1/ The morning after #25October #AntiSanctionsDay ;

• Zimbabweans' don't understand the impact of sanctions
• Corruption and sanctions are two different issues
• Corruption is a cancer that we are all fighting, we can't use it to sanitize illegal and imperialistic sanctions
2/ We will only find solutions for the problems bedeviling our country when we learn to separate the problems and deal with them separately without political propaganda agitation.

• Sanctions separately, sanctions are evil

• Corruption separately, corruption is bad
#25October
3/ We must never allow our hatred for ZANUPF to cloud our objectivity
All opposition forces should try to have a full understanding of these sanctions. There are 2 distinct forms of sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe
1. Targeted Sanctions
2. Sanctions imposed on our STATE INSTITUTIONS
4/After the Zimbabwean Army successfully helped the PanAfricanist Laurent Kabila to crush the Western backed rebels in DRC led by Wamba dia Wamba, George W Bush declared Zimbabwe a threat to US Foreign Policy which led to the imposition of ZIDERA in 2001 on our STATE INSTITUTIONS
5/ Government credit lines were frozen & any international bank that traded with Zim was going to be punished. Our ZDF owned Zimbabwe Defence Industries were also sanctioned in 2003 because of the DRC Second War of 1998. #25October #AntiSanctions
6/ The Land Reform Program also angered Bush leading to the imposition of ZIDERA on our STATE INSTITUTIONS. Then leaders of the MDC applauded & encouraged more sanctions on Zimbabwe to make the economy scream.
If you support Sanctions, you need to be exiled from this country ASAP

1/ My response to the SONA address by President @edmnangagwa

We appreciate the State of the Nation Address (SONA). We feel that some issues expressed were over exaggerated and thus we respond on the contentious issues raised by the SONA.

#LEADresponseToSONA
2/ We applaud the efforts of road rehabilitation by the government and expect the project to be completed by mid 2022 all over Zimbabwe. Considering that Zimbabwe is a landlocked country, we expect commitment by government to prioritize...

#LEADresponseToSONA
3/...Rail rehabilitation and restore NRZ to it's former glory of a fast, efficient and affordable bulk transporter of goods in Zimbabwe. Rail transport has the capacity to lure the much needed forex if the rail regulations are followed according to the book as was before.

1/ I have never heard men saying lets support a man even if he is wrong because he is a man? I have seen men calling out other men for their wrongs and I have never heard any of them saying how can you do that to another man? Who appointed some women to be conscience perfects?
2/ Why do some women feel like they have a right to infringe on other women's right to freedom of conscience? Every person has the universal right to freedom of opinion and freedom of conscience. You cried for my opinion when I was silent, I gave you my opinion & you cry foul.
3/ I don't owe anyone any allegiance or bootlicking. I speak my mind without fear or favour neither am I God who can make everyone happy. To the media you can sensationalize my opinions with your misleading headlines all you want I am not moved an inch.

1/ HAVING seen this treacherous circulating notice code named “OPERATION DUDULA –
where the content demands a “South Africa for south Africans first” promising death and
destruction to foreign nationals and defenceless refugees in SA;
...
2/...AND noting that this OPERATION DUDULA is targeting to remove by any means possible
“...ALL ILLEGAL FOREIGN NATIONALS BY FORCE” FROM “...INSIDE SHOPS
AND HAWKERS”;
3/ As @LEADZim2023 we view such operations by civilian South African population against foreign nationals inhumane & have led to serious injuries, deaths & missing people. We are all Africans despite being divided by the borders which were determined by a grouping of white people

@basera_john two quick questions
1. Cotton farming season of 2019/2020 small scale farmers were paid in groceries and up to date the buyers still owe the farmers. What is the plan this farming season? We need to be serious with how we treat our farmers. #ZimAgricRising
2/ Farmers are the backbone of our agro-economy. There is a void left after our textile industry was messed up by cheap chinese clothing & mazitye. If ever we have to be serious about reviving this industry, the Ministry that sets up prices for cotton should show seriousness...
3/ & look after the farmer who grows cotton. Its unacceptable that @CottcoZim & other buyers alike, can expect free cotton lint as if its grown in the wilderness. Like all other crops, a competitive price should be set up & a budget to buy the cotton should be in place on time.

1/ Dear @edmnangagwa

A listening President listens to the plight of the people he leads. The commuting public is in distress with shortage of ZUPCO buses. School commuting children are always late at school, women are being abused in queues & it is now a mammoth task to commute
2/ It is imperative to add the fleet of commuters that used to operate under ZUPCO so as to provide an efficient, reliable & fast transport service to the commuting public in Zim. A minute lost in business is money lost. The buses operating under ZUPCO are failing to meet demand
3/ Lastly @zupcobus should ensure that they have buses designated for students & ensure that they service all routes as some commuters have to walk long distances to ZUPCO pick up points. Transport co-operatives a like Tshova Mubaiwa in Bulawayo should be permitted to operate.

1/ Dear @edmnangagwa

Zimbabweans were marginalized & thrown to ubproductive land during the colonial era. Hondo yeminda successfully managed to get some of that land back though it was done in a haphazard manner. #MrPresident the youth in Zimbabwe want farming land.2
2/ They want it yesterday and not tomorrow, for tomorrow will never come. As a president also, in my own right, I have been working flat out to reorient young people on the importance of being productive & owning the means of production. Young people have no land, have no jobs...
3/...& their future is bleak. Young people are hopeless, helpless and feel useless because of the high levels of poverty in our country right now. The least you can do is to revert to the liberation struggle plan to repossess land & have evey Zimbabwean benefiting from our land
