1] When a whole Chief admits that he has had to swap jackets & vigorously campaign for his muzukuru, ED, & ZanuPF, then know he's part of the problem.

Chief simply need to maintain their identity as traditional leaders, and use that authority to lead their communities.
2] As long as Chiefs allow themselves to be entangled in partty politics, those actually occupying higher posts within those political institutions, will treat them as subordinates.

Chiwenga clearly spoke like he was reprimanding his party's self-proclaimed Provincial Commissar.
3] Individually & collectively, Chiefs needs to start conversations on how to reclaim their autonomy & identity.

They equally need not treat elected leaders as their equals, for their sources of authority are different.

They are Chiefs, ED is not a King.
4] Regardless, the Chief raised critical issues which ordinarily should be the ones being "investigated", & not the Chief himself.

Sadly, because the Chief is admittedly a ZanuPF member, his message & genuine grievances are now both drowned in party factional contradictions.
5] As for Gen Chiwenga, his statement should remind us, of the importance of the running mate clause.

Such a powerful post can't be occupied by a man with such a mindset.
Equally concerning is that Chiwenga is a 'technicality' away from occupying the highest office in the land.
6] Found it sad how the Chiefs were ullulating & laughing while their institution was being belittled, yet they're being prepared for 2023 rigging.

Come 2023, the electorate must "touch" both Monomutapa & his excitable General who can't even respect his own children.

enkosi!

1] Here's a hypothetical question:

Wasn't Sen Komichi & Mwonzora with Dr MRT, when he was taken to court over the appointment of Mudzuri & Adv Chamisa?

What then does he mean when he says: "we worked tirelessly for that judgement", which went against their party & ex leader?
2] another hypothetical question:

How often have we heard DM & Komichi claim they campaigned vigorously for Nero?

Does it make sense, in relation to their admission that they were plotting against Nero, since the 2018 Nat Council Komichi chaired, which made him their candidate?
3] another hypothetical question:

How does a respondent "work tirelessly" for a Supreme Court judgement which they loose, whilst holding a prepared speech accepting and celebrating the judgement?

What was the role of Mwonzora,Komichi et al, in the court application, & outcome?

"Mtuli Ncube's budget was one of the most dishonest budgets ever presented. It was technically unsound & doesn't meet the test for credibility. This was a man just going through a ritualistic formality since Sec 302 of the Con demands he goes through the process"
2] @BitiTendai

"Mtuli Ncube presented a ZW $900 billion budget using an exchange rate of 1:105, the official exchange rather on the day he presented the budget, on the 27th of November 2021. It is a USD $8.7 billion budget. This economy can't collect USD $8.7 billion"
3] @BitiTendai:

"you can't collect USD $8.7 billion in an economy where more than 90% of our people are unemployed; where more than 70% are in the informal sector; where according to the World Bank & other sources, 50%/70% of our people are living in extreme poverty"

1] Nothing screams incompetence, & exposes the leadership kwashioker in Harare, more than these PR stunts being pulled by ZanuPF, in their fight over the sanctions.

Outside these optics, this so called "UN Special Rapporteur" is just another European on holiday in Zimbabwe.
2] From the get-go, ZanuPF has never been interested in having an honest conversation over sanctions, with anyone.

After years of blaming Tsvangirai, they moved to Mugabe, now their it's all on Chamisa

How/Why then should ZanuPF be seen as being sincere?

#NgaapindeHakeMukomana
3] But perhaps more concerning, or is it embarrassing, is how ZanuPF is prepared to talk to anyone, except the countries they blame for imposition of sanctions.

Its embarrassing how Mnangagwa enjoys hiding behind fatigued politicians & international crooks in his sanctions fight

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".

"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.."
