1] I guess the only difference between @HeraldZimbabwe & @DailyNewsZim is that the latter is smaller.

Otherwise,same old BS!

As the @HeraldZimbabwe continues to attack @nelsonchamisa, @DailyNewsZim continues to desperately prop up @DMwonzora, setting the stage for "talks" Image
2] With everything currently happening in Zimbabwe,@DailyNewsZim still found it important to interview one Victor Matemadanda & make his propaganda the front page TOP NEWS!

The transformation of @DailyNewsZim into an extension of ZanuPf anti-Opposition machinery is breathtaking.
3] There is a clear logic to this madness.

Let's face it Zimbos, the "private media" is being conveniently used to prepare our psyche for some ED-Mwonzora pact.

The only question is on the nature of the pact

I wonder what Zanu plans to get from DM which they couldnt,from Dr TK
4] As @DailyNewsZim continues "telling it like it isn't", opinions continue replacing facts

You wonder who they are trying to convince, by continuously referring to Mwonzora as "mature, consistent and well respected constitutionalist", & his MDC-T as the "main opposition party".
5] Whereas Sen Mwonzora persists with his G-40 hallucinations, insisting that he disagreed with Chamisa after NC "openly got endorsed by G-40", he himself ironically got endorsement from Matemanda & clearly still does.

That's what the @DailyNewsZim characterizes as constituency.
6] Im told my estranged brothers from our mighty Elland Bull family, @Jamwanda2_ & @matigari are still endorsing the learned Senator.

Will have to confirm once the brothers get back to their senses and engage (read unblock🤣) the youngest amongst the Mhofus on these streets.
7] Matemadanda's verdict that @nelsonchamisa is politically done, is just desperation on steroids

This ain't bootlicking, but rats cannot announce the death of a lion. Nor can they call a mouse the new lion.

Yes Nero made his bed, but I'm sure he wont lie there alone.

enkosi! Image

1] Having:

@HEBobiwine as Ugandian President
@nelsonchamisa as Zimbabwean President
@MmusiMaimane/ @Julius_S_Malema as SAn President would mean so much for the region & our African politics.

Our politics needs a disruptive departure from the old & tired nationalist rhetoric ImageImageImageImage
2] Ofcourse, there is more to politics than "being young"...

Yet the point of departure is,nationalist movements have become an albatross to regional development, with what most of them traditionally represent, becoming alien to the aspirations & experiences of new generations. Image
3] The future can not be secure under people without lived experiences of what it means NOW, to be poor, African, black, etc.

The future can certainly not be planned by people who wont be there.

What's the inspiration for fighting for agenda 2063, by age faking 70+ year olds? Image

1] The experiences of @HEBobiwine & many other Opposition parties in authoritarian regimes, especially those whose incumbents are a product of coups, makes one feel ashamed of being African

Africa needs new leaders to break this chain of oppression, capture, abuse & lawlessness
2] The Ugandan Dictator, General Museveni is unrelenting as he pushes for another term in office

@HEBobiwine's party has effectively been politically outlawed.
Many of his members/supporters and party Leaders have been arrested, tortured & murdered

#YoweriMuseveniMustFall
3] With the election only just a few hours away:

a. the international world has been shut out with the blocking of social media
b. Opposition members/leaders are being abducted & killed
c. International & local observers are being forced to pull out

1] Hopefully, after this, I will be saying less and less stuff about @DMwonzora & the @MyMDC_T

In Africa, any serious politician has to be a charismatic orator.

Strategy & effective administration is actually anchored on that.

Sadly, Dougie ticks none of those boxes.
2] African politics is unique.

There are many brilliant politicians who failed to make a mark, simply because of their inability to command attention.

You need to be able to convince people to listen, if you have any chance at convincing them to believe in you & what you offer.
3] Of equal concern is the perceptions people have of a politician.

ZANUPF caused irreparable damage on Tsvangirai as a political brand, as State media "successfully" labelled him a stooge of Westen interests.

I've wondered if the MDC did enough, to shake this off early.

[1] All these whispers for "talks" between the warring MDC factions are a waste of valuable time.

At a personal level,I believe in multi-party democracy,meaning that we need as many Opposition parties as well.

Secondly,we are better off without chaotic elitist unification talks Image
[2] Its quite funny, that Senators Mudzuri & Komichi, as they were campaigning towards the MDC-T EOC, all claimed to posses requisite skills & maturity "to reunite MDC politicians/factions"

Mwonzora is now singing form the same hymn, promising to "personally talk with Chamisa" Image
[3] In fact, it was under the same "wisdom" that Senators Mudzuri & Komichi, dutifully accepted the positions offered to them by Sen Mwonzora.

they didnt want "the MDC-T to split again".

Funny enough, they masterminded the MDC-ALLIANCE split.

Question is, what has changed now? Image

[1] These are trying times indeed

Before looking at what gov, the Opposition & civil society should be doing, we as citizens, need to realise we have a role to play

We really need to change our behaviour, if any gov measures are to be successful

it can't be business as usual
[2] The recklessness that characterised festive season celebrations are just unacceptable

It would seem like many people are still living in denial, yet the covid variant, or second wave, will have more devastating effects, compared to the first wave.

It's actually scary
[3] Dear citizens, in our individual capacities, let us avoid unnecessary gatherings, visits & travels

Lets sanitize, wear masks,& adhere to all regulations, to the best of our individual abilities

most importantly, let us demand the same, of those we can't avoid contact with

1] Was looking forward to having the 'Devil topic' with @McBrzy36 🤣

Endless tweets on politics, important as they are, can become tiring, because of our polarisation

Be that as it may, I would think it's clear to everyone, more so Pres Chamisa, as to what Dougie will now do
2] From the onset, it's clear that Mwonzora has issues with Chamisa, not Mnangagwa, especially between now & 2023.

He has never been in any political contestation with ED, yet has been fighting NC since about 2014.

For the time being, NC is his only external political opponent
3] So with ED, we are likely to see Dougie's "rational disputation" (as if he has any dispute with him)

The MDC-T will start formally recognizing ED & ZanuPF, dialoguing through Parliament & even formally attending State functions.

Wont be surprised if Dougie joins POLAD
