The tragedy is that both are correct. Time has proved that white Zimbabweans are capable administrators and run things well; this is a fact, not an opinion. ZANUPF chased them from the farms, yet today they own almost all the well-run downstream farming businesses. Many are…
The craziest criteria I hear young black mothers using choosing crèche yemwana is “kune mateacher varungu”, and the fathers say “kune vana vema minister” 🙆🏽♂️
This is a new documentary film about how some evil Zimbabweans scammed their compatriots out of millions of dollars by selling fake passages to work in the United Kingdom. It is a reflection of how some Zimbabweans have lost their sense of shame. youtu.be/NaYwSHPk1n0
I have had loads of discussions with colleagues and friends about South Africa’s intervention in the Gaza genocide. What South Africa did was stand up for little Muhammad. It is being attacked by America because of that and accused of taking money from Iran. If America has…
Yesterday, a terrible accident that killed 17 people happened in Zimbabwe. It left government critics numb because what they had long warned against had happened. The dead lay crying for help for three hours under the weight of a truck, but there was no available crane to lift…
Harare yawumbuka weduwe. To imagine that the President’s office is less than 500 metres from where this picture was taken today is shocking, given the state of public infrastructure.
A council official parked on the pavement and did not receive a fine or clamp, while ordinary citizens are issued penalties for comparable minor offenses. @JMafume 📸 New Zimbabwe
This is not only a problem for South Africa, it is a disaster for all countries that have meaningful trade relations with South Africa. If South Africa loses aid, or if this leads to the withdrawal of trade benefits like AGOA, other countries will suffer too including Zimbabwe…
The US Congress is considering a bill to impose sanctions against some ANC leaders. The House Foreign Affairs Committee approved the bill on Tuesday. This over SA's close ties with Russia, China and the country's case against Israel at the ICJ. #ANC #Sactions
Why does ZANUPF lie about such silly things? Embarrassing and nauseating!
The Robert Mugabe International Airport has outshined Johannesburg and Cape Town, emerging as the most advanced airport in the SADC region and ranking among Africa's top 5-star rated airports.
Prof Arthur Mutambara has a new book out titled; Deploying Artificial Intelligence to Achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals: Enablers, Drivers and Strategic Framework Congratulations, Professor. Your contribution to Artificial Intelligence and to deepening our…
The staggering, unprecedented and transformative power of Artificial Intelligence must be harnessed to address socio-economic and political problems worldwide. Yes, there are dangers and risks presented by this technology. Indeed, these fears must be explored, understood,…
Tell people the TRUTH so that they can make informed decisions! When @daddyhope advised the Youth to Leave and seek opportunities elsewhere, he was attacked! He was telling the uncomfortable truth that snake oil salesmen don’t want to hear!
Sad story. May the souls of the deceased rest in peace. It is tragic to hear that there was no crane when it was needed. Our country continues to suffer from a deadly mix of neglect, incompetence, and misplaced priorities.

Kenny Kunene confirms that he was at the murder suspect home, Katiso “KT” Molefe when he was arrested by the SAPS. Molefe and three others have been charged with murder of Oupa John Sefoka, known as DJ Sumbody. Kunene spoke exclusively to #eNCA. #DStv403
When police descended on the Sandton home of alleged DJ Sumbody murder mastermind Katiso “KT” Molefe, they found Patriotic Alliance deputy president Kenny Kunene waiting for a meeting. | @wicks_jeff brnw.ch/21wUkgf
I am listening to a live broadcast by the ZANUPF spokesman, Chris Mutsvangwa — their level of delusion knows no bounds!
@bbmhlanga @daddyhope @TrevorNcube When I was arrested, thrown into filthy police cells, and later locked in Chikurubi Women’s Prison, it was easy to feel forgotten, isolated, silenced, and vulnerable. @bbmhlanga my family is forever grateful for yo support & counsel #FreeSpeech
We need to stop this self-pity and the arguments rooted in exceptionalism. Africa is not the only continent that was colonised by Europeans; Asia and the Middle East were also colonised. Why is Zimbabwe dysfunctional while Singapore is a first-world country, when both were…
I am sure there many pioneers from the BSAC whole businesses were initially failures. We are on year 45 now and competing with folks with a 100 year hair. Beginners failure is part of the learning curve and in next 30 years, there will be more like Econet, Nyaradzo, Masawara, etc
Black people are not inherently incompetent; African countries fail because the wrong people are in charge. There is no culture of competence in our communities. We are tribal—so if someone incompetent is from your tribe, you will support them regardless of that incompetence.…
The other aspect to this is that white people owing to colonialism have been leading businesses and institutions in this country for maybe six generations and knowledge passed down. They failed terribly before eventual mastery.We are perhaps second generation but fast catching up
BREAKING: Kenya’s most prominent activist Boniface Mwangi to be charged in court for having unlicensed ammunition because of “three teargas canisters” and a blank round displayed at his office
They are taking @bonifacemwangi to Kahawa Law Courts (Kamiti Rd). I still hope that there are good judges, led by the constitution and stand by truth and justice, that Indeed may justice be our shield and defender🙏🏾
The police have come to our home in Courage Base and are taking my husband, talking of terrorism and arson! They’ve taken his gadgets and said they are taking him to DCI Hq. I can’t breath😭
I agree with the ANC on this issue. Jacob Zuma has every right to support whoever he wants as an individual or as a member of a political party called MK. But using South Africa’s flag to endorse a colonial occupation that South Africa officially opposes was both unethical and…
THE ANC CONDEMNS THE UNWARRANTED USE OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN FLAG IN FOREIGN POLITICAL ENGAGEMENTS THAT UNDERMINE NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY
