1] Took time to go through details of the reinstatement of @mdczimbabwe VP, @BitiTendai & other ex PDP MPs to Parliament.

The Judge makes interesting observations, particularly the frivolous nature of how certain individual are abusing the recall clause.

#NgaapindeHakeMukomana
2] The Judge reasons, rightfully so, that by the 2018 elections, there were two distinct PDPs.

In doing so, the Judge recognizes the right of association, by the Biti led PDP faction, to belong wherever, without being entangled in some supposed "one PDP" under any individual(s).
3] The judge makes another determination, on how frivolous it would be, for individuals who went to the 2018 election under "rainbow coalition", as did Matibenga & team, to now claim ownership over MPs elected under MDC-A.

He calls the imposter PDP Secretary & team, "cuckoos".
4] Couldn't help draw parallels between this Judgement, & the Supreme Court one, which ushered in the Khupe/Mwonzora madness

Just like with PDP, towards 2018, we also had two different MDC-T factions, one under MRT/NC, the other under Khupe, going separate ways.
It's undeniable
5] After 2018, the SC Judgement attempted to "reunite" MDC-T factions under one "acting leader" who supposedly was the "rightful MDC-T VP".

In the Biti case, the Matibenga group attempted to reason that she was the rightful PDP Leader, after having had "fired Tendai Biti".
6] Now, just like with PDP in 2018, MDC-T factions existed separately.

One coalesced under NC, the other under Khupe.

Yet a judgement purported to not only unite them, but give Khupe shepherdship over officials elected under NC.
Matibenga attempted to do the same in this case.
7] The immediate consequence of the SC judgement's strange attempt to ignore the separation that existed prior to 2018, was that Khupe & team became beneficiaries of their electoral performance of their 2018 rivals

The HC Judge castigated Matibenga for also attempting to do this
8] The Biti-Matibenga judgement brings out few issues.

The first one obviously being the role of the Speaker of Parly in recalls.

Its tragic that this important institution is headed by a member of a rival party, more so in election season, who makes political decisions.
9] Mudenda, a lawyer in his own right, has shown unmatched energy, in illegally recalling @mdczimbabwe MPs.

Instead of just acting on the reinstatement of Biti et al, Mudenda is rather giving Matibenga's PDP, legal advice.

It consequently directs us to the source of the recalls
10] The other issue is the evident role of the State in the attempted dismemberment of @mdczimbabwe

The HC Judge castigated PDP lawyers, labelling them "hired guns".

The MDC-T unsurprisingly embraced Matibenga as their "2018 ALLIANCE partner" knowing fully well, this is untrue
11] This script, expose how these shenanigans are indisputably, ED's re-election plan.

•You've a court making Khupe leader of an institution which defeated her

•Defeated people replacing the elected

•The MDC-T attempting to create a new "MDC-A " with unknown & unnamed CIOs
12] Another issue, perhaps more worrying, is the general reaction of citizens to this Biti judgement.

You know there's a judiciary crisis, when citizens only "half-celebrate" a judgement they nevertheless acknowledge as being "sound".

The reason being, "we've been here before".
13] Instead of acting on the judgement, the Speaker of Parly, a member of ZanuPF's politburo is advising the applicant to "appeal" to the SC.

Doesnt this criminally expose the logic behind this evident madness?

ZanuPF and its variants in the 'opposition' are clearly determined.
14] This should fuel citizens towards a convergence to save our country & its institutions.

We can't have a 'ruling party' absolutely disinterested in governing, rather focusing on 'destroying' the democratic alternative.

There's no other way,

"The future is very bright, exciting & solid because we have a solid, hardworking, peaceful & committed people who are conscious about their Great country. A country if supported by all our efforts as a people on account of our co-competencies, would do well"
2] @nelsonchamisa:

"I see Zimbabwe as the Switzerland of Africa if not better. Not just for Africa, but for the whole world. The prospects are very high. Where we are is a bit difficult on account of a deficit of Leadership."
3] @nelsonchamisa:

"We have everything we need in this country, from natural resources; human resources; character and content of our populace. All the thing we have are very good, including the climate. The only thing we dont have, and need to correct, is the Leadership"

1] @citezw interview by @zenzele

@Welshman_Ncube:

'Since we last spoke, there's been systematic attempts to dismember @mdczimbabwe. They have taken our MPs & given them to other parties, some of which didnt exist in 2018. They've taken our properties & given them to Mwonzora'
2] @Welshman_Ncube:

'GoZ has taken money we are entitled to. The hypocrisy is astounding. They initially gave the money to DM as MDC-T, now he is trying to reconstitute a new alliance, but still calling it MDC-A. The new gazette now says the money will be given to MDC-A'
3] @Welshman_Ncube:

'This is a new DM led MDC-A, not the one previously led by NC which won those votes. This DM led MDC-A now includes PDP party led by Matibenga who was in a rivalry alliance led by Mujuru. We are now being told we must believe they are part of the MDC-A.."

1] Some bit of context to this....

First challenge is that some of us have always been opposed to the rule of ZanuPF, while some of them are opposed to the rule of Mnangagwa.

The fear is that, we may he pursing different types of "change"!

#RegisterToVoteZW
2] Second challenge is...

They want to exonerate their association with ZanuPF misrule for all their adult life by reminding us that "MDC supported the coup" in 2017.

In doing so, they expose their hidden anger, towards citizens & the MDC, for "aiding their fall from grace."
3] Politically, the coup became bigger than MDC.

Citizens wanted the albatross, RG gone, by means necessary or unnecessary.

Ironically, they wont admit to have played different roles in ensuring that there wouldnt be a change of government through the ballot in Zimbabwe.

1] This development has to be the worst kept secret.

As expected, the puppet party is moving for the ALLIANCE name.

The concern for me, is that the democratic alternative risks being left internally focused, the reason why the regime sponsored the infamous SC judgement.
2] The hypocrites in the puppet party (28 July), claimed that only 3 parties constitute their MDC-A coalition Principals Forum.

This was in response to the Guchutu expulsion letter.

Fast forward to August, their coalition now has 6 Principals all over gain.

It's all hypocrisy.
3] This "coalition" without Chamisa, Ncube, Biti is absolutely useless.

None amongst the parties & "leaders" who constitute this coalition was voted for in 2018.

Soon, they will be faced with the conundrum of choosing the best useless candidate amongst themselves, for 2023.

1] Was looking forward to seeing a tweet like that one tagged below.

Will 'ZanuPF people' ever own up to their actions?

Suddenly ED's spin doctors, Nick Mangwana and Charamba must he treated as "victims" after being exposed for their senseless lies and vitriol respectively.
2] So it's okay for ED's spokesperson to insult HH using vernacular & a ghost account?

Translating & exposing this to HH and/or his officials is "gaslighting"?

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

I'm sure ZanuPF will soon criminalize this, using their proposed cyber laws
3] Again, noone provoked whoever wrote that embarrassing lie, of a whole President running around hotels looking for Mnangagwa!

It's just propaganda gone horribly wrong.

Noone should feel sad for Nick Mangwana now that the lies he shared are being exposed.

1] Someone reading this from mukoma Goerge perhaps will only focus on the "chinhu chine vene vacho" mantra.

These "madhara ehondo nemahovhorisi" have monopolized the country and only wish to take turn to rule it.

Yet this isn't all that Goerge is attempting to do here... Image
2] What Goerge is actually trying to do, is promote voter apathy.

Don't get it twisted, it's not just the democratic alternative that is "learning" from both the Malawi & Zambia political developments.

ZanuPF is learning also.

They are worried sick and are dreading elections. Image
3] That tweet from Goerge, equally betrays his and ZanuPF's collective fear of @nelsonchamisa

When you see the spin doctor of a regime that is propagating the narrative that Chamisa is finished, continuously attacking him daily, know that they don't believe their own lies. Image
