1] The key thing to read from this cryptic tweet is that there's a #Leadership vacuum in the so called #MDC of #Tsvangirai

Knowing too well that some #MDC-T supporters feel very strongly against her, the intention is to politically pronounce that #Khupe is a transitional Leader.
2] It's hilarious for EM, who accepted an appointment outside #Congress, to lecture #MDC-T supporters on #Khupe's #2014Congress #legitimacy

Defeats the whole purpose of the new argument

Why does it matter now?

Had the powers of #Congress #legitimacy been lost to him all long?
3] Back to the cryptic tweet..

EM is making political notification to MDC-T supporters, that MaKhupe should be accommodated for the duration of the EOC preparations.

Politically,it cannot happen.

There is no judgement that can erase the political realities of the past 2 years.
4] It's easy to accuse people of promoting personality politics, as if you can remove people & their personalities in political activities.

It is not lost to #MDC supporters that #MaKhupe had her own outfit in 2018 which #campaigned (& lost) against #MPs she now supposedly leads
5] It is not lost to #MDC supporters, regardless of how pragmatic one choose to be, that #MaKhupe went on to endorse Pres ED in #POLAD & even infamously said "i will always support him".

How does she now lead people who are politically & morally against her political decisions?
6] It defies political logic, forcing #MDC supporters to embrace #Khupe's #Presidency even if its for 3 seconds.

She is not even an enemy.

She is simply a #Leader of a separate political entity & cannot involve herself with the #Leadership & political capital of the #MDC-A
7] There's characters are involving themselves in a political mess.

It is not only EM attempting to abuse both #MaKhupe & the #SCJudgement.

Even #Mwonzora & #Komichi are campaigning for the converted big post.

Ofcourse that's democracy.

But therein lies the next headache..
8] Reality is, this has nothing to do with #DrMRT

The more they mention him, the more they embarrass themselves.

The involvement of state security doesn't help matters.

Nor the deployment of some characters here on twitter.

But anyways, Happy Birthday Baba Shero

enkosi!!

1. So, I had taken a conscious decision not to make any comment regarding the "evidence of Chamisa selling out" as shared by Mawarire because I had found the recorded and leaked voice call uninforming.

I've decided to comment after the comment made by Hopewell as attached below. Image
2. POINT 1:

From the onset, I have no problems whatsoever with Chamisa being exposed for selling out, should such damning evidence exist.

It would certainly bring finality to a number of issues and actually allow the democratic project to proceed until its logical conclusion.
3. POINT 2:

While the thread from Mawarire makes quite a number of damning accusations, much to the excitement of Chamisa's opponents, the attached "evidence" doesn't prove any of accusations.

In fact, there's no relationship whatsoever between the recording & the accusations.

1. Enter Professor Madhuku (or whoever prepared this application in his name).

Fellow citizens, we now have a second court application aimed at having the now gazetted #Agenda2030 constitutional amendment bill set aside for some procedural technicality.

Let's talk about it. Image
Image
Image
2. The crunx or pith of the aforementioned & aforeqouted relief by war veterans as prepared by Prof Madhuku (or whoever prepared it in his stead), is to have the bill nullified.

Reasoning being: ED presiding over the bill's debate in Cabinet was a procedural conflict of interest
3. On the other hand, we have the Fuzwayo application, which purports to challenge the contents of the bill proper.

That application challenges 'violations against political rights, equal protection under the law, and strict procedures for amending presidential term limits.'

1. Fellow citizens, thank you for the many inquiries on my safety over the course of the 67 weeks of my hiatus. It's very humbling.

I possess no importance to probe nor address this any further

Meanwhile, there's been a more important & consequential return

Let's talk about it Image
2. If doubt over Nelson's relevance in our politics had begun creeping in, reactions post his return press conference have swept all that away.

Analysis, outbursts, whispers, have all become the order of the day, as politicians position themselves, & citizens observe curiously.
3. Knowing Nelson and the person that he is, I undoubtedly suppose he soberly understands the gravity of what this means.

It is not, and can not be, about him as a person, nor his political ego, if ever he possessed one.
Rather, it's about his role in shaping our history.

1. Admittedly, when I first read the "structured currency" headline, I thought the Harare regime was taking its "structures" propaganda too far.

With the benefit of more research on the topic, I'm now totally convinced the Harare regime is indeed taking its propaganda too far. Image
2. By definition, a structured currency is "structured" in that it's supposedly backed by both mineral reserves (in our case gold) and trust in government's monetory policies & regulations.

Unfortunately, no one believes any of the two are present in our existing circumstances.
3. Part of why all previous gimmicks have failed is a trust deficit.

Even if the government opts to accuse commentators of being alarmists, causing panick and despondency, no one can be faulted for rushing to withdraw their forex savings if we have learned anything from history.

1. Imagine trying to make sense of how some 4 gentlemen in Bulawayo can randomly claim, 'we have recalled Amos Chibaya, he has ceased being a member of CCC'.

Outside the influence of social media, many only know about #CCC because of the efforts of this indefatigable organizer. Image
2. Propaganda has to make some sort of sense.

Even where some decide to hide behind the claim of "a traceable history in the struggle," Chibaya would make the mark.

A devoted organizer during the times of Tsvangirai & even more so, during the times of Chamisa under the MDC-A.
3. For the successive elections between 2018-2023, it's a mystery how Chibaya found the passion to abandon the comfort of his home and the herculean energy to traverse the country, organizing the Opp for electoral triumph.

Chibaya is very much unheralded & doesn't seem to care.

1. So, a group of at least 25 individuals have decided to join nonexistent forces under the otherwise much heralded #NERA banner to push for electoral reforms.

It's difficult to even identify them as political leaders because they don't represent any political constituency. Image
2. If you review the outcome of the controversial 2023 election, these people combined had fewer votes than the Councilors who won your ward election.

Many of them have never even bothered to field candidates in successive elections but only pop up whenever they sense a need.
3. If you were to profile them, there is one Lucia Matibenga, masquerading as PDP President.

Her "party" never contests.
She only temporarily enjoyed limelight under PDP when Sen Mwonzora brought her as his MDC-A partner before they connived to recall MPs elected under Chamisa.
