1)Hopefully @CyrilRamaphosa & @MYANC will understand that we need to dialogue with the army which took over Zanu-PF, the State & Govt. If we don't, a worse situation will explode, especially now, that there are 2 militarized factions in Zanu-PF dabbling in politics.
2) The preeminence of both Zanla & Zipra military wings in Zanu-PF, the State & Govt is a dangerous situation for national security, peace & stability & the sooner the military issue is addressed, the better. If we turn a blind eye to the fact that the military involvement
3) in our national politics is the elephant in the room, we are likely going to go back to 1983-87, albeit, on a national scale. It is clear the military factions in Zanu-PF are fighting to control the country & this fight will surely turn bloody if not addressed now.
4) @GovernmentZA & Pres @CyrilRamaphosa might ignore this but it's a serious issue. Imagine if @MYANC was controlled by Umkhonto Wesizwe fighters in SADF & govt, identifying themselves, predominantly, as either ANC or SACP, & these were fighting among themselves?
5) There is no hiding from the fact that Zimbabwe is under overt military rule and a security state after the 2017 Nov coup. Pres @CyrilRamaphosa & @GovernmentZA know it well, especially after , Isaac Moyo, who was Zim ambassador to SA, was brought back into security service
6) as CIO Director Gen & Gen Chimonyo, who, prior to the coup, was purportedly retired, & was Zim Ambassador to Tanzania, but was brought back into security service as Zimbabwe National Army Commander. There was opposite mvt of Gen Chiwenga, Major Gen SB Moyo & Air Marshal Shiri
6) and others, into Zanu-PF & govt, either as Vice Presidents, Ministers of govt or permanent secretaries in key ministries. These security chiefs,whom we r told,are retired, might not be retired after all, as seen by their predecessors, e.g. Isaac Moyo & Gen Chimonyo who, after,
7)purportedly 'retiring' & serving in govt in the ministry of foreign affairs as ambassadors,returned into security service as CIO Director General & ZNA Commander respectively.We have seen even journalists moving from the army to the national broadcaster,ZBC, & back to the army.
8)This fluidity of movt btn the army, state & govt by some key military personnel betrays the capture of both Zanu-PF & key state institutions by the army which is a major destabilising factor in competitive politics & govt, since those with both their legs in the army & politics
9) end up using the army in politics, governance & national policing. It is no secret that armies, the world over, operate on commands, & it is not a surprise that our govt, which has been militarized, operates on commands, that's why we have COMMAND agriculture,
10)Command policing where soldiers have been deployed to do policing duties since 14 Nov 2017 when the coup was set in motion.There can be excuses now that other countries, in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, have deployed their armies to help with policing services, but 4 Zim 
11) soldiers have been on the streets since Nov 14 2017, that's why they are accused, by the Mothlante Commission, of killing civilians on 1 August 2018 in the streets of Harare. They are also accused of many atrocities related to Jan 2019 demonstrations.
12)So when @CyrilRamaphosa & @GovernmentZA send in envoys to Zim, this is the situation obtaining on the ground. Some might talk of "a crisis of legitimacy" & situate the crisis in the form of stolen elections but they don't present a clear picture of who stole the elections.
13) Ignoring the role of the army in the 2018 elections is fatal since the reasons for the coup, provided by the Command Element of the army, had everything to do with takeover of power & it's consolidation thru a 2018 election that the army participated in under a Zanu-PF facade
14) It is no longer a secret that the army took over Zanu-PF, govt & the state for the sole reason of retaining Zanu-PF, & consequently themselves, in power after the July 2018 elections. The world, SADC, AU & UN ignored cries against a coup in Zimbabwe in 2017 but now
15) a lot of the global citizens can't fathom its consequences playing out through the brutalisation of Zim citizens hence the significance of the #ZimbabweanLivesMatter movt. We therefore implore @CyrilRamaphosa & @GovernmentZA to widen their consultations, thru their envoys, by
16) enganging political players & non political players alike, beyond the militarised Zanu-PF & it's POLAD surrogates that we hear are being line-up as interlocutors by those organising for the visit of @PresidencyZA envoys to Zim.
17) Political players outside Zanu-PF, POLAD & the military barracks, shld all be engaged to get a full view of the crisis. The army has to be engaged without fear to discuss ways of ensuring military people stop dabbling in civilian & partisan politics. The days of Zipra & Zanla
18) are long gone. We can't continue using guerilla tactics in modern day politics & pretend that we are building a modern democracy regardless of how many times fallacies of building a modern economy by 2030 are repeated. Modern economies & dispensations are not built
19) through guerilla tactics necessitated by the colonial imperial structures of the 1960s & 1970s. A new Zimbabwe cannot be built thru replication of the colonial administrative modus operandi of trembling upon the rights of our citizens. The use of the army to stifle dissent
20)is the biggest challenge Zimbabwe faces today. It is a problem that SADC intervention failed to address in 2008-2009 when the army, again, brutalised citizens to overturn an electoral result that didn't favour Zanu-PF. Same events played out loud in Nov 2017 when the military
21) used force to avoid an internal power exchange in Zanu-PF that didn't favour its so-called Command element, effectively mudding the 2018 electoral environment that it's pointless talking about it's compromised outcome caz it was always obvious that, as then
22) Masvingo Minister of State, Josiah Hungwe, correctly predicated, "ED will shoot to stay in power". True to Hungwe's words ED shot civilians on August 1 2018 to stay in power & even former SA Presudent Mothlante's Commission, attest to this reality. It is time that SADC
23) shld grab the bull by its horns & cause the Zimbabwe Crisis to be considered with the seriousness it deserves. Otherwise we will see an influx of Zimbabweans into SA & other neighbouring countries resulting in unnecessary pressure on our neighbours' economies, resulting
24)in unnecessary destabilisation of our sister countries.Zim has vast gold deposits,lithium, diamonds, chrome, coal-bed methane gas it can supply the whole of Africa 4 more than 50yrs on top of agricultural land we grabbed from our erstwhile colonizers, our pple shldnt be hungry
