisa this Chamisa that. It's as if your brain is programmed to talk about Chamisa. It's nauseating!”
I did not say name how MANY lies I have said. I said name one! You have lost count of the lies I have said and yet cannot name one.
I will help you. I have said MDC/CCC have failed to implement even one token reform in 24 years including 5 years in the 2008 to 2013 GNU. If I am lying then name one reform they have implemented.
I have said MDC/CCC have participated in flawed elections knowing that will give Zanu PF legitimacy out of greed. Can you deny that?
Chamisa lied about “MDC A has stringent measures to stop Zanu PF rigging 2018 elections. #Godisinit!” In 2023 he lied about “plugging all vote rigging loop holes. #Godisinit!” His brain dead supporters believed the lies and participated in the flawed elections giving Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuating the nation’s suffering.
The tragedy in Zimbabwe is we have some brain dead nincompoops who are so foolish, they think Chamisa is an infallible demigod no one should hold to account. They have no regard of the heartbreaking suffering of millions of ordinary Zimbabweans brought about by Chamisa and company’s betrayal. Chamisa is not only a mere mortal but corrupt, incompetent and a liar. And only a moron would deny that much less defend him!
I am determined to stop the Chamisa Chete Chete brigade being conned into participating in 2028 elections in their millions and give Zanu PF legitimacy. And any moron who dares to try to stop me by calling me a liar or worse Lord have mercy on him/her because I will grind the moron, bone and grizzle, into dust. We cannot allow the nation to be held to ransom by morons who do not have the common sense to accept historic facts and even simple realities that Chamisa is not a demigod!
“I have lost count of the many lies you told!” Yeah right! And the moron cannot name even one! The kid gloves are off!

The Mozambique syndrome has stifled all public debate and democratic discourse and no wonder the nation has repeated the same mistakes over and over again. Zimbabwe is a failed state because Zanu PF has rigged elections denying the people a meaningful say in the governance of the country. The country is in economic ruins because of mismanagement and corruption. But one does not dare say any of these evils for fear of being labelled a puppet, unpatriotic and worse.
Zimbabwe is a failed state precisely because we have allowed ourselves to be so thoroughly brainwashed that we should believe admitting Zanu PF corruption and tyrannical oppression is unpatriotic. We must deny the truth and suffer the consequences in silence in the name patriotism. How idiotic!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUqAAAI_-D4
A free media is important for a healthy and functioning democracy, Zimbabwe's public media is totally captured and the small private media is compromised. The social media is already subjected to many restrictions and awarding the Starlink contract to Tangwirai's Aura Group, a Mnangagwa proxy, has all but turned social media into into a Zanu PF department in all but name.
@ Chicken breast
“I asked you a simple question, iwe uri kuitei so as to help the suffering people and the jobless rather than pointing fingers.”
Your stupidity is some thing else.
So you think stopping Chamisa taking advantage of the suffering graduate by conning them into believing he has a solution when he clearly does not is doing nothing?
I warned you of the sheer folly of participating in flawed 2023 elections but you and your fellow brain dead Chamisa Chete Chete idiots, all 2 million of you, would not listen. You were stupid enough to believe Chamisa’s idiotic lie that he had plugged all the vote rigging loop holes and even now, with the benefit of hindsight, you still refuse to accept Chamisa lied.
Brain dead nincompoops like you should never have the vote and now the whole nation is suffering for it. Chamisa is gearing to con you and your fellow idiots into participating in flawed 2028 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and all one can do is once again point out that this is folly. What else can one do given people like you are brain dead and impermeable to reason!
It would have been better for Zimbabwe if nincompoops like you were never born. Zimbabwe is a failed state because we have more than our fair share of nincompoops and, to crown it all, they have a voice and a vote!
@ Maryoka
“Mukori as much as you want us to enjoy your posts please don't use provocative and insulting words.”
What would call some one who has been warned that it is folly participating a flawed elections on the basis of an idiotic lie like “I have plugged all vote rigging loop holes”? The consequence of the foolishness is to condemn the whole nation to the perpetuation of the failed state and the tragic human suffering that brings. And, to crown it all, the foolish individual refuse to acknowledge he fcuked up and is clearly susceptible to participate in the 2028 elections with the same tragic consequences!
Well I call the individual an idiot and you can call him whatever you wish!
I am determined to stop these Chamisa Chete Chete nincompoops participating in 2028 elections and perpetuate the dictatorship. To get the job done it is sometimes necessary to call a spade, a spade, and if need be a bloody shovel!
You do not want to hear idiots called idiots but you are indifferent to Zanu PF rigging elections for 44 years, 24 years of which with MDC/CCC leaders’ connivance, causing heartbreaking human suffering to millions of ordinary Zimbabweans. What do you want me to call you? Trust me, it is not Mother Teresa!
@ Seda
“I think this Wilbert should come up with reform policies which should be implemented, failure he should be removed from this platform, this is a professional platform not for someone continue repeat the same...rigging rigging.”
What I find amazing here is that you are frothing and want me “removed from this platform” because I have repeated rigging. Zanu PF has rigged elections for 44 years, last 24 years of which with the connivance of MDC/CCC leaders, with tragic consequences to the nation. Worse still, the two parties are set to rig the 2028 elections dragging the nation even deeper into the abyss. All this is water off a duck’s back but mention Mukori and you are all flustered with sulphuric acid fumes puffing out of every orifice of your body.
No wonder we are a failed state, we really have some of the most pathetic morons on earth!
@ Maryogka
“I understand your frustration, but let's focus on finding solutions rather than insults. The term 'idiot' originally meant someone who didn't participate in public affairs, which is ironic here. Instead, let's discuss how to address election rigging concerns and promote fair elections. What are your thoughts on advocating for electoral reform or supporting independent election monitoring?
By shifting the conversation from name-calling to constructive dialogue, you can create a more productive exchange and explore ways to address the underlying issues.”
How naive! So you want me to call Chamisa and company The Right Honourable this, that or the others even when he is lying to con his followers to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and thus perpetuating the nation’s suffering?
For the record SADC leaders, they are more noble than me, called the MDC leaders throughout the GNU years The Right Honourable this, that or the other. And guess what, they failed to get Morgan Tsvangirai and company to implement even one token reforms. Not even one!
“The MDC leaders were busy enjoying themselves during the GNU and forgot why they were there!” one SADC diplomat told The Independent in 2013, in sheer exasperation. Note, the diplomat was not a Zimbabwean.
Many Zimbabweans will show any such exasperation, even today with the benefit of hindsight; they still do not realise the GNU was the golden opportunity for Zimbabwe to implement the democratic reforms and end the Zanu PF dictatorship. Indeed, many Zimbabweans have no clue what the reforms are much less how they are implemented.
Calling Mnangagwa His Excellence did not stop him blatantly rigging the 2023 elections. He is set to rig the 2028 elections too. What is excellent in that!
An idiot is some one who will repeat the same foolish thing over and over again even when the consequence are detrimental to his/her own interests and those of others. By participating in flawed elections again and again to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuating their own and the nation’s suffering these Chamisa Chete Chete supporters have proven that they are, indeed, idiots.
My number one priority is to make sure that these Chamisa Chete Chete idiots do not participate in the 2028 elections in their millions as happened last year. I am not concerned about semantics and syntax!
@ Chickenbreast
“Definitely I won't because you are an idiot!”
You will not participate in 2028 elections? Well that will be the most rational thing I have heard from you! Whether you will do it or not is another matter, idiots like you are like branches of a willow tree one idiotic lie from Chamisa and you are grovelling before him!
@ Balakazi
“Are you a registered voter? If yes did you not participate in the voter verification exercise that was conducted by ZEC?”
You still do not get and never will! So you think we had a verified voters’ roll and the election was free, fair and credible?
Zimbabwe has never had a verified voters’ roll and so many people have registered to vote but have never appeared on the voters’ roll. Some were on the voters’ roll once upon a time but have had the names moved from one constituency to another or deleted altogether; etc., etc. These are all deliberate moves and part and parcel of Zanu PF rigging the elections and hence the reason why ZEC has resisted demands for verified voters’ roll.
By participating in such a flawed electoral process you give it legitimacy - that is the argument! Chamisa conned millions of his supporters to participate in last year’s election on the back of an idiotic lie that he had plugged ALL the vote rigging loop holes. And the brain dead wildebeest herd believed him.
Although SADC and AU denounced the 2023 elections as flawed and illegal they could not deny Zanu PF legitimacy because 2 million Chamisa supporters participated. Man is supposed to be a creature of reason and therefore it is most disconcerting when 2 million behave like a wildebeest herd!
It is shocking that even now with 44 years of rigged elections, some people still DO NOT know what constitutes free and fair elections and they will be conned to participate in flawed elections believing they can win RIGGED elections. Fcuk me! No wonder we are a failed state!
@ Evangelist
So you are supporting Chamisa because you have no alternative or is it because you believed in his idiotic lies. You would believe in the alternative’s idiotic lies just as readily as you believed in Chamisa’s lies. In other words, the problem is not so much the corrupt and incompetent political leaders, they are only taking advantage of the herd’s stupidity, but rather the millions of brain dead wildebeest herd so foolish they believe anything.
As long as we have millions of ignorant and naive voters, so dumb they believe an upstart like Chamisa is a demigod, there will never ever be free and fair elections in Zimbabwe. Never!
@ Liberty
“You have seen a weakness in Chamisa. Start your own party, educate and enlighten voters and bring the change. Is that difficult?”
It is not just “difficult” to educate and enlighten the voters; it is near impossible! We are talking of voters like you whose brain has ossified into fat and thus impermeable to reason and logic.
No one with half a working brain would be so dumb and stupid to believe and idiotic lie like “I have plugged all vote rigging loop holes. #Godisinit!” Millions of Zimbabweans believed the idiotic lie. Worse still, millions will believe Chamisa yet again and participate in the 2028 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate their own suffering because they have learned nothing from the past!
We should have taken the trouble of educating the people first and then give them the vote. We put the cart before the horse, gave the village idiots the vote and they elected buffoons into office and now we are stuck. One of the top reforms during the GNU was to educate the electorate but both Zanu PF and MDC dod nothing because they are benefiting from village idiots having a vote.
@ Chukwu
“It’s amazing how Chamisa has transformed your life, I wonder how you were going to sleep without Chamisa. He is the only person who has made your dreams come true, without him and Wch other person where you going to spend your time writing your thesis on.”
Zimbabwe is a failed state and the root cause of that is the failure to hold free, fair and credible elections. Zanu PF has rigged elections for the last 44 years but would not have done it the last 24 years if MDC/CCC leaders had implemented the democratic reforms and/or stopped participating in flawed elections to give the regime legitimacy.
I am determined to put an end to the insanity of participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy; end that and you end the curse of failed state. It is too late to get the reforms implemented now but what one can do is make sure Zanu PF does not rig 2028 elections and get away with it. If the Chamisa Chete Chete nincompoops did not participate in 2023 elections in their millions then SADC would HAVE denied Zanu PF legitimacy. The nincompoops must be stopped participating in their millions in 2028!
I know that Chamisa is not only a mere mortal but a corrupt, incompetent and a liar whose is conning nincompoops like you to participate in flawed elections out of greed.
So you think I am talking about Chamisa because I too, like you, must consider him a demigod? How mortifying! But considering you are just another nincompoop that is hardly surprising!

There are types of man in this world, the idiot, tribesman and citizen. The first two have no respect of the law, truth and, if they ever get into power they will become dictators. The citizen cherish the rule of law knows peace and prosperity comes from doing unto others as one would have others do unto oneself.
Mnangagwa is a tribesman, at best, and it is no surprise he is a dictator. The challenge before us is how do we wrestle power from the dictator?
@ Professor Spirit
“We are tired o this nonsense failed state failed what

We are rebuilding our country.”
Why is Zimbabwe “rebuilding” the country? At least, you are finally acknowledging that Zanu PF has fcuked up big time! 44 years gross mismanage and rampant corruption have left the country’s economy in ruins.
It is laughable that you are claiming that Zanu PF is now rebuilding what it destroyed. As long as Zanu PF remains in power there will be no meaningful political change or economic recovery because Zanu PF has destroyed all state institutions designed to stop the mismanagement and corruption. Zanu PF is the problem. How can the problem be the solution too!!!!!
You can say you have stopped listening to my videos but saying it is one thing and doing it another. Even if you have stopped listening, it only proves your are just a minion; what makes you think the fat cats are not listening.
This is a regime of corrupt and murderous thugs desperate to hang on to power at all cost but, let me say it loud and clear, it will not remain in power for much longer. I bet that will make even the minion like you sit up and listen!
@ Pachedu Tofiranyika
“Lazy people expect ZANU PF to take them out of poverty instead of them starting businesses, farming, mining and doing something to get out of poverty. It’s a third world mentality.”
You are just a village idiot masquerading as an intellectual!
Millions of ordinary Zimbabweans are living in abject poverty today because of the 44 years of gross mismanagement and rampant corruption by this Zanu PF regime. The 500 billion per cent hyper inflation of 2000 to 2008 wiped out many people’s life savings, for example, and you keep wittering about people must start their own businesses, farming, etc. Start with what, they no money and no collateral security?
The millions of rural people would be economically better off than they are today if they were allowed to have title deeds to even one acre of land on which the hut is build. Just one acre! Mnangagwa has stubbornly refused to let povo have title deeds for the same reason Mugabe and Smith refused - selfish political gain. Zanu PF is deliberately keeping the rural people poor for political reasons.
Zanu PF continues to boast of the rural areas as the party’s political strong holds for the simple reason that the rural people are no more than serfs in medieval Europe beholden to the Zanu PF chefs and their local proxies.
Zanu PF has yet to hold free, fair and credible elections thus denying the people their fundamental right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country. Zanu PF blatantly rigged the 2023 elections, SADC and AU condemned the elections. I have yet to hear you condemn the rigged elections.
“Seek you fight the political kingdom and the rest will be added unto you,” said Dr Kwame Nkrumah, first President of Independent Ghana.
Of course, Dr Nkrumah was right; the root cause of the poverty in Zimbabwe is the failure to hold free and fair elections. And Zanu PF apologist and nincompoops like you are preaching the falsehood there can ever be economic prosperity without the political power to hold the corrupt and murderous Zanu PF thugs to account.
“Lazy people expect ZANU PF to take them out of poverty!” Is that why Zanu PF is looting the nation’s resources and ridding roughshod over the people denying them their right to a meaningful vote and even to the right to life? What a twat!
@ Padzarondera
Those who are on the coal face of the failed state do not need to be reminded of it, they suffer the consequence of it every hour, day and night. It is the ruling elite and the cronies who need to be reminded of the suffering of the millions! Mnangagwa and company do not want to hear it and I am here to make sure they hear it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izKE3Xf0Uo4
In Zimbabwe we cannot talk of poverty without talking of the elephant in the room - the Zanu PF regime that is denying millions of ordinary Zimbabweans the right to own the land on which their hut is build for selfish political reasons. Zanu PF maintains the war of independence was fought over land and yet, other than the Zanu PF ruling elite, their cronies and the Chinese and other foreigners millions of blacks, especially in the rural areas, do not have title deeds to even one acre of land!
How can the poor fight poverty when they are being denying the only economic empowerment that means everything to them - title deeds to the land.
@ Business Advisor
“My brother, with due respect 🙏🏻.
Digging what happened in the past is not the solution, rather it will continue to tear apart the so-called opposition and Zimbabwean politics at large.
Rather what we want now is inclusive politics to build Ubuntu among ourselves as Zimbabweans without political discrimination or labelling. Politics has failed the people of Zimbabwe. Citizens are now the victims and big losers yet politicians are beneficiaries and enjoying themselves at large.
It has come clear that no one wants to be held accountable, with the opposition being already more arrogant yet not yet in power, imagine when they got elected?”
Zimbabweans have been stuck with this Zanu PF dictatorship because we have the tribesman mentality. Our loyalty to the tribe and even more to the leaders is so strong it trumps the need to establish facts and to learn from the past.
Why should knowing the truth of what happened during the GNU, the 2017 military coup, etc. “tear apart the so-called opposition.” Knowledge is power and knowing what happened will stop the opposition repeating the same which is indeed what has been happening here.
MDC leaders sold out big time by failing to implement even one democratic reform in five years of the GNU and the nation hashed up in the name of opposition unity and the same corrupt, incompetent and utterly useless leaders retained. Ever since the GNU debacle the leaders have been participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy out of greed and the village idiots want that hashed up too!
No wonder we are a failed state, we have some people who have no common sense. None! And they number in their millions and, crown it all, they have the vote!
“Digging what happened in the past is not the solution!” Yeah right! Repeating the same foolish mistakes of having the same corrupt and incompetent leaders who have failed to implement even one token reform in 24 years, including 5 in the GNU is THE SOLUTION! Fcuk me!
We really are incapable of self government! 44 years after independence and in this day and age and we are still failing to define what constitute free, fair and credible elections. This is like some one in High School and yet does not even know the letters of the alphabet. So all the years of going to school were all wasted!

“There is no opposition in Zim today. No one is capable of dislodging ED🤡. If
Someone hopeless. Leader someone stood up & wanted to challenge ED we should support them🔥”
You did not answer the questions asked because you did not want to admit that the 2017 military coup did not solve anything, it kicked the the dictatorship can down the road.
Yes there is no competent opposition to chart the way forward but that is because people have been going for the quick and ease solutions of kicking the can down the road when they should be searching for the lasting solutions hard as they often are.
Chiwenga has been part and parcel of the Zanu PF dictatorship since 1980, how anyone can view him as a solution beggars belief! You clearly have learned nothing for the 44 years of rigged elections and one wonders whether you will ever learn!
@ Dr Mutasa
"I think you are drunk with western ideas.
This is our land and every Zimbabwean has a share of it free. Why do you want title deeds which has been used to sell our whole national land to 4000 people before?
Land must stay in the hands of government so that our poor people will have free homes
We are very happy with our 99 years leases unless you want us to be colonized again."
How nauseating! Zanu PF just like Smith is denying the ordinary Zimbabweans title deeds to even one acre because giving these people land will economically empower these people like nothing else can. The regime does not want the ordinary people economic empowered because that will reduce the poor’s economic dependence of the party.

THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE CAN ARGUE AND AGREE TO DISAGREE BUT THERE ARE OTHERS OVER WHICH IT IS INSANE TO DISAGREE BECAUSE THEY ARE SELF EVIDENT. ZANU PF IS HOLDING THE RURAL POVO TO RANSOM BY KEEPING THEM POOR. GRANTING POVO TITLE DEEDS TO EVEN ONE ACRE OF LAND ON WHICH THEIR HUT STAND IS THE TICKET TO ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL EMPOWERMENT AND FREEDOM. IT IS LONG OVER DUE!
POVO MUST HAVE TITLE DEEDS TO LAND AS A MATTER OF JUSTICE AND NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE BECAUSE AS LONG AS POVO REMAIN SERFS BEHOLDEN TO ZANU PF WE ALL REMAIN SERFS BEHOLDEN TO THE REGIME!

“Zanu tries by all means to empower farmers but the farmers aren't arrogant or adamant, check all facilities given to Farmers. Whilst Title is important for loans but it's not an albatross to production if all things being equal. The land itself is enough treasure.”
So you think the rural peasants have no right to title deeds! The right to own property is as much a universal right as the right to a meaningful vote! Why people have been denied these basic rights all these years is an outrage but what makes this worse is many people see nothing wrong with it all.
No wonder we are a failed state; even the so called intellectual do not even have the common sense to see that not only is what Zanu PF is doing wrong but worse of all that it is holding not only the rural poor but the whole nation to ransom!
@ Mike Hull
“Because a socialist government is really just about providing a framework for a ruling elite to plunder and pillage, at the expense of the “poor”.”
Totally agree with you there although I would say “at the expense of the nation” because we all suffer the consequences of the decades of Zanu PF pillage and plunder including the Zanu PF ruling elite themselves. One of the reasons why it is a dog eat dog fight for power in Zanu PF is because each of them is always fearful that if they lose power they know they are in serious trouble. They know the looting is wrong and fear that the nation will take it all away from them and rightly so too.
I am disappointed with the country’s so called intellectual, they do not even have the commons sense to see that Zanu PF is not only holding the rural poor to ransom but the whole nation! They have watched and let Zanu PF rid roughshod over the poor and, in the end, over them too!
An idiot is one who fails to act in their own interests. Zimbabwe is a nation of village idiots!
@ Cornwell Mutetwa
“Zimbabweans are not capable of discussing any subject and come up with a working solutions. I have asked why African gvts including Zimbabwean gvt kept the dual land system 44 yrs after independence. The Zimbabwe gvt maintained the Land tenure system which was segregationist in Rhodesia. Who is it benefiting.”
The worst thing about the land system in Rhodesia is that it allowed whites to own property including land and denied the blacks the same right. Forget all the black nationalist rhetoric, Robert Mugabe and his cronies set out to replace the whites as the new masters and it is not surprising they kept the same oppressive laws and did they best to assimilate themselves to everything else the whites did.
Zimbabwe’s intelligentsia have allowed Zanu PF thugs to do as they damn well pleased because they thought they too will become part and parcel of the privileged ruling elite. Some have made the grade but the majority have been disappointed - serves them right. Many have been supporting the MDC/CCC with the same blind devotion they supported Zanu PF a few moons ago - talk of some one who never learn!

@ Matemadanda
What role did you and your fellow war veterans play in the infamous Operation Mavhotera Papi? Jabulani Sibanda was one of the war veteran leaders then and is not shy to boast of the role he played!
The war veterans have been part and parcel of the Zanu PF dictatorship for decades and it is naive, to say the least, to think they can undo the damage they brought up the nation by occasionally denouncing the regime!
@ AJ
“What for? won't we have a case where because of poverty or hunger, the poor will end up selling their land to the rich speculators in towns?”
The rural poor have nothing already so it is sickening that anyone would argue that the poor would sell what they have and so we must keep them poor so that they have nothing to sell!
The people who are selling the land today are the ruling elite who got the land for a song and are selling it and making a fortune. You have said nothing about the fat cats getting title deeds but are opposed to the poor getting even one postage stamp size piece of land.
@ Ibbo Mandaza
Zimbabwe is a failed state and we are stuck. The need for a way out of this political and economic mess is self-evident. The irony is SADC offered us a way out during the 2008 to 2013 GNU and we not only wasted the opportunity but have very rarely ever accepted that we shot ourselves in the foot.
Zimbabweans have been participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy out of greed, for the leaders, and stupidity for the ordinary people.
I totally agree that for this National Transition Authority to work we must have SADC, AU and others bodies backing. The catch is none of these bodies would have the confidence that Zimbabweans will not sell out yet again specially when the same sell out players of yesteryear are the keep players!
There are ease and workable solution to end Zimbabwe’s economic and political mess, it is not rocket science; the only reason why we are still stuck and stewing in our mess is lack of common sense. Of course, it is dumb to participate in a flawed election process to give vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate one’s own suffering. And yet that is exactly what we have been doing again and again and again.
@ Pachedu Tofiranyika
“Living in abject poverty when you are siting on land and minerals is a choice. And fools like you who want to make excuses for those who don’t want to work are the problem. Munhu ngashande nezvainazvo like we all did.”
The people of Chiadzwa and Marange were indeed sit-in of diamonds and as soon as the authorities realised this they were all booted off the land and the mining concessions were given to the ruling elite and their foreign partners. Zanu PF is denying the ordinary people title deeds to even one acre because the regime does not want them to be economically empowered. But what would a moron like you know about the suffering of the masses; you do not give a damn, never did and never will!
More than 532,000 students risk missing out on their final examinations this year after the government's Basic Education Assistance Module (BEAM) debt to the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) has ballooned to $6,4 million.
The debt accrued is in respect of 2023 and 2024, Public Service Labour and Social Welfare Minister July Moyo told parliamentarians on Thursday.
BEAM is a scheme that was introduced by government to assist some less privileged primary and secondary school students with their fees.
But Treasury has struggled to settle its obligations with the national examinations body, falling behalf by a massive $6,4 million in terms of arrears.
This government has all but failed to revive the Zimbabwe economy and one of the ways the regime has tried to curb inflation is by starving some public sectors of funds, notably education and health care. The regime keeps wittering about growing the country’s economy to attaining the upper middle income status by 2030; it is all a mirage. How can the economy grow when key sectors such as health and education have all but collapsed!
Zimbabweans do not need to wait for 2030 to know vision 2030 is a mirage; there is overwhelming evidence of that already. The question then is: what can we do now?
Answer: we must stop Zanu PF rigging 2028 to perpetuate the dictatorship. We have missed many golden opportunities to implement the democratic reforms to stop the rigging and it is unlikely we can do so now.
We must do the next best thing; make sure Zanu PF does not get away with the rigged elections. Zanu PF got away with rigged elections last year because the Chamisa Chete Chete brigade participated in the flawed elections in their millions giving the process credibility. They were conned into participating believing Chamisa’s idiotic lie that he had plugged all the vote rigging loop holes.
We must stop at least some of the brigade being conned into participating again in 2028. Easier said than done. How does one stop a stampeding wildebeest herd!
@ Visumuzi
“Check who owns land in Britain brother, let's just utilise this resource and not worry about Titles.”
So Bona can own land big enough to fit Lesotho but povo cannot even one acre where their hut stand?
Do not speak of matters that you do not understand! If you live in a house in towns or in the country side in UK you either have title deeds or you renting to some one who has title deeds. And most important of all the British people have a meaningful say in the governance of the country, they have free, fair and credible elections. Zimbabwe’s rural serfs have never ever had a free vote. Never!
The right to own the land will be the first fundamental right Zimbabwe’s povo will ever have and is the stepping stone to them getting a meaningful vote - hence the reason why both Zanu PF and the white did not want to give title deeds.
The real shock here is we have nincompoops like you defending the continued oppression of follow Zimbabweans including yourself. One of the hallmarks of the village idiot is he does not even know what is in his own interest. You don’t even know that a democratic Zimbabwe is in your interest!
@ President Netanyahu
“Kindly show us the title deeds. The president has an offer letter of 100 years lease as the rest of the farmers.”
Stop talking nonsense! Zanu PF ruling elite have been selling some of the stands and farms they got - you cannot do it on the basis of an offer letter.
Even then, how many rural peasant have an offer letter of the one acre of land on which their hut stand?
One of the reasons why Zimbabwe is a failed state is we have Zimbabweans who are so dumb they will defend the same oppressive acts they condemned yesterday during white colonial rule just because the new oppressors are black. Their tribesman mentality is so strong they will defend Zanu PF even if it is not in the national interest and even their own person interest!
The bottom line is Zanu PF is holding the rural voters to ransom, denying them all their fundamental rights including the right to own property, right to a meaningful vote and even the right to life, for selfish political gain and you are defending the regime! Fcuk me!
@ Pachedu Tofiranyika
“The people of Marange were idiots like you guys who have been fed GMOs without rising up to fight that. Right now, I have informed you of how you are being poised by millers but you take sides with the millers. How are you different from people in Marange?
You are just a stupid people and you deserve to be taken advantage of until you wake up. No one is here to lift you up, you must lift yourselves up.”
“A little learning is a dangerous thing!” said Alexander Pope. He must have had nincompoops like you in mind when he wrote that!
The people in Marange were booted off the land by the Zanu PF regime, looters, at gun point and now you have the cheek of calling them idiots. What did want them to do?
Zimbabwe would not be relying on imported GMOs if Zanu PF had not seized the farms and given them to the ruling elite and their cronies turning the country from one feed the whole region to one now dependent of imported grain. We were once the bread basket of the region and are today the basket case failed state.
Zimbabwe has had the great misfortune of having corrupt, incompetent and murderous thugs like Mnangagwa and his Zanu PF cronies for leaders. The situation has been compounded by having corrupt, incompetent and utterly useless MDC/CCC leaders and an ignorant and naive electorate. Still, that is no excuse for nincompoops like you to side with the Zanu PF thugs!

Anyone can call you, me or anyone else out there an idiot or a genius; it will not make you an idiot or a genius. What matters is can he/she justify WHY they called you that. Prove it!
If you are so ignorant and naive that you were conned into participating in a flawed elections to give vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy because you believed Chamisa’s idiotic lie that he had plugged all the vote rigging loop holes, for example. Then yes you are an idiot and deserve to be called an idiot. QED!

Mandaza & co. calling on SADC to help set a National Transition Authority as the "soft landing" to end Zimbabwe's political and economic crisis. The road to hell is paved with good intentions!
Zimbabwe is a failed state and yes SADC could help us get out of the mess but why would they help when we failed to implement even one token reforms last time the regional body intervened. SADC could have intervened last year after SADC and AU election observers produced a damning report. They could have denied Zanu PF political legitimacy but did not because not only did the opposition participate but Chamisa conned nearly 2 millions of his supporters to participate.
We should concentrate on stopping Chamisa Chete Chete brigade participating in flawed 2028 elections in their millions this will show we are finally serious in our demands for democratic reforms and free and fair elections. SADC will help us if we help ourselves!
@ Chihwa
“Again and again sounding as usual a ‘broken record’, you don’t realise that, ‘A damning report was a result of Chamisa and ‘Chamisa chete chete brigade,’ . This was for the first in the history of rigged elections in Zimbabwe. Then you are blind to see such a milestone achievement. I suggest the admin should remove you from this group.”
You should at least respect historic facts! SADC and AU did condemn Zimbabwe’s rigged 2008 elections resulting in SADC forcing Zanu PF to agree to the 2008 to 2013 GNU. Of course, SADC would have denied Zanu PF legitimacy if CCC leaders had not participated in the flawed election knowing fully well that Zanu PF was rigging and that participating would give Zanu PF legitimacy.
Chamisa had no problem conning his brain dead followers to participate, you have to be brain dead to believe such idiotic lies like “I have plugged all vote rigging loop holes!” The nincompoops comfort themselves that participating helped SADC see the vote rigging. What SADC saw were glaring flaws like the failure to produce a verified voters’ roll underlining the sheer stupidity of those who had believed Chamisa had plugged vote rigging loop holes.
You cannot bear to hear the truth spoken about the corrupt, incompetent and lying Chamisa and how stupid you are to keep following the upstart blindly. You are so desperate to silence me you are begging the administrator to have me remove. Why do you just remove yourself since you are the one who cannot stand the heat of the truth!
Be rest assured I will be hammering some sense into the Chamisa Chete Chete village idiots so that they are not conned into participating in the flawed 2028 elections. I have a sludge hammer! Participating in 2028 elections in your millions is simply unthinkable!
