What happens next?
🧵
1/n Let me sum up before going into the details:

1. There will be no GNU
2. There will be no rerun.
3. Chamisa is in a fix and is finished.
4. His MPs will not forfeit and sacrifice their win for his loss.
5. Inauguration will go on in the next few days Image 2/n CCC has announced that they reject the elections outcome in toto. They claim they will announce a 30-day campaign which citizens must support to campaign for a rerun.

This is a hard-brained manouvre which is a bridge to nowhere by a failed Chamisa 😂 Image

Zambia & the IMF Loan 🧵
1/5
 The blog post by Sean Tembo is the most cogent analysis on @HHichilema’s troubled dalliance with IMF I have read to date

Let me summarize it for you:

1. IMF fooled Zambia into taking a loan lying it would help @HHichilema restructure Zambia’s debt 2/5
2.Hichilema first first announced taking an IMF loan before he had a cabinet, meaning some people where handling him.

3. IMF then gave Zambia tough conditions for the loan

3. Zambia met all the IMF conditions for the loan: cutting subsidies, increasing fuel prices etc.

Random facts 🧵
1/ Strive Masiyiwa turned 62 yesterday.

Unknown to many, Strive was one of the earliest indigenization activists in Zimbabwe. He also made millions of dollars from GVT tenders - he qualifies as what we wld today call a tenderpreneur. Image 2/ During his indigenization activist days, Strive & others formed the earliest indigenisation lobby called Indigenous Business Development Centre (IBDC) founded in Dec 1990 but formed officially on 1 Feb 1991.

Strive was the Sec-General of IBDC - a very vocal one at that. Image
