1/ I’ve it on good authority this release was a result of the political connections they enjoy. I’ve said it appears to be an online publication controlled by some members of CIO & funded by the likes of Minister Mudha & many other senior & influential people, hence the release
2/Looking at the statement I submitted, what investigation is required against a story penned by them&based on falsehoods? Look at the difference when journos who don’t exaggerate as much like @daddyhope are arrested&persecuted with investigations taking place whilst incarcerated
3/ Hopewell, the EU, Britain & America all talk about selective application of the law and human rights abuses, and when you witness incidents like this, you’re forced to agree with them. If I have to seek private prosecution, I will, but let it go on record.
4/ Certain people are projects and the truth will eventually come out. Power doesn’t last however, and this will remain a record. It’s such behaviour that leads to people living in exile in the future, they cannot destroy people through the stroke of the pen. Lawsuits are coming
5/Due process must be followed & @elias_mambo must have his day in court, allegations must be based on hardcore evidence, not hearsay. Hearsay is not a form of evidence, I’m looking forward to the trial, I’m ready. Let’s clear ourselves through the courts; that’s what’s important

1/ In our culture the issue of tsvimbo& handing it down is very important. Much as there’s a lot of westernisation, our country is still very spiritual. So for as long as Spirit Mediums aren’t happy, as a country we’ll not get where we want to be. They feel they’ve been neglected
2/ Spirit Mediums played a major role in the liberation of this country and yet lack the requisite recognition. We acknowledge the church during National prayer days, and thank them for occurrences like good rains, but not “masvikiro”, when will they too be thanked?
3/ As the 1st born boy in our family, when our father passed on, ndakapiwa tsvimbo; it’s an important aspect of our culture that can’t be ignored. So if a father passes on and leaves their son tsvimbo, what’s more a country when a leader dies? Surely he should pass one on too?

Another sad loss to hit the arts & entertainment industry. My sincerest condolences to the family of the late Anne Nhira. In recognition of her contributions to the industry and March as Women’s month, isn’t she suitable to be made a Provincial Hero?
2/ Unless of course Soul Jah Love was conferred for performing at @ZANUPF_Official rallies? Anne appeared on state media, doesn’t that qualify her too? A YARDER who attended the last @YARDzim2023 public lecture and as a young, talented female she should be conferred the status
3/ I don’t dispute Soul Jah Love’s popularity & the mark he made; I enjoyed his music too, but I would want to know why the late Anne Nhira couldn’t be given Provincial Hero status and what the selection criteria is?
1/ Yesterday in Parly, I questioned why there have been increases in school fees. Private schools, Trust schools have been increasing fees. How do you justify this increase when children haven’t been to school & parents’ income has been adversely affected by the COVID pandemic
2/ Granted there’s been online learning but how does it reconcile with physical absence? The debate has been raging, this is stealing money from people. I know the parents can’t speak, but I represent everybody in the country much in the same way I’d represent the Chilonga people
3/This is a topical issue and the private schools are victimising parents and their children for speaking out. I think we need to tackle this head on. Private schools need to be brought before a Parly Committee to be asked to justify school fee increases when it’s online learning
1/ I note politicians crossing floors and joining @ZANUPF_Official but the question is, which ZANU-PF are they joining? I continue to maintain, it’s no longer the ZANU-PF we all once knew.
2/ When the likes of, Jabulani Sibanda, Mai Mujuru, Rugare Gumbo, Ray Kaukonde, Mushore, Bvundura, etc, go back to ZANU-PF, then you know it’s the ZANU-PF we once knew; the real deal. For now it’s an ignominy
3/ A ZANU-PF yana Mudha nana July Moyo ingave ZANU-PF here? Aiwa, no! These are examples of those who’ve destroyed the Party, who can’t even win elections in Midlands.
It's unfortunate the Agriculture Minister is already celebrating the alleged success of Pfumvudza which is actually a falsity. Facts on the ground are showing otherwise. The excessive rains have caused massive leeching and most of the holes were filled with water.
Pfumvudza works where there is not much water. Again, people have struggled to access AN fertiliser& are being limited in buying it; the Agritex officers on the ground have been struggling, some with no transport or fuel to facilitate the program etc.
In typical fashion the Minister's statement is a bastardisation of facts, remotely compiled from an office& is out of touch with the facts on the ground. For an example, I invite him to come to my village and see the results of Pfumvudza.
The remarks by @TafadzwaMugwadi accusing @BitiTendai of colluding with doctors in killing @zanu officials are not just mischievous but a tragic travesty against common-sense& political maturity. I know Biti& also understand the state of the country's healthcare system.
It's tragic to find a young man, whom I have previously defended in the ANC fiasco, doubling down fomenting baseless claims. These are instances where as a politician @TafadzwaMugwadi should know when to speak and when to be quiet.
Mbanje ngadziite shoma.
Any politician of repute& sense should have that intelligence to know when to speak and when not to, so as to avoid finding themselves on the wrong side of history, logic and progress.
