1. I see @nickmangwana posting about how Govt is giving rural workers a chance to shop in Urban areas. The biggest problem we have is ignorance. In the 80s Mugabe sabotaged the Growth Point model which was supposed to bring modernity to Rural areas and broaden the economy.
2.He wanted to centralize everything and create avenues for always having people wait for Govt intervention and not take control of their destiny in their locality. 42 years after independence we are celebrating mediocrity like this
3. We should be talking about how many Growth Points have been transformed into modern cities but nope we celebrate that rural workers can now go to urban centers for shopping. This Government is not fit for purpose.

1. If only Zanu PF was a party like other parties, not depending on the State to carry out its political activities, pillaging the State and using the security agencies for settling its political scores, then for sure, we would not worry about who sings for them at what rally.
2. But Zanu-PF is not any ordinary party, it is a cruel, malevolent and deeply evil entity. It revels in the oppression of others and scoffs at democratic processes. It has entrenched dictatorship with a unique brand of cruelty.
3. As such choosing to support Zanu-PF is always going to attract questions on one's integrity. There is no redeemable quality it posseses, just looting and oppression. Most of us pretend not to know that we are under a dictatorship. The ZPF Govt IS the oppressor.

1. If we had invested in Post Traumatic disorder treatment for the 1980 Cabinet we could have saved many lives. Imagine a paranoid person like Mutsvangwa inheriting an entire State architecture that was also paranoid about uprisings and rebellion.
2. The guys were traumatized and unwell mentally and unfortunately they got into a State system that was also securocratic and paranoid. It was a ticking time bomb, as soon as the opportunity arose they had found an enemy to go after.
3. Our Govt cannot exist without a Boogeyman or enemy to go after. They are not defined by the aspirations they have for the citizens but by what they always seek to "fight". The entire country is a crime scene, evidence of paranoia is seen in the daily SIs that are passed.

1. Dear Zim, healing a genocide entails very uncomfortable conversations. Some of us only tell in part because telling the stories will retraumatize those we know. However, when we say some things, they are only a tip of the iceberg. There are mountains of trauma wc are hidden
2. To build relationships that last, we must sit through these sessions which are akin to a visit to the dentist without anesthesia. If you are not yet prepared to have these conversations, steer clear and observe, lest you cause harm and fray relationships.
3. Develop the ability to listen, thank God for those who speak out, those who provoke you to think harder, at least they have spoken. Some will not speak but act, those are the ones I fear because they have given up on Zimbabwe.

1. There was a guy who I used to see at this other place where we played pool/billiards. He was always smartly dressed and definitely looked like he was in the money.
2. Those who were closer to him said he had one business: ZESA tenders 🤣. Even if you came with a different business idea or deal he would simply remark "haa imboitai imimi mozondiudza", he only did ZESA tenders.
3. He had someone on the inside who would consistently give him tenders. That's all he came into the CBD for, he's get to the CBD park and play pool whilst waiting for the call. That was his life. ZESA tenders nothing else.

1. Newsflash!
Guys, I have people I know, in 2022, who can't stand Shona. Not because they hate Shona people, but the way the language was abused by 5th Brigade as a tool of demeaning them and victimizing them they struggle. 40 yrs after they are still affected.
2. Remember this, as adults, we spend all our lives getting over what happened in early childhood. Speak to anyone today, ask them the reason for their pain and behavior, early childhood is enduring in its impact.
3. Imagine, your parent being raped and killed and you are forced to sing and dance in a specific language that you don't know. I know friends in SA, who don't want to speak Afrikaans because of the manner in which they were victimized and how the language was forced on them.

1. Tsitsitsi 😂. Gentrumen, all your mineral resources are priced by organizations outside the African continent. You can't even sell each other oil for fuel, you don't even have a continental research entity to build the Africa that you want.
2. You all fund secret spies to track activists abroad and where possible kill them but fail to send those spies to learn about how pretty nations have succeeded. When the globe looks at you, they see that all some of you want is to be called President.
3. So they will help you oppress your own whilst they get what they want. You'll use money given to you by them to entrench cults of personality and not cults of development because your goals are all local. You don't threaten the global order in any way.
