We laid Josphat 'Samanyanga' Chiweshe to rest. What a man he was. He was among the guys who stood with me and you can never talk about Mash West without mentioning Chiweshe.
Paying last respects!
People like Josphat did so much for @ZANUPF_Official but he passed away with very little to show for it. It's painful.
I have always believed in being part of the people. This is what we must do as a people. It doesn't come with instructions but your heart tells you. I believe in leading like this.
Josphat lying peacefully. This is how bad it is that even provincial leaders were not there. Chiyangwa, Paradza, many others were not present. They could have pushed for a Provincial Hero status. It must be a lesson to leaders. That's why I say don't fight because of politics.
Politic parties won't be there to bury you. Let's respect each other and live well. Don't allow politicians to put hate in your heart.
Condolences to the mother, anaMadhuve. Feel sad for mothers. It's painful what they go through.
Some of the Top Six guys there. Missing is Sikanyika and the late Josphat. No matter what people say these are people who love their party. Unfortunately at times the party leads you to do wrong things.
The new kids on the block with the old horses, Top 6 and Top 7. They are the stalwarts for @ZANUPF_Official in Mash West. Here I'm raising the socialist symbol, the left hand fist.
With Mambo Chiweshe. He is Josphat's father. He came from royal family. It's important that no matter who we are we should always respect our ubuntu and follow our culture and heritage.
Could not end the day without singing my Whisiri, Methodist of Zimbabwe song.
Putting stones and making sure it's proper. They are a great community here, Chief Chiweshe's people. Shows no matter what you do never be enemies as family because of politics.

There has been excitability around ZANU's Secretary for Legal Affairs Patrick Chinamasa, deleting& subsequent reposting of the Tagwirei co-option matter. A thorough examination of the contextual elements at play is essential for a comprehensive understanding.
Chinamasa is a seasoned party cadre, known for his ability to navigate complex political issues. Alongside Minister Made, he played a pivotal role in the legal framework that underpinned the landmark Land Reform program, enacted despite significant international scrutiny.
Following the events of 2017, Chinamasa was instrumental in facilitating a legally sound campaign to bring back ED. Furthermore, he has been a key contributor to the 2030 agenda, which involves a strategic alignment of reforms with national law.

Here is a comprehensive clarification of the protocols governing ZANU-PF's approach to Central Committee candidacy for individuals who do not fulfill standard eligibility criteria. The provision for waivers serves as an established mechanism that has been used before.
Previously this channel has benefited individuals such as Simbarashe Mumbengegwi, Sekai Nzenza, Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube, and former Health Minister Obadiah Moyo.
The Politburo, as the main decision-making entity outside Congress, oversees this. Members who fail to meet the conventional standards such as 5 years of service at the provincial or DCC levels still have the opportunity to contest for a Central Committee position.

Mutsvangwa harbours ambitions of being Zanu PF leader& sees both VP Chiwenga& Tagwirei as stumbling blocks to the realisation of that dream. The spirited press conferences against Tagwirei are an opportune moment for him to decimate the figure of one of his supposed opponents.
Unfortunately the party, in a seemingly naive move, is indulging his whims. In February in an interview with DugUp he launched an attack on VP Chiwenga, labelling him cruel, illiterate and an electoral liability.
That he is now onto Tagwirei isn’t coincidence but a calculated move in a bigger agenda towards what he has always aspired for, ZANU PF and ultimately national leadership. It's just illusionary that he appears to have a case because he doesn't.

1/The Tagwirei issue has come to epitomize the myriad failings inherent in contemporary politics. It shows how the political landscape is constantly being re-designed to serve the interests of those already in power constantly conjuring new things to block new ideas& individuals. Image
2/It evokes Kasukuwere's metaphor regarding ZANU PF laws, as crafted upon sands of the beach, easily swept away by the caprices of water. Today one thing tomorrow another to convenience a specific clique.
3/We now face a strange development where vehicles, ostensibly donated to individuals, must be registered in the name of the party, an argument premised on the notion that the party is the ultimate beneficiary and prime reason for such donations.

While the removal of Tagwirei was in line with the need for ratification of his membership the method in which it was done makes the incident very unfortunate. This was a simple issue that could have been handled differently& avoided the current drama& conspiracies.
One cannot help but ponder the lost opportunity for the matter to be addressed with the measured dignity it deserves, particularly considering the circumstances surrounding his ascent. It is, after all, an established fact that he emerged as a product of a legitimate initiative.
In the interests of party cohesion, there was little justification for the hasty imposition of measures that the President may not have endorsed. A more judicious approach would have been to await the First Secretary's perspective before embarking on any resolutions.

Being acutely aware of the procedural intricacies surrounding impeachment, I could easily dismiss Gambakwe's ravings. However, it is alarming to recognize that many individuals genuinely subscribe to these disjointed narratives. The lack of understanding is disturbing.
During the impeachment motion directed at President Mugabe I was involved at a high level. Initially,Maridadi was slated to propose& I would second. It was changed later that Monica Mutsvangwa sponsor it, with Maridadi seconding. Thus I have intimate knowledge of this process.
Contrary to the current climate, 2017 witnessed a notable cohesion among the political parties. ZANU legislators and War Veterans were unequivocal in their demand for Mugabe’s ousting, and the opposition stood in solidarity, with its leaders openly endorsing the endeavor.
