@NewsHawksLive: Zanu PF cyber-troops camped at the ruling party's social media troll farm - Varakashi4ED - are trying to intimidate The NewsHawks from fearless reporting on President Emmerson Mnangagwa's leadership, governance and policy failures, as well as incompetence and corruption by his regime through cheap propaganda, misinformation and lies, while gaslighting the disenchanted public.
The Zanu PF online warriors - who are breathtakingly incompetent and incoherent in handling public interest information issues and media - are creating and spreading misinformation and falsehoods, often using social media, in a desperate bid to discredit journalists and control the political narrative.
Varakashi4ED, Mnangagwa's hatchet job foot soldiers, amplify the ruling party's political narratives and attack opponents, especially the opposition, civil society, critics, intellectuals and journalists, for a living.
The propaganda and disinformation strategy and tactics are part of a broader, well-documented pattern of political repression and intimidation in Zimbabwe.
Earlier today, the Varakashi4ED released this statement, which tried to intimidate The NewsHawks:
PRESS STATEMENT
By Godwin Nkatha, National Chairman – Varakashi4ED
25 September 2025
In recent days, social media has been flooded with sensational claims from The Newshawks, a platform under the ownership of @DumisaniMuleya, purporting to expose alleged corruption, factionalism, and mismanagement within the leadership of ZANU PF.
These narratives, often lacking substantiated evidence, seek to undermine the credibility of our national leadership and destabilize the progress Zimbabwe continues to make under the Second Republic.
Let it be unequivocally stated: Varakashi4ED stands firmly against corruption in all its forms.
We believe in accountability, transparency, and the responsible stewardship of national resources.
However, we also recognise the importance of scrutinizing the motives and integrity of those who position themselves as watchdogs.
Not all criticism is rooted in patriotism — some is driven by agendas that seek to fracture unity and erode public trust.
As@Varakashi4ED, we will not stand idle while our leadership is smeared with baseless accusations by @NewsHawksLive.
We are a disciplined movement committed to defending the truth, promoting national development, and reinforcing the values of loyalty, unity, and progress.
Our role is not only to amplify the achievements of our government but also to guide public discourse with facts, respect, and strategic clarity.
We call upon all patriotic Zimbabweans to remain vigilant, to question narratives that sow division, and to stand together in safeguarding the dignity of our nation. Let us continue to build, not break; to unite, not divide.

End of Statement.”
Varakashi4ED are there to stifle debate, brainwash the public and to deny the people their fundamental rights and freedoms including freedom of expression and a free media. And, like all tyrants, they even believe they are doing the nation a great service!
“Our role is not only to amplify the achievements of our government but also to guide public discourse with facts, respect, and strategic clarity.
We call upon all patriotic Zimbabweans to remain vigilant, to question narratives that sow division, and to stand together in safeguarding the dignity of our nation. Let us continue to build, not break; to unite, not divide.”
Man is a creature of reason and this attempt to silence us and force us into a mental straitjacket in the name of development and unite is an abomination.
Zimbabwe is a failed state precisely because we have repeated the same foolish mistakes, corruption have been allowed to grow and spread, because of the lack of open scrutiny and democratic accountability. The economic meltdown and political paralysis - we are stuck with the corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF and its equally corrupt and useless MDC/CCC side-kick - have made the country volatile and unstable! And pretending the country is stable and prospering will not change that reality.

Former ZACC chair person Justice Moyo admitted Zimbabwe is losing US$1.8 billion a year to corruption.
For years the regime denied that there was corruption and blamed the economic meltdown on sanctions and other problems. In the last 20 years the regime has acknowledged that corruption was a problem but has done nothing to stamp it out. The best they have ever done in the catch and release!
An audio recording of Temba Mliswa has ignited a political firestorm, in which he launches his most direct and controversial challenge to date, publicly questioning the integrity of Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and accusing the nation's leadership of hypocrisy in the fight against corruption.
In the audio, Mliswa's central and most explosive question cuts to the heart of the matter: "Is the Vice President himself clean?". He argues that for years he has spoken about corruption without being heard and insists that any genuine anti-graft crusade must begin with self-reflection from the very top.
The Asset Register and a Billion-Dollar Ghost
Mliswa directly challenges the source of the Vice President's wealth, referencing assets that were allegedly revealed during his divorce proceedings. He demands to know how these assets were acquired on a public salary.
"How did he acquire all those assets? How much is an army commander paid? How much is the CDF paid to acquire all those assets?" Mliswa questions in the recording.
He connects this personal challenge to a massive national scandal, re-raising the ghost of the missing $15 billion in diamond revenue, a case in which he claims "the defence was involved" and failed to account for the funds. Mliswa's line of questioning implies a pattern of unchecked power and a lack of accountability that predates the current administration.
Explosive Claim: "He Protects the Chinese"
In what is arguably the most incendiary part of his monologue, Mliswa accuses the Vice President of favouring foreign interests over Zimbabweans.
"The Vice President protects the Chinese, it's well known," he states bluntly. He alleges a system where foreign investors are chosen over locals and claims the leadership is silent on critical national issues, like the Manhize steel deal, which he says has a projected value of $7.1 trillion.
Mliswa contrasts this alleged silence with the current focus on what he calls "mamillions mashoma aya" (these few millions), suggesting the anti-corruption fight is selectively targeting locals while ignoring larger deals involving foreign entities. He further claims that when Chinese nationals are taken to court for alleged violent crimes against locals, the leadership intervenes to have them released. "That's the leadership we don't want now," he declares, "that we become second-class citizens".
Politburo Move Was "Wrong and Personal"
Mliswa heavily criticises the Vice President's decision to raise corruption allegations within the Politburo, labelling the move as "wrong," "personal," and an attempt to "expose the party".
He argues that if the VP had genuine evidence, he possesses the power to order official state institutions like the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) and the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) to investigate and arrest suspects. Instead, Mliswa claims, "He wanted to go political and gain... the favour from the people" by portraying himself as a "no-nonsense person" on corruption.
Ultimate Responsibility and a Warning to the Uniformed Forces
While his sharpest criticisms are aimed at the VP, Mliswa states that ultimate responsibility lies with the Head of State. "The Head of State is responsible for the running of the country," he says, using the analogy of a father in a household. However, he extends this responsibility, calling the VP a "baba munini" (a junior father), who also must be held to account.
He concludes with a stark warning to the uniformed forces, reminding them that their uniforms are for "serving and protecting Zimbabwe," not for "abusing" or for protecting the personal interests of individuals over the country.
What a mess! The tragedy is whilst the regime is pre-occupied with all these endless and utterly pointless factional war the country continues to drift deeper and deeper into the abyss. The bottom line is, Zanu PF is illegitimate, the regime rigged the elections, and should not governing the country. The longer Zanu PF remains in power the deeper the nation will sink into the abyss.

The winds of change are blowing. Some church leaders are now beginning to question the madness of holding political leaders as demigods who can do no wrong. Mnangagwa ridded the 2023 elections and. per se, he is an ILLEGITIMATE president. And the buffoon is now trying to rub salt into the wound by extending his illegitimacy beyond the maximum two term limits.
Nelson Chamisa lied about plugging vote rigging loop hole and he even evoke the name of God. #Godisinit! to con people to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy. And the upstart is gearing to con the nation into participating in flawed 2028 elections.
Leaders are not demigods why anyone would think otherwise in this day and age beggars belief!

"Boycotting elections is boycotting the constitution." Only some one who have no common sense can make such a bold and yet foolish statement especially in country like Zimbabwe with 45 years and counting.
Participating in flawed elections know they are flawed and participating will only give vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy is one of the most foolish things this nation has ever done. People have participated in flawed elections because they believed the idiotic lies of the opposition winning the rigged process, few if any did so because the believe the nonsense that doing otherwise was "boycotting the constitution."

Zimbabwe is a failed state and all because we have a dysfunctional political system in which one individual enjoyed absolute power, the strongman. It is therefore shocking that any Zimbabwean would ever advocate a strong man political system.
It is all very well giving absolute power to a strong man like Ibrahim Traore, President of Burkina Faso, who has the vision and interest of the nation at heart. Give the same absolute power to a buffoon like Mugabe or Mnangagwa and it is the stuff of nightmares!
In 2017 we replaced one dictator with another when we should have been focused on replacing the dictatorship with democracy because of strongman mentality! What we need is strong and functional democratic institutions not strong man!
@ Joke Joko
“If the genuine opposition boycott elections, Zanu PF will create fake oppositions to contest in those elections.”
Kusaviva kufa!
So you think Zanu PF did not create fake opposition leaders and even political parties in 2023? How naive!
There were 11 presidential candidates and we can be certain that a number of them were Zanu PF agents. Mnangagwa had 52% of the votes, Chamisa had 44% and the remaining 9 candidates had 4% of the votes. One does not need to be a rocket scientist to see that Chamisa gave Zanu PF legitimacy and not the other 9 candidates. So why do you keep wittering about trivial!
Chamisa did not con his supporters to participate in flawed elections to stop Zanu PF creating fake political parties. He wanted CCC to win the few gravy train seats Zanu PF gives away to entice the opposition to participate no matter how flawed and illegal the process get. David Coltart admitted this in his book.
“The worst aspect for me about the failure to agree a coalition was that both MDCs couldn’t now do the obvious - withdraw from the (2023) elections. The electoral process was so flawed, so illegal, that the only logical step was to withdraw, which would compel SADC to hold Zanu PF to account. But such was the distrust between the MDC-T and MDC-N that neither could withdraw for fear that the other would remain in the elections, winning seats and giving the process credibility,” confessed David Coltart in his Book, The Struggle Continues 50 years of Tyranny in Zimbabwe.
You do not want to believe that Chamisa is corrupt, incompetent and a liar because to you he is a demigod. How anyone can be so shallow thick and slow in this day and age beggars belief.
No wonder we are a failed state, we have some mentally challenged men and women in Zimbabwe, millions of them, and, to crown it, they have the vote. Chamisa is going to con his followers to participate in flawed 2028 elections to perpetuate the Zanu PF dictatorship and the nation’s suffering. One cannot reason with them, they are brain dead!
Do not be offended; I am not talking about you. You are wiser than King Solomon!
@ Temba Mliswa
"In what he dramatically teased as a midnight revelation, former legislator Temba Mliswa has this morning dropped a bombshell dossier of allegations against Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, claiming the nation's high-profile anti-corruption drive is nothing more than a personal "revenge move" orchestrated to settle a private financial dispute.
The explosive claims, laid out in a series of social media posts, detail a timeline of alleged extravagant demands and payments totalling over US$1 million, which Mliswa argues is the true origin of the move to arrest prominent businessman Wicknell Chivayo and others.
"From day one I argued that the VP's move was steeped in politics and a revenge move rather than in actually fighting corruption," Mliswa declared, setting the stage for his shocking "Episode One". This follows a dramatic audio clip in which Mliswa promised to expose everything, warning those involved, "Don't throw glass when you're in a glass house".
A Wedding, A Honeymoon, and a Trail of Alleged Cash Demands
According to Mliswa, the scandal began with preparations for the Vice President's wedding. He lays out a stunning series of alleged requests made to Sir Wicknell by Chiwenga:
The Wedding Request: The VP first allegedly asked for 6 Rolls Royces for the wedding, plus US$250,000 for preparations.
The "Secret" Gift: During the wedding itself, the VP allegedly received a US250,000 cash gift. Mliswa claims that at the VP's request, only US50,000 of that amount was announced publicly.
The Luxury Honeymoon: For the couple's honeymoon at the luxurious Four Seasons in Seychelles, another US$250,000 was allegedly provided by Sir Wicknell.
Shopping Sprees: On their return journey through South Africa, the VP's partner allegedly received 1 million Rands for shopping. Soon after, Mliswa claims, "The VP himself reportedly asked and got another 1 million Rands to get a gift for his wife".
When The "Financial Appetite" Became "Too Much"
The list of demands didn't end there, Mliswa alleges. The couple then reportedly requested an additional US$450,000 from the same businessman, which was "meant to acquire 3 apartments for the VP's children".
This, according to Mliswa, became the breaking point.
He claims the couple only received US300,000 of the requested amount, leaving a balance of US150,000. "However, the balance did not come as early as they expected while on his part Chivayo felt that the financial appetite and requests were too much," Mliswa wrote.
Chiwenga is just as corrupt, incompetent and a murderous tyrant as Mnangagwa himself only a fool ever believed he was as squeaky clean as he pretended to be. Why anyone would want to swap one dictator for another beggars belief!

Chamisa lied that "MDC A has stringent measures to stop Zanu PF rigging 2018 elections." He lied again in 2023 claiming he "plugged all the vote rigging loop holes. #Godisinit!" Millions believed him each time and participated in the flawed elections only to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the nation's suffering. Chamisa and co. got their reward of a few gravy train seats.
Chamisa is gearing to con Zimbabweans to participate in flawed 2028 elections on the basis of the same idiotic lies that he is the Lord's anointed and will win rigged elections. We cannot stop Zanu PF going ahead with flawed 2028 elections but can deny the regime legitimacy by making sure millions do NOT participate as before.
We must focus on what we CAN do and do it! Stop Chamisa conning millions to participate in flawed 2028 elections.
