1/14 Once again Mnangagwa is in Bulawayo today, with his security boys Owen "Machete" Mudha Ncube & Kazembe Kazembe, in another Virginia Mabiza facilitated abuse of the @NPRCZim & Matabeleland traditional chiefs to cleanse himself of #gukurahundi blood!

chronicle.co.zw/just-in-presid…
2/14 Following the publication of his biography, littered with lies by Eddie Cross that he only played a peripheral role in the #gukurahundi genocide, Mnangagwa hopes the Cross book will whitewash his murderous gukurahundi past; before the @NPRCZim comes to an end in 23 months!
3/14 It's a cruel lie & a deepening of his genocidal complicity in gukurahundi atrocities to say, as does Eddie Cross in a book which been taken off the shelves in Zim for security reasons, that Mnangagwa played a minor role in the framing & execution of the gukurahundi genocide!
4/14 Since gukurahundi is neither openly nor seriously discussed in Zimbabwe; many are not aware that the #gukurahundi atrocities were classified as a GENOCIDE by @genocide_watch in 2010. If not minor, what was Mnangagwa's role in the gukurahundi GENOCIDE?

5/14 While there are now many source materials on #gukurahundi genocidal roles roles played by Mnangagwa & all the others, a usefully comprehensive & detailed reference is @stu_doran's 842-page book, KINGDOM, POWER GLORY: Mugabe, Zanu & Supremacy 1960 - 1987, published in 2017!
6/14 On p. 440 @stu_doran has this shocker:
"...They (Ndebeles) think they have the divine right to rule the country and resent being ruled by a predominantly Shona party; they say only Ndebele should rule Ndebele..." Mugabe, Dec 82

This was the GENOCIDAL backdrop for 5 Brigade!
7/14 As revealed by @stu_doran in his 2017 book & corroborated by others, the Zanu Central Committee made a genocidal resolution in Dec 1982 "TO MASSACRE THE NDEBELES". The day after Mnangagwa & others went to Byo to pave way for deployment of 5 Brigade in Tsholotsho in Jan 1983!
8/14 People should read @stu_doran's meticulously detailed & well documented 842-page book on their own. It's a must read. Notably as revealed on pp. 332-33, when it came to gukurahundi, as CIO minister & chair of JOC Mnangagwa who carried an AK47, defined himself as a "SOLDIER"!
9/14 Unknown to traditional & community leaders meeting him in Bulawayo today, is that it is Mnangagwa the self declared soldier, CIO minister & JOC chair who personally gave the order to arrest & assassinate Joshua Nkomo in 1983; who survived by escaping to London via Botswana!
10/14 Although he addressed press conferences & public meetings in the #gukurahundi years as a soldier; as per the new line in his biography by Eddie Cross, Mnangagwa later claimed he did not know the number of people he & his fellow soldiers murdered in the gukurahundi genocide!
11/14 Kevin Woods, who led CIO in MatNorth under Mnangagwa the soldier & who regularly briefed CIO head office & Mugabe, put the #gukurahundi genocidal murder toll at 18,000 and Dan Stannard, Mnangagwa's CIO mastermind put it at 50,000; in a detail accessed by @stu_doran in 2015!
12/14 Eddie Cross claims Mnangagwa played a minor role in the #gukurahundi atrocities; but here's Emmerson in April 1983 getting off a helicopter in a blue t/shirt carrying a SCEPTRE, at a MatNorth rally where he personally paraded alleged dissidents before they were disappeared!
13/14 This photo collage speaks for itself about Mnangagwa PERSONALLY dispensing extrajudicial barbarism against alleged dissidents, in April 1983 at a mass rally in MatNorth; three months after 5 Brigade had been deployed in Tsholotsho; where it was committing untold atrocities!
14/14 TAKE ANOTHER look at these verifiable pictures of Mnangagwa, with his SCEPTRE in hand, PERSONALLY parading alleged dissidents, not found guilty of any crime by any court of law; who were tortured and disappeared. WHERE ARE THEY? Mnangagwa must account for these Zimbabweans!

AMERICA'S @wesbeal: @PacheduZW's LYNCHPIN

1/24 Recently, @PacheduZW, which falsely claims to be wholly run by Zimbabweans, boasted that in 2021 it "SPENT THE ENTIRE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY" demonising me.

The boast was in a hateful response to the 'Apology letter' to ZanuPF members!
2/24 Since its launch just before the 2018 general election, @PacheduZW has routinely claimed that it is a wholly Zimbabwean entity, formed and run by CITIZENS; some domiciled in and others outside the country.

But this claim is false, in dangerous ways!

3/24 A week before the 2018 general election, @PacheduZW introduced its 11 team members, all presented as "patriotic" Zimbabweans; six based outside the country and five supposedly based in Zimbabwe but "chose to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals"!

1/18 The release of #CCC's "7 electoral reform demands" has exposed the telling fact that the party and its loquacious trolls don't know that election results in Zim are ANNOUNCED, in real time at polling stations, immediately after vote counting. This is huge for vote defence!
2/18 In terms of s37C of the Electoral Act, see attachment, Zimbabwe's election system has five electoral centres.

These five election centres have complementary roles; with each having its own election return (called a V-Form) and a distinct function in the election system!
3/18 In terms of s38 of the Electoral Act, attached, Zimbabwe's plebiscite harmonises three elections that are run simultaneously:

General (parliamentary), local authority and presidential elections.

Results of these elections are ANNOUNCED in real riltme at polling stations!

1/24 While I'm sad I cannot continue to respond to each and all of them, I'm heartened by the deluge of DMs asking for the reason for the crude slurs I get from @nelsonchamisa supporters; which reflect deep-seated hatred as they have also targeted my sister and my late daughter!
2/24 The reason for the slurs I am getting is @nelsonchamisa himself. While he feigns ignorance and appears to be silent amid the slurs, Nelson has in fact used his seeming silence as a cover to fan and fuel the slurs. He has rebuffed all efforts to get him to address the slurs!
3/24 In the circumstances, the only rational option left is for me to transparently and objectively address the reason for the crude #CCC slurs, one way or another; away from @Twitter at an appropriate time, as soon as practically possible. This I shall do, without prejudice!

1/16 The saga of a "structureless" & constitutionless #CCC has put a spotlight on the legal status of political parties in Zim. While the Constitution in s3 declares Zim as a 'multi-party democratic system', it does not define the nature, functions & rights of political parties!
2/16 In the Bill of Rights the Constitution of Zimbabwe, under s67 dealing with political rights, does not distinguish between "a political party" and "an organisation". Effectively, this means a political party is an organisation. It follows that an organisation is a structure!
3/16 Apropos s67 of the Constitution, the Electoral Act defines a political party as "any political organisation". Since an organisation is a structure, this means that a political party is not a particular structure; but any structure; whose type must be given or made known!

1/15 From 11 to 13 April 2022, a property of US's @NDI on 85 Ebene Cybercity, Quatre Bornes, Mauritius hosted a secret meeting to plot an audacious and violent "Eswatini Winter Revolution", slated for June 2022; funded by @NDI, listed as the "Principal" on the meeting's agenda! Image
2/15 The @NDI's Mauritius coup plot against Eswatini was attended by Srdja Popovic, Slobadan Dinovic, Mohamed Adel, Maryam Al-Khawaja, Mona Eltahawy, Danya Bashir, Justine Lavarde, Kumi Naidoo, Mariela Belski & Zweli Martin Dlamini. What follows are details of the @NDI coup plot!
3/15 DAY ONE was for a presentation by @zweli_martin, leader of a multi-national paramilitary outfit called " Eswatini Democratic Forces", whose elements include South Africans & immigrants from @SADC_News recruited by @MmusiMaimane. Attached are minutes of Zweli's presentation!

1/5 The gruesome lynching of Elvis Nyathi a Zimbabwean stoned & burnt alive in South Africa is not a result of "illegal" or "forced" immigration, as claimed by political vultures in SA and Zim; it's Afrophobia, a dreadful South African hate crime not seen anywhere else in Africa!
2/5 For context, South Africa is neither exemplary nor a leader among hosts to"illegal" or "forced" immigrants, commonly known as refugees, in Africa. Leaders, non of which is Afrophobic, are Uganda, Liberia, Sudan, South Sudan, Kenya, Ethiopia & Cameroon!
nrc.no/perspectives/2…
3/5 The mixed response of SA govt officials to the gruesome lynching of Elvis Nyathi is outrageous, unacceptable but telling: tragically, maybe due to their shellacking in the recent local govt elections, the subliminal message of @MYANC ministers is Afrophobic & anti-Zimbabwean!
