@ercafrica The lesson is unconstitutional transfer of power puts us on the slippery slope to anarchy. Admittedly, we have a de facto government. How do we step back to the right track instead of descending further? We must #FixTheFoundation What does this mean?
1. Parties in parliament must do their work on political & electoral reform.
2. Government must embark on a national cohesion project based on the rule of law & common values
3. Citizens must make holding leaders to account a natural & daily habit based on constitutional values
At the same time, government must pursue sound economic policy. This means
1. Policy certainty for all, including investors
2. Genuine crackdown on corruption, especially illicit financial outflows
3. Equitable share of national wealth to promote inclusion. Develop all regions
Our nation will turn around on the path to prosperity when citizens feel they have a fair shot at life, do not have to struggle in a culture of bribery for services and can debate, then vote for a a party or candidate of their choice without being labelled unpatriotic or sellout
Otherwise, we are doomed to watching the dramas between powerful people evolve, be amused by them rather than being enraged, while our country sinks deeper & deeper in to a vicious cycle of despair, misery & living on the edge of survival, led by a super wealthy elite. Our choice

#ALifeOfSacrifice Since Independence, Zimbabwean parents have worked hard to invest in the education of their children. Some opened accounts with the likes of Beverly Building Society for years only to see value wiped away in a matter of days by Zanu's collapse of the economy
#ALifeOfSacrifice Those who managed to make it & graduate, could not find any jobs because ZanuPF's ruinous policies destroyed the economy. Families were forced to sacrifice quality family time & send their children off overseas. But first they had to sacrifice to find airfares
#ALifeOfSacrifice Those who made it to the diaspora are still sacrificing to bring family over or send money home to help those left behind at the mercy of a predatory elite that is looting the country dry at Olympic proportions. Cynically, diaspora is not allowed to vote

ZanuPF & the government's obsession with NGOs & their insistence on demanding work plans is yet an example of the systematic siege mentality within their ranks. Anyone who demands accountability is an enemy of the state, serves communities is treated with suspicion. Fear abounds.
Government that rules with an iron fist because it is afraid of it's own shadows. It is a sick situation with regime defenders openly & shamelessly back repression because they make a living off the backs of the people's misery #FixTheFoundation
The same regime that lives off foreign aid is petty & capricious enough to hijack aid handover ceremonies for help sourced by NGOs and individual Zimbabweans. Not content to deprive Zimbabweans of a living, they go on to create "support" schemes to further enrich themselves

#FixTheFoundation The world is fascinated by what is happening in the US because it is a superpower & because it regularly positions itself asi "leader of the free world". It is a test moment for American democracy. The democrats are moving to impeach Donald Trump for sedition
This is not about politics as some very conservative Republicans, like Liz Cheney, have indicated they will vote to impeach. The point being made is you cannot upend the constitutional order & hope to get away with it. There are dangers for the country & principles must stand
In Zimbabwe, when the ruling party was embroiled in a vicious factional fight, 9 out of 10 provinces voted against their then VP. After the coup, the same 9 provinces switched allegiances. Zero principle, adherence to the constitution. Worse, opposition leaders defended the coup

If you have ever wondered what our take is on Land Reform in #Zimbabwe, here's a thread. #AWWImage
APA Zimbabwe totally supports Land Reform! Our people went to war for independence and for the return of OUR land. #AWW#Zimbabwe
After losing the referendum in 2000, @ZANUPF_Official, however, embarked on a vengeance driven violent and chaotic land reform programme

Thousands of farm workers were internally displaced and production was severely disrupted with food security compromised. #AWW #Zimbabwe

"#PressStatement📢 on the State's unjust treatment of Hopewell Chin’ono & Jacob Ngarivhume"

1. The Alliance for People’s Agenda is deeply concerned by the manner in which Hopewell Chin’ono and Jacob Ngarivhume are being unjustly treated by the government. We note particularly how justice is being denied and delayed in their court cases.
@SADC_News
#Zimbabwe
2. The two are entitled to the same constitutional rights afforded to the accused person in terms of Section 70 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe. We refer to the decision by the Magistrate Court disqualifying Hopewell Chin’ono’s lawyer. #Zimbabwe
