The people of Zimbabwe have risked livelihoods, limbs and even their lives (over 500 were murdered by Zanu PF during the 2008 presidential run-off alone) to elect MDC/CCC leaders not power on the understanding they would implement the necessary democratic changes, reforms, to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections. Morgan Tsvangirai and company named the party Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) when they it in 1999 to underline the primary purpose of the party was to deliver democratic changes.
Mnangagwa and Zanu PF blatantly rigged the 2023 elections and got away with it because MDC/CCC leaders have failed to implement even one token reform, particularly during the 2008 to 2013 GNU when they had the golden opportunity to do so. Ever since the GNU debacle, MDC/CCC leaders have participated in flawed elections knowing fully well that doing so would give legitimacy to Zanu PF. Still they went ahead regardless out of greed.
“The (2013) 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.
Robert Mugabe bribed Tsvangirai and company with the trappings of high office; the E-Class Mercedes Benz ministerial limos, the very generous salaries and allowances, the US$ 4 million Highlands mansion for Tsvangirai himself, etc., etc. With their snouts in the feeding trough, the MDC leaders forgot about the reforms; that made sense.
“Mazivanhu eMDC adzidza kudya anyerere!” boasted the Zanu PF cronies when asked why MDC leaders were not implementing the democratic reforms during the GNU.
Greed has certainly played a major party in MDC/CCC leaders’ failure to implement even one reform in 25 years and keeping Zanu PF in power. Indeed, there is more than anecdotal evidence to prove MDC/CCC are Zanu PF team B, playing for team A to win and have legitimacy.
Still, it must be said that MDC/CCC leaders’ share of the spoils of power are nothing more jackal’s scraps at a lion’s kill. So one has to ask why they have settled for be junior partners when they could have implemented the reforms and be the ruling party in their own right?
Answer: MDC/CCC leaders are not just greedy but more significantly they are breathtakingly incompetent. Nelson Chamisa has provided more evidence of his own incompetence in his own words.
“THIS IS MY STORY…When I have served my purpose and I’m long done and gone, after this earthly sojourn, I desire future generations to always remember and be inspired by our example of unrivalled resilience and unparalleled consistency in the midst of unmerited opposition, unwarranted persecution and undeserved attacks,” boasted Nelson Chamisa is his latest X posting.
“We have not lost focus on the ultimate goal- to fully transform our society and its culture unto dignity, national pride, inclusion and prosperity. We have resisted shortcuts, and the cutting of corners. We have avoided easy exits or false answers.
“We have turned down and warded off bribes and sweeteners. We have refused the lure of trinkets and trappings of power and all these enticing power fringe benefits and worldly pleasures. Standing firm unto the end. All for God’s glory. That is our story!
“We thank #Godisinit for the continuing, providence, guidance and protection in this otherwise wicked, vile and dangerous world! Always and forever. nc.”
What the hell is Nelson Chamisa wittering about, one might well ask? MDC leaders failed to implement even one token reform in five years of the GNU because Mugabe “lured them with trinkets and trappings of power”, the very things Chamisa is denying.
The truth is Nelson Chamisa and many of his follow MDC/CCC leaders had no clue what the democratic changes the nation has been dying for were much less how they were to be implemented. Even now with the benefit of hindsight and a mountain of evidence and explanations of why Zimbabwe is a failed state because MDC/CCC blatant betrayals; Chamisa still has no clue what is going on.
Chamisa lied about plugging vote rigging loop holes to con his supporters to participate in the flawed 2023 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy. And yet he continues to deny he lied - deny a self evident and simple historic fact!
The MDC/CCC supporters have remained loyal to the party leaders; they have gained nothing from the wasted opportunity to implement reforms and from participating in these flawed 2023 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate their own suffering. They were warned, repeatedly too, of the sheer folly of participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate their own suffering. They never listened. Why?
MDC/CCC supporters are notoriously ignorant, naive and gullible. Chamisa had no problem conning his supporters to participate in flawed 2023 elections on the basis of the idiotic lie that Chamisa plugged all the vote rigging loop holes.
So the MDC/CCC supporters have gave up their fundamental right to free, fair and credible elections for the dubious oxymoron of winning RIGGED elections. How nauseating!
“Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again expecting a different result,” remarked the great Physicist Albert Einstein.
The insane do not self diagnose, they lack the intellect to comprehend the repeated results. Still, after 45 years of rigged elections one would think that the penny had finally dropped by now of the sheer insanity of participating in these flawed elections. Alas, that is not so!
There is a real danger that Chamisa will con CCC supporters to participate in flawed 2028 to give Zanu PF legitimacy and thus perpetuate the dictatorship and the nation’s suffering. Ignorance is a curse worse than death!
If we do not stop Chamisa from conning his supporters to participate in the flawed 2028 elections, they will participate in their millions as before giving Zanu PF legitimacy. How do we stop these MDC/CCC supporters from participating given they are brain dead. Well, that is the challenge!

Very true. Zimbabwe's economy has a very low starting base line and so has the potential for greater growth than that of a more prosperous nation. We saw ths in 2009 during the GNU when the economy grew by 12% compared to the -ve 6% the previous year.
https://bulawayo24.com/index-id-opinion-sc-columnist-byo-249804.html
The people of Zimbabwe are caught between the rock and a hard place!
The nation's hopes of ending the Zanu PF dictatorship by implementing the democratic changes to ensure free and fair elections have been dashed by MDC/CCC leaders who have sold out on implementing reforms. Chamisa has been conning the people to participate in flawed elections to perpetuate the dictatorship out of greed and incompetence and yet has the insolence to claim he and his friends have never sold out.
Meanwhile Mnangagwa blatantly rigged the elections, both SADC and AU condemned the process as flawed and illegal, and he has the audacity to dismiss their reports with contempt. The tyrant is now working hard to amend the constitution and strip Zimbabweans of the right to elections. Of course, he will rig the referendum to get what he wants just as Zanu PF has rigged elections since the country's independence in 1980.
@ Nomazulu Thata
“To say Welshman Ncube is better than Chamisa is tantamount to saying Mnangagwa is better than Chiwenga. All these politicians both in power and those in the opposition must leave the political platforms and the people will craft a better political, economic, and social trajectory and clean the mess. Both Ncube and Chamisa were in the trenches for a quarter of a century. It is a joke if not an insult to still think Ncube can rescue this nation, a pit-latrine political and economic mess. What change can Ncube give if he is failing his legal profession?”
When the MDC leaders failed to implement even one token reform during the 2008 to 2013 GNU the die was cast, they proved that they were corrupt, incompetent and utterly useless. The tragedy for the country was that Zimbabweans were very slow to realise MDC/CCC leaders were Zanu PF team B in all but name. The penny has dropped in the heads of many but there are still millions out there who still continue to follow MDC/CCC leaders blindly.
The ancient Greeks were right that democracy only works if the people are educated, knowledgeable, objective and diligent in their duty to hold leaders to account. Millions of Zimbabweans have the tribesman mentality in which the loyalty to the tribe and leader trumps loyalty to truth and facts. Chamisa has conned Zimbabweans to believe idiotic lies because of their personality cult mentality they consider him a demigod.
As long as millions of Zimbabweans remain ignorant, naive and gullible the refresh political start you are proposing will not be possible!
@ Washvvone
The 2018 and 2023 elections were not free, fair and credible, both SADC and AU condemned the latter. What is there to suggest that Mnangagwa will change and finally allow the people to have a free vote in the referendum? Mnangagwa will be counting on Chamisa and company to con millions of Zimbabweans to participate in the flawed and illegal referendum process just as he has done with flawed elections!
@ Gugugu Magorira
“Both Emmerson Mnangagwa and Nelson Chamisa are not capable of taking this country forward and their business partnerships have been boggling minds of many CCC supporters.
They both want the Matebeleland vote but both have a history of imposing Shona or Karanga candidates in Matebeleland.
We remain grateful to the leaders who did not abandon the ship when Zanu pf attempted to sink it in broad daylight.
The Citizens Coalition for Change will live forever and I don't think it needs Nelson Chamisa to come back when considering that the party now has what the doctor ordered.
We felt betrayed by Chamisa at the time of need and that mistake of trusting a chameleon should not be repeated again whether he comes back with a blue or black political party. Those waiting for such a party linked to Zanu PF can wait as we go forward. Nelson Chamisa is not in opposition politics to remove Emmerson Mnangangagwa whom he is related to.”
The truth is the MDC ship sunk at the end of the 2008 to 2013 GNU when the party failed to implement even one token reform. Mugabe bribed Tsvangirai and company with the trappings of high office and they forgot about implementing the democratic reforms. How anyone still expected any good from any of the MDC leaders beggars belief!
@ Gachange
“2030 is unstoppable!
I firmly behind President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa.”
Mnangagwa rigged the 2023 elections he is illegitimate. He only got away with it because Chamisa and company participated in the flawed elections and conned millions to do the same on the basis of an idiotic lie that CCC would win RIGGED elections. Of course, Chamisa lied and he has since lost political credibility. Mnangagwa knows that he cannot count on Chamisa to participate in a flawed election or referendum to give the regime legitimacy.
The number one focus is on making sure Chamisa does not con the people to participate in the 2028 elections or referendum if it should be called before 2028 to give Zanu PF legitimacy. Bring it on! If Mnangagwa feared failing to get legitimacy in the rigged 2028 elections he should know getting legitimacy for stripping Zimbabweans the right to vote will be even tougher!
@ Zviko
“More than 2 years ne comment 1 tsvagawo dzimwe nyaya.”
Zimbabwe is a failed state and all because we have failed to hold free and fair elections ever since the country’s independence 45 years ago. I have put reforms on the national agenda because it is the only solution to end this curse of rigged elections and bad governance.
So you want reforms dropped for no other reason than that it has been on the agenda for 2 years. The fact that Zanu PF has rigged elections for 45 years and counting causing tragic human suffering is water off a duck’s back to you! Thank God one of us has some working brain here!
Democratic reforms are on the national agenda and there they will remain until we have free, fair and credible elections. And remember nincompoops like you do not set the nation’s agenda!
Ziyambi emphasized that once resolutions are adopted, each ministry will take up issues raised with respect to their respective portfolios. He noted that the Secretary-General will communicate with ministries regarding the resolutions, prompting necessary legislative interventions if needed.
"The constitutional amendment will follow the relevant processes," he stated, confirming that it will require two referenda to be completed. Ziyambi explained the steps involved, starting with the formulation of principles by Cabinet, drafting the Bill, conducting nationwide consultations, and ultimately presenting it before Parliament for gazetting.
Ziyambi further asserted that the process will reflect the will of the people, stating, "The grassroots are the ones that indicate issues they want to be dealt with at the conference. These are then discussed at district and provincial levels, leading up to consolidated conference resolutions. These then inform policy issues regarding the way forward.”
Zanu PF blatantly rigged the 2023 elections and will, no doubt, rig the two referendums too. No Zimbabwean in his/her right mind would ever want to be stripped of their fundamental right to hold leaders to account. No one!
https://bulawayo24.com/index-id-opinion-sc-columnist-byo-249852.html
One of the great tragedies of Zimbabwe is that we have become a nation stuck in a rut, like the old gramophone record repeating the same track over and over again.
The war of independence was a fight to end the oppression and exploitation of blacks and restore all their human freedoms and dignity. Blacks were human beings, members of the human race and therefore entitled to all the freedoms and human rights as stipulated in the UN Universal Human Rights Declaration. Of course, it is infuriating black Zimbabweans have never ever exercised their right to a meaningful, free and fair vote. Never ever! Because ever since the country's independence, Zanu PF has rigged elections!
Mnangagwa rigged the 2023 elections. Both SAD and AU have condemned the election process as flawed and illegal. Mnangagwa has dismissed their reports with his usual contempt.
Mnangagwa knows that no Zimbabwean in his/her right mind would ever vote yes to the postponement of 2028 elections. He intends to rig the process just as he had rig elections these last 45 years.
Hundreds of thousands of blacks have died in the fight for "One man, one vote!" Now a black regime is playing the ultimate sick joke on all blacks - rig the elections and claim Zimbabweans did not want the right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country. THE TURKEYS HAVE VOTED FOR CHRISTMAS!
@ Mbofana
“President Emmerson Mnangagwa's maneuvers to amend Zimbabwe's constitution and extend his stay in office beyond the constitutionally mandated two five-year terms have left many Zimbabweans perplexed.
Why would an 82-year-old man, already nearing the twilight of his life and political career, desperately cling to power for an additional two years?
What is so special about stretching his presidency from 2028 to 2030 that he, along with his ruling ZANU-PF party, is prepared to sideline matters of national importance to achieve this ambition?
In a country grappling with severe socio-economic challenges, this obsession with a mere 24-month extension is not only incomprehensible but also infuriating.
Zimbabweans are enduring the collapse of vital public services.”
The two more years is the thin end of a very thick wedge. One the constitutional clause has been amended to allow the politicians to postpone elections; the gene will be out of the bottle and will never be put back. There will be nothing to stop parliament postponing elections by 5 years, 10 years or even for an indefinitely.
Zimbabwe is a failed state precisely because the nation has been stuck with a corrupt, incompetent regime for 45 years now because Zanu PF rigged the elections. The people have fought hard to stop the regime rigging the elections and it is true that Mnangagwa was worried that he was not going to get away with the rigged 2023 elections especially after SADC’s damning election report.
So even though Zanu PF rigged elections the nations has had so influence. If the people should give up the vote by voting yes to the constitutional amendment then the people will have lost all the political vestiges of control over the politicians. Of course, that would be stupid. Turkeys do not vote for Christmas knowing they will on the menu! Zimbabweans are stupid but not Turkeys voting for Xmas stupid!
Mnangagwa rigged the 2023 elections, even SADC and AU condemned the process as flawed and illegal, and now he wants to say the people are “crying for him to stay beyond the stolen mandate of 2028”!
Of course, he will rig the referendum and claim the turkeys voted for Christmas! Hundreds of thousands of Zimbabweans have died for “one man, one vote!” and now the tyrant is taking that away and claim that is what the nation wants. The nation is being forced to fight for freedom and basic rights including “One man. one vote!” all over again.
No wonder we are a failed state, 45 years after independence and we are still fighting for the same thing - “One man, one vote!” And the buffoon and his Zanu PF thugs even have the audacity to call himself the nation's liberators; mercenaries masquerading as heroes!
@ Pachedu
Zanu PF rigged the 2023 elections, even SADC and AU condemned the process as flawed and illegal. The regime does not have the mandate of the people of Zimbabwe to govern much less to extend the stolen mandate by changing the constitution. The regime rigged the 2023 elections and will likewise rig the referendum.
The right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country is a fundamental right and a key requirement for good governance. Many Zimbabwe have died fighting for “One man, one vote!” It is sickening that Zanu PF has never ever held free, fair and credible elections in 45 years and counting. And now the regime wants to commit the cardinal sin and completely strip the people of “One man, one vote!”
We are back to the white colonial era when blacks had no vote. And the Zanu PF buffoons have the audacity to pretend this is what the people want. As far as the regime is concerned Zimbabweans are as dumb and stupid as turkeys voting for Christmas!

The Mnangagwa 2030 bandwagon in gathering momentum. Who would dare oppose the tyrant! The question is what should people do?
Mnangagwa blatantly rigged 2023 elections and he will likewise rig referendums to postpone 2028. SADC and AU both condemned the 2023 elections of course they would not want people to participate in an elections process they KNOW is "so flawed, so illegal the logical step is to withdraw" especially when participating will give Zanu PF legitimacy.
Chamisa & Co. con the people to participate out of greed. Zimbabweans so not be so easily on.
No thinking Zimbabwean should participate in the flawed and illegal referendum. Let it not be said Zimbabweans voted to deny themselves the right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country - the stupid turkey that voting for Christmas!

President Donald Trump is here and already he is making waves compared with some people (no names - zvinemuto ndozvieyi) who are threatening to corrupt the constitution on the grounds they need more time to makes waves. They have been in power for 45 years already and in 2028 it will be 48 years!
President Trump's inward looking, America First, will force countries like Zimbabwe to introspect and ask ourselves why we are a failed state blundering from pillar to post.The new Trump world will be less patient with those who are wasteful and corrupt. We have had decades to end the Zanu PF dictatorship and wasted every opportunity to do so.
@ Munya
“Indeed Zanu will rig any democratic process to their favour. They lost the last referendum in 2000 and will make sure they rig the next. But what can be done to stop the rigging?”
The best opportunity to “stop the rigging” was to implement the reforms and the best time to have done that was during the 2008 to 2013 GNU. If MD/CCC leaders failed to implement even one token reforms during the GNU it is naive to expect them to do so now!
People did not participate in 2023 elections because the Chamisa & Co. had figured how to “stop Zanu PF rigging the elections”! Chamisa assured the nation he had “plugged all the vote rigging loop holes. #Godisinit!” It was an idiotic lie and, unfortunately, millions believed him. This was not the first time MDC/CCC leaders conned the nation to participate in flawed elections out of greed; this has become the political norm.
I am surprised therefore you are asking what can be done to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections. The obvious question is: What can be done to stop Chamisa & Co. conning the people to participate in the flawed and illegal process to give Zanu PF legitimacy?
ANSWER: Zimbabweans must stop being so ignorant, naive and gullible they believe idiotic lies like Chamisa plugging vote rigging loop holes and be conned into participating in flawed voting processes again and again.
SADC and AU condemned 2023 election process, we all know that not even one token reforms has been implemented since August 2023. Of course, SADC and AU will not expect Zimbabweans to participate in a voting system they know and have condemned as flawed. If Zimbabweans do NOT participate in the flawed voting both SADC and AU will NOT give Zanu PF legitimacy.
The real challenge here, as in the past, is stopping the brain dead Chamisa chete chete brigade participating in the flawed process in their millions as happened in the past. One cannot reason with that lot - they are brain dead!
@ Siyabangena
“Ok ever thought of other small Zanu n cio parties participating to give legitimacy should chamisa boycott.
Recently you saw opposition at the farm was Chamisa and other progressive opposition luminaries there?”
So it is ok to keep participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the dictatorship just because if ‘Chamisa boycotted the elections other small Zanu and IO parties would participate and give Zanu PF legitimacy”! By the way this was NOT the reason why Chamisa has been participating i these flawed elections.
He believe the opposition would win rigged elections. “I have plugged all the vote rigging loop holes. #Godisinit!” he said. Of course, he was lying and knew it. He did not even do the common sense thing of deploying election agents at all the Polling Stations even though he had the money for it! Why?
Chamisa & Co. sold out during the GNU by failing to implement even one token reform even when they had the chance to do so. Ever since the GNU they have participated in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy for the sake of a few gravy train seats reward.
MDC/CCC leaders are Zanu PF team B in all but name, playing for team A to win and get legitimacy!
Just because Chamisa and a few others were not at Mnangagwa’s farm last week it does not mean they are not sell out!
https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1ynKODDwyYkGR
The land issue was one of the burning issues in the nation's fight to end white colonial oppression. It is an outrage that Zanu PF's land redistribution has benefited the ruling elite and their cronies at the expense of the majority. Zanu PF has denied the rural people title deeds to land for the same selfish reason the whites denied them title deeds.
Mnangagwa has granted the Zanu PF ruling elite title deeds to their multiple farms. The farms were seized from the white farms and they paid not a penny and now they can sell the farms for huge fortunes.
If the land issue was a burning issue before independence, it is still a burning issue today because, other than for the ruling elite, nothing has changed. All that happened in 1980 was we swapped one set of oppressors for another!

We have been here before with you defending the indefensible!
Chamisa & Co. were elected in to power these last 25 years for the primary purpose to implement the democratic reforms. Chamisa lied about plugging vote rigging loop holes to stop Zanu PF rigging the 2023 elections to con people to participate in flawed elections. These are very specific issues for which he must account.
You argument that Chamisa should not be held to account for MDC leaders’ failure to implement even one reform during the GNU because “Zanu PF had all the key ministries” is nonsense. Any MP, Senator, minister, etc. could submit the reform proposal on any area. MDC leaders failed to submit even one reform in 5 years of the GNU because Mugabe bribed them with the trappings of high office.
“Mazivanhu eMDC adzidza kudya anyerere!” boasted Zanu PF cronies during the GNU when they were asked why MDC leaders were not implementing any reforms.
You have stubbornly refused to admit that Chamisa lied about plugging vote rigging loop holes because you do not want to admit you believed the idiotic lie!
You cannot bear to admit that Chamisa is corrupt, incompetent and a liar; to you he is a demigod who can do no wrong. There is a real danger that Chamisa will con village idiots like you to participate in the 2028 elections giving Zanu PF legitimacy and thus perpetuating the dictatorship. This must and will be stopped by exposing you for the village idiots you are who believe idiotic lies and believe Chamisa is a demigod.
How anyone can consider Chamisa a demigod in this day and age speaks volumes of how foolish you are, Big Fish.

Zimbabwe is a failed state because we have allowed Zanu PF to rig elections and thus short changing our right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country. The regime is now planning to strip us even the little vestige of people's power we have in rigged elections by the regime assuming the power to postpone elections willy-nilly.
If Zanu PF amend the constitution to grant parliament power to postpone 2028 elections we, the people, will have lost power to hold leaders to account not just for 2028 but for all times!
The only sure way to stop Zanu PF robbing us our right to a meaningful vote is by refusing to participate in the flawed and illegal process. We have participated in flawed processes to give Zanu PF legitimacy in the past, we must not make that mistake ever again.
Chamisa has conned millions to participate in the past, he is certain to do so again. We must educate his brain dead supporters to make sure they are not so easily conned.
@ Rutendo Matinyarare
“Zimbabwe was under illegal western sanctions imposed to force people to vote for the opposition. That was how elections were rigged for the opposition. Those elections were unfair and free, rigged for the opposition, ab initio.”
Zanu PF frog marched the rural voters to vote for Zanu PF, Mnangagwa is on record boasting of it. What wrong have the rural voters done? What have they got to do with the sanctions?
Zanu PF has rigged elections ever since Zimbabwe’s independence in 1980. What sanctions was the country under then?
Zanu PF murdered over 20 000 innocent Zimbabweans in the Gukurahundi massacre to fore PF Zapu to sign the 1987 Unity Accord and pave the way for the imposition of the de facto one party dictatorship the has remained to this day. Are you going to blame that on sanctions too?
You are just a shameless Zanu PF apologists who has denied fellow Zimbabweans’ tragic suffering and tyrannical oppression by the regime in the name of patriotism and for selfish gain. It is a great pity that Zimbabwe has heartless sell-outs like you. The nation would have been better off if scum like you were never born!
@ Rutendo
Zanu PF murdered 20 000 innocent Zimbabweans in 1983 to 1987 to force PF Zapu to sign the Unity Accord and clear the way for the imposition of the de facto one party state that has ruled the country to this day. Was Zimbabwe under any sanctions then? Zanu PF has murdered over 40 000 to create and maintain the de facto one party-state and only a twat like you can ever justify the cold-blooded murders of our own people on the grounds the imposed sanctions. What do these innocent souls have to do with the sanctions?
@ Rutendo
"South African apartheid sanctions on Zimbabwe 1980-1992. We also fought two wars instigated by South Africans."
So Zanu PF murdered 20 000 in 1983 to 1987 because “there were SA apartheid sanction on Zimbabwe”. PF Zapu signed the Unity Accord and the cold-blooded murders stopped and yet admit the SA apartheid sanctions were still in place until 1992!
As I said Zimbabwe would be a better nation without murderous buffoons like Mugabe and Mnangagwa and sum like you defending the buffoons!
https://www.facebook.com/4415858595176450/videos/1749153835880243
Only a sick man like Chief Svosve can still defend MDC/CCC leaders' blatant betrayal in failing to implement the democratic reforms to restore the people's freedoms and rights including the right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country on the grounds people enjoyed rigged elections as "last vestiges of people power".
Zimbabwe is a failed state because scum like him, Chief Svosve, buffoons like Mnangagwa and sell outs like Chamisa have a voice, vote and have wielded a lot of political power. If the Constitution is amended the people will lose the last vestige of people's power and , no doubt Chief Svosve, will expect the nation to be forever grateful to Tsvangirai & Co. for their part in the treasonous betrayal!
@ Rutendo
“The Catholic commission report says 1439 people were killed on all sides in 6 years of war. Why lie? Do you think you are debating with your literate opposition members to tell lies like that. The same report said 20 000 was propaganda by ZIPRA.
You don’t read, you illiterates.”
I will accept your figure that “1 439 people were killed on all sides in 6 years of war”. Do you accept that the “war” was politically motivated to force PF Zapu to sign the Unity Accord and thus pave the way for the imposition of the de facto one-party dictatorship? You explanation that the war was in any way related to “1980 to 1992 SA apartheid sanctions” is nonsense since by your own admission the war ended in 1987 with the signing of the Unity Accord.
Your cold indifference to the suffering and deaths of fellow Zimbabweans because of Zanu PF misrule is what makes you scum of the earth. These men, women and children are your fellow Zimbabweans for Pete’s sake!

Professor Madhuku is condemning Mnangagwa for tampering with the constitution to extend his stay in power. The condemnation is welcome but is it genuine. Madhuku has participated in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy out of greed. Of course, he knew Mnangagwa was violating the constitution in rigging the elections.
Indeed, to join POLAD he had to publicly endorse the 2018 elections as free, fair and credible when he knew otherwise.
If Madhuku has had his "Road to Damascas" moment and his democratic values have been awakened then he will NOT participate in the flawed and illegal referendum we all know Zanu PF will rig and that participating will give the process legitimacy. If he participates then we will know he will have received his "housing loan" from Mnangagwa!

Yes, USA President Trump's executive order taking America out of the WHO will hit Zimbabwe very hard given our dependence aid from WHO and other donors born out of our failure to end the criminal waste of the nation's human and material resources.

True blind allegiance to leaders is a serious weakness indeed. Both Zanu PF and MDC/CCC supporters are equally guilty of it. We would not be in this mess if Chamisa supporters had not believed his idiotic lie of plugging all vote rigging loop hole and participated in the flawed 2023 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy.
The idiots from the two sides of the political divide love pontificating about the the other side’s folly and calling them idiots without ever looking in the mirror. Both Zanu PF and the opposition have profited from having the pool of idiots they can con again and again to do their dirty bidding.
@ Rutendo
“Justified war. We can’t brook terrorism on the pretext we are trying to be a united country with foreign sponsored terrorists.”
Zanu PF carried out the Gukurahundi massare for the purposes of forcing PF Zapu to sign the Unity Accord to pave the way for the imposition of the de facto one-party dictatorship that has ruled the country to this day.
When it was clear that Zanu PF was losing the Math 2008 vote, the nearest the nation has come to holding free and fair elections, Mnangagwa launched Operation Mavhotera Papi to punish the people for daring to reject Zanu PF. Millions were internally displaced, hundreds of thousands were beaten and/or raped and over 500 were murdered.
“What was won by the bullet cannot be changed by the ballot!” thundered Mugabe at the peak of Operation Mavhotera Papi.
Zanu PF has never ever allowed Zimbabweans to exercise their right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country because the party thugs believed they have the divine right to rule the country. Scum like you have always tries to justify Zanu PF tyrannical oppressions with all manner of feeble idiotic excuses; sanctions, foreign sponsored terrorists, etc.
“Justify war!” The overwhelming majority of Gukurahundi victims were unarmed civilians. In Operation Mavhotera Papi, who was the enemy the regime and its operatives were fighting? You real are the scum of the earth and Zimbabwe would have been a better place if you like were never born!

Zanu PF apologists and idiots are celebrating the news "Americans are proposing amending their constitution to allow President Trump a third term!" The Zanu PF goofs are forgetting American leaders must always win majority is a free, fair and credible election process. America have a 250 year old tradition of holding free, fair and credible elections.
Zimbabweans added the two term limit out of desperation, they could not get Mugabe out of office for 37 years because he rigged elections. Mnangagwa rigged 2018 and 2023 elections and now the tyrant want to amend the constitution to extend his stay in office without even giving the people a vote!
Zimbabwe has failed to hold free, fair and credible elections in 45 years and counting and the term limit is the people's only hope to force the dictators out. We must not allow Mnangagwa to take that away from us.
