The official opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) parliamentary caucus held a formal briefing at Parliament yesterday, attended by 38 Members of Parliament, with 11 others sending apologies, bringing the total number of MPs affirming the caucus to 49. This is according to an attendance register released by the caucus leadership.
Several MPs who did not attend were reportedly deployed on legislative duties across various provinces, participating in at least three active parliamentary committees.
The official caucus meeting, convened under the CCC's recognized parliamentary leadership, appeared to rattle the Jameson Timba-led Citizen National Assembly (CNA) faction, which is widely seen as fronting the political interests of former party president Nelson Chamisa. In response, the CNA-aligned group hastily arranged a rival gathering at a private residence on Cheshire Road in Mount Pleasant, Harare.
This splinter group branded their meeting as a "progressive caucus," borrowing a term commonly used in South African opposition politics. However, there is no such structure officially recognized in Zimbabwe's Parliament, and no party formally registered under the name CNA.”
Chamisa and his CCC cronies participated in the 2023 elections knowing fully well that Zanu PF was rigging and that participating would give Zanu PF legitimacy. The went ahead regardless, out of greed.
Even when both SADC and AU condemned the elections process as flawed and illegal the winning CCC members insisted on taking up their gravy train seats.SADC could not deny Zanu PF legitimacy given the CCC leaders’ reaction and the millions of Zimbabweans participated in the elections.
Some of the winning Chamisa backed CCC leaders lost their gravy train seats to the Sengezo Tshabangu CCC faction within weeks of taking the seats. The two factions have been fighting each other over dominance ever since. As to which faction wins it is a matter of indifference since they participated in the 2023 elections out of greed and their continued presence in government is giving this illegitimate regime some modicum of legitimacy.
Both the Jameson Timba and Tshabangu led CCC factions are sell outs only those who have no clue what is going on here think one faction is better than the other. What matters is they have both played their part in participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy. And, worst of all, they are both set to continue selling out in future!
Chamisa conned millions of the party's brain dead followers to participate telling them he "had plugged all the Zanu PF vote rigging loop holes. #Godisinit!” They believed the idiotic lie. Having an ignorant and gullible electorate that is so easily conned to do stupid things has been one of Zimbabwe’s curses!
This Zanu PF regime has not implemented even one token democratic reform since the rigged 2023 nor is it likely to implement any reform before the next elections in 2028. And so we are heading for yet another rigged elections with the usual opposition leaders participating to give Zanu PF legitimacy out of greed. Our only hope of putting an end to this madness is making sure the brain dead opposition supporters are not conned again to participate. Easier said than done, give the followers are, indeed, brain dead!

Part 1 of 2
A SPECIAL CALL FROM THE DIASPORA…Today, I received a call that touched my heart deeply.
It was from a senior citizen, in her 80s who is a Zimbabwean but resides in the UK. For some reason she has to search high and low to get my number.
I will respectfully refer to her as Mama Nobuhle. I’m not sure how she got my number, but from the moment she said “hello,” I felt compelled to stop and listen. Her voice carried wisdom, love, and decades of watching Zimbabwe’s story unfold.
“Mntanami,” she said, “I’ve followed your journey from the very beginning. I’ve believed in your leadership from day one.”
Mama Nobuhle is based in the UK. She has a heart and kidney condition, and she shared with me how the healthcare system in the UK has been of immense help — how a Patient Care Ambulance comes to pick her up a few times a week for her appointments and treatments, how she receives suitable care and support, all this to give her dignity and respect in her twilight years.
But despite this care, her heart longs to return to her country of birth-the motherland Zimbabwe. And this is the story and aspiration of every other Zimbabwean in the diaspora.
She said, “The desire is always to return home. But how can I? There are no functioning hospitals, no access to proper medicines, and for someone in my condition, even electricity is crucial — yet it’s not accessible.”
And then she said something that truly moved me:
“I believe with all my heart that one day I will return to a Zimbabwe where you are leading us into a new dawn — a Zimbabwe where everything will change for the good and for everyone.”
She spoke with pain and truth.
“Scarf man, KT, WC and all who are pillaging national resources have killed and destroyed our country-Zimbabwe,” she said. “I knew KT as a young man in Gweru. He was under the care of Pastor Bhebhe because he came from a very poor background. And to this day, there’s never been any clarity on how he made his money.”
She said what they have done to the country makes her so angry that wishes they could one day be thrown into jail for a long time
She pleaded with me — “Please, don’t tell me you’ll leave politics. I know in my heart it is you whom we the people want to lead us. And I know that you will one day lead Zimbabwe.”
I was deeply moved. The palpable hope in her voice — you could feel it, touch it. It reminded me that even those in the diaspora, even those who have settled abroad, carry a living hope to return home one day. In fact, Zimbabweans are among the most hopeful diaspora communities globally many still dream of a day they can go back home.
It is these types of encounter that really make me so duty bound to make change happen in Zimbabwe. This is the wind beneath my wings. It adds fire in the belly in my fight for a functioning Zimbabwe. Things have to change in our country. There has to be real change.
To Mama Nobuhle, and to every Zimbabwean — at home and abroad who solidly believe in a free and better Zimbabwe:
I assure you now, as I assured her, I am clear on what must be done. It is not lost on me.
What must be done, will be done.
And by God’s grace — it shall be done without delay. Keep strong. Happiness is coming back to Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 Fellow Zimbabweans we shall be #HappySoon #HappyAgain #Godisinit

What must be done, will be done.
And by God’s grace — it shall be done without delay. Keep strong. Happiness is coming back to Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 Fellow Zimbabweans we shall be #HappySoon #HappyAgain #Godisinit
The tragic reality is the old lady does not know that it is the treasonous betrayal of you, Chamisa, and your MDC/CCC cronies that have kept Scarfman and his Zanu Pf thugs in power these last 25 years.
The people have risked all to elect you lot to implement the democratic changes to stop Zanu Pf rigging elections. You have failed to implement even one reform in 25 years including 5 GNU years.
Scarfman blatantly rigged 2023 elections and got away with it thanks to you, Chamisa. You lied that Zanu Pf was not going to rig the elections because "you plugged all the vote rigging loop holes. #Godisinit!" You ever had the audacity to evoke the name of God in your deceit!
Zimbabwe is NOT getting out of this political and economic mess as long as millions of Zimbabweans out there remain ignorant and naive they are easily conned by an upstart like Chamisa to believe and act on the basis of idiotic lies.
Democracy demands that the voters must be educated, knowledgeable and objective so that they are fit to carry out their sacred duty of holding leaders to account. A gullible and ignorant electorate that consider leaders to be demigods; even those with a well documented track record and corrupt, incompetent and liars like Chamisa; are a curse to democracy!

Zimbabweans should be SMART enough to know Chamisa and his CCC fiends participated in the 2023 elections knowing fully well that Zanu PF was rigging and that participating will give Zanu PF legitimacy. They went ahead regardless out of greed. Even after SADC and AU condemned the election process as flawed and illegal, David Coltart, Fadzayi Mahere and all the other winning candidates went on to take up their gravy train seats.
CCC leaders in parliament, senate or council today are there to give this illegal Zanu PF regime some modicum of legitimacy.
Chamisa conned millions to participate in the flawed elections on the basis of a blatant and idiotic lie. "I have plugged all Zanu PF vote rigging loop holes.#Godisinit!" He even evoked the name of God in his treasonous betrayal and deceit!
Zimbabweans must be SMART enough to now know that MDC/CCC leaders are Zanu PF team B in all but name; fighting for team A to win and have legitimacy. We have no business supporting Zanu PF team B!
The two CCC factions led by Tshabangu and Timba are squaring up for dominance, they are in parliament because the are sell outs. Zimbabweans must be smart enough to disown both factions in we are ever going to stop the curse of opposition participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy out of greed!

Zanu PF's politically motivated, corrupt and chaotic land redistribution has made the country's land issue worse and not better. Land remains Zimbabwe's No. 1 economic issue. There will be no meaningful resolution of this matter whilst the curse of rigged elections and bad governance remains unresolved!
Zimbabwe is currently grappling with a severe energy crisis, characterized by daily load-shedding lasting up to 16 hours. Meanwhile, neighboring Zambia remains cautiously optimistic about easing its power outages by August 2025, highlighting contrasting trajectories for the two countries sharing the critical Kariba hydropower resource.
The government has attributed Zimbabwe's electricity shortages primarily to the El Niño-induced drought, which has drastically lowered water levels at the Kariba Dam - a vital source of hydroelectric power for both Zimbabwe and Zambia.
In 1980, Ian Smith handed the incoming Mugabe regime the facibility reports on Hwange Power Station unit 7 & 8 and Batoka Gorge Dam. Smith would have started on the two projects was it not for the bush war. The two units were finally installed last year, 44 years after independence. As for the Batoka Gorge project, Kariba Dam mark 2 in terms of hydropower generation; nothing is happening.
Mugabe splashed US$3 to 4 billion building his Blue Roof mansion, enough to have paid for Batoka Gorge plus all the other related infrastructure such as roads, transmission lines, etc. Blue Roof is all but abandoned as Grace Mugabe are the two boys are harding ever in Zimbabwe. What a criminal waste of resources; think of the down stream economic benefits that would have been accrued by now if Batoka Gorge Hydro Power station was on stream these last four decades!
Meanwhile Mnangagwa keeps wittering above Zimbabwe becoming an upper middle income nation by 2030, the so call vision 2030. The country has been sinking into the abyss these last 45 years and vision 2030 is but the sugar coated tranquilliser administered to the sheep entering the slaughter house.
Geza project was doomed to fail because it lack a solid foundation. Replacing Mnangagwa with Chiwenga was foolish because it was just a repeat of the 2017 coup that replaced Mugabe with Mnangagwa. Only fools viewed that as progress!
Politicians do this all the time. They give with one hand and make a big song and dance about it and steal even more from you with the other hand!
https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1kvJpykLwLbxE
FADZAYI MAHERE SAYS SHE WILL NOT RESPECT ANYONE WHO TAKES A CAR FROM WICKNELL CHIVHAYO AND YET SHE AND HER CCC FIENDS HAVE RECEIVED CAR AND MORE GRAVY TRAIN BRIBES FROM MNANGAGWA. CHIVHAYO AND MNANGAGWA BRIBE PEOPLE FOR THE SAME CAUSE - TO KEEP ZANU PF IN POWER AT ALL COST.
"WE NEED NEW LEADERS!" MAHERE HAS ALREADY HIT THE 2028 ELECTION CAMPAIGN TRAIL. SHE WILL PARTICIPATE IN THE FLAWED ELECTIONS TO GIVE ZANU APF LEGITIMACY AND PERPETUATE THE DICTATORSHIP OUT OF GREED.
WE CANNOT STOP HER AND HER CCC FIENDS PARTICIPATING BUT CAN HELP OPEN THE EYES OF SUPPORTERS BLINDED BY THE PERSONALITY CULT MENTALITY SO THEY ARE NOT CONNED INTO PARTICIPATING IN THE FLAWED ELECTIONS. A DIFFICULT TASK BUT NOT AN IMPOSSIBLE ONE!
@ Mwana wevhu
This time he will take advantage of a fragmented Zanu pf party and CCC which is siding with Zanu pf. I think he will outsmart all politicians this time. He has greater advantage. Even the hungry soldiers will support him."
What is wrong with accepting that we cannot win rigged elections, let us implement the democratic reforms to ensure free, fair and credible elections not just for ourselves but for future generations?
@ Bornwell
If it was about exposing the rigging then why did MDC leaders fail to implement the reforms during the GNU? Why did CCC leaders take up the gravy train seats even after SADC and AU had condemned the elections as flawed?
@ Arnold
"Mukore you are right...there is no opposition in Zim...but hang on! Don't blame anyone. Zanu PF kills... the war vets can weaken you.
Come and help Nyokayemabhunu if you are brave...we want doers."
People have supported Chamisa, participated in the 2023 elections ignoring the warning that it is folly to do do because the believed Chamisa's idiotic lie that he plugged all the vote rigging loop holes. To follow your logic, Chamisa was the doer and those who warned of the folly in participating were the time wasters!
After 45 years of participating in flawed elections it is disappointing that there are millions who will do so yet again come 2028!
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Participating in flawed elections for 45 years expecting an opposition to win is insane!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcdE6xMv0dY
Which CCC faction in parliament should the people support, the Sengezo Tshabangu or Jameson Timba led faction?
NEITHER!
Nelson Chamisa and his CCC fiends participated in the 2023 elections knowing fully well that Zanu PF was rigging elections and that participating will give vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy. And that is exactly what happened.This Zanu PF regime is illegitimate.
Has Zimbabwe benefited or ever benefit from having an illegitimate regime given legitimacy by the presence of CCC leaders who participated in the flawed 2023 elections? The answer to that is we gained nothing and lost a lot in being stuck with this corrupt and tyrannical dictatorship.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expectinbg a different result. After 45 years of participating in flawed elections expecting the opposition to win, we really need to put an end to this insanity. We must implement the reforms and demand free and fair elections from hence forward!
@ Arnold
Are blaming the Zanu PF thugs too for MDC leaders selling on reforms and for your on stupidity in being so easily conned by Chamisa? What a nincompoop!
@ MC
SO MADHUKU IS NOW THE EXCUSE FOR CHAMISA SELLING OUT ON REFORMS DURING THE GNU AND FOR CONNING PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE IN FLAWED ELECTIONS? HOW CAN ANYONE BE SO DUMB, THICK AND SLOW!

@ And
Uyu anonyora zvisina musoro uyu
Are you one of those who were conned to participate in 2023 elections believing CCC would win big because Chamisa plugged all Zanu PF vote rigging loop holes. And now you do not even have the guts to admit you were conned. You are an even bigger idiot because Chamisa is going to con you yet again come 2028 elections!
You want to be known for attacking Chamisa. Get a life man"
You cannot bear to see Chamisa held to account because the personality cult mentality is so strong it is impermeable to reason. For a healthy and functioning democracy ALL leaders MUST be accountable to the people. It is clear this must be hammered into your empty head.
It is very sad that 45 years after independence in this day and age, anyone who be so dumb to consider a mere mortal a demigod. No wonder we are a failed state; we have more than our fair share of nincompoops and, worst of all, they have the vote.
Zimbabwe is being held to ransom by its millions of nincompoops who are easily conned to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate their own suffering. After 45 years of Zanu PF rigging elections they still believe the opposition can win RIGGED elections!
@ Koja

Address the issues raised, why are you keen to have them swept under the carpet.
Chamisa did con people to participate in flawed 2023 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy. That was not the first time because he did the same thing in 2018! Worst of all, he is set to repeat the same dirty trick in 2028.
Of course, he must and will be stopped and the truth hammered into nincompoops like you in the hope you will not be so easily conned again - that is not negotiable! I have the hammer!
@ Arnold
I have a foul mouth because I dare to speak the truth about Chamisa and you?
I repeat, Chamisa conned millions to participate in flawed elections on the basis of an idiotic lie that he plugged all vote rigging loop holes. You and millions of others are idiots for having believed such an idiotic lie!
The truth will be hammered into you lot’s empty heads in the hope that come 2028 at least some of you will not be so easily conned! I have the sludge hammer for the job!
@ MC
"That's why I said you pretend to be intelligent yet hapana zviripo. The saying empty vessels make a lot of noise is very true and you are an epitome of an empty vessel. Madhuku is not an excuse for anything. Let me explain to you pachigrade 1 why I used him as an example. You know and I know Kuti Zanu wanted those elections to be viewed as legitimate. To do so they were willing and were prepared and did sponsor bogus opposition parties to participate in the elections so that, in the event Chamisa refused to participate for whatever reason, the world would view him as a coward.
I used Madhuku as an example because of what Mugabe said about him when it comes to money. When Chamisa said the elections where not free or fair were there no parties that rushed to endorse them as free and fair? I hope that, even though you are an idiot, you, at least now, understand why I say you are talking nonsense when it comes to Chamisa participating in those elections. In an ideal world I would agree with you 100%. Zimbabwe is not an ideal world and you know. So please come up with some other excuse, not this nonsense you are shouting everyday. You are sounding like a broken record. Wavakubhowa repeating the same thing everyday. Tipevo solution. Right now kunaTshagangu, Tagwirei and the 2030 nonsense. Tiudze how to deal with those. You surely are not telling us that you don't care about what we are facing. You only care about the past. Is your harping about Chamisa going to help with what's on the ground?"
So Chamisa & Co. did not implement even one token reform during the GNU because they feared they would be called cowards if they did?
Chamisa insisted on participating in the flawed elections saying CCC would win big because "he plugged all the Zanu PF vote rigging loop holes. #Godisinit!" He even evoke the name of God Almighty! Are you now telling me he knew Zanu PF was rigging and that participating would give the regime legitimacy. He did it regardless because he did not want to be called a coward!
Well the more rational explanation is that MDC leaders participated in the flawed elections for the same reasons they failed to implement even one token reform during the GNU - they are breathtakingly incompetent and greedy! What is more MDC leaders admit it themselves!
“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.
You MC are just one of the brain dead nincompoops who were conned to believe and idiotic lie and are not even smart enough to admit even in the face of a mountain of evidence to prove it.
@ Risktaker
“Very soon we will remove you from all the groups that we added you Wilbert, we're sick and tired of you with your Chamisa nonsense, we gave you his number to call him directly and address your issues with him seems it's not working. You want to be known for hurting Chamisa, Get a life man.”
Threats or no threats, ALL leaders are accountable to the people and that includes Chamisa.
If he did implement the democratic reforms and I am the one lying that he did not then he must name the reforms implemented and explain why Zanu PF continues to rig elections.
If he did indeed plug all the vote rigging loop holes in the 2023 elections then must tell that SADC and AU are lying in saying the 2023 election process was flawed and illegal.
The ball is in Chamisa’s court, it is for him to account for the selling out on reforms and for lying to con people to participate in flawed election on this platform and other public platforms. It is not only to me that he is accountable to but the whole nation!
All leaders are accountable - that is not negotiable!
Yes we must salute Traore for his principle stand a break from the usual run of the mill African leaders known only for the blundering incompetence and greed!
@ Jerry Madyira
Thank you!
Zanu PF imposed the ethos that the party has the divine right to govern and did not tolerate any dissent. Alas! This foolishness has permeated to all sections of society including the opposition. Chamisa has become a demigod and those who have dare to hold him to account for selling and lying have become public enemy number one!
We cannot stamp out the Zanu PF dictatorship only to allow a Chamisa dictatorship through the back door! All leaders are accountable and that is not negotiable!
@ MC
"Wilbert we are talking of 2023 elections 15 years after the GNU. You say Chamisa and Co did not. Was it Chamisa who was supposed to or not? You wanted Chamisa to travel back in time to fix something that was done by Tsvangirai is that so? You know and I know that Zanu pf refused the electrol reforms and there was nothing that could have been done. You know that anytime that Zanu will call for elections there will be some opposition of sorts that will participate in that election whether Chamisa decides to be in the elections or not."
Chamisa was a senior MDC leader in the 2008 to 2013 GNU, why did he not implement any reforms then? He lied about plugging vote rigging loop holes in 2023 elections.
The trouble with nincompoops like you is you consider Chamisa to be a demigod who can do no wrong. How anyone can hold such a foolish view in this day and age beggars belief. No wonder we are a failed state; we have millions of nincompoops and, to crown it all, they have the vote!
You MC, you are a nincompoop defending the indefensible. Chamisa is a mere mortal a corrupt, incompetent and a liar at that. He is NOT a demigod - get that into your nincompoop head!
@ Alfredo
This debate is way above your intellectual ability!
You were asked a very simple question whether Chamisa lied about plugging vote rigging loop holes. One minute you say he did not lie then the the next you admit the elections were not fair. If you cannot make up your mind on a simple matter it is naive to expect you to do any better on complex one!
The spirit is willing but the intellect is weak!
@ Risktaker
“You have been accusing this man for almost a year now, but what have you yourself done to fix the problem? I personally gave you Chamisa's number, but did you talk to him directly? Instead, you just complain to us day in day out. What do you want us to do? Complaining from UK won't change the status quo.We need solutions, not just empty words from your old ass old man, change your narratives OR Go get a life old man.”
So you think by selling out on reforms and conning millions to participate in flawed elections knowing fully well that doing so would give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the nation’s suffering for the sake of a few gravy train seats; Chamisa was “fixing the problem”? You really are mentally retarded!
So you think that we should all go down on our bended knees and worship Chamisa is the solution?
I have said it before and will say it again: ALL leaders are democratically accountable to the people. The said people include those in Zimbabwe and outside, those who “have done something to fix the problem (like yourself) and those who have done nothing (like me), those who fought in the liberation war and those who did not, forever young(like you) and old (like me), etc., etc. Again, that is not negotiable you flatulent nincompoop!
@ Gambiza
So you finally admit that Chamisa lied, that is progress! Do you agree that you were an idiot to be have believed the idiotic lie?
@ Gambiza
It was a rhetorical question; of course, you are an idiot to have believed an idiotic lie. The tragedy is you will be conned again come 2028!
@ Koja
"So by constantly mentioning Chamisa u are addressing the issues . We have pressing issues at present more pressing than your petty hatred of a person. Pakituka apa I thought we have matured enough to discuss."
Zimbabwe is a failed state because we have been stuck with this vote rigging Zanu PF dictatorship for 45 years and counting. Zimbabwe is NOT going to get out of this political mess until we cure ourselves of the curse of rigged elections and bad governance.
Mnangagwa rigged 2023 elections and got away with it because MDC/CCC leaders have not only failed to implement any reforms in 25 years including the 5 GNU years of 2008 to 2013. Worse still, ever since the GNU debacle Chamisa & Co. have been participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy out of greed.
As long as Chamisa is allowed to con his brain dead followers to participate in flawed elections on the basis of idiotic lies, Zanu PF will rig elections and get away with it. This has been explained to you a thousand times but you have failed to comprehend any of it.
Still we are not going to allow Chamisa to continue to con millions to participate in flawed elections and perpetuate the Zanu PF dictatorship just because village idiots like you do not have the intellect to see what he is doing.
Chamisa sold out by failing to implement the democratic reforms and lied about plugging all vote rigging loop holes to con people to participate in flawed elections. He will be held to account for this and measures taken to ensure this is not repeated.
You are a nincompoop and should not concern yourself with matters that you do not understand. You are not going to stop Chamisa being held to account nor will you ever silence me with your idiotic arguments.
It is a great national tragedy that nincompoops like you have the vote, do not push your luck in thinking you, with an IQ of a garden slug, can dictate to me!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi6zs59Z4V0
Emmerson Mnangagwa is one of the wealthiest individual in Zimbabwe and it is for this reason that Zanu PF has rigged elections for the last 45 years and counting! Zanu PF will never ever hold free, fair and credible elections and risk democratic accountability for the looted wealth and human rights abuses for the last four decades.
Still, there have been many opportunities to implement the democratic reforms and thus end the Zanu PF dictatorship notably during the 2008 to 2013 GNU. Morgan Tsvangirai failed to implement even one token reform. Ever since the GNU debacle, MDC/CCC leaders have participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy out of greed.
Chamisa has conned people to participate in flawed elections arguing we do not need reforms as he has "plugged all vote rgging loop holes. #Godisinit!" Millions believed the idiotic lies!
How millions can be conned to abandon reforms and free elections in pursuit of an illusion, winning rigged elections. Even after 45 years of Zanu PF rigging elections!
@ Mwana wevhu
Then answer the issues I raised! Why has the AU and all the other African bodies failed to resolve the many challenges we face in Africa today?
Chigumba is seeking asylum in SA.
If this is true, it will rock Zanu PF to the core.

"Let's be forward thinking. Cathedral mentality. Rear view mirror is smaller than a windscreen for a reason. Your infatuation with Chamisa will trigger health problems you least desire."

ALL LEADERS ARE DEMOCRATICALLY ACCOUNTABLE - THAT IS NOT NEGOTIABLE! WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS COUNTLESS TIME - YOU FLATULENT NINCOMPOOP!
@ MuKANYA
"Why don't u mention the leader during that time .Hatred will not set u free Wilbert Mukori.Why don't u talk of Mutambara who was one of the three Prime Minister of GNU ,why only Chamisa . Reforms was not for opposition alone ,even Zanu PF where supposed To be part of doing reforms In parliament. If reforms where done it was not only opposition where going to benefit bt the entire country Zanu PF included."
Are you saying only Nelson Chamisa had no opportunity to implement any democratic reforms at all in the last 25 years including the 5 GNU years?
Zimbabwe is a failed state because we have failed to implement the democratic reforms to stop Zanu PF rigging elections because MDC/CCC failed to implement any reforms. Worse still, they have repeatedly lied about winning rigged elections to con people to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the nation's suffering.
MDC/CCC leaders are Zanu PF team B in all but name, playing for team A to win and have legitimacy. And they have done all these out of greed. And yet each time some one tries to hold Chamisa & Co. to account some brain dead nincompoops jump to their defence. Why?
The nincompoops have the personality cult mentality. To them Chamisa is a demigod who can do no wrong. How anyone can view a fellow mortal, especially one with a well documented track record as corrupt, incompetent and a liar, in this day and age beggars belief!
Chamisa is set to con the brain dead nincompoops to participate in 2028 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the nation's suffering. Whilst little can be done to stop Chamisa and Co. participating no stone will be left unturned to make sure the nincompoops do not participate. Have to knock some sense into the nincompoops' heads and I have a sludge hammer for the purpose!
Chamisa is not a demigod and he must account for selling out on reforms and lying to con people to participate in flawed elections - that is not negotiable. I do not hate Chamisa, why should holding him to account be considered hatred? What a flatulent nincompoop!
@ Mbofana
There’s always something telling - yet deeply disturbing - about the mantras repeated by the Zimbabwean government.
Yesterday, I watched a report on the state-controlled broadcaster in which the Emmerson Mnangagwa administration was, once again, patting itself on the back for electrifying a small rural area through its Rural Electrification Agency (REA).
As has become the norm, the authorities wasted no time touting this as a major developmental milestone, proudly presenting it as part of the broader objective of "leaving no one and no place behind."
To the government, this was clearly a cause for celebration - another victory on their long march to progress.
Yet, I found myself wondering: this is 45 years after Zimbabwe attained independence - why then are we still talking about "leaving no place behind"?
● If you believe in Tendai Ruben Mbofana's fight for justice in Zimbabwe, please consider supporting his work financially. Every contribution helps him keep going, independently and fearlessly.
Why are most parts of Zimbabwe, especially rural areas, still lightyears behind the rest of the country?
More importantly, why were they ever left behind in the first place?
Let's not forget that one of the primary grievances raised by those who led and supported the liberation struggle was precisely the neglect and underdevelopment of rural communities by the colonial government.”
Zanu PF is holding the rural people poor and dependent on the regime for its own selfish political gains. The rural people are no more than medieval serfs denied title deeds to even the few square metres of land on which their mud huts stand. Zanu PF fears that if the poor were given title deeds to land, and get their foot on the economic ladder, they will demand political rights next. This is the one thing Zanu PF will never allow!
@ Influence change
Land is the one thing the poor can have as their own. Who would want to buy two or three acres of land not even 20 or 30 acres! The fear of the poor selling off their land is wholly unfounded!
Masvingo Mirror video of a three being beaten accused of being false prophets!
The lawlessness started at the top and now it has spread to everyone. Everyone is taking the law into their own hands, they are the accuser, judge, jury and executioner administering the punishment.

When we say ALL leaders are accountable, we mean all leaders be they in the ruling party or opposition.
The people of Zimbabwe have risked all to elect opposition leaders these last 25 years for one primary purpose - to deliver the necessary democratic changes to stop Zanu PF rigging elections. Zanu PF blatantly rigged the 2023 elections because not even one token reform was implemented. Chamisa conned millions of people to participate in the flawed elections knowing doing so will give Zanu PF legitimacy for the same reasons MDC failed to implement even one reform during the GNU - greed and incompetence.
MDC/CCC leaders are Zanu PF team B in all but name; playing for team A to win and have legitimacy for a share of the spoils of power.
Of course, Chamisa and company must be held to account for their treasonous betrayal of the people of Zimbabwe. Only a flatulent nincompoop would want them off the hook on the idiotic grounds that MDC/CCC are not the ruling party.
The very fact that anyone would still be questioning the notion that all leaders are accountable only goes to show that we have some village idiots amongst us.
In his book Animal Farm, George Orwell, described Boxer, the horse, who took as long to learn the first four letters of alphabet as others took to learn all 26 letters. He took just as long again to learn the next four letters and by then, he had forgotten the first four letters.
We have millions of Zimbabweans with the IQ of Boxer, they have failed to grasp even simple notions like all leaders are accountable. The tragedy for Zimbabwe is the village idiots have the voice and the vote. They are are dictating that Chamisa & Co. are untouchable demigods. And they have been conned again and again to participate in flawed elections, believing idiotic lies that the opposition will win Rigged elections, only to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate their own suffering.
It would be irresponsible to let the madness that has turned Zimbabwe into a failed state continue unchecked. Chamisa & Co. must and will be held to account and common sense must be hammered into the empty heads of the flatulent nincompoops like you, Chineunyee! I have a sludge hammer for the purpose!
@ Chinounyee
MDC/CCC leaders have failed to implement even one token reform to stop Zanu PF rigging elections. Chamisa conned millions to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy. MDC/CCC leader are Zanu PF team B playing for team A to win and have legitimacy. Only a nincompoop like you can see this as “trying to remove Zanu PF”.How anyone can be so thick, shallow and slow beggars belief.
Still, I have the sludge hammer, I will knock some sense into that cup-cake!

“Usangohukura everytime usina solution hauna part hauvhoti unoda kuita noumwe iwe waitei pakabirwa maelections you did not act Geza oti demonstrate hauko ska unobatsirei kungohumana pano pagroup.”
You have been voting these last 45 years and that has not stop Zimbabwe becoming a failed nation. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. 45 years of rigged elections is a bloody long time and yet there is a real possibility that millions will be conned to participate in flawed 2028 elections on the basis of another idiotic lie of the opposition winning RIGGED elections.
Geza was offering to replace Mnangagwa with Chiwenga, a repeat of the 2017 coup!
The solution is not that should participate in the elections, as you are suggesting, but that people should stop and THINK. This is the solution I am offering!

The role of the media in a healthy democracy is to educate the people. Zanu PF wanted the country's media to help the party to stay in power at all cost. Here is the man who relished playing his part of brain-washing the nation for the benefit of the Zanu PF dictatorship.

It is not just the past of the white colonial oppression of slave trade that we, Africans, are told we must forget but the Zimbabwe of 8 years ago and of 2023 elections.
In 2017 Mnangagwa rebranded Zanu PF as the Second Republic and washed his hands, Pontius Pilate style, of all that happened from 1980 to 2017. Yet he was a senior Zanu PF leader who played a major role in such events as Gukurahundi and the 2008 electoral coup that kept Zanu PF in power all the 37 years. Worse of all the Second Republic inherited the Zanu PF dictatorial powers and only pretended to be a squeaky clean democrat.
Mnangagwa rigged 2023 elections because MDC/CCC leaders sold out on reforms and have been participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy. We cannot talk about it because it is all in the past, Chamisa chete chete brigade members argue!
@ Nyamayevu
"You made your point way way back. If you were half the academic you want to portray YOU WOULD TAKE OVER THE LEADERSHIP FROM CHAMISA AND DO WHAT HE COULDN'T . WHAT'S STOPPING YOU. YOU THINK THIS INCESSANT RANTING ABOUT CHAMISA THIS, CHAMISA THAT WILL CHANGE ANYTHING? YOU ARE INDEED CONVERTING THIS GROUP INTO A MONUMENTAL BOREDOM! GET A LIFE MAN!"
Chamisa will be held to account for selling out on reforms and conning millions to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy. And some common sense will be hammered into the empty heads of the brain dead nincompoops who have been conned again and again to participate in flawed elections. Why are you fuming and frothing to hear this?
Are you one of the MDC/CCC leaders nervous about being held to account?
Are you one of the brain dead nincompoops who were conned by the idiotic lies to participate in the flawed elections?
It is possible you are one of the thousands of Zanu PF operative pretending to be a brain dead Chamisa chete chete supporters for the sake of encouraging the real ones to keep participating in flawed elections and keep Zanu PF in power.
I do not care who you are. Chamisa & Co. will be held to account and sense will be hammered into the brain dead nincompoops - that is not negotiable!
@ Risktaker
For your on information I have contacted these guys in the past and some have blocked me, not that it matters. In selling out on reforms, conning people to participate in flawed elections, etc. these guys betrayed the nation including their brain dead followers. They are accountable to the nation and not just me!

Journalists have a special role to play in a healthy and functioning society - to educate the people. In Zimbabwe we have Blessed Mhlanga who was arrested and imprisoned for doing his work. Compared to Ruben Barwe who has spend the last four decades brain washing the people, he received a car and US$100 000 gifts from Wicknell Chivhayol. Barwe thanked President Mnangagwa for approving and clearing the gifts.
No wonder we a failed society!
Video of Zimbabweans being kicked to death in SA.
Zimbabwe’s economic and political crisis, the root cause why so many Zimbabweans are in SA today, is our failure to govern ourself. The country has been stuck with this corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship complete with its MDC/CCC side-kick for decades.
It is a crying shame that we have allowed this nightmare to last all these years. We must now do something to end this madness and the heartbreaking human suffering it has caused.
Why are the overwhelming majority of these war veterans so poor they cannot afford to buy a stand much less to build a decent house with water and access road?
Are the war veterans the only ones who are poor? More than 50% of our people are living in abject poverty, when will the regime buy stands and builds houses for them?
The very fact that millions of Zimbabweans are living in abject poverty is proof Zanu PF has failed to govern. Government should not be doing for the people what they can do for themselves. Government should create an economic and political environment where individuals can prosper through their own hard work.
The Zimbabwe economy has all but collapsed, millions are unemployed. Will government pay the war veterans a decent pension to meet their daily needs of food, transport, health care, etc.?
Zanu PF has denied the rural folk title deeds to even the few square metres of the yard on which their mud huts are built as a deliberate policy of keeping them poor and dependent on the party for handouts. The party is doing the same thing to the war veterans, instead of the food and agricultural inputs the rural people get they are getting houses. Zanu PF will return its iron grip on power by making all these people poor are dependent on the party’s generosity!
The war veterans are getting houses now 45 years after independence to buy their silence. The party does not want them to join the rest of the Zimbabweans demanding meaningful political change including free and fair elections because the present Zanu PF dictatorship has failed.
The regime has bribed the war veterans to buy their silence with the Z$50 000 gratuity in 1996, pension, farm allocation and now houses. The regime is hoping the latest bribe will work but clearly not for long. The war veterans will wake up to the economic reality that they also need food and money to pay for other basic necessities such as transport and health care.
The house for war veterans will not solve the fundamental problem of bad governance, the root cause of Zimbabwe’s economic meltdown. Zanu PF is doing what it has always done these last 45 years - pick the can down the road. The regime is running out of road, the growing economic poverty is making millions restless for change, the pressure has been building up and up.
The real tragedy here is that thse war veterans just want to swap one dictator for another, they still do not realise that it is the dictatorship itself that must go! They have been brain washed into believing that Zanu PF has the divine right to rule! They are now part of the problem and not the solution!
@ The Miz
The last 25 years the people have followed MDC/CCC leaders because they believed in them. Chamisa conned millions to participate in flawed 2018 and 2023 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuating the dictatorship. He is gearing to do so again in 2028 and millions will believe his idiotic lies of the opposition winning rigged elections! The opposition is NOT dead!
@ The Miz
Comparing Mugabe with Mnangagwa is as meaningless as a mouse comparing a black mamba to a cobra. Mugabe’s taxes were not so heavy nor the corruption but that was only because he inherited the seven fat cows from Smith. Mnangagwa inherited nothing from Mugabe and so had to increase the looting to raise the bribe money!
@ The Miz
Zimbabweans must have the common sense and stop participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy because they believed Chamisa’s idiotic lies of winning rigged elections.

The sheer barbarism of xenophobia attacks of Zimbabweans in SA is de-humanising to both the victim and those committing the crime. What makes the xenophobia attacks even more infuriating is that the victims have known about these attacks and still Zimbabweans continue to flood into SA as economic and/or political refugees. 45 years of gross mismanagement, rampant corruption and tyrannical oppression has forced millions to leave Zimbabwe for SA and beyond.
Zimbabwe's economic meltdown and political oppression is a man-made problem that has been festering for over 25 years and counting. A man made problem and yet the nation is seemingly helpless to end it. A s a nation we elected to let Zanu PF thugs ride roughshod over us denying us our right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country and even the right to life!

“You will not get my radio licence fee!
We need new leaders!”
”Hypocrite! You and your CCC colleagues knew that Zanu PF was rigging the elections and participating would give the regime legitimacy. Still you went ahead because you also knew that Zanu PF gives away a few gravy train seats.
“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.
Even after SADCF and AU condemned the 2023 elections you still went ahead and took up the few gravy train seats giving Zanu PF legitimacy.
“We need new leaders!” Yeah right! You have been participating in these flawed elections to give vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy; is that the new leaders you are wittering about? Real political change will come from making sure the democratic reforms are implemented and elections are free, fair and credible. MDC/CCC leaders have given up on implementing reforms and have been participating in flawed elections for sake of the few gravy train seat Zanu PF gives away to entice the opposition to participate no matter how flawed and illegal the process get.
MDC/CCC leaders have failed to implement even one token reform to stop Zanu PF rigging elections in 25 years including 5 GNU years.
MDC/CCC leaders are Zanu PF team B, playing for team A to win and have legitimacy. It is a great pity that millions of Zimbabweans are yet to realise they are being conned by Chamisa and company to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the whole nation’s suffering.
Fadzayi Mahere is gearing to participate in flawed 2028 elections conning millions to participate on the basis of the idiotic promise doing so will get the nation “new leaders”! Millions believed Chamisa’s idiotic lie he had plugged all vote rigging loop hole in 2023; they will be conned again!
Ignorance is a curse worse than death! An ignorant and easily conned electorate is a curse to the nation!
The UK has removed former CIO boss, Isaac Moyo, former Police Commissioner Matanga, former Army commander Sanyatwe, Minister Owen Ncube and Zimbabwe Defence Industry from the sanctions list.
If the truth be told, the sanctions were more just a slap on the wrist and not the bend-over for the six-run cuts. Like it or not you will shuffling like a duck when you walk out of the office.
Having the sanctions imposed on the regime became a convenient excuse for ALL the regime's failures. Even now with only one or two still left on the sanctions list Zanu PF will continue blame the potholes on the roads, lack of medicine in the hospitals, the collapsed health care and education services, power cuts, etc., etc. on West imposed sanctions.
Sanctions were an excellent smoke-screen behind which to hide politically motivated human rights abuses. Political critics were accused of working in cahoots with the sanctions imposing West for the purposes of pushing the regime change agenda. This was the licence to kill! The regime will be pleased there are still one or two on the sanctions list - the party needs the licence to kill now more than ever!

That is just wishful thinking.
The people participated in flawed elections to give vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy because they were foolish enough to believe Chamisa's idiotic lie of plugging all vote rigging loop holes. And after giving vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy they think they can disregard the laws the illegitimate regime passes.
Talk of giving up the high ground to the enemy and being the one fighting up hill!
@ Comrade Craidos
“You’re the manufacturer of hypocrisy,how can you say that to Fadzai Mahere a poor young woman.What about you Mr Plastic Balls.
Why do criticise the efforts that are being made by your fellow fellows.
Why is it you claim to know everything.
Were you were blind by the time of rigging.
You must visit the toilet panekuuya uchitimamira pano,d*ckhead..”
I have never claimed to know everything. I not only know that Fadzayi Mahere and her CCC colleagues participated in flawed 2023 elections knowing that Zanu PF was rigging, that participating would give Zanu PF legitimacy and still they went ahead because they also knew that Zanu PF would give away a few gravy train seats. They knew all this themselves as David Coltart confessed.
“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.
The difference between you and me is that I respect historic fact, that MDC/CCC leaders are Zanu PF team B in all but name, playing for team A to win and have legitimacy. I want them exposed for the sell-outs they are and held to democratic account.
Most important of all I am determined to make sure that Mahere and company do not con the brain dead followers to participate in yet another flawed 2028 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and thus perpetuating the dictatorship.
You, Comrade Craidos, are just a nincompoop with the IQ of a garden slug, you have no respect for facts and have no clue what is going on here. Like all nincompoops you consider leaders like Chamisa to be demigods who can do no wrong and so you fume and froth from every opening to hear him called a liar and a sell-out.
I do not blame you for being brain dead but deeply regret that nincompoops like you have the voice and the vote! It would be irresponsible of me to let a nincompoop have the final say on such matters as whether Chamisa is a demigod or a mere mortal with a track record as corrupt, incompetent and a liar.
Given the nation’s destiny is at stake, nincompoops must not be allowed to participate in flawed elections to perpetuate the dictatorship, I am duty bound to knock some sense into your empty head. I am doing this by reminding you who you really are - a nincompoop with the IQ of a slug!

What is it exactly that you are tired of?
Are you tired of being conned into participating in flawed elections only to give Zanu PF legitimacy because you were foolish enough to believe the idiotic lies that the opposition will win rigged elections. If so then you know what to do - stop being so ignorant and gullible, stop believing in idiotic lies.
Are you tired of being told the truth that Fadzayi Mahere, Nelson Chamisa and their fellow opposition leaders are Zanu PF team B playing for team A to win and have legitimacy because you are one of the nincompoops who were conned again and again to to participate in flawed elections and who believe Chamisa is a demigod. Well you are one of the nincompoops perpetuating the Zanu PF dictatorship and a curse to the nation that you have the vote!
The idea of the nincompoops being conned by Mahere & Co. to participate in 2028 elections to perpetuate the Zanu PF dictatorship hangs over this nation like the sword of Damocles! No stone will be left unturned to hammer some common sense into the nincompoops!
@ God Given
Can you image that elections can be so flawed and illegal that the only logical thing to do is NOT to participate?
Can you image an election process so flawed you cannot change the result but know by participating you give the process legitimacy?
Now imagine some who knows the elections are being rigged, that participating will give the vote rigging party legitimacy bur they also know that they will be rewarded for conning the people to participate in the flawed elections. He will tell them the opposition will win big because he “has plugged all vote rigging loop holes. #Godisinit!” Even evokes the name of God!
Of course, the conman will never tell the voters he is conning them much less conning them out of greed.
This is not just me saying these things, here is David Coltart saying the same.
“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.
What do you think is the IQ of the voters who have believed these idiotic lies of winning RIGGED elections after 45 years of Zanu PF rigging elections? What is the IQ one some one who still believe in participating in the flawed elections?
@ Cucman
Cucman tackles sensitive Smith vs ED issues.
Well said! Our leaders have been looting and getting away with it the overwhelming majority out there have said nothing. Indeed, many have defended the leaders.
Holding leaders to account is the single most important duty of every citizen for a healthy and a functioning democracy. We are a failed state because we have failed to hold leaders to account because the personality cult mentality.
You have good reason to fear CIO, war veterans and Zanu PF militia from condemning Zanu PF corruption and tyranny. Not so many moons again, many ordinary Zimbabweans would have joined the lynching mob because once upon a time they believe Mugabe and his cronies were demigods.
Zanu PF has managed to remain in power these last 45 years because it retained its dictatorial powers. Why? Well MDC/CCC leaders have failed to implement even one token democratic change in 25 years including the 5 years in the GNU. Just with Zanu PF, we the people have failed to hold Chamisa & Co. to account. Chamisa is the nation’s new demigod!
@ Comrade Craidos
To educate the brain dead so they are not so easily conned into participating in flawed elections to perpetuate the nation’s suffering.
Why are you fuming and frothing that leaders like Mahere and Chamisa are exposed for the hypocrites and conman they are? (A rhetorical question because I know the answer. You consider them demigods who do no wrong. Giving nincompoop like you the voice and vote is one of the curses Zimbabwe has to endure! The nation would be better off if scum like you were never born!)
@ Muza
So you agree MDC/CCC leaders are Zanu PF team B in all but name, playing for team A to win and have legitimacy. Has it ever occurred to you that the millions of Zimbabweans who have believed these idiotic lies of winning rigged elections and conned to participate in the flawed elections did not know they are being conned.
Do you really think these millions would continue participating in these flawed elections is they KNEW doing so would only perpetuate their own suffering?
What is it exactly are you objecting here? That I should not expose Chamisa & Co. for the treasonous betrayal of the ordinary Zimbabweans who believe in the idiotic lies? You do not want Chamisa & Co. held to account and the madness of rigged elections to end? Why?
45 years after independence, in this day and age, and we are still grappling with the concept of whether or not leaders are accountable to the people! No wonder we are a failed state. Fcuk me!
@ Lamick Mahachi
“I think this talk about who did what will not solve our problem if we can’t come-up with tangible solutions that will lead to a better Zimbabwe.
Apart from those who are amongst the mob that is on the gravy train who are pretending not to notice that Zimbabwe is decaying due to massive corruption and mismanagement, everyone else who are in the majority knows who are behind this national destruction. There’s no need to keep talking about what is in plain sight. We are merely wasting time.
Join those who are implementing positive ideas that are in the process yielding positive and tangible results.”
Who are “those implementing positive ideas” and what are those “positive ideas”?
It is totally refreshing to hear a leader who speaks the same language he spoke when he was seeking power. The norm is to call for democracy, end corruption and human dignity whilst they seek the people’s votes and no sooner they taste power they undergo the metamorphosis into the corrupt and oppressive thugs they set out to destroy!
Traore has so far resisted the corrupting influence of power. Will he now president over the building of Burkina Faso’s democratic institutions necessary to guarantee rule of law, political stability and economic prosperity? Time will tell!
@ Prof Lumumba
Very sad. 45 years after independence some of us are still failing to define what constitutes free and fair elections and hence the reason we are the one participating in flawed elections only to give vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy because we believe we can win RIGGED elections!
The opposition have taken full advantage of the ignorance and stupidity of our people, conning them to participate in flawed elections so they can get a share of the spoils of power. Warning the people of the sheer folly of participating in flawed elections to perpetuate the nation’s suffering has made some of us public enemies!
Nhamo inenharo!
@ Developer
You have brought up a very important point; many people’s failure to distinguish the MDC/CCC leaders from the ordinary Zimbabwean. The former know the elections are flawed and that participating will give Zanu PF legitimacy. They also know that Zanu PF is giving away a few gravy train seats to entice the opposition to participate. It is these gravy train seats that the opposition leaders are after and do not care about the consequences of giving Zanu PF legitimacy is perpetuating the people’s suffering.
Chamisa & Co. are rewarded for conning the people to participate in the flawed election. They cannot tell the people the opposition are participating out of greed, the people will not participate. They tell the people that the opposition will win big the elections regardless of all the evidence of Zanu PF rigging because they have devised winning in rigged election strategies.
The very fact that millions of Zimbabweans have time and time again believed these MDC/CCC idiotic lies and participated in flawed elections to perpetuate their own suffering speaks volumes of the IQ of these voters. An ignorant and gullible electorate that is so easily conned again and again is a curse to the nation.
There is very little to suggest Zimbabweans have learned the folly of participating in flawed elections even after 45years of Zanu PF rigging elections. It will not take much for Chamisa to con millions of Zimbabwe to participate in 2028 elections.
@ Teeman
If CCC did not participate SADC and AU will have denied Zanu PF legitimacy as happened in 2008. Chamisa had 44% of the votes the remaining 9 candidates had 4%; how anyone can still pretend that 44% boycotting would not have been noticed beggars belief!
Chamisa & Co. participated out of greed and how anyone can think they were doing the nation a favour only goes to show we are dealing with simpletons here! They regard Chamisa as a demigod and so they must cover up for what he did even to the extend of denying facts!
@ Muza
So you THINK the 2 million who participated in the 2023 elections did so knowing fully well that Zanu PF was rigging and that participating will give the regime legitimacy and perpetuate their own suffering. Or did they participate because they believed CCC would win big as Chamisa “had plugged all the vote rigging loop holes”! How nauseating!
https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1MYxNwpZLvLKw
Zimbabwe is a failed state because both Zanu PF and the MDC/CCC leaders could not resist the Franz Kafka metamorphosis the taste of political power induced in them. Whilst they aspired for power they were humans, one with the people fighting for freedom, justice and economic prosperity for all. Once the tasted power the became cockroaches, corrupt, incompetent and tyrants!
President Ibrahim Traore has earned the respect of millions of people the world over because he one African leader who has tasted power and resisted the Kafka metamorphosis!
@ Shumba
Video of six day plan to change Zimbabwe government drafted by the Army.
Zanu PF rigged the 2023 elections and CCC conned millions to participate to give the regime the modicum of legitimacy. The whitewash has fooled no one, the economic meltdown and political tyranny have continued and the nation is restless for real and meaningful change.
Zanu PF and the opposition are conniving to repeat 2023 in 2028 but they are worried they may not get away with it. What if someone was to demands an audit of the 2028 V11 for real!
@ Royal Barber
“Mind you kuti Even if the opposition boycott to participate still Zanu Pf will sponsor some unknown individuals to register as Presidential candidate. "What is 5000 Usd to Zanu Pf". And the election will proceed smooth and crown themselves again.”
Political legitimacy is derived not only from how many presidential candidates were on the ballot paper but on how much public support each commands. So Chamisa with 2 million votes or 44% of the total votes cast gave the process legitimacy than the remaining 9 candidate who only managed to get 4% between them.
Madhuku and Mwonzora had a handful of attendees at their star-rallies proof they have no mass following.
The 2 million who voted for Chamisa did so because they believed his idiotic lie that CCC would win big because he “plugged all Zanu PF vote rigging loop holes. #Godisinit!” This was not the first time these voters were easily conned into participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate their own suffering. How anyone let alone millions can be so easily conned into believing idiotic lies to commit such drama self-harm acts speaks volumes of their IQ!
To suggest these people participated in the flawed elections in their millions to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate their own suffering because they feared that Madhuku and his handful of supporters would give the regime legitimacy is just another feeble excuse to justify the foolish decision to participate! The very fact that such foolish excuses are still circulating only goes to show there are millions who are shallow, thick and slow; what should be obvious is still dark mysteries to them!
What matters is that Chamisa & Co. will con the 2 million brain dead to participate in 2028 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the dictatorship. Giving the vote to village idiots is a curse and we are paying dearly for it!
@ Tavstan
"Iwewe wakatoyitiza zanupf reason wava kungo wawata uri kuzhe kwenyika."
I was critical of the regime when I was in Zimbabwe, I am outside and I am still as critical. So my being in Zimbabwe or not has changed nothing.
On the other hand you are one of the village idiots who believe Chamisa is a demigod and believed his idiotic lies of plugging vote rigging loop holes. Whether you are in Zimbabwe or outside is irrelevant you still consider Chamisa a demigod and thus confirm whom you really are - the village idiot.
There are village idiots in Zimbabwe just as there are village idiots outside Zimbabwe. By the same token there are rational Zimbabweans in Zimbabwe just as there are outside the country. It is only the village idiots who make a mountain out of a mole hill of where one is, as if a village idiot would be transformed into a genius the instant they cross the border line! They have nothing to say on the substantive issues and so dwell on trivial!

Why is it that Africa has the gold reserves and yet our currency are the weakest?
It has become the norm for Africans to point finger at the West, East and more recently the Middle East for the continent's economic, political and social problems. We should in fact look in the mirror to see the chief culprit of our problem - ourselves. Our failure to deal with the problem of rigged elections and bad governance has left many African nations in the hands of corrupt, incompetent and murderous thugs who have profited from selling their nation's human and material resources for a song!
The West, East and Middle East are now competing to exploit Africa, it is our corrupt and incompetent leaders are facilitating the exploitation!
Indeed, the dictators and tyrants have often complained of interferences if their tyrannical oppression is exposed and blamed foreigners for their nation's grinding poverty and human suffering. For dictators like Mnangagwa the sanctions imposed by the West have been blamed for all the nation's problems.

Nelson Chamisa has stubbornly refused to account for MDC/CCC leaders' failure to implement even one token democratic reform in the last 25 years including 5 GNU years, they participation in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the people's suffering out of greed and Chamisa's blatant lying to con people to participate in the flawed elections. Chamisa has now given his explanation: "Don't judge me on old or now. Judge me on the new testament to come!"
This is both arrogant and foolish - arrogant in that the nation is paying dearly for his failures and treasonous betrayal and he has the cheeky to consider himself above democratic accountability. People are accountable for what they have done or failed to do and not what they may or may not do in the future.
Chamisa and his MDC/CCC fiends are Zanu PF team B in all but name; they have played for team A to win and have legitimacy. They MUST be held to account for it - that is not negotiable and never was.

When Mnangagwa took over from Mugabe in 2017 he rebranded Zimbabwe a Second Republic to escape being asked to account for what happened in 1980 to 2017. He wanted to have nothing to do with what happened then although a very senior Zanu PF leaders throughout these turbulent years.
He promised to stamp out corruption and to hold free elections and has failed to keep any of these promises and does not want to be held to account for the period 2017 to present. He has move the goal post he is promising to deliver vision 2030 but does not want us to pointing out that he has failed to deliver economic progress in the last eight years, the mile-stone to prove there is progress.
So we are only to held Mnangagwa to account in 2030 when he will no longer be eligible to hold office! What an insult!
Zimbabwe is a failed state because we have failed to hold our leaders to account these last 45 years. This must end here and now. All leaders must be accountable for what they have done and failed to do - they cannot cherry pick some periods and leave out others. And that is NOT negotiable!
Let's unpack the War Veterans Stand Scheme.
This is a comprehensive plan for an institutionally resilient support structure for War Veterans. This is the full wrap for our men and women who serve and have served Zimbabwe.
The War Veterans Stand Scheme
will provide 50,000 households with properly serviced stands with properly tarred road, clean water as well as proper sewer system.
This is part of our government's plan to spur properly equipped stand ownership , accelerating our goal to attaining universal access to decent accommodation for all, including war veterans.
So it has taken 45 years since independence for government to provide 50 000 households with properly serviced stands.
We know that 50% 0f our people are living in abject poverty and so 1 000 000 households will be looking to government to provide them too with served stands. Even at an accelerated rate of 50 000 stands per year it will take another 20 years!
The truth government should provide the environment to allow economic prosperity instead of presiding over the country’s economic melt down. The people would be building decent homes for themselves if the economy was doing well and not rely on government handouts!
As long as Zimbabwe remains a pariah state ruled by corrupt and vote rigging thugs, there will be no meaningful economic recovery and millions will continue to live in abject poverty.
@ And
Did Khupe con 2 million Zimbabweans to participate in flawed 2023 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the dictatorship and the nation’s suffering?
Why are you defending Chamisa? is it because you are one of the millions who believed his idiotic lie and cannot admit it because doing so would confirm you are an idiot?
Well I will not be silenced by an idiot. Never! And so I will repeat it: Chamisa is corrupt, incompetent and a liar. As for you, you are a certified village idiot.
It is a tragedy that a garden slug like you has a vote! Both Zanu PF and MDC/CCC are in power today because of idiots like you who have failed to grasp the sheer futility of participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy, give Chamisa & Co. a few gravy train seats and perpetuating their own suffering. And to you, all those who have warned of the folly are public enemies. Fcuk me!
You participated in the 2023 elections knowing fully well that Zanu PF was rigging and that participating will give the regime legitimacy. Still you went ahead because you also knew that Zanu PF gives a way a few gravy train seats and that is all you cared about. Even when SADC and AU condemned the 2023 election process as flawed and illegal you still took up your Mount Pleasant MP seat!
You are already on the campaign trail, you will participate in the 2028 elections no matter how flawed and illegal that process might be out of greed. You are criticising the regime at every turn just to stay in the political lime-light!
MDC/CCC leaders are Zanu PF team B, playing for team A to win and have legitimacy.
What Zimbabwe needs are voters who will open their eyes and see MDC/CCC leaders for the sellout they are and are smart enough to elect opposition leaders who will implement the bloody reforms. Only then can the nation finally put an end to this curse of rigged elections and bad governance.
@ Chipeneti
Do the opposition supporters, who participated in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy time and time again because they believed Chamisa’s idiotic lies of plugging all vote rigging loop hole, also “LOVE Zimbabwe”?
The people who have kept Zanu PF in power these last 25 years is not just the foolish Zanu PF supporters but the MDC/CCC leaders who are Zanu PF team B in all but name playing for team A to win and have legitimacy. Together with the MDC/CCC supporters who have participated in the flawed elections because they believed Chamisa’s idiotic lies.
Even now with the benefit of hindsight, the brain dead idiots will not admit Chamisa is a liar. He is waiting to con them to participate in 2028 and they will be fuming and frothing blaming Zanu PF supporters for everything! How naive!
@ Sammabvuu
Did CCC offer you a way forward when they conned millions to participate in flawed elections in 2013, 2018 and 2023? They are gearing to repeat this in 2028, that is the point!
Stop participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy because you believed the idiotic lies of opposition winning rigged elections, especially after 45 years of Zanu PF rigging elections!
You are defending Mahere because you want to participate in the flawed 2028 elections. Nhamo inenharo!
@ Rumbie
And yet the fact remains, MDC/CCC leaders are Zanu PF team B in all but name and you are too stupid to see it or too stupid to admit it. Which is which is a matter of indifference!
@ commander
“Can u come and register your own party it sound like u are genuine u can win elections against zvigananda plz come to the ground.”
It is not so much about having a new political party, there were no fewer than 130 in 2018 elections, that did not stop the nation commit the cardinal folly of participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuating the nation’s suffering. As long as the electorate are so ignorant, naive and gullible they are easily conned into believing idiotic lies of the opposition winning rigged elections; nothing will change! Nothing!
Indeed, most of the new political parties we see are of individuals who are not interested in educating the electorate and rescue them and the nation from ignorance and naivety. They are individuals fighting for a share of the gravy train seats on offer as bait from Zanu PF.
@ Samabvuu
So you think boycotting by-elections is more important that boycotting national elections condemned by both SADC and AU? Common sense is not common, that is clear!
@ Mutusva
So you are the smart one who knows all about plans! What plan did Chamisa have when he conned millions to participate in 2018 and then 2023?
I am not asking you or anyone to vote for me, there are those in the opposition will going to participate in 2028, what plans have they produced?
This is not about any plan or way forward. This is about doing anything to silence criticism of Chamisa. He did not produce any plans in the past nor does he have one for 2028. You just do not want him held to account for that and so you demand a plan from me!
Chamisa is a public official, I am not. He sold out on reforms and must be held to account for it - that is not negotiable.
@ Udelile
It happened and it must be dealt with, those responsible for the conning must be held to account and those who were foolish to be so easily conned must acknowledge their foolishness. Sweeping the problem under the carpet will not stop it happening again!
There is nothing to suggest Chamisa is not going to con millions to participate in 2028 and repeat the same folly of giving Zanu PF legitimacy. Nothing!
Indeed, the nincompoops are fuming and frothing that anyone is even referring to MDC/CCC leaders being Zanu PF team B in all but name, playing for team A to win and have legitimacy. They are always in a hurry to move on. We should never allow ourselves to be bullied and bamboozled by nincompoops.
After 45 years of rigged elections, we must make sure Zanu PF does not rig 2028 elections or get away with it if they do!

CAN ZIMBABWE EVER RECOVER FROM THE ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL CRISIS WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF RIGGED ELECTIONS AND BAD GOVERNANCE?
@ Lady Ropa Roo
“Zimbabwe new constitution is a result of pressure for reforms from the opposition. it is through this constitution that opposition fought for the independence of electoral body, establishment of national anti corruption body, the independence of security services, judiciary etc. opposition did its part. the issue of enforcing this constitution, opposition has no power for that. unless you wish opposition to hire mercenaries to force Mnangagwa to comply with this constitution 🤷🏼🤷🏼
Why blaming opposition for the mutilation and failure to respect the constitution by Mnangagwa.”
If the new constitution delivered an independent electoral body then why did it fail to deliver free, fair and credible elections? The new constitution was approved in the March 2013 referendum and the elections were held four months later in July 3013!
The people approved that constitution on the basis of appearances. Many prominent sections of the constitution explicitly called for an independent electoral body. The regime made a big song and dance about it. The regime added a few clauses, well concealed, whose purpose was to take away all those things give the electoral body its independence.
ZEC failed to deliver free, fair and credible elections in 2013, before the constitution was even amended because ZEC was never independent. Never! The 2013 constitution was never a democratic constitution. Never! MP Paul Mangwana boasted that Mugabe dictated the constitution and it shows!
It was not surprising the people approved the new constitution, they have no head for detail and hence the reason why they are so easily conned again and again. They have paid no attention to the need to implement democratic reforms because they still believe the 2013 constitutions is a democratic one and it will deliver free and fair elections.
Chamisa & Co. have made a career of conning Zimbabwean into participating in flawed elections on the basis of idiotic promises they have “plugged all Zanu PF vote rigging loop holes. #Godisinit!” Both Zanu PF and MDC/CCC leaders have cashed in on the people failure to comprehend any beyond the grade one 1 + 1 = 2 stuff.
“Why blaming opposition for the mutilation and failure to respect the constitution by Mnangagwa.” How naive! Chamisa helped Mnangagwa get away with rigging the election by conning people to participate in the flawed elections on the basis of an idiotic lie that he had plugged Mnangagwa’s vote rigging loop holes. What will it take for this simple reality to finally sink in! Fcuk me!
The tragedy for Zimbabwe is that nincompoops with no clue what is going on have been given the voice and the vote. 45 years after independence we are still failing to hold free and fair elections because we have millions of voters who do not even know what constitute free and fair elections!
@ Ropa Lady Roo
“Yea opposition leaders are sellouts making wealth whilst majority is suffering. Both our leaders in Zanu pf and opposition have no care for the people. Recently Bridget Nyandoro was very open that all these leaders are representing their families, not voters. What Zimbabwe needs is a new movement with new faces in politics.”
So there are some simple realities that even you cannot deny! And yet you still continue to follow blindly the the sellout and lying MDC/CCC leaders, deny their treasonous betrayal and even worship them as demigods! How nauseating is that!
@ Evangelist
“Very true.
As of now, we don't have an Opposition party in Zimbabwe.”
Having a formal opposition party is not important. What matters here is that two millions will be conned to participating in another flawed 2028 election to give Zanu Pf legitimacy and perpetuate the dictatorship as has happened countless times!
What matters here is that there ARE millions of brain dead voters who are easily conned to participate in flawed elections to perpetuate the dictatorship. Having brain dead voters is bad enough but couple that with predatory political elite preying on the people’s ignorance and you have the mother of curses!
Like it or not, we are stuck with these corrupt, incompetent and murderous Zanu PF thugs complete with their equally corrupt and useless MDC/CCC side-kicks as long as there is the pool of brain dead to be conned and perpetuate the dictatorship. It is ironic that many of the brain dead are the urban voters and those in the diaspora, men and women with 11 years of formal education, many with university degrees and professional qualifications!
@ SaMaka
The personality cult mentality is is so strong in some people they worship their leaders. You will never ever understand the difference between holding a leader to account and hatred! Chamisa is a leader and per se accountable to the people, you can call it what you like but that is NOT negotiable!
