1] Mukoma @DMwonzora, the whole press conference you had today, is but a reaffirmation of the fact that youre not a significant player, in as far as Zim politics is concerned.

If anything, the whole press statement sounded like your desperate attempt to craw back to relevance.
2] As for the substantive issues you raised, you raised an interesting issue

You claimed that 'councilors are not technical people who understand finer details of such deals'

How do you reconcile this, with the fact that it was your MDC dominated Council, that signed this deal?
3] How does it happen, that your party which supposedly fielded Councilors in 2018, won a majority be in council,wherein they sign deals they don't understand?

What message are you communicating to voters & citizenry of Harare, through this bizarre admission, mukoma @DMwonzora?
4] You equally made an interesting admission, that as MDC, you only but recently got the documentation on the #Pomona deal, subsequently tasking your VP, Engineer Mudzuri, to review it.

Using what logic, do you now investigate a deal, your Councilors long signed & sealed off?
5] Doesn't logic dictate what should've happened as soon as your party received information on this deal from central government!

As a party with Council representation (& a whole Acting Mayor then), shouldn't you have demanded/acquired all relevant information on this deal?
6] Wouldn't it had mad sense then, @DMwonzora, to constitute this investigation team, led by the very capable Eng Mudzuri:

i. Review the deal
ii. Engage all relevant stakeholders, including citizens
iii. ..and then used your council majority then, to protect citizens' interest?
7] Now, doesn't your choice of words, and evident fear in calling out both central gov & the deal itself, betray your party apparent involvement in this scandalous corruption?

Why would Central gov just 'renegotiate' their heist of a deal, when ZanuPF is clearly benefiting?
8] In short, instead of coming late to this party, where most people have since eaten and left, apologize to Harareans for your continued role in sanitizing ZanuPF's theft & mutilation of our laws

You're clearly conflicted mukoma @DMwonzora, and your mannerism betrayed this fact
9] Your presser this morning (which could've easily been addressed by Mudzuri, who showed more un-rehearsed knowledge on this issue) was highly meaningless.

Unless you're admitting that the center nolonger holds, and Councilor Mutizwa & your MDC-T Councilors acted on their own.
10] Even your electoral threats are meaningless & empty.

You've no "opponents" who want to 'easily forget you'.

You've angry citizens who since March 26th, have shown that you've no political contract with them.

They'll put a tombstone on your political grave in 2023

enkosi!

1] Fellow citizens, tomorrow is officially #YellowFriday

In the spirit of solidarity, let's play our own little roles, in calling out the continued persecution of CCC MPs, Godfrey Sithole, Job Sikhala, and the #Nyatsime13, arrested after the brutal murder of Moreblessing Ali.
2] In the same vein, let's use #YellowFriday to continue encouraging all eligible voters, to register & vote for change, come 2023

Past developments over the past month especially, have reinforced the desperate need to end the ruinous ZanuPF disaster, calling itself 2nd Republic
3] ZanuPF is clearly unrentling, in its use of lawfare & political persecutions against CCC leaders & supporters, to tighten its grip on the reigns of authority, and resist a democratic change of government.

#Fakapressure, is the only way to respond to these shenanigans.

1] A short thread....

Eventually got to read Baba Jukwa's story/article on his cite, Kukurigo regarding Fadzayi Mahere's supposed infidelity.

Unsurprisingly, I confirmed two things that were always clear from the get go, when this otherwise useless saga developed.
2] The first issue is that, the agenda is scandalizing CCC, as an institution.

Baba Jukwa couldn't resist the temptation of this interesting headline:
"CCC Spokesperson caught up in a businessman marriage collapse...".

Though it was his prerogative, that choice was deliberate.
3] To further expose how Baba Jukwa is pursuant of an agenda to scandalize CCC, he equally alleges that 'CCC senior leadership is aware of this relationship...'

Once more, he brings the CCC institution into this scandal, & by default, attacks their own individual moral standings

1] Hell hath no fury like a nutty professor...

The Bishop warned those who cared to listen, about these characters.
In return, he was scorned and labeled.
Even some Cde in the alternative cryptically attacked him and those who shared his sentiments, for 'not being accomodative'.
2] Among his many gifts, the Bishop could see lying down, what most of us could never see standing at the peak of Mount Everest

The Bishop also understood the wisdom that anything that happens once, can never happen again. But if it happens twice, it will happen for the 3rd time
3] To once more borrow some ancient wisdom, indeed every saint has a past.

Furthermore, only fools and dead people never change their minds.

That wisdom right there, advices our accomodative attitudes towards some people,,,until they once more, show their chameleonic nature.

1] Dear @ProfJNMoyo, in the spirit of engagement, I share my individual reaction to your mischief, deliberately misrepresented as a legal/intellectual argument.

I emphasize that this is my INDIVIDUAL thoughts, that shouldn't be linked to any structure nor party. 🤣

A thread....
2] Firstly, Iet me express how much I was absolutely impressed by your audacity to quote our constitution, to justify your temper tantrum.

Clearly, there's no limit to the frightening lengths you're willing to go, when your sense of superiority & self importance, is disregarded
3] Fortunately for citizens, unlike the pre-2017 era, when you had the luxury to influence state institutions against (perceived) opponents & opposition to your interests, thoughts & unholy desires, you now find yourself mostly whispering in the wind.

It's a bit of a relief.

1] Seems like debates over the structuring of CCC, just won't go away.

At face value, these conversations are political manure, that will certainly help grow our democracy.

Politically also, these conversations reinforces the position of CCC as the ultimate alternative.
2] Writing an article attached below, I did opinion that it would be naivety of the highest order, for CCC to behave, and for its supporters to equally demand that it behaves, as if Zimbabwe is a normal democracy.

Doing so, will only lead to its demise .

3] #PoliticalIdeology

I always laugh when I read that CCC has no political #Ideology.

By definition, an #ideology is a set #ideas; #beliefs; #values; and #opinions, providing #actionplans, for #public #policy making.

These spell out the party's overal #political #action.

1] Over the last couple of days, one of the most dominant topics on the blue-streets, has been the Ian Smith story

After all is said and done, what the proponents of the "Smith was better" narrative are simply expressing, is absolute disillusionment with ZanuPF's disastrous rule
2] If ZanuPF's leaders were self-respecting, they would use this debate to self introspect.

When you're a "liberation" movement, and you govern people who think you're worse than a colonial government, it means you've betrayed the liberation agenda itself.

Sit back & reflect.
3] Being combative & accusing those expressing that sentiment, of suffering from a colonial hangover, or being proponents of "a regime change agenda" is a useless, overplayed card.

Equally, claiming that those sentiments are an indictment on Chamisa, is foolishness on steroids.
