This looks more like a door to door campaign of a candidate who will relinquish power if they lose an election. The press conference after the results announcement was the icing on the cake @CyrilRamaphosa
The 'sun' from Zim can't 'did it.' 🤣

What does the OPC have to say about the (9) Zimbabweans who were arrested in SA while enroute to Russia to fight in the war since ED was recently there and is expected to have addressed this issue? @Jamwanda2 @nickmangwana @zenzele

#LetFreedomSing You Already Have an Advantage by Brian Tamuka Kagoro
Allow me to tell those that derive joy from weaponizing laws and law enforcement apparatus to quash legitimate and democratic dissent and those who revel in using crude violence to inflict pain and suffering on folks simply demanding respect for the constitution....One Day , some day soon , very soon ...You will need us to invoke on your behalf the very same constitutional provisions and protections that you have wanton disregard for . When you have become vulnerable and power has evaporated from your grasp , the only thing likely to protect your rights and interests is the very law that you habitually mutilate and force judges , magistrates , police and others to ignore with impunity.
You may never have imagined this , but there are Others out there who are capable of greater cruelty than you . God forbid that you fall into their vengeful hands . For your sake , I hope that you do not reap 30 , 60 and 100-fold the brutality that you have sown over the years . It would be such an irony for the Scripture that says "Give , and it shall be given back to you , a good measure ,pressed down ,shaken together , and running over shall men give unto your bossom" , let alone the one that says : "With the measure that you give, so shall you receive". Are you ready to receive ' a good measure , pressed down , shake together and running over" of all the unpleasantness, cruelty , and unfairness that you have so generously been dishing out to others ?
Unfortunately, I suspect , innocent people around you are likely to suffer because of their association with you .I beg you , govern with grace , and exercise power with humility...after all you already possess the advantage of power ...why abuse it ?
A special bow out to @Cristiano the #GOAT for a career that leaves an indelible mark on the international football arena.
A role model for future footballing greats.

$300K is enough to build such a school in Zimbabwe. If you are in power for 10 years, each year you can set aside $18 million for a school in each of the 60 rural districts. In 10 yrs you would have built 600 schools. Enough to cover our deficit and more!

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.
These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first.
We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy.
While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.
Why is @ZimCricketv not participating at the @HongKongSixes tournament? We need more of our lads getting serious exposure at the highest level. @kwirirayi @Merovaeous

You will be surprised that some shitty government leaders at the Russia-Africa summit will be willing to take up this offer to put their citizens on the guillotine. @zenzele

This is today's American leader 🤣🤣🤣
After listening to former President Barack Obama last night, we are then subjected to this drivel today. America has truly gone down the tubes and into the sewer.
Is this really the leader of the once great America? 🤣🤣🤣
Talking about Nicki Minaj's backside at a rally, at a time when his senseless war in Iran has sent oil prices soaring and fuelled inflation across the world 🤣🤣🤣
The recent pronouncement or resolution by @ZANUPF_Official to second public sector jobs to its members is as good as proclaiming that Zimbabwe is now Zanu PF & a blatant disregard of the constitutional republic our country should be.
The arrogance is out of the door @Leokoni

mawetera likened delegates who cheered General Chiwenga to dogs that must be beaten—and ED-aligned delegates applauded.
If ZANU-PF can publicly humiliate its VP and liberation-war commander, what respect can it have for ordinary citizens?
The rot took the mic—& received applause!

Exiled critic of Rwandan president found beheaded bbc.in/3TKimdt
The fact that a project of such national importance was called a "dhiri" tells you how these charlatans see Zimbabwe as their personal fiefdom.
G6 lifts the lid on the Gwanda solar deal!
At the funeral of his late brother, businessman Wicknell Chivayo’s brother, Joachim “G6” Chivayo, revealed how he allegedly sold his cars and raised US$220,000 after being told the controversial Gwanda solar project had been secured.
G6 claimed Wicknell later told him the deal had paid out US$5 million, and he expected to receive US$1 million as his share.
But things allegedly took a different turn. G6 said Wicknell stopped answering his calls while splashing money on luxury cars and international trips.
When he finally confronted him, G6 claimed Wicknell said the money was finished and offered him a US$400,000 car instead.
G6 said the experience showed that his late brother’s “hustling mentality” extended even to family.
What really happened to the Gwanda solar money?
Read CITE’s investigations into the stalled Gwanda solar project and the collapse of the legal case against the contractor.

Alongside the counterfeit prophets, Zimbabwe has cultivated an entire ecosystem of dubious characters whose fortunes appear less connected to productive enterprise than to proximity to power. They do not exist as isolated individuals; they are nodes within a wider architecture of State patronage, privilege and political connectivity.
This is perhaps the more uncomfortable truth about the much-celebrated narrative of record gold exports. Gold may leave the ground in record quantities, and the statistics may be proudly reproduced across the State media, but the deeper question is what happens to the wealth after extraction.
A nation can export record quantities of gold and yet remain materially poor if the resulting wealth is continually converted into private luxuries for a narrow circle of politically connected beneficiaries. In that sense, the problem is not simply corruption; it is the conversion of national productive wealth into private status and consumption through networks of patronage.
The tragedy is philosophical as much as economic: a country's natural resources become a means of enriching those closest to the machinery of power, while the population is left to admire the statistics of prosperity that never quite become prosperity in their own lives.
The gold is real. The exports are real. The wealth is real. What remains questionable is who ultimately owns the economic value created by the nation’s resources, and who merely owns the political connections through which that value is redistributed.
