1] Letter by @JobSikhala1 from prison:

"No matter the adversities, the liberation of our people from oppression and persecution can not be postponed any further. My persecution is a reflection of the suffering our people have been going through one generation after the other"
2] @JobSikhala1:

"In this instance, I am in complete shock of the reasons for my persecutions. there is no crime i committed. The plot and the plan of the dictatorship is to break me down. i will never be broken down because the demand for a free and just society is a calling.."
3] @JobSikhala1:

"Even if I die in the concentration camp called Chikurubi Maximum Prison, dear Zimbabweans remember me. Remember that it is because of our freedom, happiness and liberty that has been robbed from one generation to another, that I met my fate.."
4] @JobSikhala1

"...I promise I will never be silenced until we all enjoy our nationhood."

1] These streets are crowded by brilliant young minds who's full potential will never be realized if the status quo continues.

The old political system would rather have them shaking bums at rallies, or burning houses.
We need a new society where young people will thrive.
2] Current political conversations in the Opposition & alternative should be inclusive & pro-youth.

Those preoccupied with patronizing & revisionist conversations on who was where in 1999 are simply building another Zanu-lite version of an entitled mob of tired legs.
3] I'm rally behind that cause @NgarivhumeJacob

I dream of a functional nation whose citizens aren't burdened by the baggage of those who wont accept that they have failed, with their better days way behind them.

That nation can only be born out of a new agenda and a new focus

1] The hypocrisy with which we turn ourselves into moral prefects has to be exposed.

I thought seeing some anti Chamisa Chete Chete guys coming up with Mwonzora Kwese Kwese gimmick was hilarious enough.

Some who ridicule Chamisa Chete Chete behaviour prefer Prophet Chete Chete
2] We live in a world where some prefer science, some religion with the two usually in conflict.

Yet at a time such as this, influential people shouldn't be pressing panick button and being at the forefront of propagating conspiracy theories camouflaged as religious teachings.
3] Its unproductive when extremists of either religion or science, simply criticise "solutions" proffered by the other, without offering different ideas.

When such things happen, it's easy to come across as attention seeking rabble-rousers.

Criticize with better solutions.

1] Did mention in the thread below that the critical phase was the post election period.

The paranoid Dictator of Uganda has effectively immobilized @HEBobiwine

Whereas Bobi is under house arrest,his comrades & supporters are behind bars or in hiding

2] But ofcourse @MUSEVN isn't stupid.

He knows he can't isolate @HEBobiwine forever.

Yoweri is just buying time.

The plan is to allow for the waters to settle,as the external world "congratulate" him, effectively forcing Ugandans to "move on".

It's now a psychological warfare
3] Yoweri will soon push to "normalize" life in Uganda.

He will appoint Ministers & Parliament will resume it's sittings.

To spice it up, some political prisoners may be pardoned.

Expect him to make conciliatory speeches signaling the end of the election season.

1] We will examine whether or not Simba Chikanza is mentally stable some other time, but did a whole Minister of Defence spend 7 minutes exposing ZanuPF internal issues/fights to someone she didnt know who it was?

How is Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri a whole Defence Minister?
2] The same Muchinguri-Kashiri previously claimed God was using covid to punish sanctions imposing Westerners...

now she says the covid virus is a product of a Chinese experiment that went horribly wrong!

Is it the same China which is supposedly our "all weather friend"?
3] Atleast,thank you for exposing an open secret.

Everyone knows that ZBC isn't a State broadcaster, but an extension of ZanuPF propaganda machinery.

We just didnt know it was now Madam Mutsvangwa's property which her faction is using to promote their agenda.

thank you mama!

1] Dr Tsvangirai "“I don't want to walk to State House over the dead bodies of fellow Zimbabweans"

He didnt.

Fast forward to 2020/21,some MDC supporters:

"We wish Tsvangirai was still around. Chamisa is weak & soft. Tsvangirai would have led an uprising".

Strange stuff.
2] Actually, by the time Dr MT died,calls for him to step aside had massively grown.

One of the reasons being that the MDC had become "soft" under his leadership, after falling to translate winning elections into getting State power.

Some called for new strategies & Leadership
3] Anyways, just wanted to share an opinion on a topic I had decided to sit out on.

The other strange comparison has been on Bobi Wine & Chamisa.

Many seemed oblivious to the fact that there is an election in Uganda, not in Zimbabwe.

Bobi was just campaigning.(impressively so)

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
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.
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?
