1/9 In a shocking 3 Jan 2022 letter to @ZECzim, @OurMDCT President @DMwonzora says his party will contest 26 March 2022 by-elections as MDC-Alliance, of which he falsely says he's the President, allegedly based on the 2017 Alliance pre-2018 election pact!
zimlive.com/2022/01/12/im-…
2/9 If allowed by @ZECzim or the courts to appease @edmnangagwa; the quest by Hon @DMwonzora & his @OurMDCT to contest the 26 March 2022 by-elections as MDC-A would confirm Zim as a PARIAH STATE. The quest has no basis in the expired 2017 multiparty pact!
drive.google.com/file/d/1yoCiQd…
3/9 Hon @DMwonzora and his @OurMDCT present their quest to contest the by-elections as a LEGAL MATTER, premised on the 2017 pre-2018 election pact, but their ARGUMENTS ARE ALL PROPAGANDA based on an Agreement that expired long ago when the 2017 Alliance did not form Govt in 2018!
4/9 The 2017 pre-election Alliance pact that expired in 2018, after the Alliance did not win the poll to form a govt which would have extended the pact to 2023, had one & clear identity which was to use, NOT A COMMON NAME but a COMMON ELECTION ELECTION SYMBOL for all candidates!
5/9 The expired 2017 Alliance pact says "each alliance partner candidate shall seek nomination at the Nomination Court under its name but using the ALLIANCE COMMON SYMBOL"; yet @DMwonzora's ZEC letter lists only @OurMDCT officials to approve nominations; even for OTHER PARTIES!
6/9 Falsely, @DMwonzora & @OurMDCT say the expired pact provided that the leader of the Alliance would be the MDC-T leader. No. It said the "PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE" would be the "BEST INDIVIDUAL who can win the election" & specifically named that individual as MORGAN TSVANGIRAI!
7/9 In his letter to @ZECzim, Hon @DMwonzora says he is President of the MDC-Alliance; but the expired 2017 pre-election pact did not create OFFICES or OFFICERS; it only provided for ELECTION CANDIDATES; Tsvangirai was the presidential candidate, not President, of the Alliance!
8/9 As a result of the Supreme Court judgment of 31 March 2020 in the Mashavira case, Hon @DMwonzora is debatably Tsvangirai's successor as MDC-T leader; but it is not debatable that he did not and could not inherit Tsvangirai's popularity as the "BEST PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE"!
9/9 All told @OurMDCT's claim to the MDC-A name is based on a non-existent 2017 pre-election Alliance Agreement that expired in 2018; and Hon @DMwonzora's claim that he is President of the MDC-A is based on a non-existent office, not even in the 2017 pre-2018 election Agreement!

AMERICA'S @wesbeal: @PacheduZW's LYNCHPIN

1/24 Recently, @PacheduZW, which falsely claims to be wholly run by Zimbabweans, boasted that in 2021 it "SPENT THE ENTIRE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY" demonising me.

The boast was in a hateful response to the 'Apology letter' to ZanuPF members!
2/24 Since its launch just before the 2018 general election, @PacheduZW has routinely claimed that it is a wholly Zimbabwean entity, formed and run by CITIZENS; some domiciled in and others outside the country.

But this claim is false, in dangerous ways!

3/24 A week before the 2018 general election, @PacheduZW introduced its 11 team members, all presented as "patriotic" Zimbabweans; six based outside the country and five supposedly based in Zimbabwe but "chose to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals"!

1/18 The release of #CCC's "7 electoral reform demands" has exposed the telling fact that the party and its loquacious trolls don't know that election results in Zim are ANNOUNCED, in real time at polling stations, immediately after vote counting. This is huge for vote defence!
2/18 In terms of s37C of the Electoral Act, see attachment, Zimbabwe's election system has five electoral centres.

These five election centres have complementary roles; with each having its own election return (called a V-Form) and a distinct function in the election system!
3/18 In terms of s38 of the Electoral Act, attached, Zimbabwe's plebiscite harmonises three elections that are run simultaneously:

General (parliamentary), local authority and presidential elections.

Results of these elections are ANNOUNCED in real riltme at polling stations!

1/24 While I'm sad I cannot continue to respond to each and all of them, I'm heartened by the deluge of DMs asking for the reason for the crude slurs I get from @nelsonchamisa supporters; which reflect deep-seated hatred as they have also targeted my sister and my late daughter!
2/24 The reason for the slurs I am getting is @nelsonchamisa himself. While he feigns ignorance and appears to be silent amid the slurs, Nelson has in fact used his seeming silence as a cover to fan and fuel the slurs. He has rebuffed all efforts to get him to address the slurs!
3/24 In the circumstances, the only rational option left is for me to transparently and objectively address the reason for the crude #CCC slurs, one way or another; away from @Twitter at an appropriate time, as soon as practically possible. This I shall do, without prejudice!

1/16 The saga of a "structureless" & constitutionless #CCC has put a spotlight on the legal status of political parties in Zim. While the Constitution in s3 declares Zim as a 'multi-party democratic system', it does not define the nature, functions & rights of political parties!
2/16 In the Bill of Rights the Constitution of Zimbabwe, under s67 dealing with political rights, does not distinguish between "a political party" and "an organisation". Effectively, this means a political party is an organisation. It follows that an organisation is a structure!
3/16 Apropos s67 of the Constitution, the Electoral Act defines a political party as "any political organisation". Since an organisation is a structure, this means that a political party is not a particular structure; but any structure; whose type must be given or made known!

1/15 From 11 to 13 April 2022, a property of US's @NDI on 85 Ebene Cybercity, Quatre Bornes, Mauritius hosted a secret meeting to plot an audacious and violent "Eswatini Winter Revolution", slated for June 2022; funded by @NDI, listed as the "Principal" on the meeting's agenda! Image
2/15 The @NDI's Mauritius coup plot against Eswatini was attended by Srdja Popovic, Slobadan Dinovic, Mohamed Adel, Maryam Al-Khawaja, Mona Eltahawy, Danya Bashir, Justine Lavarde, Kumi Naidoo, Mariela Belski & Zweli Martin Dlamini. What follows are details of the @NDI coup plot!
3/15 DAY ONE was for a presentation by @zweli_martin, leader of a multi-national paramilitary outfit called " Eswatini Democratic Forces", whose elements include South Africans & immigrants from @SADC_News recruited by @MmusiMaimane. Attached are minutes of Zweli's presentation!

1/5 The gruesome lynching of Elvis Nyathi a Zimbabwean stoned & burnt alive in South Africa is not a result of "illegal" or "forced" immigration, as claimed by political vultures in SA and Zim; it's Afrophobia, a dreadful South African hate crime not seen anywhere else in Africa!
2/5 For context, South Africa is neither exemplary nor a leader among hosts to"illegal" or "forced" immigrants, commonly known as refugees, in Africa. Leaders, non of which is Afrophobic, are Uganda, Liberia, Sudan, South Sudan, Kenya, Ethiopia & Cameroon!
nrc.no/perspectives/2…
3/5 The mixed response of SA govt officials to the gruesome lynching of Elvis Nyathi is outrageous, unacceptable but telling: tragically, maybe due to their shellacking in the recent local govt elections, the subliminal message of @MYANC ministers is Afrophobic & anti-Zimbabwean!
