1)Zimbabwe is in the middle of a structural economic crises characterized by poverty ,disequilibrium, high inflation,an exchange rate crises& total collapse of public services.For the third time in 20 years Zim is in the middle of yet another self induced recession created by .. 
2)…high borrowing costs ,relentless inflation & a squeeze on government payments to contractors. The seismic headwinds required boldness honesty &brinkmanship Sadly the #Budget2023 presented today was a banal self serving ritual in narcissism&power retention excesses , months
3) …before the 2023 election. An honest budget ought to have been presented in US$.After-all more than half of government taxes are now being collected in US$.This would then have allowed civil servants to be paid in US$ .This would also have required Gvt to simply dollarize
There is a serious inflation spike around with prices imploding in the past few days.The RBZ s squeeze on supply &availability of the Zim$ &RTGS is pushing prices to go up in US$ terms.There is total rejection of local currency & distorted de-dollarization is causing inflation
The rejection of the local dollar is universal &the regime itself is the greatest underminer of its own currencyFor instance SI 16 of 22 👇published this week sets new passport fees in US$.Truth is de-dollarization has failed . Truth is Mthuli& #ZANU have failed in absolute terms
The management of the economy will be a central issue in the 2023 election as in the 26 March by election. Contra to #ZANU we will re-dollarise&float the Zim$. Pensions&public wages will be in US$ . Further we will scrap export surrender requirements.We are the hope @CCCZimbabwe
In the afternoon I pulled down a tweet made in connection with ProfMaduku’s interpretation of section 96(2) of the constitution.The context of that tweet is explained below. Clearly in my banter with Lovemore , whom I have known for over 20 years & worked with very closely ...
...in the law , in the struggle & in personal spaces I overlooked the huge extent of the fragile national question marginalization alienation and exclusion of certain communities in Zimbabwe.I have lived with this discrimination & exclusion throughout my life. I have recently ..
...seen this isolation & disillusionment on our recent visit to Chilonga. Chipinge is no different. Ironically like Chiredzi it was part of the Gaza State established by Soshangaan &his descendant Ngungunyana With the fall of the Gaza State colonial Rhodesia plundered Gazaland
1] The continued corroboration of state institutions & the #Mwonzora led faction of the MDC-T is quite exposing.
On a day where the #PeoplesAdvocate @adv_fulcrum is appearing in court & Parly is resuming, with news of recalls of MDC-A MPs, Harare is on lockdown during lockdown.

2] How can you deny the regime's underhand in this issue when #Mwonzora et al, are finding it easy to by-pass all roadblocks from Harare to Humanikwa?
Which essential service are they offering?
No wait, anything that is anti-Chamisa is actually an essential service in Zimbabwe.

3] The big question would then be why ZanuPF would be more comfortable with #Mwonzora as Leader of the Opposition?
If he is #mature, does it then follow that maturity was lacking in the #Opposition and equally so in #ZanuPF that the State wants to utilize #Mwonzora's maturity?

The #ZanzibarRevolution was a “lumpen uprising” that was given leadership and strategic direction by the radical socialist / PanAfricanist Umma People’s Party led by #AbdulrahmanBabu. Source: jpanafrican.org/docs/vol1no9/A… #Babu #EastAfrica #BritishColonialism
1) The power situation can be resolved immediately by any decent caring & competent gvt . As a matter of urgency the regime should scrap the fuel subsidy to #Sakunda & #Trafigura & use that to guarantee importation of at least 400 MW of energy .
2) Secondly @ZetdcOfficial must levy & collect charges in US$ to guarantee permanent imports .If this is done it’s only fair & logical that energy consumers must also levy their labor ,services & goods in US$. Thirdly there must a be a scientific &systematic push to green energy
3)Fourth there must be resolution of the country sovereign debt crises to enable access to cheap funds held particularly at the World Bank & African Development Bank . Development Finance key & necessary to fund major infrastructure energy projects.
