"I have my two terms, and when the time comes, the country and the party will move on by electing my successor. I have said clearly that I have two terms, and these two terms are definite," reiterated Mnangagwa at the Press Conference yesterday.
"When they come to an end, I will step aside, and my party will elect my successor—that is as clear as day. Those who have other imaginations, we have a democratic society that allows them to dream.”
So Mnangagwa has given up his 2030 agenda because he is a DEMOCRATIC who respects the constitution! Yeah right! Since when?
Mnangagwa blatantly rigged the 2023. Both SADC and AU election observers condemning the election process as flawed and illegal and he dismissed them with the usual dismissive contempt.
Just a year after rigging the 2023 elections he was already scheming how to extend his illegitimate mandate. He coerced Zanu PF to pass the October 2024 party conference resolution that he should be allowed to stay office until 2030 to deliver vision 2030. The argument was that he was the only leader who could be trusted to pull the nation out of poverty into the upper middle income status in record time.
The give away was why was the resolution being passed so early in his second five-year term?
There was no evidence that Mnangagwa had done anything to revive the Zimbabwe economic in his first five year term. Indeed, the Zimbabwe economy has continued its nose-dive since Mnangagwa took over from Mugabe following the 2017 military coup.
Mnangagwa promised to stamped out corruption in 2017. Corruption has gone into overdrive instead.
Mnangagwa was cocksure his “Zimbabwe is open for business!” was going to open the flood gates of investors. Investors are shrewd lot, they were not fool by the musical chair of swapping one dictator for another; they knew the Zimbabwe was still a pariah state ruled by corrupt, incompetent and vote rigging thugs.
The 2024 party conference resolution for Mnangagwa to stay in power till 2030 was rushed through because Mnangagwa knew vision 2030 was a lead balloon that would never fly, a mirage. When the few businesses and shops left are closing, people can see patients with broken limbs stripped up in cardboard, potholes even in the country’s major roads, etc. even the blind can see vision 2030 is a mirage.
“I will step down in 2028 - that is as clear as day!” What is as clear as day is that vision 2030 is a lead balloon and since that was the justification for staying on till 2030, of course, you will step down in 2028!

ZDF, just like the Police, CIO, judiciary, etc. have been corrupted and turned into Zanu PF departments in all but name. ZDF sided with one faction in 2017 and the coup was not "justified, legal and constitutional" and it is not surprising that it failed to restore rule of law nor end the looting. History is repeating itself.
ZDF is once again taking sides in the factional war tearing Zanu PF apart. ZDF should stop pretending it is independent much less that it cares about rule of law and the people.

Mnangagwa assures us that he will not be persuaded to stay in office beyond 2028. His reason for staying in power beyond 2028 was to deliver vision 2030, deliver economic prosperity turning the nation from the impoverished nation into the upper middle income nation.
The economic reality shows Zimbabwe is sinking deeper and deeper into poverty, vision 2030 is a mirage. And so it is nonsensical he should stay beyond his fixed term to deliver a mirage. ED2030 is dead and buried. Thank God and now the nation can turn its attention to the many pressing issues.

Column of Army tanks driving in Harare City is deja vu November 2017. Of course, we saw this one coming; by blatantly rigging the 2023 elections Mnangagwa confirmed the ballot would not bring regime change and so the only other option was violence. The November 2017 coup itself had set a dangerous precedence!
Every thinking Zimbabweans must hang their heads in shame we have failed to put and end to the Zanu PF dictatorship, 45 years and counting and we still failing to govern ourselves! Shame!

In theory the war of independence was fought to end white colonial oppression by securing the freedoms and rights of all Zimbabweans. What happened in practice is the black nationalists leaders could not resist the temptation of assuming for themselves the same tyrannical powers the whites had enjoyed for themselves.
Gandhi and his fellow Indian nationalists asked themselves: What kind of leaders would an armed struggle throw up? We, in Zimbabwe have answered that. Our armed struggle throw up corrupt, incompetent and murderous thugs who believe they have the divine right to rule Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe is a failed state because it is a pariah state ruled by war veterans who believe they have the divine right to rule. We need to end this madness or the nation is doomed.

If Zimbabweans in the diaspora are the scum of the earth and those who have remained in the country are the creme de la creme then why is the country still sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss!

No matter how vicious the Zanu PF factional war gets neither faction will never ever allow the implementation of any meaningful democratic reforms. Both factions know that Zanu PF have enjoyed absolute political power these last 45 thanks to the carte blanche power given it by the dictatorship, they will never give up these dictatorial powers.
Zanu PF factions are like cobras fighting for dominance they will never bite each other. If they were fighting for survival they would bite!

So Derek Goto is Varakashi4ED director of operations.
"Chinamasa appointed Norman Mbimbi as the new administrator for the Varakashi4ED unit, with Dereck Goto taking on the role of director of operations. He also emphasized that he would continue to oversee the unit in his capacity as executive director."
God only knows how many other Varakashi4ED there are out there. The thing is Zanu PF is loaded, the party is collecting billions of dollars from all the wholesale looting taking place. We should have implemented the democratic reforms when we had the golden opportunity to do so during the 2008 to 2013 GNU, doing so now is really tough!
"Simbi inorohwa ichapisa!" as one would say in Shona. We wasted the golden opportunity and now we are paying dearly for it!

All Geza and his cronies cares about is absolute power and the wealth and influence that comes with it. They do not know that Zimbabwe is a failed state much less that they have played a pivotal role in this by imposing first Mugabe and then Mnangagwa all these last 45 years. They do not realise that imposing Chiwenga will only drag the nation even deeper into this hell-on-earth Zanu PF has landed us.
After 45 years of this corrupt and tyrannical dictatorship it should be clear the solution is dismantling the dictatorship itself. Only Geza and company are offering is swapping one dictator for another. How anyone with half a brain can be conned to view that as a solution beggars belief!
True but we should have the common sense to realise these swapping of one dictator for another is getting us nowhere. The only times they care about us, povo, is when they need our support to topple one dictator and as soon as that is done they discard us as used toilet paper.
The real questions here are: Are we smart enough to realise we are being used and abused? Are we smart enough to demand our right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country?
Mankind is a creature of reason, I realise that having the capacity to do something is one thing and actually doing it is another! Most adults have 1.5kg of brain but decades of mind-numbing inactivity have turned the brain tissue into fat.
What should be common sense is a mystery of mysteries whose brain activity is no more that a standby pilot LED! The mentally challenged have a panchent to repeat the same idiotic mistake over and over again because they never learn from the past. 45 years of rigged elections, swapping one dictator for another, etc.!

It is all very well for Blessed Geza to delay his signal to the people to go ,out in the street to demand the departure of Mnangagwa until he is certain of the people's safety. But even more important than the people's safety is guarantee of the destination of the protest.
If the end product of the protest is swapping one dictator for another then whole fatuous political scheme is designed to perpetuate the failed de facto one party system and must be dismissed with the contempt it deserves. After 45 years of the failed one party dictatorship we should be dismantling it and not coming up with excuses for reviving it!
@ George
"Come and be the president yourself, you have been barking a lot of lately, what do you want Zimbabwe and Zimbabweans to do? You are complaining about everything, everyone to you is not perfect, if you think you are better than all those people and you will make Zimbabwe better, come home and contest, your complaining doesn’t help us here, from sunrise to sunset just mentioning one thing, it’s so boring."
Why don’t you address the issues raised for a change. Whether or not swapping one dictator for another is a solution is a simple enough matter.
So why you are coming up with such idiotic demands as come back to Zimbabwe, etc., etc. Are you suggesting that only those in Zimbabwe today have the right to a meaningful say in the country? This is the kind of foolishness that has landed us into this mess and must be stamped out here and now!
@ George
“It seems you have a better solution for Zimbabwe and Zimbabweans, everyday you are complaining Mukori , people are tired of what is happening in Zim, and they are trying their best to come up with solutions which is suitable for them, especially those who are in Zimbabwe who are suffering each and everyday, if you are not on the ground you will never know anything, but iwewe day in and day out no solutions from you but complains only , it’s so boring sometimes, you better give people ideas who must be the president when the ZANU system is out , but to just complain without any solutions is pointless, you just enjoy to write long essays without any substance.”
Answer the question raised: Will swapping one dictator for another solve anything in Zimbabwe?
So your being on the ground is now your excuse for failing to answer the question?

All modern human beings are creatures of reason by virtue of our huge brain size, 1 500 cc compared with the 400 cc of the chimp. So why have some individuals/nations go on to accomplish such fit as landing man on the moon whilst "we fail to cross the street!" moaned Julius Nyerere, President of Tanzania in 1969.
What makes Nyerere stand head and shoulders above most African leaders then and now is that he had the intellect to define the problem and courage to admit it. Many leaders prefer to talk of their imaginary achievements, Vision 2030, and/or blame their failures on scapegoats!
Our failure to hold free, fair and credible elections in this day and age speaks volumes of our intellectual ability. We have 1 500 cc of brain matter but how much of it as ossified into fat due to decades of mind numbing intellectual inactivity. Instead of whole galaxy of brain activity there is but few pilot lamps!
We are not creatures of reason because we chose to life style of the the sloth! No wonder we are a failed state!
@ Kenneth Mufuka
“The land issue.
The point I am making is that once you open Pandora's box be prepared to find some really stinking stuff. Sir Garfield's complaint was that Mugabe had corrupted everybody.
We know, from divorce submissions that Bona Mugabe had 21 farms.
I can reveal that a saint in my church, a retired teacher, came home to the news that "Amai wanted his Mazowe farm.
The saint, died from shock. Whether ED should take all the blame, I am uncertain. Once we open the Pandora box, I am certain that we will find that "all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God."
According to the British Guardian, Mugabe and his wife (30 November 2010) own 14 farms. In addition, the Guardian article says that while the majority of resettled black farmers own on average 10 hectares, 40 percent of all captured white-owned land has been distributed among the chefs.”
Mnangagwa blatantly rigged the 2023, he paid judges a US$400 000 “housing loan” just a few weeks before nomination day and thus kickstarting the 2023 election. Everyone knew this was a bribe and the learned men and women received it accordingly.
Both SADC and AU elections observers have condemned the 2023 election process as flawed and illegal.
“Conclusion 13.3
The SEOM (SADC Election Observer Mission) noted that, as detailed in sections 6 and 7 of this report, some aspects of the Harmonised Elections fell short of the requirements of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, the Electoral Act, and the SADC Principles and Guidelines Governing Democratic Elections (2021),” stated the SEOM report.
It is curious to note not even one of Zimbabwe’s judges and magistrates found anything amiss in the conduct of the elections. There was no verified voters’ role, a legal requirement, but one none other Zimbabweans played including the judges considered important!
Yes, Mugabe corrupted every segment of Zimbabwe society and after 45 years, the rot runs deep and anyone who think it can be stamped out easily has no clue what he/she is talking about.
@ Geza
Nyokayemabhu dismissed the Rumors that war veteran and ZANUPF central committee member Blessed Geza accepted 5million so that he will abandon his mission. He stated that cde Geza was tempted with expensive cars, millions of dollars etc but he refused to betray the people of Zimbabwe.
Blessed Geza is a Zimbabwean war veteran and former CIO officer (secret service) who has been calling for President Mnangagwa’s departure for attempting to undermine the constitution and extend his term of office."
CIO are the most lawless operatives in the country and it laughable that a CIO operative should now be posturing as a democrat.
https://www.facebook.com/4415858595176450/videos/969548608122508
Zanu PF will never reform itself out of office. Blessed Geza and company are fighting for Chiwenga to take over from Mnangagwa. They are swapping one dictator for another, that will bring about no meaningful change just as the swapping of Mugabe for Mnangagwa in 2017 brought no change.
The people of Zimbabwe must be crystal clear they want the full restoration of the individual freedoms and rights including the right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country. They must not allow themselves to be conned by Geza &Co. into believing swapping one dictator for another will get the nation out of this hell-on-earth Zanu PF landed us into.
https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1vAxRDoqdARGl
Democracy demands that the people be educated, knowledgeable, and diligent in holding leaders to account. In Zimbabwe our people are ignorant, naive and gullible; so gullible they consider leaders demigods who can do no wrong. It is no surprise that Blessed Geza, a seasoned Zanu PF thug, is now Saint Geza!
@ Taona
“Wilbert, you are useless. Unongoshora you can't come up with any solution. Such behaviour inoitwa nemapenz.”
Yes of course, I am the fool for admitting that swapping Mugabe for Mnangagwa in 2017 did not produce any meaningful change. Swapping Mnangagwa for Chiwenga will be yet another wasted opportunity. And you are the wise one adamant the swapping of Mnangagwa with Chiwenga will deliver change and Zimbabweans will live in peace and prosperity happily ever after!
Thank God one of us has a working brain!
@Taona
“Get into politics tione zvaunokwanisa kuita. Mbwende yemunhu.”
So Chamisa is in politics and is not “Mbwende” like me. He has been a senior member of MDC/CCC for 25 years including the 5 years in the 2008 to 2013 GNU. Please name one token democratic change he has brought about in 25 years. Just one!
For the record, I am into politics big time! I am holding the sell-outs upstart like Chamisa to democratic account. It is driving some of his brain dead supporters like you insane; they believe Chamisa is a demigod and I am rubbing it in that he not just a mere mortal but a corrupt, incompetent and utterly useless MC!
What is making you blood boil is the fact that you cannot deny the mountain of evidence proving Chamisa is indeed corrupt, incompetent and utterly useless. And to crown it all, it is you who is the MC too; denying what everyone can see is true!
I will never ever be silence by a MC like you!
@ Mawema
“Wilbert you keep stating the same point and we get it. We are simply saying tipewo solution sevanhu vapererwa. Which horse should we back. Tivudzewo.”
I have said that people should not participate in flawed elections and demand reforms countless of times. Nearly two million Chamisa supporters participated in the 2023 elections and I believe there is two million Zimbabweans in the diaspora who supported that position.
The solution was clear enough- do not participate in the flawed elections. (From you line of asking you clearly failed to comprehend the solution or you would not ask “Which horse should we back?”)
If four million Zimbabweans participated in the 2023 elections then clearly the message did not get through and it must be repeated again and again until it goes through!
The very fact that you are concerned at the number of times the solution to ending the curse of rigged elections is repeated but, after 45 years of rigged elections, indifferent to yet another rigged election and the tragic consequences they bring; speaks volumes of your misplace priorities.
@ Munya
That is just stupid advice. There are village idiots who will continue to believe Chamisa’s idiotic lies and participate in flawed elections to perpetuate the nation’s suffering. It is important that these idiots are reminded of their folly.
It is my singular duty to remind the idiots like you, that they are brain dead and hence the reason the country is in this mess! The message must be hammered home and I have sludge hammer for the purpose!

Geza, Nyoka Yamabhunu and Co. are Zanu PF thugs through and through any one who expect this lot to implement any meaningful democratic changes is naive. Geza and company want to swap Mnangagwa for Chiwenga, a repeat of the of 2017 military coup.
How anyone can believe another swap of dictators will solve anything beggars belief!
https://www.facebook.com/4415858595176450/videos/368065336401582
Geza, Nyoka Yamabhunu and company are rabble-rousers who catch the people's attention by condemning the obvious failures and injustices. By offering to replace Mnangagwa with Chiwenga, swapping one dictator for another, they are not offering to change anything. As we already know, the swapping of Mugabe with Mnangagwa in 2017 did not change anything! We must not fall for that ever again.
Zimbabweans must ignore Geza's signal to go into the street to support the replacement of Mnangagwa with Chiwenga because it will change nothing of substance!

140 years ago the Europeans sat down to divide up Africa amongst themselves for the express purpose of exploiting and looting Africa's resources. Colonial rule has ended but exploitation has continued because we, Africans, are still lost in the mist of ignorance and primeval preoccupation of dominate or be dominated!
The Chinese, the modern day colonialists, are exploiting Zimbabwe using Zanu PF thugs as an afront! Zanu PF has managed to maintain its iron grip on power these last 45 years with the help of China at the price of the latter enjoying carte blanche power to loot the nation's resources.
