There is a fascinating game going on within the oligarchs- competing amongst themselves. Car dealers are having the time of their lives as oligarchs fall over each other buying patronage. This will inevitably ends in tears. Study history throughout the world and it shows us that this behavior has happened before elsewhere and it never has a happy ending.

The argument for moving the voters' roll from ZEC to the Registrar-General belongs to a pre-digital era. In 2026, databases can communicate seamlessly. The Registrar-General can provide civic records to ZEC electronically without transferring ownership or control of the voters' roll. If the objective is data access, technology solves that problem. If the objective is something else, Zimbabweans deserve an honest conversation about it. Leave voter registration and the voters' roll with ZEC, where the Constitution intended it to be. #DefendTheConstitution #CAB3

This might be small to others but knowing this guy and where we came from haaaaaa this is huge. We learnt at the same primary school and he was my senior and friend kwainzi kuMatandamaviri or Nyahombe. We built that school using bricks from an abandoned colonialist's home. Our role models were Resettlement Officers nana Mudhumeni because they had motorbikes. That was before his brother who was a teacher bought chi Golf. Vamwe vachienda kundokanya zvidhinha isu tainosuka chiGolf & chiDatsun cha teacher Maname. He always laughed at me because I could not speak proper Chikaranga as I had lived kuDangamvura where I did my creche. He also taught me to play tennis. Yes, ikoko kusango we actually had a clay tennis and basketball court because our headmaster Mdara Kahle had a black & white TV and loved some dude called Larry Bird and Borris Becker. One of Jamie's duties was kukwidza flag pa mutaro (assembly). Dude knew how to time it. Then, we used to sing Ishe Komborerai Africa. I can still visualize him marching proudly from the flag pole back to the crowd. I so wished to take over from him. When he left the school I was made the flag boy for one day & I was demoted immediately after I introduced a new kind of marching. We later reconnected in the early 2000s in Chitungwiza takuita zve MDC before he left for UK. So it is nice knowing where we have come from to see him being noticed and honored in faraway lands. I so wish all these brains could one day coalesce in Zimbabwe & rebuild that country.... Hameno!

Gold has usually been safe against inflation, however that has not been the case since the US and Israel launched a war against Iran. What are the factors causing the depreciation of gold, and will gold be reliable again after the war? ⤵️ aje.news/pd1uav

Until 🇿🇼 🏏 take some action on the leadership of the U19 side, development of cricket in 🇿🇼 is going to be compromised. There is one player who is single handedly unravelling the 🇿🇼 U19 structures and was not allowed to rake part earlier this year. When family members of the board are selected, expect scrutiny. When that player is clearly not up to standard, expect even more. 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

Elon Musk: There are no lords and peasants at Tesla. Everyone eats at the same table. “I actually know the people on the line, because I worked on the line, I walked the line, I slept in the factory, and I worked beside them. So, I'm no stranger to them. There are many people at Tesla who have gone from working on the line to being in senior management. There are no lords and peasants. Everyone eats at the same table. Everyone parks in the same parking lot. At GM, there's a special elevator only for senior executives. We have no such thing at Tesla. We give everyone stock options. Many people who are just working the line, who didn't even know what stocks were, we've made them millionaires. And I just want to say that I'm incredibly appreciative of those who build the cars, and they know it.” New York Times DealBook Summit, 2023

Prison is a very dark place, it taints the soul and has all intention to break the spirit. Prison in Zimbabwe punishes, the body, family and deprives life opportunities. It’s not correctional- it’s a weapon nothing else. @Zinasuzim stand strong.

If #CAB3 is so popular, why is there a need to bribe MPs to support it? The reality is that the bill is unpopular in both Parliament and among citizens. #CAB3 is dead—the regime is desperately offering trinkets to revive it, but it remains dead and buried. #RejectCAB3

CITIZENS Don't Want It— Opposition MPs Oppose CAB 3 MPs Mount Strong Opposition to Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 Opposition politicians, activists, and civil society groups have intensified their campaign against the proposed Constitutional Amendment Bill Number 3, commonly known as CAB3, describing it as a threat to Zimbabwe’s democracy and constitutional order. Speaking during parliamentary debates on the Bill, several legislators voiced strong objections, arguing that the proposed amendments fail to address the country’s pressing socio-economic challenges, including unemployment, low wages, deteriorating public services, and corruption. Among those opposing the Bill was Honourable Gladys Hlatshwayo, who said the legislation suffers from both procedural and substantive shortcomings. She argued that unlike the 2013 Constitution, which emerged from an inclusive and bipartisan process, CAB3 lacks broad national consensus and should therefore be rejected in its entirety. Other legislators, including Honourable Ropafadzo Makumire, questioned the relevance of the proposed amendments at a time when many young Zimbabweans are struggling to find employment and make ends meet. Critics maintain that national priorities should focus on economic recovery and improving living standards rather than constitutional changes. Former MP Joana Mamombe also weighed in on the debate, expressing concern over what she described as attempts to undermine democratic institutions and processes. Meanwhile, President Nelson Chamisa praised contributions made by MP Mureri during the parliamentary debate, arguing that the proposed Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 presents a constitutional conflict by potentially benefiting current office holders. Chamisa described the Bill as fundamentally flawed and maintained that any attempt to extend terms of office without broad public approval would face resistance from Zimbabweans Opponents of the Bill have called for greater public awareness campaigns, urging citizens to engage in discussions about the implications of the proposed amendments. They argue that any significant constitutional changes should reflect the will of the people through broad consultation and democratic participation. Meanwhile, supporters of the anti-CAB3 campaign insist that Zimbabweans have consistently voiced opposition to the Bill and have called for its withdrawal. Debate over Constitutional Amendment Bill Number 3 continues both inside and outside Parliament, with the issue expected to remain a key point of political discussion in the months ahead.
