1. My greatest fear, is that we have been under the rulership of a single party that is inept, corrupt and cruel. It is like being born during a war, you grow up knowing nothing else but war. The scarcity mindset sets in and becomes default for a generation.
2. A wile generation, does. not organically espouse democratic ideals. When I looked up the people who tortured Tawanda Muchehihwa on Facebook, there are people all born in the early to mid 80s. They are cruel and sadistic savages...and they are my age!
3. The CIO they have joined, is no different from the early 80s CIO of sinking people in acid, they call themselves Ferrets, individuals that are from the born free era but are as violent as the Kasukuweres and Jabulani Sibandas of this world.
4. We need to win more people for change than we imagine, it is not a battle for votes, but a battle for the minds and hearts of the nation. To convince them that there is a better way, a way in which honest hard work is rewarded.
5. How do we convince the guys in Harare CBD that trafficking drugs and humans is not a worthy occupation, that it cannot be classified as "hustling" but it is crime?! The task ahead is getting bigger as long as thugs disguised as Government remain in power.
6. Because we are in a crisis state, criminal deeds are deemed to be legitimate "hustle", clinging on to corrupted politicians and politically exposed individuals has become a virtue. Corruption oils too many daily transactions, it is now second nature, even our mothers are in it
7. The reason why we must insist on building a different type of politics and politicians is that the toxicity built nurtured and cultivated by the Jonathan Moyo and Charambas cannot remain part of us. That is the reason why we need a new breed, no recycling!
8. Explain to me, how Kasukuwere, who to this day denies even being present at Chaona where people were murdered were he was identified by eye witness becomes the prime candidate? The fact that he has supporters is indicative that we only know one way of doing things.
9. That way, how this nation has been run, by these same people who now pontificate on democracy today is not the right way. There is no new path they can lead us to, they broke this nation, that is the only model they know, let's not let them poison the country's future again!
10. Each day spent under Zanu-PF rule poisons the country, like a gangrenous wound, consuming even the healthy flesh until the whole appendage has to be to amputated. Zanu PF in all its manifestations is unfit to craft a better and different future, to save Zimbabwe #ZanuPfMustGo

1. The humbling thing about leaving ZImbabwe, is that you move from having Elders who have invented nothing and are not globally relevant but want you to lick their entire bodies to talking to the pioneers of your field who insist that you call them with their first names😩
2. Imagine, talking the person who literally made the most important findings in your field and they want nothing from you apart from giving you all the skills and attention to make you great! You are not seen as competition but as a branch on a big tree, to bear more fruit.
3. I once spoke to this other big person, they have more than 300 published papers, and they thought that I was a great fit for one of the projects they were doing. Never did they try to remind me how big they were, it was as if I was the big person 🤣...the issue was about me!

1. Zanu-PF is an equal opportunity abuser.
In 2019 January, when soldiers went on a rampage raping community members, there was a murakashi here on Twitter who got his sister raped 💔. The young man started looking for a gun to shoot someone 💔💔
2. Joyce Mujuru was at the Zenith of her powers when she was elected VP, she was a powerful politician within Zanu PF, with a storied liberation history she had all the credentials. But when she fell on one faction, she became public enemy and was abused and booted out.
3. Savior Kasukuwere was notoriously violent and murderous with eye witnesses placing him at scenes where people were killed and he l
earned himself the name Paraquat, because he loved to pour the pesticide on opposition member's wounds to delay and impede healing.

1. I hope it is now clear, that there is no political violence that happens in Zimbabwe without the full consent and support of seemingly innocent members of society. From Gukurahundi,1999, 2000,2002,2008 etc, there are people who support such brutal acts.
2. They come in 2 forms,a group that blames the victims for being stupid and not knowing that Zanu-PF is violent, and another group that places 100% approval on the very acts of violence. Our communities are violent and many rejoice when the opposition is attacked.
3. This is exactly why Gukurahundi succeeded, SOME community members in other parts of the country at that time felt that the killing of unarmed citizens was justified. Unless we stop this behavior, it will consume us & when it is our turn to cry no one will be there.

1. You will try to move heaven and earth to pay your children's school fees in South Africa from Zimbabwe. The Perm Sec or Boss Tagwi will just do it direct 😂. And you think you live in the same version of Zimbabwe that he does, no, they live in the Premium Subscription version.
2. Where you can get 3Bln and refuse to attend any parliamentary portfolio committee to explain how you used each dollar. Enough money to build and run new top notch hospitals for at least 20yrs! When you show up, you just say we didn't get 3Bln and walk away case closed!
3. We want one Zimbabwe, equal for all and to all. 2009 your account was FCA, 2016 it was FCA with both USD and Bond, 2018 it became Zim dollar but for those in the Premium Subscription version of Zimbabwe their accounts remained the same, in USD.

1. Only that I'm very busy these days preparing for a manuscript submission, but I think this Preprint has a great need to be analysed and its findings put in the bigger context. @TChivese

2. As usual, the media hypes one specific narrative despite the authors themselves advocating for more work to avoid skew and bias. I suggest we hold a Space more like a Journal Club discussion. People get 1 week to read the paper contact authors if they want then we discuss.
3. This is purely an academic exercise, to really get into the intestines of the paper and ask the hard questions and interrogate everything.
@TinofaMutevedzi @SibandaSibbs @TChivese @mdimairo @llgonde what say ye? Everyone is welcome to attend with questions or additions.

1. "Zimbabwe’s aviation system had, since 2010, operated without a surveillance system, the air traffic controllers told the CAAZ board."

2. "Investigations also established that the South African aviation authority has, at times, picked potential collisions in Zimbabwean air space and alerted local ATCs."
3. “They (ATCs) highlighted that … CAAZ and ACZ (Airport Company of Zimbabwe) are allowing airports to operate without the presence of ATCs and that there is a disaster in the making,” the minutes noted...
