Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Preamble
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,
Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,
Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,
Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,
Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,
Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,

The General Assembly,

Zimbabwe's economic meltdown is real, every one can see that Mnangagwa's vision 2030 is a mirage, everyone is restless for change. The centre cannot hold, things fall apart!
Yesterday Mnangagwa read the riot act to the Zanu PF members in an effort to buy their blind loyalty with fear instead of the usual currency of loot. Some party loyalist have answered him back and told him in no uncertain terms that they will not be silenced!
The sooner we can dismantle the Zanu PF dictatorship the sooner the nation can end this cycle of violence and vote rigging!
Mutamba's appointment, however, is not without controversy. In 2022, the United States imposed sanctions on him for his involvement in actions that were seen as undermining Zimbabwe's democratic processes and institutions. The U.S. government accused him of supporting the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (Zanu PF)-aligned security services in their actions to intimidate opposition figures and suppress dissent, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mutamba's role in curbing opposition activities and limiting international observation of the 2023 elections further intensified concerns regarding his commitment to democratic principles.
Despite the sanctions, Mutamba's rise to the top of the police force has been seen as a strategic move by President Mnangagwa to ensure loyalty and maintain control over the security apparatus in the country. With the new appointment, Mutamba's influence within Zimbabwe's law enforcement will only continue to grow, as he takes on the challenge of overseeing the country's police operations amidst a tense political climate.
As Matanga prepares to step down in 2024, the political and security landscape in Zimbabwe remains under close scrutiny, with Mutamba's leadership expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the country's future law enforcement strategy.
Zimbabwe’s state institutions are Zanu PF departments in all but name, there to serve the party’s primary goal of staying in power at all costs. The nation had the chance, particularly during the 2008 to 2013 GNU, to implement the democratic reforms and thus end Zanu PF’s corrupting control over these state institutions. MDC/CCC leaders not only wasted these chances but worst of all they have been conning their brain dead followers to participate in flawed elections to perpetuate the dictatorship.
We need to implement the democratic reforms if we are ever to end this de facto Zanu PF dictatorship. As long as this failed political system remains, they will be no meaning economic recovery or political change. We are stuck!

Mnangagwa creates a new land tenure system to benefit the ruling elite and the their cronies. And he has retained the colonial Tribal Trust Land/ Communal Area system that deny rural blacks title deeds to even the land on which their mud hovel stood for selfish political gains just as Smith did!
44 years after independence and millions of our fellow country folk continue to be treated as medieval serfs, wondering Jew with no roots, at the mercy of the overbearing Zanu PF landlord and their proxies. How long are we going to allow these Zanu PF thugs to hold millions in abject poverty and the nation to ransom!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Wk1-gM0Kzk
Zimbabwe is failing to provide basic services such as the supply of clean drinking water and sewage service and yet continues to spend vast fortunes on such luxuries as a Rolls Royce to the presidential motorcade. The criminal waste of the nation's wealth on few ruling elite started soon after independence and has continued to this day.
The glory of Caesar must never ever trump the good of Rome. In Zimbabwe, it is the norm!
@ Lynnet
To stay in power Mnangagwa has no choice but to rigged the elections. He will be counting on the opposition to participate no matter how flawed the process got. He is doing his best to make sure the opposition participate no matter how flawed the process get!
The recent national budget should be called ruling elite budget because Minister Mthuli Ncube is sparing no public Every one would “die” to be MP, councillor, etc. Chamisa and company will be participating in the 2028 elections and all talk of boycotting the elections is just that - talk!
@ Muhemwa
“Morgan Tsvangirai's vision for Zimbabwe's democratic struggle was centred on reforming the country's institutions, not just replacing the person in power. He focused on changing the national constitutional framework, increasing people's participation, and reforming democratic institutions like election management, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, and land tenure.”
Are you saying Tsvangirai delivered the democratic changes? If so, then why are we still having rigged elections?
If he did not deliver, who stopped him?
We cannot continue to witter about Tsvangirai having vision, when it is lear he did not! Tsvangirai and his MDC friends sold out by failing to implement even one token reform even when they had the golden opportunity to do so.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmEr0CdTahY
What good will it be to the nation if Mnangagwa was to drop dead before 2028 if he will only be replaced by Chiwenga or some such Zanu PF who will rig the 2028 elections and become the next dictator? We should be smart enough by now to know that as long as Zanu PF retain is carte blanche powers to rig elections, the party will rig elections and we will be swapping one dictator for another.
Of course, it is foolish and childish to pray to swap one dictator for another! We should know better!
President Emmerson Mnangagwa has reportedly added a luxurious Rolls-Royce, dubbed "New Zim 1," to his presidential motorcade, igniting a fierce public debate over the display of opulence amidst Zimbabwe's economic hardships.
The British-made Rolls-Royce, renowned for its craftsmanship and association with wealth and power, joins an already controversial fleet that includes a high-end Mercedes Benz Brabus. Critics have long questioned such lavish expenditures, citing the stark contrast between the government's spending and the daily struggles faced by ordinary citizens.
The addition of the Rolls-Royce has drawn sharp criticism on social media and in public discourse. Many Zimbabweans see the purchase as tone-deaf, given the country's ongoing crises, including collapsing healthcare infrastructure, frequent power outages, and widespread poverty.
Of course, this explains why Mnangagwa is determined to remain in power, he knows that as former President he will not have such a motorcade! It all started with Mugabe buying the E-Class Mercedes Benz limos for all his his ministers soon after independence. The ministers said nothing then not knowing he would go on to bankrupt the whole nation on luxuries for himself and his family. Mnangagwa has turned out to be equally extravagant!
Asking Mnangagwa to leave office and give up all this luxury and absolute power is asking too much. Of course, he is going to fight tooth and nail to remain in offie.
It took a military coup to force Mugabe out of office after 37 years. Will probably need yet another coup to price-off Mnangagwa!
@ Mukanya
“So wat and wat did u do.”
Chamisa and company not only lied about winning RIGGED elections, they conned millions of Zimbabweans to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and thus perpetuate the nation’s suffering. Are you going to ask me, “So what and what did you do?” too?
The country is sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss, millions of our people are living in abject poverty and all the nincompoop has to say is “So what and what did you do?”
No wonder Zimbabwe is a failed state! We really have some really stupid people and you, Mukanya, take the biscuit! How an any one be so shallow, thick and slow? How can anyone be so indifferent to the tragic suffering and deaths of millions of others, even his own kith and kin?
@ Eccentric Pictures
“The village idiot did nothing but make unnecessary noice on social media.”
Well I did not participate in the flawed elections and warned you of the folly of participating in the flawed elections only to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the dictatorship.
What did you, Eccentric Pictures, the wise one, do? Participate in the flawed elections to perpetuate the dictatorship and the suffering of millions and have been defending Chamisa for betraying the nation! Even now with the benefit of hindsight you still continue to deny Chamisa lied.
How is it possible that a human being can be this shallow, thick and slow!!!! And there are millions of mentally retardants just like you out there. Poor, Zimbabwe, we really have no chance of ever getting out of this hell-hole we find ourselves stuck in. None!
Millions will participate in flawed 2028 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy just as they have done in the past. There is no reasoning with those who are, for all practical purposes, brain dead.
@ Eccentric Pictures
The real idiots (there are millions of them out there, those showing themselves on the social media platforms are the ears of the hippo above the muddy water) participated in the flawed 2023 elections because they believed Chamisa’s idiotic lie that he had “plugged all the vote rigging loop holes. #Godisinit!”
The idiots accept that Zanu PF rigged the elections but will not accept that Chamisa lied about stopping Zanu PF rigging elections. How any one can hold such a conflicting and contradictory position beggars belief but Zimbabwe’s village idiots do and they are millions of them.
It is clear that Chamisa or anyone of the other opposition leaders will con the village idiots to participate in flawed 2028 elections on the basis of yet another idiotic lie of winning RIGGED elections. Idiots like you should not have the right to vote, it is tantamount to giving a monkey a loaded gun - it is endangering the monkey and those around!
You have the vote and so all one can do is try to educate you on the folly of participating in flawed elections - easier said than done as we can see. Even after 44 years of rigged elections the village idiots are hell bent on making it 48 years of rigged elections!
You are so lost in your personality cult mentality you consider Chamisa a demigod. You will follow him blindly and you even have the cheek to call those who dare to call him a mere mortal “village idiots!” Your brain has ossified into fat, it is pointless reasoning with you, you are beyond the pale.
@ Eccentric Pictures
Stop talking nonsense! I did warn you of the folly of participating in flawed elections but you refused to listen so now it is my fault you refused to listen? You really are stupid!
@ Eccentric Pictures
Chamisa lied about plugging vote rigging loop hole to con you to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the dictatorship. Of course you were foolish be so easily conned especially after 44 years of rigged elections. There are the facts, you just do not want to accept the facts and so keep coming up with all manner of idiotic excuses why you cannot accept the facts.
What matters here is to stop you and your fellow village idiots participating in the flawed 2028 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and thus perpetuating the nation’s suffering. And if you think you can do so on the basis of “The reason why no one will ever listen to you is because of your wrong approach in this whole this!” that will never wash here!
@ Ladismavusa
“All of us did not participate like you and the opposition that you passionately fight against did not make the numbers, thats why those people are in power.
Those people dis not need to rig they used and paid biscuit heads like you and others to derail the fast moving train.”
I warned that people should not participate in the flawed elections, “so flawed, so illegal, the logical step is to withdraw”. People did not listen because they believed Chamisa’s idiotic lie of “plugging all vote rigging loop holes. #Godisinit!”
Zanu PF did rig the elections - proof Chamisa had lied about plugging the vote rigging loop holes - proof I was right in warning Chamisa was a liar!
So where does this “Those people did not need to rig they used and paid biscuit heads like you and others to derail the fast moving train!” come from? You are so stupid you will never accept that Chamisa is not only a mere mortal but corrupt, incompetent and a liar - not a demigod at all!
Universal suffrage has been curse for Zimbabwe given we have predatory politicians and millions of ignorant and gullible voters like you who are easily conned. The country is in a real mess because we have millions of brain dead voters like you who do not even have the common sense to admit the truth even when there is a mountain of evidence.
How any human being can consider Chamisa a demigod, in this day and age, beggars belief!
How anyone can be conned to believe the opposition will win RIGGED elections even after 44 years of rigged elections beggars beliefs. And yet here is one such cup-cake - you and millions others out there!
Dear Lord, You blessed Zimbabwe with the bounty of mineral wealth varied flora and fauna. You must be disappointed to see how the great abundance of wealth has become Zimbabwe’s curse because the country has had the misfortune of having so many leaders and followers alike with the IQ of a slug!
@ Mukanya
You cannot accept that Chamisa lied about plugging the vote rigging loop holes and so you are coming up with all these feeble excuses for the lies.
So you think he lied about “plugging all the vote rigging loop holes” because no one had warned him and he did not know he was lying? And the millions conned to participate believed the lie because they did not know it was a lie?
The tragedy is the same feeble excuses will be given to justify participating in flawed 2028 elections!
You are a human being with the intellect of a slug! How any one can be so shallow, thick and slow is a mystery, but there you are a human being whose brain tissue has ossified into fat!
The issuance of title deeds to beneficiaries of Zimbabwe's Land Reform Programme has been hailed as a historic milestone, cementing the irreversibility of the initiative and unlocking significant value for indigenous people.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa made the announcement during his address on the 37th anniversary of Zimbabwe's Unity Day, emphasizing that this bold move would empower over 380,000 beneficiaries, further solidifying the legacy of the country's liberation struggle.
"The policies and programmes of the Second Republic are galvanising us all towards increased production and productivity, and propelling us to the realisation of Vision 2030," said President Mnangagwa. "Brick by brick, stone upon stone, and step by step, we are unapologetically marching forward."
The President highlighted the impact of the initiative, noting that it was crucial for reinforcing Zimbabwe's sovereignty, prosperity, and socio-economic development. He expressed pride in his administration's efforts to fulfill the constitutional right of every Zimbabwean citizen to hold and occupy agricultural land.
"This past week, we saw my administration concretize the obligation to give rights to every Zimbabwean citizen to hold and occupy agricultural land," he added. "Through this historic act, these new tenure documents will be issued to over 23,500 A2 farmers and over 360,000 A1 farmers.”
Nonsense! Zanu PF’s distribution of the land has always been politicised, only those with political connections got the land. Now the regime is giving these beneficiaries the right to sell the land.
The state still continues to own most of the land in the country and it is clear the land will continue to be allocated to the ruling elite and their cronies.
The new land tenure system has not scrapped the colonial era Tribal Trust Land tenure which barred ordinary people owning even the few square metres of land on which the rural folk’s mud hovel stood. The whites did not want rural blacks to own any property for fear they would demand political rights next. Zanu PF is denying the rural people ownership of the land for the same selfish political reasons!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KtByp-o5HA
It is foolish to believe such idiotic lies as Chamisa's plugging all vote rigging loop holes when we all know Zanu PF's carte blanche powers to rig elections.
Indeed, only a brain dead idiot would believe in "winning RIGGED elections" because only some one whose only care is winning regardless how that is achieved would not comprehend this is the very essence of endless disputed elections because the losers will have cause to complain. Only an idiot would not cherish the rule of law and the holding of free and fair elections as a fundamental right and the foundation of democracy, good governance and stability.
After 44 years of rigged elections we must make a iron cast resolution to implement the reforms and end this madness of rigged and disputed elections!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LbeBb7nzDg
We cannot end corruption without first ending the curse of rigged elections and bad governance. Zimbabwe has failed to hold free, fair and credible elections sine the country's independence in 1980. 44 years and counting of rigged elections - we should all hang our heads in shame!
Stop the Chamisa chete chete brigade participating in flawed 2028 elections in their millions and we will deny Zanu PF political legitimacy and end this political circus!
@ Johntbepura
Have you ever heard of something called freedom of expression? Now you have heard of it and it means we all have a right to express ourselves freely. Who gives you the right to deny me the right to express myself freely? You should never ever try to impose the Zanu PF mentality of silencing all who dare to speak here!
@ Tafara
After 44 years of rigged elections and millions of Zimbabweans living in abject poverty reform and free and fair elections must and will remain on the national agenda until we cure ourselves of this curse. I do not expect a nincompoop like you to understand this any of this, of course! Indeed, the country would not be in such a mess if it was not for nincompoops like you.
The worst thing to happen in Zimbabwe was to give nincompoops like you the voice, on such platform like this to spread your nonsense. And, worst of all, gave you the vote, you are the ones voting in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy because you are easily conned. Last year you believed Chamisa’s idiotic lie that he plugged all the vote rigging loop holes.
There is a real danger you lot will be conned yet again to participate in flawed 2028 to perpetuate the dictatorship. I am here to knock some sense into your empty head. I have a sludge hammer for the job, I will knock some sense into the cup-cake! Watch this space!
@ Mazhou
Giving a village idiot like you the vote was as irresponsible as giving a monkey a loaded gun! If the electoral process is flawed, as is the case in Zimbabwe, then you should fix the process first. What is the point in participating in flawed, so flawed you know the result will never be the democratic wish of the people, and participating will only give vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy?
@ Pachedu Tafiranyika
“Sanctions come, destroy a country, people uprise and overthrow the government. This is how Rhodesia was defeated.
The logic is too simple for us to argue about.”
The UN imposed sanctions did not destroy Rhodesia’s economy but made it stronger. It was the war that forced Smith to give up power.
The Zimbabwe economy has all but collapse because of gross mismanagement and rampant corruption. The sanctions imposed by the West are nothing compared those imposed on Rhodesia, Zanu PF is using sanctions as a smoke screen to hide.
During the GNU of 2008 to 2013 the Zimbabwe economy rallied and grew by 12% in 2009 compared to the -ve 6% in 2008! The sanctions remained in place throughout the GNU years!

The court in Mozambique has ruled that FRELIMO won October 2024 elections sparking a new wave of violent street protests. There is evidence to prove that the elections were indeed NOT free, fair and credible. It is a crying shame that our own Zimbabwean government played a part in the vote rigging!
There is no excuse why Mozambique is failing to hold free, fair and credible elections 50 years after independence and in this day and age!
In Zimbabwe we have been participating in flawed elections, knowing Zanu PF was rigging and that participating will give Zanu PF legitimacy. We have participated because millions believed Chamisa's idiotic and oxymoronic lies of winning RIGGED elections!
https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1jMJgBXXwRkGL
It is sheer folly to keep participating in elections that are so flawed the logical step is to withdraw because you know participating will give vote rigging legitimacy and thus perpetuating one's own suffering.
However, participating also gives Chamisa and company a few gravy train seats, jackal's scraps at a lion kill. Chamisa and company have conned millions to participate in the flawed elections again and again in pursuit of these scraps.
Why millions have been so easily conned by a corrupt, incompetent and a liar so many times speaks volumes of our people's intellectual challenges!

Chamisa is not a demigod but rather a mere mortal and one with a track record of being corrupt and a liar. He and his MD/CCC friends brazen betrayal are one of the reasons why we are stuck in this hell-on-earth. The suggestion that Chamisa must not be held to democratic account is absurd!
@ Munyaradzi
If I remember correctly you supported participating in the flawed 2023 elections and have never had the guts to admit Chamisa lied and you were very foolish to have been so easily conned. Talk of being stuck, it is you who he stuck in your stupidity!
@ chukwuEbuka
"Kkkk you eat, drink and sleep thinking only about one person and that's Chamisa. I just wonder what your life would be if you were not writing about Chamisa."
One has to be really thick to believe Chamisa’s idiotic and oxymoronic lies but thicker still to deny Chamisa lied even now with the benefit of hindsight and the thickest are those who consider Chamisa a demigod who must not be held to account.
My task is to hammer the message home that Chamisa is corrupt, incompetent and a liar. Of course, he is a mere mortal and is accountable. The thicker the head the harder the hammering! By 2028 elections, even you will be repeating the message in your sleep!
This is a very simplistic analysis. Unemployment in Zimbabwe is a staggering 80% plus and been this high for decades now. So if 80% of the urbanites cannot afford to pay the council rates if is very foolish to expect the council to provide a five star service!
The blame for the country’s economic meltdown must be laid at Zanu PF’s door!
@ Mmusi Maimane
“If Cyril Ramaphosa and Ronald Lamola lend South African support to the Frelimo candidate Daniel Chapo we will repeat the mistakes of 2002 and 2008 in Zimbabwe and enable denial of democracy in Mozambique and accelerate the immigration crisis in South Africa.
A fire that burns next door is a domestic issue. A flood next door will eventually flood your yard. We must raise our voice to support the brave youth who are refusing to have yet another election manipulated in Mozambique.
We have taken a stand in Ukraine. We have taken a stand on Morocco. We have taken a stand in the Middle East. Why are we failing to take a stand in our own neighbourhood.
Why are we failing to match the rigour and moral fortitude when the lives affected are black children in Zimbabwe, Mozambique and eSwatini. We cannot roar overseas and mew in our own neighbourhood.
The BOSA leader urged the South African government to refrain from accepting the Mozambican election results as announced.
Some international election observers have raised concerns about the transparency of the polls. Said Maimane:
South Africa must stand with the people of Mozambique today. We must not repeat the mistakes we made in Zimbabwe. We must not rubber-stamp illegitimate elections.”
Hear, hear! It is a crying shame that 44 years after independence a country like Zimbabwe should still fail to hold free, fair and credible elections. 2 500 years after the ancient Greeks gave mankind democracy as the answer to how mankind should govern. We, all Africans, should hang our heads in shame whenever there are rigged elections on the continent because if bespeaks on all Africans!

Mozambique is burning, the protests resulting from the disputed 9 October elections ranges on. What is tragic here is the curse of rigged elections was totally avoidable!
This must be a wake-up call on the people of Mozambique and SADC to do something to ensure the problem of rigged elections is dealt with and never occur ever again in Mozambique or any other country in the region!
A local activist, Talent Rusere, was allegedly blindfolded and tortured following his arrest in connection with videos claiming that Zimbabweans voted in Mozambique's disputed October elections. Rusere, 32, appeared before a Harare magistrate's court on Christmas Eve after his arrest at the Plumtree Border Post, following his deportation from Botswana.
Rusere was remanded in custody by Harare Magistrate Rufaro Panavanhu, who scheduled a bail application for December 30. During his court appearance, the activist filed complaints detailing the mistreatment he endured, including being blindfolded and tortured after his arrest. He further claimed that he was driven to Harare overnight for his court appearance.
The activist faces charges of violating immigration laws and the Data Protection Act. Prosecutors allege that Rusere was living in Botswana without a valid passport and is of no fixed abode. They claim that Rusere left Zimbabwe without proper documentation, using an unidentified port of entry or exit, and that on December 23, 2024, he was deported from Botswana through the Plumtree border post.
How typical! The regime was involved in the vote rigging and now it is using force to silence everyone!
FORMER opposition Member of Parliament (MP) Fadzai Mahere has taken to X to caution exiled ex-Cabinet minister Jonathan Moyo against giving political advice as he is not just making comical noise but also failing to come back home.
Mahere’s backlash follows attempts by Moyo to chastise opposition figure Nelson Chamisa for having supporters, who believe the colonial era was way better than both President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s ‘new dispensation’ and his predecessor Robert Mugabe’s regime.

Moyo, who up until being snubbed by Mahere and colleagues then in the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), had been all cosy with the opposition officials, seemed to blast Chamisa for remaining mum as his supporters questioned the true independence of Zimbabwe while comparing how they were living and being treated to former Prime Minister Ian Smith’s colonial era.
“No political dividend will come out of it for you. None, whatsoever!” read part of Moyo’s statement that was widely believed to have been targeting Chamisa.
The issue was hot topic on social media over the festive season as Zimbabweans focused on the harsh economic climate the country finds itself in.
“If you are that ‘exiled’ political leader trying to bark instructions from a hole and tell people how they can attain power when you cannot even attain entry into the republic, no political dividend will come out of this for you. Never,” said Mahere in response.
“All you are is comical noise trying to attribute views of ordinary citizens to someone who is not responsible for them, who is minding their business and enjoying their holiday.
