Political Commentator:
Chairperson Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition
Gen Sec: Zim Banks & Allied Workers Union
Fmr President of Zim Congress of Trade Unions
Am on my way to Europe to attend a Trade Union Congress. I will be given three minutes to talk abt my experience as a trade unionists in Zim
Varakashi tell me what l should say
Are trade unionists not being abducted,arrested,tortured?
Was l not poisoned
@daddyhope
continues
Today l learnt a good lesson from
@nelsonchamisa
on destroying the divide between "them" (grassroots) & "us"(leaders)
There is a growing revolutionary practice in
@CCCZimbabwe
where he has managed to bring in a new culture where leaders & members seat together & no VIP tents
You can’t lock someone up at Chikurubi prison
And make sure that the law is bent to ensure that he doesn’t get bail
Then you turn around and attempt to push the blame on his colleagues who did not imprison him
Do you think all people are fools 🤔
#FreeWiwa
@CCCZimbabwe
If everything was okay in Zimbabwe as
@KMutisi
says
Then
@KMutisi
would be back from South Africa and teaching at Great Zimbabwe University or Nust as a patriot of note
Why are the patriots running away from a good country and developing other countries?
ALERT
A gang saying are policeman have visited my home just now. Having failed to see me at home, they tried to force my relatives into their car.
They wanted them to show them where l am.
My family is in danger and panic.
@ZctuZimbabwe

@NewsDayZimbabwe
Humility and humbleness in acknowledging one’s past mistakes should make
@DrThoko_Khupe
great
I wish her success , she has done what many of us can not do
This is the young leadership
@Cde_Ostallos
that the
dictatorship is denying us
I wish to be led by such clear & knowledgeable young leaders
All l want is to have a normal life, working and earning decent wages
Then retire and earn a decent pension
Is this too much to ask?
One thing that baffles me in Zimbabwean politics is when ZANU PF supporters attempt to advise the opposition
@CCCZimbabwe
.
When known ZANU PF supporters even become angry about CCC internal decisions
Even more angrier than the CCC supporters & sympathizers
Baffling indeed
MPs , Senators and Councilors who are under Tshabangu and ZANU PF control must remain in Parliament & Council
Those who are for the people must withdraw
That is how it should be in my view
My background in trade union prioritizes SOLIDARITY over personal considerations
Zimbabwe lets appreciate detective Kheda
He is doing a good job arresting thieves in Harare thereby helping very vulnerable citizens that are targeted
👏👏👏
Take away everything else but acknowledge his and their incredible ability to organize and mobilize
It is only those who are jealousy who do not accept this reality
Some are already looking for English phrases to deny this reality
It is a moment for Nelson Chamisa
Strategic Ambiguity worked
It helped
@CCCZimbabwe
to fight in a closed space
It produced very impressive electoral results even under the most unfair conditions
It exposed the opponents of the struggle those many thought were comrades
That is not failure, it succeeded
Whoever is benefiting through ZUPCO monopoly don't do this to citizens
These are workers who work over 8 hours, some while standing
Then they come to stand again in the cold in the rain and in the sun for another 3 hours.
Why?
#BlackFridayProtests
All other parties must be failing to find a match that can compete with this team.
Eloquence, clarity, innovation, brains, charisma etc
Everything you need in a spokesperson is found in
@advocatemahere
and in
@Cde_Ostallos
Now they are a combination, who can match them?
POLAD Scandal
People who can't even field even one candidate for a ward as councilor get
Brand new vehicles
Reported to have received farms
Give me a reason why this is not a scandal.
There has been a white Toyota vehicle that has been coming to my house for two days
First day the occupants just parked outside at night but yesterday they looked for me and even asked some neighbors about the whereabouts of my kids
They promised to come back last night
While anyone can criticize Chamisa
I find it ludicrous for other OPPOSITION LEADERS infact presidents of their parties criticizing Chamisa for not doing enough
Why can’t they take advantage of their political opponent’s laxity & show all how it’s done & get to state house?
1/5 Any real opposition leader in a difficult political environment like Zimbabwe must have strong spiritual support .
Many times we ignore the mental health of people at the front fighting against a brutal Dictatorship
If the motive is to recover financial losses?
How about those who
Died
Were abducted and tortured
Whose homes were destroyed
Lost employment
Forced out of the country
And many others who faced different afflictions
How will they be repaid as they are not MPs?
Many souls are venting their anger at Nelson Chamisa
A visitor would think that this Nelson Chamisa is the country’s President and responsible for
1) Demolitions of homes
2) 95% devaluation of the ZWL
3) Highest inflation in the world
4) Poor salaries
5) Looting
Of all the scheming
The only thing that they never budgeted for was Chamisa pulling out of CCC
They are running everywhere like headless chickens 🤣🤣🤣
Even some who call themselves analysts are revising previous positions 😳
One strategy l see as important for the opposition
@CCCZimbabwe
to win coming elections, is to win the ZANU PF regular & elderly supporters
In my view this can be attained by using family set ups. It is only family members ,their children & grand children who can convince them
The relationship between Chamisa and some collegues is that of Host & Parasites
The parasites have no life outside the host. They live by drinking the blood of the host
At some point the Host must get in the Diptank and remove the fever ticks
This is unavoidable
Are you aware
@Zinasuzim
is shutting down all universities and colleges on 9 May protesting high cost of education
Many students are from the poor working class whose parents are earning nothing
Many are dropping out
Please spread the message and let's support our children.
1) There is a new wave of calls for UNITY of the “opposition”
This must not be accepted
There can not be unity without a clear understanding of what caused the disunity in the first place
That will be counter productive and a recipe for future turmoils and deceit
Why is that people who are on top of praising ZANU PF government are either living outside Zimbabwe or foreigners
Why are they not comfortable staying home and enjoy the progress they preach ?
Post those you know and we ask them
Never think that you can be in power forever
Edgar Lungu treated
@HHichilema
badly during his reign
Fortunately he is not vindictive and has allowed Lungu to carry on with his life
Zimbabwean rulers must learn from these experiences
Can someone lecture to us about freedom of expression:
Facts:
When Nelson Chamisa is criticized daily the people criticizing him are said to be exercising freedom of expression
When his supporters criticize opinions of those criticizing Chamisa they are said to be toxic
I think we never appreciated Itai sufficiently
He courageously led without forcing anyone to pursue his convictions
He never called those who did not follow his strategies names
May there be closure to this hero’s sad enforced disappearance
Don’t attack
@advocatemahere
Attack poverty, corruption, dictatorship & poor governance
All she said is correct
That is how your party has destroyed Zimbabwe
If you don’t want the world to know you as such then reform
Release political prisoners
@JobSikhala1
,
@jngarivhume
We only have one real opposition at the moment
It is a fact we all must work with
We only have one opposition leader at the moment
A fact we must work with
Varakashi didn’t know that they were working for the white man all these years
They spent years lambasting the whites yet they were being paid by the whites
That is why one white man call them DUNDERHEADS
So after being disrupted and failing to abduct me, they went to the car park where l park and punctured all the tyres.
They obviously wanted to immobilize me because they then came back in a white quantum and faked to be lost and seeking directions.
@ZctuZimbabwe
@ZLHRLawyers
The problem is the DICTATORSHIP
Chamisa or
@CCCZimbabwe
are not the problem
Failure to identify the problem is the first step towards failure
There is no formula of removing a Dictatorship
They are removed in different and at times unexpected ways
Aluta Continua
I will never support sellouts of the people’s struggle
Those who in pursuit of personal benefits and power causes the people to lose hard fought for constituencies through senseless recalls
And in the process caused the death of pastor Masaya
Ndimi makauraya
We want to see the PATRIOTIC Ministers, Deputy Minister, MPs and Permanent Secretaries in ZUPCO queues
Your patriotism shouldn't be by word
Government officials must be proud to use the public services they provide for citizens
@nickmangwana
@InfoMinZW
I am listening to the discussion involving the Cowdray Park candidate
@pashor_sibanda
on
@citezw
He is a clear and eloquent young man
His thought process is quite impressive
Workers in Cowdray Park should vote for him and shame the man causing workers suffering
@MthuliNcube
We have to accept that one person who always predicts events in Zimbabwe politics is

Dear ZEC
I wish to advise you that we will contest the 2022 by elections & 2023 general elections under Movement For Democratic CHANGE
We are the owners of CHANGE & any of its synonyms &no one should use CHANGE without our permission
Yours
????
Guess who is drafting this
The biggest political story around
#Zim2023Elections
is how the opposition managed to resurrect after the onslaught by the ZANU PF government.
After the Supreme Court ruling and the state assisted Mwonzora take over, a few expected
@nelsonchamisa
to rise & challenge ZANU again
University of Zimbabwe can not be allowed to charge over USD 1300 per semester for tuition and accommodation
It is now cheaper to send kids to Zambia or South Africa for tertiary education
The government can't take away our kids' remaining poor education as well
Zimbabweans supported South Africans struggle against apartheid
We were all united in demanding the freedom of South Africans
What makes South Africa’s leaders support repression of Zimbabweans?
What is the motive ?
I think ZANU PF realized that its social media brigades/Varakashi were not able 2 gain followers
It must have changed the strategy & allowed them to fake being opposition supporters or sympathizers in order to gain followers
Then revert to their mission once they have numbers
Some people support ZANUPF and It’s presidential candidate ED
But they can not openly do so because they are aware of its failures
They are embarrassed to be associated with it
They then indirectly support it through castigating CCC and raising false equivalency claims
What will it take for all CCC councilors and MPs to withdraw from Parliament and Council ?
If the recalled candidates are barred from contesting in by-elections the other councilors and MPs may have no reason to remain in these chambers.
The Emperor is now fully naked
SAVE was a strong man
It is extreme difficult to be a genuine opposition leader in this country
Is there anything that some analysts will ever say Nelson Chamisa got it right?
They advise him one thing today only to turn around & blame him for following their advice tomorrow

1/4 Media Alert
Robert Muwawa is still missing since Wednesday lunch hour
He was leading a strike at Strauss Logistics as Workers Committee Secretary
He was last seen at the company at lunch hour
He had received calls from someone called Assistant Inspector Mutema
“No Elections Without 12 Bulawayo MPs “
This is the best message coming from the opposition
We must never allow the government or ruling party to disenfranchise a whole tribe
Everyone must enjoy political rights
Guess
1) He is checking in Harare's Five star hotel
2) A good mukwasha visiting in laws with goodies?
3) Visiting his client
@OMasaraure
in Zimbabwean prison?
Like for 1
Retweet For 2
Type
#FreeObert
for 3
I think the biggest advantages that
@CCCZimbabwe
holds currently are
1) Unpredictability
It has managed to surprise both foes and friends by its actions or inaction
2) lndependent
It has maintained independence from external influences
That has protected it up to now
Anyone involved in donating seats to the dictatorship enabling it to do as it pleases in Parliament must never be accommodated in the people’s struggles
Their actions nomatter whatever grievances they had with anyone can never be justified
Innocent people were even killed
The dictatorship will not be defeated by an opposition party alone
All sectors have to play their role
When playing our role , we need not believe we are better than all other sectors
We need to appreciate that our contributions are just part of the whole

He did not lose
Conceding in African politics is victory
Democracy and the people of Liberia have won because they elected a President George Weah who was willing to respect democracy
Well done George
Fair play is hallmark of sportsmanship
Workers in Cowdray Park
Here is your MP
@pashor_sibanda
Vote him overwhelmingly in order to send a clear message to Prof Mthuli Ncube
It is Mthuli Ncube’s policies that have made workers suffer with
Low wages
Lost pensions
High prices of food and services
High poverty
ZANU PF must learn to forgive and forget
They can't seek to impute the sins of one goat that pulled down its posters in protest to all goats.
Including Anti Corruption GOATs like
@daddyhope
What Nelson Chamisa is facing right now
He is fighting dictatorship only with one hand
Because the other hand is busy trying to keep away the oppressed who are fighting him
My view is since some are convinced that he has failed,now that he has stepped aside they shld lead
After the Mwonzora recalls and the capture of the MDC Alliance
@CCCZimbabwe
must be careful about it’s selection
LOYALTY must be the biggest selection factor
There is less room for experimentation , the times are bad and the opponent brazenly corrupt
Beware of Cooptation
Maybe l am wrong
But l think nomatter what , no one must use the unfortunate case of Job Sikhala to score political points in political exchanges .
It appears disrespectful to the Sikhala family who are facing a difficult situation.
I wouldn’t want cdes to do so if it was me
Thanking my gracious Lord for the gift of life
Another year added in service of God and man
Like many of my peers who grew up in the rural l always forget about it until friends and relatives send good wishes
Thank you cdes for the good wishes
It takes courage and conviction to stand for what is right and in solidarity with the oppressed.
Many choose comfort, protection and trinkets from those in power.
Those who choose to stand with the people must be saluted
