@ Brighton Matebuka
Chiwenga dramatically took direct aim at President Emmerson Mnangagwa on the firing range for the first time in their epic and high-stakes succession battle.
His "arsenal" was in the form of an explosive "dossier" which allegedly incriminated Mnangagwa alleged state capture kingpins.
He allegedly demanded that they be arrested and queried why that had not been done at that point.
According to multiple reports, so shaken was Mnangagwa the allegedly offered to resign – before making a hasty retreat to the Politburo, where he sought to find succour in familiar and less hostile territory.
What Did Chiwenga Seek To Achieve?
He sought to send an unequivocal and powerful message to Mnangagwa that a turning point had now been reached in the succession battle – a measure of last resort tantamount to the severing of their long and enduring umbilical chord, or whatever is left of it.
It was an escalatory gesture of monumental consequence and made its mark on all of Mnangagwa physical and mental realm – which was captured in all its pomp and glory via one of the most abiding images of the succession battle – Mnangagwa turning his head and serenely meeting Chiwenga's ice-cold and stern gaze, blow to blow, in broad daylight and close quarters!
The unmistakable message was that of defiance, fearlessness and readiness to engage in mortal combat.
Metaphors were ditched and replaced with direct, uncompromising, menacing and accusatory prose!
The grand prize Chiwenga was seeking was Mnangagwa capitulation from the 2030 choreographed misadventurism and a return to their oft stated November 2017 power sharing gentlemen's pact.
What Did He Achieve?
Whilst he demonstrably shook Mnangagwa to his boots, he effectively let him off the hook and left him to fight another day, a highly dangerous outcome in a finely balanced and high octane succession battle.
You see, "dossiers" don't deliver power, not in Zimbabwe. They help to shape the narrative. The narrative matters afterwards, not before toppling a "King" from his throne.
Of what use is a "dossier" in an environment in which all state institutions are captured? Who orders the arrest? Who makes the arrest? Who prosecutes? How long does that take? Who convicts?
Who sentences? Who enforces the sentence and superintends the jails? You get the drift. At that very moment, having waited for so long to fire the first salvo, Chiwenga needed to be in a position to fire not just the first one, but all salvos in one fell swoop!
Given the stakes involved, a dossier could only be of use as part of a grand scheme of subterfuge, to probe defences, distract and waylay before delivering the coup de grace!
In those corridors of power, you are talking about Russian Roulette of the highest order. There is rarely the luxury of a second take!”
The real unspoken tragedy here is the greatest casualty of these never ending Zanu PF factional wars is the nation. Ever since the nation’s independence, if not long before it, Zimbabwe’s nationalist leaders have fought each other none-stop over political dominance. As soon as one fight is over another one started.
As soon as Mugabe ousted Joyce Mujuru in 2014, for example, his camp divided into the G40 and Lacoste which he then lost to the latter led by Mnangagwa in the 2017 military coup. The coup solved nothing because the so called “gentlemen’s agreement” that Mnangagwa will hand over power to Chiwenga after serving one term was immediately ignored.
Zimbabwe is a failed state because the nation’s affairs have been ignored for 45 years and counting because the leaders were too busy consolidating their own power base. And since political loyalty is founded on patronage and not something substantive as ideology or merit it is little wonder no one leader has ever slept ease in his/her bed. How can they when every morning one has to lick one’s finger and check the direction of the political wind - misread it and you are out!
“It is cold out there!” confessed Professor Jonathan Moyo when he misread the political wind and was booted out of the party! He knew what he was talking about.
The nation had the golden opportunity to implement the democratic reforms and end the Zanu PF dictatorship during the 2008 to 2013 GNU. Mugabe bribed Morgan Tsvangirai and his MDC fiends with the trappings of high offices and they, in return, throw all the reforms out of the window.
Chiwenga is just as corrupt, incompetent and tyrannic as his erstwhile partner in the 2008 electoral coup and 2017 military coup, Mnangagwa. Pick one from the other is as meaningless a hare picking a cobra or a black mamba!
As long as Zimbabwe remains a de facto one-party state those factional wars will rage on and the nation sink deeper and deeper into the abyss. One sure way to end the dictatorship will be to stop Chamisa and company conning their brain dead followers participating in the flawed elections only to give Zanu PF legitimacy. That is simpler said than done - how does one reason with the brain dead!

“Let this sink into your head these harsh words are prohibited on this platform. I am watching you now that Patrick is gone please take note of your wording say it but don't irritate people with your unselected wording. Words that are harsh avoid them Mukori you say it as it is but usatuka as angry as you are usatuka vanhu I don't want to repeat this. Just like Patrick you are belittling people very much by calling 2 million people stupid. Maybe most people here are amongst those 2 million you are calling stupid how are they would feel if they are part of Chamisa.
@Wilbert Mukori you are a person who is genuine but usatuka vanhu can you get to that with all due respect.”
You surprise me more so since you are a man of cloth! So Jesus himself would not be allowed on this platform since He not only call many people thieves but whipped them too! I have been called a Zanu PF CIO, Murakasha and more; that is much worse that being called stupid, moron or nincompoop. Those name tags stick if there are backed by evidence. There is nothing clever about participating in a flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate one’s own suffering and all because you believed an idiotic lie.
Being called Murakashi because I dare to point out that Chamisa lied has never bothered me. We all know that Chamisa lied and it is nonsense to castigate some one for speaking the truth.
I did not belittle any one by calling them stupid, they belittled themselves by DOING stupid things. I only pointed out what they have done and who they are.
Do not stifle debate under the guise puritanism especially when you call yourself Reverend!
@ Petamuswe
“Thank you is that not a big lie. I guess according to mukori its not, basa rake rakapindira muni mugroup nderekusvora vachamisa manje isu tinongoti naye naye Chamisa nemumvura nemumvura.”
You are obsessed with defending Chamisa so now you are imagining things. The post was of rural school proof that Mnangagwa’s vision 2030 mantra that “no one or place will be left behind” is a lie. You, in your paranoia, jumped to the conclusion that I was attacking Chamisa and so came out with all guns glazing to defend Chamisa.
None of my articles, comments, etc. critical of Zanu PF have ever registered in you mind hence the reason why you insist I am a Zanu PF agent. But not the personality cult mentality is advancing to paranoia - you see what is not even there, I criticise Zanu PF and you think I am attacking your untouchable demigod, Nelson Chamisa!
Chamisa is a liar and conman. I am continue to speak the truth because Chamisa must not be allowed to con the nation into participating in flawed 2028 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy.
Chamisa is a liar and hearing the truth is driving you nuts. Penga undzokwe!
Speak the truth and save the nation from the insanity of rigged elections and bad governance or say nothing to save the blushes and egos of misguided morons! I do not even have to stop to think which course of action to take!
@ Petamuswe
“You are barking at the wrong tree why don't you confront President Nelson Chamisa himself and tell him your nonsense. Do you think by trying to soil his name you will get followers , you will never instead he is being hailed the world over. Rambayi muchi hukurira mumvuri wenyu kusvikira voice renyu rava kuzhazhira.”
Chamisa lied when he said he plugged all the vote rigging loop holes. He even evoked the name of God with #Godisinit!”
He himself has since admitted that Zanu PF rigged the elections, the very thing that he said he had stopped. Of course, Chamisa lied! How can I be “soiling” Chamisa’s name be calling him a liar! He soiled his own name by lying!
My task is to make sure as many as possible of the 2m conned to participate in 2023 elections KNOW that Chamisa is a liar so they are not conned ever again. Why would I want to waste my time confronting Chamisa! He has lost his mystic, conning people in 2028 will not be a walk in the park, he knows it! All this must be very hard for you, you worshiped a liar all these years.
@ Dallas
Why is forming “your own party” important? Are you saying I would not hold Chamisa to account if I formed my own party? Or are you saying only those who have their own party can hold Chamisa to account?
Party or no party ALL those in public office MUST be accountable to ALL - that is not negotiable! Get that into your thick head.
@ Chamisa
THE ECHOES OF THE NEW…In the quiet, sacred beginnings of pregnancy, there is little noise—just the steady miracle of growth. But soon, the whispers turn to celebration: a baby shower, a joyful welcome, and then the world gathers to witness the arrival.
Messages of congratulations will pour in from every corner. I hear them already—echoing across valleys and cities:
“Happy Birthday, New Nation. Welcome, #AGreatZimbabwe Indeed #Godisinit”
Now that you have stopped quoting Bible verses one has to ask which god is in your hare-brain schemes?
Last time you quoted Bible verses and even claimed that you were “touched by God” you were his anointed. He claimed that CCC was going to win the 2023 elections. “I am preparing my cabinet! Plan yaMwari haifoiri!”
Mnangagwa and Zanu PF blatantly rigged the 2023 elections, the very thing you said would NOT happen. You lied about plugging all the vote rigging loop holes and falsely claimed God was in your plans.
The God of the Bible you brandished is the true God and He has never, ever failed. He was clearly not in your plans! And so the God you claim is in your new plan must be some other god!
You abandoned the CCC baby soon after the 2023 elections because “the party had been infiltrated”! What makes you sure you are the father of this one, given you are surrounded by the same faces from MDC A and CCC? The only thing certain is you have a new god in your hare-brain plans!
@ Chifedza
“Really mukomana is a liar ndinotsigira mapenzi ndoasingabvumi kuti anonyeba.”
These people were conned to participate in flawed 203 elections because they refused to accept that he conned them in 2018. We really cannot afford to let this madness continue just because the 2 m do not have the common sense to admit Chamisa is not a demigod! Chamisa is a liar and that is a historic fact.
Of course, universal suffrage has been a curse for us. We are paying dearly for the folly of giving the vote to millions who do not even have the common sense to admit Chamisa lied to them even after they are present with the evidence of the lie and the tragic, tragic consequences of their folly in believing the idiotic lie!
The threat of Chamisa conning millions to participate in flawed 2028 elections is REAL. As long as the 2m believe Chamisa is a demigod who cannot lie they will participate in the flawed 2028 elections!
Yes Zanu PF continues to rig the elections but they would have stopped in 2013 if MDC leaders had implemented the reforms and/or their brain dead supporters had stopped participating in these flawed elections to give the process legitimacy. MDC/CCC leaders and their brain dead supporters are as much Zimbabwe’s political problem as Zanu PF itself. A simple problem has become a lot more complex and there is no simple solution to a complex problem.
@ zhuwarara
“What was your input towards the change of dictator during GNU and where were you?”
The personality cult mentality is just too strong for democracy to even take root in Zimbabwe. It is both sad and true!
One would have thought after 25 years of MDC/CCC leaders on the political stage and yet the nation drifting deeper and deeper into political chaos Zimbabweans would now be pushing the opposition to explain why they have not implemented even one token democratic reform. Many are not even aware what the purpose of the opposition is much less that they had the golden opportunity to implement the democratic reforms during the GNU and they wasted it.
Any one who has dared to hold Chamisa to account for all his lies has become public enemy. No wonder we are a failed state!
@ Tich Academia
“What changes has ZANU PF brought in 45 years. You want to attack the Cat leaving the Lion. What a coward you are. Adonibezek, mukori anokora ega.”
The people of Zimbabwe have risked all to elect MDC/CCC leaders for the primary task of implementing the necessary democratic changes to stop Zanu PF rigging elections. They have not only failed to implement even one token reform in 25 years including 5 years in the GNU but have been participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy out of greed. Chamisa lied about plugging vote rigging loop holes to con his brain dead followers to participate in flawed elections out of greed.
He abandoned his own CCC party in January 2024 claimed it had been infiltrated by Zanu PF. So the man who claimed that he plugged vote rigging loop hole in the Zanu PF vote rigging juggernaut could not even stop the regime infiltrating his own party!
Chamisa & co. are Zanu PF team B in all but name, playing for team A to win and have legitimacy. Of course, Chamisa & co. are corrupt, incompetent and utterly useless.
You will never acknowledge Chamisa is a liar and corrupt out of blind loyalty. Chamisa is your demigod who can do no wrong. How anyone can be so shallow, thick and slow to consider a mere mortal a demigod in this day and age beggars belief.
https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1BdGYZLZlYoJX
Zimbabwe is a failed state and many do not even understand what is going on much less what to do about it. Why, after 45 years of independence with the country up to its eye-balls in the economic mess and political paralysis, the nation is twiddling its thumbs in confusion beggars belief.

All Senior army commanders to receive new vehicles before Tuesday next week .

junior soldiers , like all other civil servants are in serious poverty .
Zanu pf born out of coup only prioritizes those in positions of influence."
All this to buy the loyalty of the individuals whilst the good of the commonwealth is ignored!
Sadly this is true. In Zimbabwe, the glory of Mnangagwa, Caesar, trumps the good of Zimbabwe, Rome. Historian will tell you this misplaced priories were the root cause of the collapse of the Roman Empire. Zimbabwe is already a failed state, the threat of yet another military coup or worse hangs over the nation like the sword of Damocles!
@ Temba Mliswa
The true crisis, according to Mliswa, is using the anti-corruption banner as a political weapon. "The point is fighting corruption can't be done only at convenient political moments with victims selectively chosen," he warned.
He fears the entire initiative is becoming a tool to settle scores and protect allies during "politically turbulent times," only to be discarded once personal goals are met. It's a strategy he describes as an "insincere initiative," comparing it to a submersible that surfaces only to serve a temporary, hidden agenda.
As long as Zimbabwe remains a pariah state ruled by Mafia godfathers, nothing will change. They are the chief beneficiaries if the corruption and the looted wealth is bankrolling the vote rigging juggernaut and controls all the lever of political and economic power.
Stopping the brain dead opposition supporters from participating in flawed elections is the only realistic soft underbelly of the beast hence the reason why Mnangagwa, just like Mugabe before him, is always jittery during elections. Reports that Chamisa has lost political credibility and will therefore no con millions to participate in flawed 2028 elections are making not just Mnangagwa but everyone in Shake-Shake Building jumpy.
Mnangagwa will happily donate as many cattle as needed from his special breed to be slaughtered at Chamisa’s launch of his new political party if that would boast Chamisa’s ebbing political popularity. Deny Zanu PF political credibility and the party is finished! Mnangagwa knows that the new GNU will implement all the democratic reforms the 2008 to 2013 GNU failed to implement!
@ Musabata Cadre
“This quisling called Chamisa never ceases to amaze me.First he hoodwinks his constituency into thinking there was 'rigging' and that he had put in place anti-rigging measures. He vowed with bible finality that it was impossible for anyone to rig the elections. Then strategic ambiguity ricocheted him and he started crying about election rigging. Then came the dimwit Tshabangu who outmanoeuvred a whole advocate. He then ditched his baby and went on an indefinite sabbatical.Boom 2025 he comes again to trick the same gullible urban folk. Politics is his cash cow, when will the urban electorate learn that it is never too late to join and support Zanu pf.”
Considering the chief beneficiary of all Chamisa & co.’s political machinations and treasonous betrayal was Zanu PF I am surprise that you would want the brain dead Chamisa chete chet brigade members to up-sticks and join Zanu PF. Zanu PF needs the people to retain their opposition stance. Zanu PF needs to maintain the outward appearance that Zimbabwe is a vibrant multi-party state.
The fact that MDC/CCC leaders have been doing Zanu PF’s bidding is one thing, Mnangagwa knows that for political legitimacy the opposition needs to maintain the outward appearance that they have a big support base independent of Zanu PF. Make no mistake about it, Mnangagwa will be spending millions of dollars to help Chamisa build up his new political party to give him political credibility but not to win power from Zanu PF - a very subtle difference but a very important one.
Mliswa is right, we must call a spade a spade and even bloody spade if the need arise! Mnangagwa is responsible for the country’s political and economic mess. But most important of all we must never forget that Mnangagwa rigged the 2023 elections (or be it with the connivance of Chamisa and his CCC fiends) and therefore is illegitimate. History will never forgive this generation for allowing a buffoon like Mnangagwa to occupy the highest office in the land for 45 years counting the Mugabe years!
https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1eaKbjybelQKX
In Zimbabwe we have a political culture where leaders are praised to the high heaven whenever things are going well, even when the leaders had nothing to do with it (George Orwell Animal Farm style). And when things go wrong we bend over backwards to blame everyone else except our glorious leader.
Needless to say the leaders have encouraged this personality cult mentality and have routinely refused to take the blame for their failures.
Temba Mliswa is right, Mnangagwa is the State President and therefore he must accept it is his faulty corruption is rampant in Zimbabwe.
Whilst still at State House, Mnangagwa must be told in no uncertain terms that he rigged the 2023 elections or be it with the connivance of Chamisa and CCC. He is per se illegitimate!
Chamisa lied to con people to participate in flawed elections to perpetuate the dictatorship and the nation's suffering. Of course, he is a liar and those who continue to deny it to give him a squeaky clean bill of health are doing so out of the sickening personality cult mentality.
If he is allowed to get away with it he is going to con the nation to participate in flawed 2028 elections to perpetuate the dictatorship and the nation's suffering. This must be stopped; no if and no but!

“Hey Adonibezek Mukori, The past is for the Rear View Mirror. The present is for the National Driven. The future is for the windscreen, bigger picture, and futuristic. So Adonibezek, stop concentrating on the Rear View Mirror, concentrate on the Windscreen, because that is where you are going, and the wind screen is wide for your clear vision. We are moving on while you are wittering about Chamisa. That, Chamisa, this.”
So Chamisa conned the nation to participate in 2018 elections on the basis of the idiotic lie that “MDC A had stringent measures to stop Zanu PF rigging the 2018 elections.” People believed the idiotic lie and participated only to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the dictatorship.
The nation failed to learn from that mistake because doing so was wasting time on the past, “on the rear view mirror”. The truth is if the nation had learned the lesson then they would have agreed that Chamisa lied and conned them to do something foolish which backfired on them! They did not learn from the folly of 2018 and so they were conned yet again to participate in flawed 2023 elections.
It is imperative that the people learn from the past mistake. Man is a creature of reason and human civilisation itself is nothing but amassed human experience when the present is that much wiser precisely because they learn from those who went before them and add their own experience so future generation learn from the past and present.
Only an idiot would repeat the same mistake over and over again because he would not review what he himself did three years ago much less what other did hundreds or even thousands of years ago.
Common sense dictates that a good driver will concentrate on where he is going but will also keep an eye on the rear, left and right mirrors so he has an all-round complete picture of what is going on. Indeed, that is the reason why cars have rear, left and right mirrors and you must adjust them to suit before you start.
“We are moving on while you are wittering about Chamisa!” Chamisa is a liar and if you think he is going yet another easy run conning people to participate in flawed 2028 elections; you are wrong. The blind euphoria in support of Chamisa on this platform has evaporated like mist under the hot African sun. Many people now KNOW that Chamisa lied to them about plugging vote rigging loop holes to con them.
You can con some people ALL the time, you can con ALL the people some of the times but you cannot con ALL the people ALL the time. Not even the brain wash Chamisa chete chete brigade members are that dumb and stupid they will be conned again and again and again; after 45 years of rigged elections some are finally waking up!
Chamisa has since dropped the Bible verses, he knows many people know that he is not the anointed one. Why would God anoint a habitual liar! And Chamisa’s claim that God was in his hare-brain schemes is all bulls***t as none of these plans have ever come to pass.
Chamisa is a mere mortal and a corrupt, incompetent and a liar at that. He is NOT a demigod. How anyone believed this nonsense in the day and age beggars belief!

@ Rico Karia
“Iweee, unoda answer inodarika yandakupa here, i am just showing you that i am not as you think even if he said it or not i voted for him. Blaaaa there are so many ways of killing a cat.”
Like all the other freedoms and rights, the right to vote to vote comes with it the duty of care to others. If you have been warned repeated that participating in flawed elections will never change the result - Zanu PF will win - it will only give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the dictatorship and the nation’s suffering. And that MDC/CCC leaders are conning you to participate out of greed, they are after the few gravy train seats Zanu PF is offering as bait.
“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.
If you knew all these fact why would you still participate just because Chamisa told you to. You are supposed to think for yourself. You are supposed to think of your duty of care to others who will suffer the consequences of perpetuating the Zanu PF dictatorship.
You did not think nor think of your duty of care to others and so you really should not be the right to vote. Giving you the vote is as irresponsible as giving a monkey a loaded gun!
Universal suffrage in a country like Zimbabwe with millions of ignorant and gullible voters who can easily be conned to do stupid things was unwise. The situation was made a nightmare given we have corrupt and tyrannical political leaders in both Zanu PF and MDC/CCC who cares only about power and wealth and were only keen to take advantage of the naive voters to further their selfish goals.
So you think in participating in flawed elections to give vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the nation’s suffering you are “killing the cat!” What cat and to what end and purpose? So the rats can thrive? How nauseating! How is it possible that any one can be so shallow, thick and slow!
Chiwenga standing firm against corruption! So you think he bought his farms, mansions, posh cars, 45 gold watches, etc. from his commander’s salary?
Chiwenga played a major role in the 2008 electoral coup and 2017 military coup to deny the masses a meaningful say in the governance of the country. How anyone can still say such a buffoon is is fit to govern only goes to show just how shallow, thick and slow they are!
We are going to end the Zanu PF dictatorship and not swap one dictator for another!
@ Nomazulu Thata
“The script is familiar when it comes to Zimbabwe's power matrix. Chiwenga gave Mnangagwa an inch, but Mnangagwa snatched a mile. Even in his wildest calculations, Chiwenga never imagined Mnangagwa would disappoint this deeply.
The comrade-to-comrade power transfer arrangement is an open secret among Zimbabweans - a handover behind the backs of voters.
Something went seriously wrong. The transfer never happened. The former was short-changed by the latter.
Now Chiwenga wants Tagwirei arrested. But the reason is unconvincing. Tagwirei didn't directly loot state coffers - he was granted soft procurement deals by his godfather, Mnangagwa.
He supplied vital energy services, timed perfectly to enrich himself. If reason leaves the room, who is the real Chigananda - Chiwenga or Tagwirei?”
I am both surprise and disappointed with some Zimbabweans who have been conned into supporting Chiwenga in the Zanu PF factional war. In their desperation to see the back of Mnangagwa they now consider Chiwenga a viable option! This is as much a false choice as a mouse choosing a cobra or a black mamba!
What the nation wants is to end the Zanu PF dictatorship and replace it with a healthy and functioning democracy. And not to be swapped one dictator for another as happened in 2017!
Universal suffrage has become one of Zimbabwe’s worse curse. We gave the vote to millions who have no clue what the burning issues are and hence must cast their vote after careful consideration of the consequence of their vote. The right to vote comes with the duty of care to others.
They have been easily conned to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate their own suffering again and again. Giving them a vote has been like giving a monkey a load gun!
Stopping the ignorant and naive mob supporting Chiwenga is not going to be a walk in the park!
@ Patrick
My worst offence was to call Chamisa a liar! Well, he did lie about plugging all vote rigging loop holes to con people to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the nation’s suffering.
You do not want the truth to be said and I am here to say the truth because Chamisa will not be allowed to con the nation to participate in flawed 2028 elections and perpetuate the suffering. No amount of abuse from you or any one else will detract me from that task!
@ Tich Academia
"Hey, Adonibezek Mukori, please save our souls. You are an impediment to the development of the nation. Now you jumped from Chamisa to General Chihwenga. What kind of an animal are you. Leave General alone. Concentrate on Mnangagwa and his Zvigananda. Generari Havana mhosva. Siyana navo. Vatori raiti vakadaro."
Address the issue raised! Did Chiwenga buy his farms, mansions, posh cars, 45 gold watches, etc. from his commander’s salary? No! Then he is not squeaky clean and must be held to account.
Chamisa we already know is a corrupt, incompetent and a liar and he too is accountable!
Chiwenga and Mnangagwa are just the two sides of the same coin. They were both involved in the 2008 and 2017 electoral and military coups to deny Zimbabweans a meaningful say in the governance of the country. They are both corrupt and murderous thugs.
Chamisa is not a demigod nor is Chiwenga or Mnangagwa!

There are reports of a new wave of houses being demolished in Mabvuku in Harare. Why did the authorities allow these houses to be build, some of these houses were completed 20 or more years ago?
Many people have migrated into urban areas because that is the only place they would get title deeds to the land. Zanu PF has continued to deny title deeds to even a postage stamp size piece of land to rural folk for selfish political reasons. The regime has retained the white colonial regime's Tribal Trust Land policies designed to deny blacks the ownership of land.
Rural folk must realise Zanu PF is determined to keep them poor and subservient to the regime and its proxies. They must demand the right to own land. They must build decent homesteads develop the yard by growing fruit trees, etc. - a statement of intend - and claim for themselves the birth right title deed call it the Chief Rekai Tengwena Title Deed!

“Good evening, comrades and friends.
The issues of politicians outside the government should set aside, and let's focus on the current office holders.
This group used to be a very informative group, and I personally feel that we are losing it out.
We have many important issues to put forward and have constructive discussions here. Please let's leave political leaders outside the government alone and put all our efforts on the current system of government.
Why should we talk of Chamisa and other politicians and leave Zanu Pf and the current system of government.
Talking about Chamisa will not address any of our current situation in Zimbabwe.”
You want us to forget Chamisa and his fellow opposition leaders and just focus on Mnangagwa and Zanu PF ruling elite. So you think we can end the Zanu PF dictatorship by focusing on the Zanu PF regime alone and ignore what the opposition is doing.
Zanu PF is a party of corrupt, incompetent and murderous thugs whose only care is to retain political at all cost. By the late 1990s it was clear that the regime was rigging elections to stay in power and will never reform itself out of office. The nation had two options either wage another liberation war to end the Zanu PF dictatorship or elect opposition leaders who will implement the democratic reforms to end the dictatorship. The nation chose the later.
The people of Zimbabwe have risked all to elect the MDC/CCC leaders into power these last 25 years on the understanding that they will implement the democratic reforms to end the Zanu PF dictatorship the nation was dying for.
Zanu PF has not only continued to blatant rigged the elections but has got away with it because MDC/CCC leaders have failed to implement even one token reform and have conned the people to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy.
“Please let's leave political leaders outside the government alone and put all our efforts on the current system of government,” you are suggesting. Well that is strange, to say the least!
Surely the more rational step is to accept that MDC/CCC leaders have failed to implement even one token reform and we must replace them with men and women who will implement the reforms.
You want to focus on Zanu PF to what end and purpose - get the regime to reform itself out of office?
Some people cannot accept that Chamisa lied about plugging the vote rigging loop holes to con people to participate in flawed elections. To them Chamisa is a demigod who can do no wrong. The truth is this is the warped mentality that has landed us in this mess and the reason why we are stuck.
Chamisa is a mere mortal and not a demigod! Why some people cannot accept a simple truth like this beggars belief. No wonder we are a failed state, if we cannot comprehend simple matters we have no chance of comprehending complex ones.
@ Jemwa
“Talk about the people in government not outside. Talk about the current parliament. Talk about 1976 Bylaws , talk about the health act and the urban council act.
Chamisa is not here, and this group is not a Chamisa group. We have been stuck with Chamisa this Chamisa when our affairs are being governed by laws that are not at all aligned to the 2013 Constitution.
Please, my brother, let's move on with things that change our lives.
On the political side, let's put focus on ourselves, not discussing Chamisa always. We have been stuck with the Chamisa issue since the death of Tsvangirai on this group. This is not fair.
When something is to be discussed on the group from noway, Chamisa issue is posted.”
You have not answered the central point raised. We have risked all to elect MDC/CCC leaders to implement the democratic reforms to end the dictatorship. We are still in this mess because they sold out.
Political change will come from replacing Chamisa & co with men and women who will implement the democratic reforms. Pretending Chamisa & co. have done nothing wrong, worse still let him con the nation into participating in flawed 2028 elections on the basis of yet another idiotic lie will be irresponsible and suicidal.
What is unfair about calling Chamisa a liar, when we all know that he did indeed lie and the tragic consequences of his lies!
@ Momo
“Exactly the point. The moment you judge someone as being stupid or doing stupid things, you are judging them and the question is why do you do such things.”
Albert Einstein said insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. So if you are doing some thing over and over again especially when the consequences of your insanity affects me and millions of others I should say nothing for fear of judging you?
No! A rational person will say that you in no uncertain terms that you are insane. Participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate one’s own suffering and that of millions of others because you believed an idiotic lie after 45 years of rigged elections is insane, idiotic call it whatever you want.
I will never pretend such a person has done nothing wrong much less call wiser than King Solomon to appease you or anyone else! NEVER!
@ Jemwa
“People were not forced to support him. Chamisa was not the only person in 2018 and 2023 elections. You are too focused on the MDC/CCC issue, leaving the most important facts about Zimbabwe.
You sound as if to say if Chamisa dies today, everything will change.”
I do not the 2 m who were conned to participate in flawed 2023 elections KNEW that Chamisa was lying to them about plugging the vote rigging loop hole. It was an idiotic lie but they still believed him that CCC was going to win big! They did not KNOW at the time and many still do not KNOW even now with the benefit of hindsight that participating would give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate their own suffering.
No one would ever do something KNOWING it will bring them harm.
Most of the 2 m who were easily conned by Chamisa have the personality cult mentality, they believe him him to be a demigod who can do no wrong and hence the reason why they will not accept that he is a liar even if you presented them with a mount Everest of evidence.
“People were not forced to support him,” you argue. True, Chamisa does not have the physical or material coercive powers Zanu PF enjoy. Still one cannot deny that he is taking advantage that these people are ignorant, naive, gullible and, given the country’s economic mess and political paralysis, are desperate for change.
Instead of abandoning these people be conned by the like of Chamisa to do his dirty bidding; I say we should educate them so the know Chamisa is a liar, etc. When you realise that we are all suffering the tragic consequences of perpetuating the Zanu PF dictatorship it is clear to me that doing otherwise is insane!
If people understood that Chamisa is a liar, why he is conning them to participate in flawed elections and the dire consequence to them and the nation of participating. They will NOT participate! The number one priority right now is making sure millions are not conned to participate in flawed 2028 elections. A Herculean task given most of these people are impermeable to reason and logic and yet not an impossible one one given all humans are creatures of reason!
@ Tich Academia
“Hey Adonibezek Mukori, why talk of Chamisa who is outside and with no political party. Why not talk of these two siamese twins, Tshabangu and Dhagi Dhagi Mwonzora. Why externalities your focus when there is much desired internal focus. Be guided accordingly.”
I would talk about the siamese twins if they were the ones who conned millions to participate in flawed elections in 2018 and 2023 with the idiotic
lies of “MDC A has stringent measures to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections” and “I have plugged all the vote rigging loop holes” respectively. The twins only featured way after the elections were over and Zanu PF had secured political legitimacy. The twins ndavana mucheka dzafa!
Rumour has it Chamisa is launching a new political party tomorrow, the liar is back! If anyone is going to con millions to participate in flawed 2028 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the dictatorship and the nation’s suffering it is none other than the seasoned liar and sellout Nelson Chamisa.
Douglas Mwonzora and the other 9 opposition leaders participated in the 2023 elections and polled 4% of the votes between them compared to Chamisa’s 44%. I do not believe the siamese twins will do any better in 2028! You go after them, after all you are obsessed about trivial matters, you are a village idiot after all!!
Leave Chamisa and his Chamisa chete chete apologists and morons to me. I have a simple message for them all: Chamisa is a mere mortal; a corrupt, incompetent and a liar to boot. He is not a demigod. I am hammering the message home and I am getting through because many are fuming and frothing; calling me all manner of idiotic names like Adonibezek (whatever that is supposed to mean) in their desperate effort to silence me.
The simple truth sludge hammer blows are as deliberate as they are relentless! Many, many people will KNOW that Chamisa is a liar by 2028; you can bet your bottom dollar on that one.
@ John Munetsi Jemwa
Since 2018, it's Chamisa this chamisa that. We used to have constructive discussions with all political parties here, but all gone because of the Chamisa fight. We have a lot of people who have been just quiet for years now.
We have more than enough of Chamisa, and we are tired of it. Our minds require new things to focus on.
When anything is posted on the group, the next message response is Chamisa MDC/CCC.
I request the honorable member to explain what he has achieved so far by such acts except rendering the Newsroom useless.
Chamisa has been on 90% of Mr Mukori's daily submissions, and we ask him to stop disruption of such nature. We are now like people in prison. Please, Mr Mukori, we request that you value other group members' fillings and emotions. We request that you see the group as a Newsroom for all news, not for propaganda against one individual.
Please, Mr Mukori, repeat others, take your issues with Chamisa to other political groups , and definitely welcome you. This group must be returned back to its original function.”
“We used to have constructive discussions with all political parties here, but all gone because of the Chamisa fight,” you said. And yet all those “constructive discussions” did not get MDC/CCC leaders to implement even one token reform in 25 years including the 5 GNU years when they had the best chance to do so.
The “constructive discussions” did not stop Chamisa and company conning the people again and again to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the nation’s suffering. It is not as if you lot did not know participating in flawed elections was foolish; you knew it.
“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.
"If blacks are to rule themselves people in towns will walk on sewage until they believe it's normal, all the gains from colonization will varnish, infrastructure will collapse, roads will be impassable, trains will kill ppl until they're abandoned as an unsafe mode of transport, hospitals will be closed, farms will be grabbed and nothing to feed the nation,” Ian Smith predicted in 1975.
Ian Smith was a racist but his prediction was spot on; he understood the psychology of many of our people. People are not only walking on sewage it is overflowing into major water supply sources like Lake Chivero and people are drinking sewage. They think it perfectly normal. They will fume and froth at you if you dare pointing out flowing sewage, potholes in the roads, etc., etc. Nothing, absolutely nothing irritate some people more than the truth, especially if the said truth relate to their glorious leaders.
Chamisa is a demigod and to even suggest he lied is sacrilege!
The very idea that Zimbabwe should be dragged deeper and deeper into this hell-on-earth of our own making just because there are some nincompoops who will not accept that Chamisa is a mere mortal and a liar is the real outrage! It would be irresponsible to let the nincompoops have the final say on this matter. IRRESPONSIBLE!
@ John Munetsi Jemwa
“Please, my brother, let's move forward with life. The issues of elections must be set aside.
Many group members here are no longer participating because of one thing being said over and over again.
We are losing a lot because of your bitterness about Zimbabwe elections. Please create your group for that and Air your views.
Please please.”
The number one reason Zimbabwe is a failed state is our failure to hold free, fair and credible elections and thus end the Zanu PF dictatorship. After 45 years of rigged elections, it is not surprising that this is the A1 issue on the national agenda.
You want elections dropped because you do not want to hear that MDC/CCC leaders are Zanu PF team B in all but name, conning the nation to participate in flawed elections to make sure Zanu PF team A wins and have legitimacy. You are quite happy to let Chamisa launch his new party, con people to participate in 2028, etc. - just do not mention that he is a liar!
Thank God, this platform is not one of those CCC or Zanu PF echo chambers!
@ Tich Academia
Chamisa said he “plugged all the vote rigging loop holes to stop Zanu PF rigging the 2023 elections. #Godisinit!” He even evoke the name of God Almighty. Zanu PF blatantly rigged the 2023 elections. SADC, AU and all the other election observers condemned the election process as flawed and illegal. Chamisa himself admitted the elections were rigged. Only a nincompoop would deny that Chamisa lied and want a lie-detector.
The more you deny Chamisa is a liar and defend the indefensible the more people see you for whom you really are - a pathetic nincompoop!
@ Mwari Ndikomborereivo
“Yes nothing was implemented by Mdc/ccc but saying it over and over will not make anyone implement it.”
Glad to hear you KINOW that no reforms were implemented, that is very significant progress (in a nation that has taken 45 years and still failed to hold free and fair elections - that is very significant progress indeed). Now let’s see what else you KNOW!
Do you know who was supposed to implement the reforms? And why did they fail to implement even one token reform in 25 years including the 5 GNU years when they had the best opportunity to do so? (Enough for now!)
@ John Munetsi Jemwa
“This group is not a political group honourable Mukori. Please open your group and post your submissions.
The messages you have sent on this group are affecting everyone. Please respect yourself as an elderly person.
We have lessened to your story for the past many years. Please allow others to participate in other issues.
We thank you for all your political analysis, but please take a leave and allow others to participate.
NEWSROOM needs us to participate freely on issues affecting our great country Zimbabwe.”
Censorship comes in all manners and disguises.
The late Edson Zvobgo talked of how his Zanu PF colleagues stifled debate. "Whenever they lost an argument when we were in Mozambique, they would accuse you of being CIA to avoid the substantive issues," he explained.
“Today they call you an American puppet to avoid responsibility.” He called it the Mozambique syndrome.
Times have changed but the essence of the Mozambique syndrome is still there. Because Chamisa is a demigod, calling him a liar (more so when every one knows that he is a liar) is stopping “us participate freely on issues affecting our great country Zimbabwe.” How pathetic!
Fcuk me! No wonder we are a failed state and, at this rate, are doomed to stay where we are!

Talk of playing the fiddle whilst Rome burn, Zanu PF thugs have been playing their high stake power games for 45 years and counting whilst Zimbabwe has been drifting deeper and deeper into this hell-on-earth of the regime's own making. Some people thought the 2017 military coup would end to the factional wars, the light to mark the end of the tunnel. Wrong!
The 2017 coup was but a run-away freight train barreling down the tunnel! The 2017 coup did not end the factional war with a blood bath, everyone is worried sick the on going Zanu PF factional war may not have a happy ending too. And, most important of all, when will the madness of Zanu PF dictatorship end?
We had the golden opportunity to end the Zanu PF dictatorship during the 2008 to 2013 GNU; we wasted it. And now we are regretting it!

"Please play your funny political games some where else not in this church!" a Pastor in Nigeria tells the politicians. Cannot imagine any church leader in Zimbabwe telling Mnangagwa or Chamisa that!
In Zimbabwe politicians have become honorary church leaders clothed in church regalia and even joining in the church dance. Politicians have showered churches with gifts in return for votes. Pastors/politicians have presented their party manifestos as God's plan, #Godisinit! "God's plan will not fail!" When the plan has failed, as has often happened, the politician has skunked off without ever admitting he lied!
Let's separate the pastor from the politician, the things of God from those of mere mortals! Church members should be free to associate and vote for whoever they like without being instructed from the pulpit!
