1/ Dear @edmnangagwa

Zimbabweans were marginalized & thrown to ubproductive land during the colonial era. Hondo yeminda successfully managed to get some of that land back though it was done in a haphazard manner. #MrPresident the youth in Zimbabwe want farming land.2
2/ They want it yesterday and not tomorrow, for tomorrow will never come. As a president also, in my own right, I have been working flat out to reorient young people on the importance of being productive & owning the means of production. Young people have no land, have no jobs...
3/...& their future is bleak. Young people are hopeless, helpless and feel useless because of the high levels of poverty in our country right now. The least you can do is to revert to the liberation struggle plan to repossess land & have evey Zimbabwean benefiting from our land
4/ It is sad to note that most African youths are being persuaded by neocolonialists to desist from repossesing their land in favour of employment. The so called 4th industrial revolution is diminishing the very same jobs & our youth will plunge into deeper poverty & desperation
5/ My humble plea to you #MrPresident is to ensure that all young people who want to venture into agriculture are afforded the opportunity to do so. We have so many youths resorting to crime, prostitution & drugs because of idleness & destitution. We are fast losing a generation
6/ It is imperative to have national programs that aim to empowering youth to be self sufficient, create wealth and to produce for the country. Please ensure that young people get access to land regardless of political party affiliation, tribe, social status or race.

1/ Principles of self determination should and must be the foundation of any African political party. It is our Africaness, our culture that was stolen from us from the days of slavery. When one says Zimbabwe should be for Zimbabweans they are labelled ZanuPf🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ ???
2/ Nyika neNyika inechivanhu chayo &we can't just throw away who we are outside the window. Japanese are ruling in Japan, following their Japanese culture. Chinese in China follow their own Chinese customs & style of leadership. The English in England lead themselves their way.
3/ Africa must be led by Africans with a Pan African approach. This is simple basic politics. It's unfortunate that most youths fail to realise that corrupt individuals within the prencints of any household do not necessarily represent what that organisation stands for.

1/ Leaving pregnant girls & adolescent mothers behind is harmful to the continent’s development. Leaving no one behind means that African governments should recommit to their inclusive development goals and human rights obligations toward all children.
2/ African governments should ensure they adopt human rights compliant policies at national & local levels to protect pregnant & adolescent mothers’ right to education. Early and unintended pregnancies jeopardize educational attainment for thousands of girls. #TogetherWeCan
3/ For this reason, governments need to prevent them by ensuring that their educational institutions provide knowledge, information, and skills, so that pregnant girls and adolescent mothers can enjoy their right to continue their education.

1/ As Zimbabweans we need to grasp that focusing on blame games causes terror, anxiety, horror and fear which increases cover-ups and reduces the flow of information. Lack of information hinders problem solving, creating more errors. Fear also stifles risk taking & discourages...
2/...invention & innovation. Its high time we elect leaders who can say at a particular moment I made a mistake & say it in public. @LEADZim2023 is a political party that is going to take responsibility & put it on its shoulders because for a long time Zimbabwe has been ...
3/...playing the blame game. Its either the ruling party is blaming the opposition party or the opposition parties are pointing fingers directed to the ruling party at the end of the blaming game period we find ourselves with much deeper cuts bleeding expenses and wallowing...

1/ Zimbabwe is our land, we should commit to take charge of the social, economic, environmental & political processes that enable this country to go forward. Because of naivety, greed & corruption we created divisions among our ranks & let our erstwhile enemies creep back in...
2/...and subvert the revolution. We have realised that there are many inadequacies in current capitalism as developed by the so called first world countries. Among them are the persistence of poverty, the growing level of income inequality, the likely reduction of jobs as...
3/...automation & artificial intelligence advance, companies failing to cover their “social costs,” environmental exploitation, the business cycle & economic instability, etc. The growing wealth concentration created by capitalism is leaching into and assassinating our democracy.

1/ As the world continues to focus much of it’s attention towards the current unrest due to Covid-19, Labour Economists and Afrikan Democrats (LEAD) is busy trying to come up with solutions that can see Zimbabwe emerging as a victor.
#TogetherWeCan #Covid_19 #NationBuilding
2/ We have to foster a culture of consuming local products & not imports, to save foreign currency & encourage innovation. Government has to create more enticing incentives for local innovation, production & problem solving, while penalizing nonproductive imports.
#LocalIsLekker
3/ The process of building innovation requires our citizens in other parts of the world to systematically gather & transfer information, industrial secrets, blueprints, technology, designs & trade secrets from leading institutions across the world, into a technology...

1/ Dear @fortunechasi

Some decisions being made by government departments are so bad and unjustifiable. Why is 20% Ethanol more expensive than 80% Petroleum fuel? What is the purpose of blending if blended fuel is expensive compared to unblended one? What is the justification?
2/ Fuel is still 0.70 in Zimbabwe, who is paying for the diference? Why is government subsidising & why not take the money being spent for subsidies and pay civil servants in forex since @ReserveBankZIM & @ZimTreasury have failed to curb black market trading?
3/ Some decisions are playing into the script that ED is incompetent. A house divided against itself will not stand. Can @zeraenergy kindly explain how they ended up getting $1.28? Using their own figures (0.8x0.3776)+(0.2x1.1)+0.3+0.101+0.122 = 1.04508
