<p>National Patriotic Front (NPF) spokesperson Jealousy Mawarire says President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Government does not serve the interests of the public after Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube’s proposal in the 2024 National Budget to introduce new taxes.</p>
<p>Posting on X, Mawarire said the proposal to introduce a wealth tax is “silly”, adding the Government should find science-based solutions to challenges faced by Zimbabweans instead of making life harder for them. He said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>If our government and its officers like Mthuli Ncube sought to “serve the interests of the public” and govern the country for the people, we were NEVER going to have absurd proposals to increase taxes on our impoverished citizens, instead, we were going to witness moves that reduced the burden of over-taxation on our poor citizens.</p>
<p>If @edmnangagwa wanted to govern the country “for the people”, silly proposals to reintroduce colonial hut taxes by different names, would never have been entertained.</p>
<p>What a people-centric presidency would have done was to advance policies which seek to develop the country scientifically, providing science-based solutions to our current problems rather than compounding our troubles through anti-people policies.</p>
<p>A president who serves the people would have taken President Xi’s 14th principle, “crackdown on corruption with zero tolerance” rather than promoting &amp; being at the centre of it.</p>
<p>If we are looking East, we certainly should be copying some of the principles that are aimed at growing China into a “world player”.</p>
<p>It’s never bad to learn from others &amp; the growth of the Chinese economy in the last 2 decades cannot be ignored.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Ncube said the wealth tax will be levied at a rate of 1% of market values of residential properties with a minimum value of US$100 000.</p>

Mawarire Criticises Mthuli Ncube's "Absurd" Tax Proposals

<p><span>Former Primary and Secondary Education Minister, David Coltart, has said it is unconstitutional for the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) to demand US$187 000 for a copy of the voters’ role.</span></p>
<p><span>The Election Resource Centre (ERC) Thursday said they received the US$187 000 invoice after requesting a quotation from the electoral management body. ERC director Babra Bhebe told stakeholders at a delimitation conference in Bulawayo:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span><em>As ERC we submitted a request to Zec to have access to the voters roll that it is going to use for the delimitation process. We received a response that it can only give us the hard copy. We then went ahead and requested an invoice and we got a quotation of above US$187 00 for us to be able to access the voters roll.</em></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>Coltart, a member of the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) said ZEC’s move was in violation of the constitution. Said the law expert:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span><em>So @ZECzim says it will charge US$187,000 to provide a copy of the voters roll. Not only is this illegal it also breaches section 68 of the Constitution. It is clearly designed to prevent opposition parties from being able to audit a fraudulent voters roll. #Zimbabwe</em></span></p>
<p><span><em>And if the US$187,000 is paid only a paper copy will be provided so it will still be difficult to audit. There is no reason why an electronic copy cannot be provided, it is simply ridiculous to say that it will be manipulated. The original copy stays intact with @ZECzim.</em></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>Meanwhile, Jealousy Mawarire, a founding member and current spokesperson for the National Patriotic Front says ZEC is not the problem. He said: </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span><em>If u remove emotions, u will focus on where the problem is, the law, SI145 of 2022, which demands ZEC charges $1 a page for a printed copy of the voters roll,not the independent commission enforcing the law. Say ZEC charged anyone $0.10 when the law says $1, will that be legal?</em></span></p>

ZEC's Demand For US$187K For A Copy Of The Voters' Roll Unconstitutional - Coltart

<p><span>National Patriotic Front (NPF) party spokesperson, <strong><a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Jealousy_Mawarire">Jealousy Mawarire</a></strong> has said President Emmerson Mnangagwa is not in power because the people “who installed him” still want him there.</span></p>
<p><span>Mawarire, a journalist and the executive director and founding trustee for the <strong><a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Centre_for_Elections_and_Democracy_in_Southern_Africa_(CEDSA)">Centre for Elections and Democracy in Southern Africa (CEDSA)</a> </strong>says the “kingmakers” may opt for Chiwenga, “nothing will stop them.”</span></p>
<p><span>He was responding to a Twitter post by one Jonathan Chirandu who had said, “With both Mnangagwa &amp; his guardian Chiwenga having badly failed the leadership test, can we not say that a Chiwenga presidency is all but dead?”</span></p>
<p><span>In response, Mawarire said Mnangagwa was not elected based on competency. He said:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>Was ED elected on the basis of ability that he can be judged to have failed? As long as those who installed him still want him there, he will stay &amp; if they want Chiwenga instead, nothing will stop them, failure is the least of their concerns.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>His remarks come as Zimbabwe is gearing for the 2023 harmonised elections amid concern that they might be disputed as violence is escalating.</span></p>
<p><span>There have been reports that security chefs have a stake in the ruling ZANU PF and government and have been pulling strings to determine the country’s leadership.</span></p>

Mawarire Says ED Is Staying "As Long As Those Who Installed Him Still Want Him There"

<p><span>National Patriotic Front (NPF) party spokesperson, <strong><a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Jealousy_Mawarire">Jealousy Mawarire</a></strong> has claimed that the late former President Robert Mugabe was scheduled to retire in December 2017.</span></p>
<p><span>Mawarire, a journalist and the executive director and founding trustee for the <strong><a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Centre_for_Elections_and_Democracy_in_Southern_Africa_(CEDSA)">Centre for Elections and Democracy in Southern Africa (CEDSA)</a> </strong>says the march against Mugabe in 2017 was not about him overstaying in power.</span></p>
<p><span>He said it was meant to secure a future for then Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Vice President Constantino Chiwenga who was a military commander. He said:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><em><span>Mugabe was going in 8 months, what was the reason for plunging a country into a coup against a leader retiring in 8 months? The coup was NEVER about Mugabe going, it was about who was to replace him, simple. Anyone who thinks it was about RGM going is the one “stupid”. He had called for an extraordinary congress in December 2017 to choose his successor who was to be the Zanu-PF presidential candidate in 2018. Mugabe preferred Sydney Sekeramayi, which would have knocked out both Gen Chiwenga &amp; ED.</span></em></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>He added that Mugabe had called for an extraordinary congress in December 2017 where he was going to retire.</span></p>
<p><span><strong><a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2017/11/21/mugabe-resigns/">Mugabe resigned,</a></strong> allegedly under duress, on 21 November 2017 after leading the southern African country since the attainment of independence in 1980. In a resignation letter read by the speaker of the National Assembly, Jacob Mudenda, Mugabe said:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span><strong><em>My decision to resign is voluntary on my part and arises from my concern for the welfare of people in Zimbabwe and my desires to see a smooth, peaceful and non-violent transfer of power.</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span><em><strong>Kindly give public notice of my resignation as soon as possible as required by the constitution.</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span><em><strong>Yours faithfully, Mugabe.</strong></em></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>During his 37-year rule, Zimbabwe had mixed fortunes.</span></p>
<p><span>The nation benefited from his socialist policies but corruption by some of his cabinet ministers resulted in the collapse of the economy. </span></p>
<p><span>As the economy continued on the decline path, the citizenry grew impatient and demanded his departure, something he and the ruling ZANU PF opposed for years.</span></p>
<p><span>In 2017, members of the public marched in the streets of Harare following the army’s <strong><a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/November_2017_Military_Coup">“Operation Restore Legacy”</a></strong> which was allegedly meant to remove corrupt individuals “surrounding the president.”</span></p>
<p><span>Analysing some of the placards and posters that were being carried by protesters, Mawarire says it was clear that the citizenry “marched to remove Mugabe and install ED.”</span></p>
<p><span>Mnangagwa who had been fired as VP was in exile when the march happened. He came after Mugabe’s resignation and assumed the presidency in ZANU PF and also replaced Mugabe as president on an interim basis until the July 2018 elections.</span></p>
<p><span>Mawarire’s remarks come at the backdrop of a court case filed by Sybeth Musengezi who is challenging Mnangagwa’s ascendancy to power. He said it was unconstitutional.</span></p>
<p><span>Musengezi also wants the courts to block Mnangagwa from calling and presiding over the ZANU PF elective congress set for next month.</span></p>
<p><span>He also says Mnangagwa, at 80 years, is too old to lead the country.</span></p>

"Mugabe Was Scheduled To Retire In December 2017" - Mawarire

<p>The Nelson Chamisa-led Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) has been warned against trusting sacked MDC-T vice president Thokozani who recently endorsed the opposition party ahead of the 26 March by-elections.</p>
<p>Wearing CCC regalia, Khupe told a press conference on Monday in Bulawayo that she would support CCC in upcoming elections.</p>
<p>It was, however, not clear if Khupe had joined the party. She told reporters:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Following our previous announcement that we are going to work with like-minded opposition political parties because we are stronger together, I am therefore today announcing that we are calling on all MDC-T members and supporters to go and vote on the 26th of March for the Citizens Coalition for Change candidates across the country.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Zambia’s ruling United Party for National Development (UPND) official Joseph Kalimbwe warned CCC against giving Khupe an influential position as she will destroy the party. He said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Let them endorse but never give them any political position. Anyone who stood in the way of the citizens and their ability to achieve victory must never be politically trusted with positions of influence. They will destroy again.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>National Patriotic Front (NPF) spokesperson Jealousy Mawarire alleged that Khupe is working for ZANU PF deputy president and second secretary, Vice President Constantino Chiwenga. Said Mawarire:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You cause by-elections by recalling MPs then hold a presser to support them in their bid to go back to parliament? Only fools will take that as genuine.</p>
<p>Khupe is Gen’s project and sadly some top CCC leaders, not Prof Welshman, are pushing that agenda on behalf of the Gen, <em>chatopindwa chinhu chenyu icho… </em>(CCC has been infiltrated…).</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Khupe was fired by the MDC-T after she announced a split of the party due to differences she had with the party’s president Douglas Mwonzora.</p>

Chamisa Warned Against Trusting Thokozani Khupe

<p>National Patriotic Front (NPF) spokesperson Jealousy Mawarire has claimed former Registrar-General Tobaiwa Mudede was arrested for his opposition to the erection of Mbuya Nehanda’s statue in Haare without consulting the late spirit medium’s relatives.</p>
<p>Mudede (70) was arrested on Wednesday and subsequently taken to court charged with theft. He is out on free bail.</p>
<p>Mawarire asked why Mudede was only arrested recently when the alleged offence was committed nearly two decades ago.</p>
<p>The journalist-cum politician, who was the late former president Robert Mugabe’s close ally, also challenged President Emmerson Mnangagwa to exhume the remains of his father buried in Zambia and bring them home for a “proper” reburial before pushing for Mugabe’s exhumation. Mawarire wrote on Twitter:</p>
<blockquote><p>Zimbabweans, have u ever wondered why former Registrar Gen Tobaiwa Mudede was arrested &amp; arraigned before the courts last week? Well, Mudede is a Hwata, a Mhofu, a close relative of Charwe (Mbuya Nehanda medium) &amp; was against the erection of Charwe’s statue without the consent of the Hwata family.</p>
<p>In anger, Idhii &amp; Gen Racto reacted by having Mudede arrested for some alleged theft that happened 20 or so years ago. That’s how far the Junta-PF will go in pushing for their occultic shenanigans.</p>
<p>It’s quite clear that they left no stone unturned in their quest to erect that statue &amp; do rituals during the ceremony. In the same way, they bulldozed over family concerns in their bid to erect a statue for Charwe, they are riding roughshod over Mugabe’s family in their attempts to exhume his body &amp; do rituals at some supposed reburial at Heroes Acre.</p>
<p>But what I want to ask Pres @<span class="link-complex-target">edmnangagwa</span> &amp; @<span class="link-complex-target">nickmangwana</span> is why should ED prioritise exhuming Mugabe when ED’s father lies buried in Mumbwa, Zambia? When is @<span class="link-complex-target">edmnangagwa</span> going to exhume his own father who is buried in a foreign country in order to ‘properly’ bury him in independent Zimbabwe?</p>
<p>Hasn’t Pres Mnangagwa told us about how his father fought colonialists in Southern Rhodesia until he had to be deported to Zambia?</p>
<p>So why should we have such a gallant son of the soil lie buried in a foreign land he was banished into by the racist colonial govt of the time?</p>
<p>Doesn’t it make sense, Cde @<span class="link-complex-target">edmnangagwa</span>, that you prioritise the exhumation &amp; reburial of your father in independent Zimbabwe, even at the Heroes Acre, for out of his loins came forth our esteemed President?</p>
<p>President @<span class="link-complex-target">edmnangagwa</span>, doesn’t charity begin at home? Why would you want to exhume President Mugabe against the wishes of his children when your own father lies undisturbed in Zambia?</p>
<p>Don’t you think bringing your father home should take precedence over RGM exhumation &amp; Charwe statue?</p>
<p>Surely, President @<span class="link-complex-target">edmnangagwa</span>, if u want people to respect you, stop suspecting there are some ulterior motives pushing you to exhume RGM or erect Charwe’s statue against the wishes of the two’s close family members, you should go ahead &amp; exhume your father from Zambia and properly bury him in independent Zimbabwe?</p>
<p>I am asking as a genuine peace-loving Zimbabwean who understand the history of this country &amp; its people.</p></blockquote>

Mudede Arrested For Opposing Erection Of Mbuya Nehanda Statue - Mawarire

<p>National spokesperson of the National Patriotic Front (<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/National_Patriotic_Front_(NPF)">NPF</a>)<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Jealousy_Mawarire"> Jealousy Mawarire</a>, who was a close ally of the late former President Robert Mugabe has claimed a Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) operation has been put in motion to exhume the former’s president’s remains and rebury them at the National Heroes Acre for occultic purposes.</p>
<p>In a Twitter thread, Mawarire said the operation also involves a <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_African_National_Union_-_Patriotic_Front">ZANU PF</a> Central Committee member, local traditional leaders including Chief Zvimba, a Cabinet minister from Mashonaland West Province and a local lawyer. Wrote Mawarire:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Junta-PF coup govt has run out of ideas on turning around the economy &amp; bizarrely, Idhii now believes exhuming Pres Mugabe’s remains will turn around the fortunes of his beleaguered govt. Consequently, a CIO operation to exhume RGM’s remains has been set in motion.</p>
<p>The CIO operation includes mobilising Zvimba chiefs, led by Chief Zvimba, to force Mugabe’s family to agree to RGM’s exhumation &amp; subsequent reburial at Heroes Acre.</p>
<p>A villager, Tinos Manongovere has been identified &amp; has since made a complaint to Chief Zvimba that RGM was “improperly” interred in a courtyard at his rural home, therefore his widow, Grace, should appear before Chief Zvimba’s court in a bid to arm-twist her into acceding to the Junta-PF demands to have RGM’s remains exhumed &amp; reburied at the Heroes Acre.</p>
<p>A Zanu-PF central committee member who identifies himself as a Gushungo clan member, a Minister from Mashonaland West &amp; a local lawyer have been roped in to look at ways how the exhumation can be done. However, the lawyer has raised several questions over the envisaged exhumation.</p>
<p>In communication between the Zanu-PF Central Committee member, the Mash West Cabinet Minister &amp; the lawyer, the Harare lawyer questions the CIO operation to exhume RGM’s remains that the Central Committee &amp; Cabinet Minister are fronting.</p>
<p>The lawyer questions how feasible it is for RGM’s remains to be exhumed even if “Mai Mugabe is found to be culturally wrong” in burying RGM at his rural home. He asks “So let’s assume the traditional custom finds Mai Mugabe was on the wrong side culturally what will they do?</p>
<p>“Charge her so that vanongo ripa nyaya yopera yakadaro?” The Zanu-PF Central Committee member replies: “If found guilty, then corrective measures will be taken to properly bury RG”</p>
<p>The lawyer reminded the Zanu-PF member that “the issue of who decided his final resting place was &amp; is a preserve for his wife &amp; children alone. Chief Zvimba must exercise extra caution on this matter, if he failed to claim his rights b4 burial how can they recognised only now?”</p>
<p>The lawyer argues that “Because the issues of burial yava Mugabe was debated &amp; covered in newspapers until it was finally said he was going to be buried in Kutama, the Judges will say why didn’t you apply for an injunction without delay.”</p>
<p>The lawyer further observes that ” The world may want to see justice applied to enable permanent protection of his (RGM) legacy” &amp; warns that “the above questions will definitely arise because the late R.G.Mugabe was an international star.”</p>
<p>It’s interesting that at a time the world is grappling with a devastating Covid-19 pandemic, Idhii’s coup govt prioritises exhuming Mugabe’s remains for occultic reasons. What has happened to Vision 2030? Is exhuming RGM’s remains a prerequisite for the success of vision 2030?</p></blockquote>

<p class="js-tweet-text tweet-text with-linebreaks" lang="en">He was speaking after some had suggested that Mohadi was abusing his power and office to sleep with his married aides. Mangwana said:</p>

<p lang="en">Indeed. That applies to me too as a man who has been married for a good 28 years. With so many married years under the belt, I surely know what I am talking about. If my missus was to cheat on me, that’s between me and her. Not the third party unless he raped her.</p>
<p lang="en">Choice is at the heart of progressive feminism. A woman should be able make an informed choice and give an informed consent, just the same way as a man.</p>
<p lang="en">Yes. When one breaks a marriage vow, you break it between yourself and the one you married. Not with everyone else out there. Eveyone else should stay in their lane and allow families to deal with their challenges.</p>

Responding to Mangwana’s post, Mawatire said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p lang="en">I don’t think you deny the likelihood that if Morehard wasn’t VP, the CIO guy, whose wife he is bonking, could have given him a thorough hiding. Morehardy didn’t just abuse his power on the female subordinate, he also used his power to take a junior’s wife, it’s unacceptable.</p>

VP Kembo Mohadi Affairs: Mawarire, Masarira Clash

<p>National Patriotic Front (NPF) spokesperson Jealousy Mawarire says the removal of targetted sanctions on Zimbabwe’s ruling elite without the restoration of the rule of law and respect of human and property rights will be of no benefit to Zimbabweans.</p>
<p>The outspoken opposition official argued that Zimbabwe’s problems are not related to the sanctions imposed on a few political elites but on the government’s reluctance to respect the rule of law and the unbridled corruption and thuggery by those holding political office. Mawarire posted on Twitter:</p>
<blockquote><p>I have seen a lot of messages from junta apologists in Zimbabwe calling for the removal of sanctions. The most interesting thing is the insinuation that if these targeted sanctions are removed off the necks of officials running the military regime here, immediately, Zimbabwe will be a paradise.</p>
<p>Folks, do you think if those sanctions are removed, Zimbabweans will be free to demonstrate without [President Emmerson Mnangagwa] &amp; Gen Racto sending soldiers to murder them with AK47s? Do we believe if sanctions are removed, the looting of our diamonds, gold, platinum, chrome by [Mnangagwa] &amp; his cabal will stop?</p>
<p>Are we foolishly optimistic that the moment sanctions are removed, electoral theft will stop? Do Zimbabweans believe after removal of sanctions, ZBC will become a truly public broadcaster &amp; afford every Zimbabwean a voice?</p>
<p>Are we so gullible to believe that the day sanctions are removed, no one will ever be arrested for “undermining the authority of the president?” Do we believe, on the day sanctions are removed, if you get arrested, &amp; you are an opposition politician, you won’t be denied bail for 40 days until some High Court judge releases you and chides the magistrate for not applying themselves on the law?</p>
<p>Are we sure on the day sanctions are removed, all abductions, even of university students, will cease? Tell me fellow Zimbabweans, do you believe once sanctions are removed, looting of Covid-19 funds will stop?</p>
<p>I would love to know, [Nick M<span class="link-complex-target">angwana]</span> if the day sanctions are removed Zimbabweans will be allowed to vote for MPs &amp; councillors of their choice without some dubious court ruling donating those seats to a politician they didn’t vote for?</p>
<p>Will the removal of sanctions end the violation of property rights by Zanu-PF land barons? Will the removal of sanctions stop non-government officials, who are married to those in Government, from using dubious ambassadorial designations to steal from Natpharm?</p>
<p>I would love to know if the removal of sanctions will end monopolies in the fuel industry? Tell me, folks, will the removal of sanctions make the President realise that it’s corrupt for him &amp; his children to import buses, at a premium, for a State-Owned Enterprise like Zupco?</p>
<p>I might be naive, but help me Zimbabweans, would the removal of sanctions put a stop to government expenditure on useless things like a statue of a dead spirit medium when our hospitals are underfunded?</p>
<p>Will the removal of sanctions make sure provinces like Mash West, Mash Central, Mash East have even one resident gynaecologist instead of having more than 85 in Harare alone?</p>
<p>Will the removal of sanctions stop thieving enterprises like Command Agriculture where more than US$7bn has been looted by Idhii &amp; his cronies?</p>
<p>Tell me Zimbabweans, will the removal of sanctions stop the deliberate ploy to kill Econet &amp; it’s Ecocash money payment system in order to create space for Idhii &amp; his Peter’s take over of Netone Data platform &amp; mobile money platform through CBZ? I want to know, fellow Zimbabweans if the removal of sanctions will give us a pro-people leadership.</p>
<p>If you can demonstrate to me, that all the ills I have listed above, and many more that others are raising, will automatically go away after sanctions are lifted, then &amp; ONLY then, will you have my voice on the issue of sanctions removal.</p></blockquote>

Removal Of Sanctions Won't Make Zimbabwe A Paradise - Mawarire {Full Thread}

<p>National Patriotic Front (NPF) spokesperson, Jealousy Mawarire, said he regretted his 2013 court application, demanding that then president, the late Robert Mugabe set an election date before the end of July of that year, arguing the executive risked violating the constitution.</p>
<p>Posting on Twitter on Friday, Mawarire said he “naively thought [he] could advance a constitutional cause without” belonging to a political party as this allowed political hawks to hijack the initiative for their nefarious ends. Below is Mawarire’s full Twitter thread:</p>
<blockquote><p>On Saturday, July 30, 2016, the <em>NewsdayWeekender</em>, published an interview I had with the paper wherein I told the paper that, “My political perception made me aware that if u try to influence events outside a political organisation, political hawks can capitalise on an otherwise genuine and constitutional concern for their selfish political expediency.”</p>
<p>This was some information I wanted to give to my brother <span class="link-complex-target">Pastor Evan Mawarire</span> who had started his <span class="hash">#</span><span class="link-complex-target">ThisFlag</span> movement.</p>
<p>My argument, which was influenced by my 2013 experience, was that any good movement, done outside a solid political formation, could be capitalised on by “political hawks” for “selfish political expediency”.</p>
<p>My fear then, which I knew had no takers at the time, was that “some elements within the SECURITY sector are fomenting chaos, beating up peaceful demonstrators in order to turn the demonstrations violent to justify the declaration of a state of emergency and eventual POWER TAKEOVER through UNCONSTITUTIONAL MEANS.” I said then that it was “a possibility which is not far-fetched.” In just over a year, we had a COUP.</p>
<p>My advice to <span class="link-complex-target">Pastor Mawarire</span> then was to prepare himself to take over power, himself, given the traction <span class="hash">#</span><span class="link-complex-target">ThisFlag</span> had made because if he didn’t, “any RASCAL can provide that political leadership and that can result in any BROTHERHOOD taking the reins of power like in Egypt”.</p>
<p>Today, I still believe the <span class="hash">#</span><span class="link-complex-target">ThisFlag</span> movement had the right momentum for political change BUT since its leaders didn’t consider themselves POLITICIANS, “political hawks” rode on its dividends to justify the November 2017 coup and some RASCAL is in power now.</p>
<p>In 2013, through my application initiative, I naively thought I could advance a constitutional cause without the necessary and requisite political parentage to protect the initiative.</p>
<p>The result was “political hawks” capitalising on it for totally different motives from mine. Some of us have now picked up the pieces and have learnt that we need to be in politics, unashamedly, to safeguard any initiative that we will embark on in the future.</p>
<p>Those telling others to stay away from politics, like they are doing Catholic Bishops, are the epitome of our problem today.</p>
<p>Citizens, outside the security services and civil service, I believe the Bishops don’t belong to those groups, should be free to participate in politics. Good Friday Zimbabweans!</p></blockquote>

Mawarire Regrets 'Naive' 2013 Court Application

<p>The family of people who died in a road accident involving Harare preacher, Apostle Talent Chiwenga has said accusing the deceased of planning to kill the outspoken man of the cloth.</p>
<p>In a statement, Jealousy Mawarire, the speaker of opposition National People’s Party, whose brother and sister-in-law perished in the accident released a <a href="https://twitter.com/mawarirej/status/1284013824815894528" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">statement</a> for the family saying accusations by Chiwenga’s church were outrageous.</p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/mawarirej/status/1284013850237587457" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mawarire said:</a></p>
<blockquote><p>We note, with concern, the attempt, by Talent Chiwenga’s church, to assume the duty of the police, VID &amp; even the courts, to preside over a matter, that surely shld be b4 the courts since the accident claimed 3 lives.</p>
<p>While we are not experts in analysing accidents, we note, in the church statement, a deliberate omission of a huge contribution to that head-on collision, which is the absence of clear markings at the Norton tollgate of the transitioning from a single carriage into a dual carriage</p>
<p>No attempt was made, in the interest of fairness &amp; safety of other road users today, to explain that while the Byo-Hre road dualisation is starting at the Norton tollgate, the tollgate covers only the old section, hence when travelling from Byo, the rd is a single carriage meaning when one is driving from Byo u get into the tollgate on a single carriage but exit the tollgate already in a dual carriage meaning automatically the lane u were using from Byo becomes a wrong lane just at the tollgate exit. There are no carriage marks to indicate this transition</p>
<p>There are no barricades to avoid traffic from Bulawayo proceeding through a wrong lane. This is information the Norton traffic police gave to family members of those who were involved in the accident &amp; am sure the church got that info as well.</p>
<p>This info wasn’t given, just to explain how the accident happened, but also to warn us when travelling to the scene to avoid a similar collision. When we went to the scene around 10 pm, the police insisted we drove to the extreme left to avoid the fate that befell our relatives</p>
<p>As a family, thru a relative in the parliamentary portfolio committee on transport, we raised a complaint to the Min of Transport on the lack of clear transitioning markings at the tollgate. While this wld not help our already deceased relatives, it will help the motoring public</p>
<p>In the presence of such information, we wonder why the church, a supposedly religious &amp; charitable organisation, deliberately, or otherwise, doesn’t inform the public of that info which even the Norton traffic police is complaining about. As a family, we also believe the church shld have contacted us as a bereaved family, if not to convey their condolences, but to inform us of allegations they’re now laying against our deceased relatives. My bro who was driving the white car had his drivers licence on him &amp; a phone police used to contact us.</p>
<p>I also posted here that the person involved in the accident was my brother &amp; if the church is making allegations against him, it is really fair that they contact us since he is no longer alive to answer to their allegations.</p>
<p>It is quite unfair to suggest that an educationist, owner of Prestige Secondary &amp; Primary schools in Bulawayo, his wife &amp; a Harare lawyer, Mr Makopa, who also perished in the accident, were on a suicidal mission to harm Chiwenga &amp; kill themselves in the process.</p>
<p>Such allegations r not only callous but do not even rise to the level of nonsense. As a family, we have also registered disquiet, as to why a driver involved in a fatal accident was immediately extracted from the accident scene by non-medical staff b4 police attended the scene.</p>
<p>My brother, his wife &amp; Mr Makopa were taken alive to Norton Hospital &amp; Mr Makopa was then transferred to Harare where he, unfortunately, passed on early Tues while my brother &amp; his wife, unfortunately, succumbed to injuries while being attended to at Norton hospital.</p>
<p>While we r not legal experts, we’re just surprised why the driver of the other car was whisked away from the accident scene “by a well-wisher” &amp; also question the legality of such an act. Ordinarily, that wouldn’t have concerned us but it matters when same driver, on the night of the accident, was in a state of mind to begin circulating infor alleging our relatives, who passed on in the accident involving the car he was driving, were state security agents after his life.We r also interested, as he is, to know the identity of the car &amp; driver he alleges was chasing him from Kuwadzana roundabout, caz that detail has effect on the way he was driving &amp; consequently the head-on collision &amp; the failure, by the 2 drivers, to avoid an imminent collision. We are also interested to know why he didn’t drive into either <span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Kuwadzana or Norton police stations to alert </span>that he was being trailed? We are of the opinion such a measure would have helped him avoid collision with our relative &amp; maybe our relative cld have met other responsible drivers to alert him he was on the wrong lane.</p>
<p>While it wouldn’t have helped us or our deceased relatives we also believe, as part of ubuntu, the driver of the car involved in the accident with our deceased relatives, shld have contacted us since we understand he is alive. We had to know who he was thru his social media rants and a piece of paper we found around the wreckages which I attach here.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter wp-image-12091 size-full b-loaded" decoding="async" height="383" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" src="https://2ma4cz.c2.acecdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Chiwenga-Visa-Application.jpg" srcset="https://2ma4cz.c2.acecdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Chiwenga-Visa-Application.jpg 680w, https://2ma4cz.c2.acecdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Chiwenga-Visa-Application-300x169.jpg 300w" width="680"/></p>
<p>We thought it was in his interest, as is ours, to know the parties involved in the accident b4 his rantings on social media. A young lawyer’s life was lost in the accident, Prestige group of schools lost two directors in the accident &amp; families lost breadwinners, relatives &amp; friends in that unfortunate accident &amp; were expected responsible citizens, let alone supposed church people, guided by the Spirit of Truth, to act responsibly &amp; not use the demise of our relatives to feed into their paranoia &amp; conspiracy theories. My brother &amp; his wife were travelling for the burial of our sister on Tuesday morning when they met their deaths Monday evening &amp; as a family, we ended up with 3 bodies to bury. That alone took a huge toll on us emotionally</p>
<p><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">The least we expected from a party to the </span>was to act responsibly after contacting our family. But since we’re different beings with different aspects, temperaments, psychological &amp; mental states, we have no choice but to live with extremities &amp; absurdities life threw on us.</p>
<p>While we don’t want to be conspiracy theorists like Chiwenga &amp; his church, we are naturally bound to ask why Talent Chiwenga is always involved in fatal road traffic accidents where 3 people die. Last year it was his wife, Mai Vhurumuku &amp; a church member, this year it’s my brother, his wife &amp; a Harare lawyer. In normal jurisdictions, the mental state, driving competency &amp; psychological disposition of a common denominator in such fatal accidents is investigated, we can’t have a single being competing with Covid-19 in killing people thru road traffic accidents</p></blockquote>

"This War The Regime Started Will Not End Well," - NPF Spokesperson As Members Are Arrested

<p><a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Jealousy_Mawarire">Jealousy Mawarire,</a> a former spokesperson for <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/National_People%27s_Party" title="National People's Party">National People’s Party</a> political party, has claimed that the country is facing a serious fuel shortage crisis even during the lockdown when activities demanding fuel are less because the fuel cartel in the country popularly known as Queen Bee is currently focusing on making money in the health sector.</p>
<p>Posting on Twitter this Monday, Mawarire said:</p>
<blockquote><p>Despite the partial lockdown, restricted movt &amp; depressed prices of fuel on the international market, Zim is facing acute shortage of fuel. It’s because Queen Bee, the one with fuel supply monopoly, found a more lucrative monopoly–supply of ethanol 4 manufacture of hand sanitisers.</p>
<p>Queen Bee now has monopoly for supplying all the Ethanol in the country, an important source of alcohol needed for the manufacture of hand sanitisers. He has an arrangement with Green Fuels &amp; Tongaat Hulett to purchase all the ethanol they are producing creating a monopoly.</p>
<p>Rather than use the Ethanol for blending with petrol which is mandatory before any gas station sells motor vehicle fuel to motorists in the country, Queen Bee is now concentrating on the more lucrative hand sanitisers business because of Covid-19.</p>
<p>Queen Bee is now exporting most of the Ethanol to Zambia, Malawi &amp; DRC. After sealing the ethanol monopoly with Tongaat Hullet &amp; Green Fuels, Queen Bee increased the price of ethanol from Z$28/l to Z$74/l, making local price of hand sanitisers more expensive.</p>
<p>Companies making sanitisers have no choice but to buy his overpriced Ethanol because of the monopoly. The high demand 4 alcohol 4 the manufacture of hand sanitizers means high prices 4 ethanol hence no ethanol is being supplied for blending because of fixed fuel prices hence fuel queues</p>
<p>The result is now serious shortage of petrol in the market despite low prices on the international market. It is time Zimbabweans demand the liberalisation of the fuel sector, do away with the Queen Bee monopoly &amp; also abolish mandatory blending.</p>
<p>Right now LP gas is abundant on the market because the market is liberalised &amp; because of low demand of the LP gas, especially in SA where most suppliers import from, because of closure of restaurants because of Covid-19, LP gas prices have gone down to even $0.50c per KG from around $1.45/KG.</p>
<p>The same should be done with fuel. The sector should be liberalised, mandatory blending abolished &amp; players in the industry should sell their product in currency of choice. With fuel prices depressed like now &amp; with competition, motorists should buy a litre of petrol for $0.50c or less.</p>
<p>But the problem with the Junta govt is that it is pro-cartels, NEVER pro-people. The suffering of our people is inconsequential to ED &amp; his cartels as long as they are making money. Now they are making money through Covid-19 &amp; everyone else can go to hell.</p>
<p>@edmnangagwa &amp; Queen Bee don’t care about supplying fuel to the market now because they are making more money through Ethanol monopoly. However, they don’t want to let go of their monopoly on the fuel sector, because post-COVID-19, they still want to be the only players in the sector.</p>
<p>Surely, with the high demand for ethanol due to Covid-19 induced demand for hand sanitisers, why do we still have mandatory blending of fuel? Why isn’t the fuel sector liberalised since ED’s Junta &amp; it’s monopoly has failed to supply adequate fuel since the Nov 2017 coup?</p>
<p>Zimbabweans should rise, say no to fuel cartels, say no to Ethanol cartels, say no to @edmnangagwa &amp; his military junta. It is time we refuse policies that don’t work for the general citizenry but serve interests of greedy juntaprenuers.</p></blockquote>

FULL THREAD: Mawarire Discusses Why Zimbabwe Has A Fuel Crisis Even During Lockdown

<p>An opposition party has castigated President Emmerson Mnangagwa for what it considers his penchant for advancing “Karanga hegemony” the domination of political space by people of Karanga origin.</p>
<p>Spokesperson of the National Patriotic Front, Jealousy Mawarire claims that a significant number of top government officials appointed by President Emmerson Mnangagwa are from his Karanga tribe. <a href="https://twitter.com/mawarirej/status/1260281680272777222" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">He said</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>It’s actually pathetic that key positions like Minister of Defence Oppah Muchinguri (Zimuto Masvingo), State Security (Mudha) Chief Secretary to the cabinet (Misheck Sibanda), Commander Defence Forces (Valerio Sibanda) Director-General CIO (Isaac Moyo) are all for Karangas.</p>

<p>Commenting on Mawarire’s tweet, prominent journalist Hopewell Chin’ono said the development is “pathetic”. <a href="https://twitter.com/daddyhope/status/1260432378322915330" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Said Chin’ono:</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Mnangagwa is something else. How does a President sink so low where he villagizes a whole country?</p>
<p>This is PATHETIC and must be condemned! Zimbabweans should talk about it and put an end to it! We can’t have such a man being a President!</p>
<p>This country belongs to all Zimbabweans.</p></blockquote>

NPF Official Says Mnangagwa Is Deliberately Advancing 'Karanga Hegemony'

<p><a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/National_Patriotic_Front_(NPF)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">National Patriotic Front (NPF)</a> spokesperson <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Jealousy_Mawarire" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jealousy Mawarire</a> says one of the reasons why MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa got more votes in the 2018 presidential election that Morgan Tsvangirai attained in any presidential election he participated is that the former received votes from the late former President Robert Mugabe’s supporters.</p>
<p>Mawarire was speaking in response to former MDC-T spokesperson Obert Gutu’s claim that Chamisa performed well in the election because he was riding on the Tsvangirai brand.</p>
<p>For Mawarire, such reasoning is a preserve of “dunderheads” because Chamisa won one million more votes than Tsvangirai ever managed.</p>
<p>We present Mawarire’s <a href="https://twitter.com/mawarirej/status/1247429111636725760" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">full Twitter thread</a> below:</p>
<blockquote><p>Ask Obert Gutu the highest number of votes Tsvangirai got in any of the three presidential elections he participated in.</p>
<p>Why is it that he NEVER hit the 2 million mark that Nelson Chamisa got? So the brand got lesser votes than the one benefitting from it? Mamwe malawyer so!</p>
<p>Granted, Tsvangirai founded MDC but his highest number of votes in any presidential election he participated in is 1.2 million in 2002, almost 1 million fewer votes than the 2.1 million that ZEC gave Nelson Chamisa after the 2018 electoral fraud.</p>
<p>I hold no brief for any of the feuding parties in the Junta-PF-MDC drama but as a student of Zim electoral politics, I believe there is ANOTHER factor which made Nelson Chamisa get 1 million more votes than Tsvangirai at his best and that factor is the MUGABE supporters.</p>
<p>It is a FACT that the late President Mugabe gave Nelson Chamisa his endorsement and many so-called G40s heeded and voted for the young man, that’s why he got more votes than MDC the party, or the Tsvangirai brand if u like to call it.</p>
<p>You have to be an incorrigible dunderhead not to see that plain FACT. The Junta-PF knows it, that’s why they have been planting confusionists to scuttle any efforts Nelson Chamisa is making to form a broader alliance with former G40 members.</p>
<p>The Junta might use dunderhead 3rd class lawyers to dismiss the role played by former Zanu-PF members in making Nelson Chamisa get 1m more votes than MT in any of the 3 elections he participated in because of fear of a repeat in 2023 but that can never obliterate the RGM factor.</p>
<p>What Junta-PF isn’t aware of is that they will NEVER get the Mugabe vote, a time shall come, and it has come,that RGM supporters will regroup,it doesn’t necessarily have to be around Chamisa,but surely a true,united and democratic alliance is in the horizon and Junta-PF days are numbered</p></blockquote>


Mawarire Explains Why Chamisa Got 1 Million More Votes Than Tsvangirai Ever Did

<p><a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/National_Patriotic_Front_(NPF)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">National Patriotic Front (NPF)</a> spokesperson <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Jealousy_Mawarire" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jealousy Mawarire</a> believes President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s fear that his deputy, Vice President Constantino is angling for his job has pushed him to have the ‘Running Mate’ clause scrapped from the Constitution.</p>
<p>Mawarire made the comments during a Thursday public discussion on Constitutional Amendment Number 2 Bill. He said:</p>
<blockquote><p>We don’t want a situation where if someone is afraid of Chiwenga, says ‘no, I don’t want the running mate clause, because Chiwenga will kill me and take over after me.</p>
<p>So, ‘in order for me to circumvent that, let me change the constitution so that I will appoint a subservient deputy’.</p>
<p>No. That’s not a principle that I think we should entertain as citizens of Zimbabwe.</p></blockquote>
<p>The Running Mate clause compels future presidential candidates to appoint running mates ahead of elections who will take over the presidency if the incumbent fails to finish his or her term.</p>
<p>The clause was inserted in the 2013 Constitution which ushered in the Second Republic but was never made operational.</p>

Businessman Collapses & Dies At Munhumutapa Building After Meeting Govt Officials

<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Former President Robert Mugabe has died. The 95-year-old was at a hospital in Singapore where he had been ill for an extended period of time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">He died in the early hours of Friday morning.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Meanwhile, a close ally of President Mugabe, Professor Jonathan Moyo posted a cryptic message on his Twitter handle. He said:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><em><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">A dark cloud has enveloped Zimbabwe. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord!</span></em></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">President Mugabe’s relatives reportedly left the country yesterday for Singapore where he is said to have been on life support for some time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Another Mugabe close ally, National Patriotic Front (NPF) spokesperson, Jealousy Mawarire tweeted:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><em><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">A dark day!!! Aaaah, my God!</span></em></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">An obituary by <em>BBC World Service</em> traces Mugabe’s political career from his nonage to his death as a nonagenarian. It ends with these lines:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><em><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">With speculation that his wife, Grace, was poised to take control in the event of his death in office, Mugabe announced in 2015 that he fully intended to fight the 2018 elections, by which time he would be 94.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">And, to allay any doubt remaining among possible successors, he announced in February 2016 that he would remain in power “until God says ‘co</span><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">me'”.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">In the event, it wasn’t God but units of the Zimbabwe National Army which came for Robert Mugabe. On 15 November 2017, he was placed under house arrest and, four days later, replaced as the leader of Zanu-PF by his former vice-president, Emmerson Mnangagwa.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Defiant to the end Mugabe refused to resign, But, on 21 November, as a motion to impeach him was being debated in the Zimbabwean parliament, the speaker of the House of Assembly announced that Robert Mugabe had finally resigned.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Mugabe negotiated a deal which protected him and his family from the risk of future prosecution and enabled him to retain his various business interests. He was also granted a house, servants, vehicles and full diplomatic status.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Ascetic in manner, Robert Mugabe dressed conservatively and drank no alcohol. He viewed both friend and foe with a scepticism verging on the paranoid.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">The man who had been hailed as the hero of Africa’s struggle to throw off colonialism had turned into a dictator, trampling over human rights and turning a once prosperous country into an economic basket case.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">His legacy is likely to haunt Zimbabwe for years.</span></em></p>

BREAKING: Former President Robert Mugabe Dies

<p>Spokesperson of the National Patriotic Front (NPF), Jealousy Mawarire said that the events to do with the MDC demonstrations show that the army is the real power behind President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s throne.</p>
<p>He added that Mnangagwa is a mere puppet at real power resides at KGV1, now the Josiah Magama Tongogara Barracks, where the military is headquartered.</p>
<p>Yesterday, the permanent secretary in the Ministry of Information, Ndavaningi Nick Mangwana<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/08/15/mnangagwa-permits-mdcs-planned-demonstrations-report/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong> was quoted as saying that the government had given the MDC the green light to proceed with the march</strong></a> only for the police to announce a ban of the same in the evening.</p>
<p>Mawarire has been consistent in asserting that the army is the elephant in the room in Zimbabwe’s politics and any dialogue that excludes the army is bound to fail. <a href="https://twitter.com/mawarirej/status/1162301940757409792" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">He said</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Let’s have the real power behind the throne on the negotiating table. Didn’t I say the army is the one in power? Wasn’t ED quoted yesterday saying the demonstration should go ahead?</p>
<p>Now it’s clear KGVI didn’t want any of it. If Nero thinks dialogue with ED, a puppet, will yield results, let him try.</p></blockquote>


Chamisa Advised To Talk To Army Rather Than "Puppet" Mnangagwa

<p>A call has been made to involve Zimbabwe’s military top brass in national dialogue processes.</p>
<p>Speaking during a dialogue meeting organised by the Zimbabwe Council of Churches in Harare earlier this week, National Patriotic Front spokesperson, Jealousy Mawarire claimed that it was a mistake to exclude the military bosses in the 2008 national dialogue. He said:</p>
<blockquote><p>We made a mistake in 2008 that we allowed political parties to dialogue on their own. We even left out the army.</p>
<p>I believe that what we need now is an inclusive dialogue process that includes the citizenry, that includes civil society and that includes the army because the problem in this country is the army.</p>
<p>The army is the one that moved in and took over Zanu PF…the so-called ‘command element’ of the army moved in and have signed minutes that ‘we are moving in because we have realised that Zanu PF is going to lose the elections. So we are going to take over Zanu PF from Mugabe and those that support him’.</p></blockquote>
<p>Mawarire said that President Emmerson Mnangagwa was imposed on the ruling party by the military after he had fled into exile following his sacking from the government by Mugabe. He added:</p>
<blockquote><p>So the army imposed someone (President Emmerson Mnangagwa) who had been chased away from Zanu PF, imposed him as the president and that person then called for an illegitimate election.</p>
<p>I expect (Army Commander) General Valerio Sibanda to be among us here. I expect General Chiwenga in his full military gear, do not be fooled by hearing that he is the VP.</p>
<p>No, he is a soldier, we expect (Foreign Affairs Minister) Sibusiso Moyo to be here in his full military gear and we begin to actually hear their concerns, why they moved to take over Zanu PF, why they moved to take over the government.</p></blockquote>
<p>The army is alleged to have run the second round of the 2008 elections in which a wave of violence engulfed the entire country.</p>
<p>The MDC leader at the time, Morgan Tsvangirai, eventually pulled out of the race even though he had won the first round.</p>

Mawarire Calls For The Military's Inclusion In Political Dialogue

<p>Spokesperson of the National Patriotic Front (NPF), Jealousy Mawarire opines that dialogue between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and MDC leader Nelson Chamisa without military involvement is a waste of time as the former is a mere puppet of the “junta”.</p>
<p>Below is Mawarire’s opinion:</p>
<blockquote><p>I believe what is happening in Sudan should be the kind of dialogue we need in Zim, not POLAD. We need an inclusive dialogue forum where the military is also represented. The major problem we have in Zim is military involvement in politics. The army took over Zanu-PF, government and state.</p>
<p>Under a military junta, it doesn’t help to have Chamisa meeting the military puppet Mnangagwa under a false pretext that what we have is an electoral dispute. We had coups in 2008 and Nov 2017. We are under a military regime so we have to negotiate with the army.</p>
<p>A broad-based alliance of democratic forces which includes progressive political parties, civil society including labour, youth organisations, church and women’s groups should negotiate with the army and its Zanu-PF political wing to move us out of the mess we are in.</p>
<p>Anyone who believes the crisis in our country is a bilateral issue between Chamisa and Mnangagwa is operating under a wrong diagnosis. We need to rescue our politics from military capture. Zanu-PF is captured by the army, the state is also captured, so is govt. That’s the crisis.</p>
<p>Dialogue without the army on the table will never yield sustainable peace. We need to dialogue with the army, agree on fundamental political, electoral and security sector reforms. As long as the army has a political wing which participates in elections as Zanu-PF, we are doomed.</p>
<p>Nelson Chamisa meeting Mnangagwa in bilateral talks is a waste of time. The problem is bigger than the two. It’s a national crisis, not a bilateral issue. The problem is the military factor in our electoral politics resulting in the capture of political parties, state, and govt by the army.</p>
<p>We, therefore, need a multi-stakeholder dialogue to deal with the elephant in the room (military involvement in politics). We need SADC and AU to convene and facilitate that dialogue and guarantee the outcome. Assuming that our problem is an electoral dispute between Nelson Chamisa and ED is fatal.</p></blockquote>


FULL THREAD: Dialogue Should Involve The Army Since It Took Over Govt & ZANU PF - Mawarire

<p>Spokesperson of the National Patriotic Front (NPF), Jealousy Mawarire said that it will be counterrevolutionary to give back land to former commercial white farmers.</p>
<p>NPF is an opposition political party alleged to have close links to former president Robert Mugabe who was ousted by a military coup in November 2017.</p>
<p>Mawarire called on all Zimbabweans to unite against the move, which he claims is meant to please Western countries. He said:</p>
<blockquote><p>The counterrevolutionary @edmnangagwa is now handing back land to our erstwhile colonizers. So why did more than 50 000 Zimbabweans die if the land they were fighting for is now being handed back to those who colonized us in the first place? ED administration is cancer we should be worried about.</p>
<p>As the NPF, we say no to sellouts, counterrevolutionaries and Western puppets who seek to use OUR LAND to buy phyrric legitimacy. Our youths, most Zimbabweans and our women, did not benefit from fast-track land redistribution. What the hell is ED trying to do now?</p>
<p>We will FIGHT for our land. We will resist efforts to appease the west by the coup president. The land is ours, blood was shed for that land. We have watched ED giving away our minerals, now he is reversing the gains we made since independence. This is unacceptable.</p>
<p>The Junta PF can steal elections but Zimbabweans won’t allow them to hand our land back to our former colonizers. Zimbabweans should unite to resist such counterrevolutionary moves by ED’s illegitimate regime.</p>
<p>Anyone who intends to dispossess our people of THEIR LAND won’t just instigate a political, social or economic crisis but a spiritual crisis as well.</p></blockquote>


NPF Opposed To Giving Land Back To White Farmers

<p>Spokesperson of the National Patriotic Front, Jealousy Mawarire, says that billionaire and philanthropist, Econet founder, Strive Masiyiwa is a beneficiary of government tenders courtesy of the late General Solomon Mujuru and his wife Joice Mujuru.</p>
<p>Mawarire said that Masiyiwa, as a Christian who intends to inspire others, should not be economical with the truth. Writing on Twitter, Mawarire said:</p>
<blockquote><p>By May 1991, Strive Masiyiwa, thru his Co, Retrofit, had already gotten a govt tender to electrify Victoria Falls Airport yet the guy, in some business mentorship forum at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, pretends his first business was Econet which he founded with only $75.</p>
<p>His business links with governments of the day and association with ZANU PF ex-military politicians is well documented. While every Zimbabwean has the right of association, it is untoward, especially for a Christian, to be economical with the truth, particularly when wants to inspire others.</p>
<p>Retrofit got tenders to electrify govt buildings which Kuchi Construction owned by Kudenga and Chidhawo built. The Econet issue affected his relationship with General Mujuru who was his business godfather and not the government of Zimbabwe.</p>
<p>It electrified most govt buildings built by KuChi construction owned by now Harare Provincial Minister Chidhawo. Retrofit first contract was a PTC tender to electrify Nembudziya Post office courtesy of Mai Mujuru. The alleged fight between the two is all created to play the victim. Vanhu vamwe.</p>
<p>There is more to the guy than what he wants people to say. There is a whole story about Mopani mine which he co-owned with General Mujuru. Someday, someone will tell the story of a PTA bank loan.</p></blockquote>

Strive Masiyiwa 'Exposed' As A Beneficiary Of Gen. Mujuru's Largesse

<p>Spokesperson of the National Patriotic Front, Jealousy Mawarire, has questioned Transport Minister Joel Biggie Matiza’s sincerity in probing corruption at the Zimbabwe National Road Administration Authority (ZINARA). Writing on microblogging site Twitter on Tuesday, Mawarire said:</p>
<blockquote><p>There is more to Minister Matiza not questioning why Zinara is not cutting Nancy Masiyiwa-Chamisa’s salary, therefore, choosing to “negotiate” with a suspended employee. The first is Masiyiwa-Chamisa is sister to the junta govt biggest benefactor, and that she is an ex-soldier.</p>
<p>Charging Masiyiwa-Chamisa with corruption has the likelihood of upsetting her brother resulting in massive repercussions 4 Junta govt and entities like Angel of Hope. Remember the brother has pumped in millions 4 Cholera fight, Cyclone Idai, Zanu-PF elections and FL ‘charity’ errands.</p>
<p>The other issue is her military background. CEOs with military backgrounds have gotten away with charges of corruption. Ex-soldiers are untouchable when it comes to fighting corruption. It has been like that with GMB, ZBC, now Zinara.</p></blockquote>

Mawarire Questions Matiza's Sincerity In Probing ZINARA Rot

<p>National Patriotic Front (NPF) spokesperson Jealousy Mawarire has said Zanu-PF got $40 million for its 2018 election campaign from an account availed by former President Robert Mugabe.</p>
<p>Mawarire said this on Twitter while commenting on an article by <strong><a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/03/05/mugabe-funding-chamisa-ahead-of-mdc-congress-report/">The Herald which alleges MDC leader Nelson Chamisa is being funded by Mugabe ahead of the opposition party’s congress in May</a></strong>. Said Mawarire:</p>
<blockquote><p>Seems when propaganda fails, the Herald resorts to EDiocy. What the Herald isn’t telling its readers is the incontrovertible fact that the former Pres is still a Zanu-PF member &amp; that Zanu-PF got $40m for it’s 2018 election campaign from an account he availed the party.</p></blockquote>

Mugabe Gave Zanu-PF $40 Million For 2018 Election Campaign

<p>Permanent secretary in the Ministry of Information, Media and Broadcasting Services, Nick Mangwana has chided national spokesperson of the National Patriotic Front (NPF) Jealousy Mawarire for putting words into former President Robert Mugabe’s mouth. <a href="https://twitter.com/nickmangwana/status/1099560127231918080" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Said Mangwana:</a></p>
<blockquote><p>There are different ways of exploiting the elderly when they lose connection with their surroundings. Some are financial but in politics, the most callous way is putting your words in their mouths to give those words some gravitas. It’s primitive to exploit senior moments.</p></blockquote>
<p>Mangwana’s remarks follow Mawarire’s claim that Mugabe lambasted President Emmerson Mnangagwa for deploying soldiers to kill civilians, as a mark of bad leadership.</p>

Mangwana Rebukes Mawarire For 'Putting Words Into Mugabe's Mouth'

<blockquote><p>I promised this thread thru which I share what I call “coup minutes” which give us an idea why the army took over power in Zimbabwe in Nov 2017 &amp; continue in control up to today.</p>
<p>Before sharing coup minutes, I want to draw attention to a recent article by George Charamba in the Herald of 06 February 2019. Charamba was secretary to the soldiers who staged the coup and his signature is appended to the “coup minutes”.</p>
<p>In the Herald article, Charamba claims “carriers of Operation Restore Legacy (coup) are all Zanu-PF cadres to the bone” &amp; that the coup was “motivated by the need to checkmate the alien G40 in order to rescue the party (Zanu-PF) &amp; its govt”.This is consistent with coup minutes.</p>
<p>Just as Charamba declares in the Herald article of 6 Feb 2019, the soldiers who staged the coup feared takeover of Zanu-PF by G40 would impact on “electability of Zanu-PF in the 2018 elections”. Out of 15 concerns the soldiers had,13 directly had to do with Zanu-PF, the Party.</p>
<p>On this page, the soldiers clearly state that the coup “was meant to prop up the authority of the president &amp; buttress his constitutional roles in running the affairs of the Party, Zanu-PF, &amp; the nation of Zimbabwe.”</p>
<p>Page 7, like many sections of the coup minutes, contains the major reason for the coup, “threatened electability of Zanu-PF in the impending 2018 harmonised elections” which raised “the spectre of an electoral defeat” similar to 2008.</p>
<p>Page 8 tells us that the coup was also meant to enable the military to “reinstate bonafide party (Zanu-PF) processes for legitimate outcomes (at the extraordinary congress in Dec 2017). It was meant to reinstate ED who had been fired.</p>
<p>On page 9, the coupists claim their coup was meant to avert ‘a tribal war,’ “Hondo yemarudzi” which they argued, “posed a real threat to National Security &amp; overall electability of Zanu-PF “.</p>
<p>Page 10 reveals that the coup enabled the military to takeover Zanu-PF &amp; govt so the soldiers could fulfil 2013 Zanu-PF “unfulfilled” election promises because “the command element expressed fears that Zanu-PF faced another election without evidence of real economic recovery”.</p>
<p>Page 11. The coup was a result of the unhappiness the soldiers had over sidelining of war vets from both Zanu-PF &amp; govt. They were angry that “even veteran commissars seconded to the party by the military were dropped or sidelined”.</p>
<p>Page 12 Command element wasn’t happy with the way Zanu-PF National Commissar, Saviour Kasukuwere, “was executing commissariat work”. The army expressed concern over the perceived influence that @ProfJNMoyo had on the Commissar.</p>
<p>The soldiers staged the coup bcaz they were unhappy with what they called “the culture of open disrespect of seniors (@edmnangagwa) in the party” (Zanu-PF) shown at “interface rallies”.</p>
<p>Page 14 shows the soldiers carried out the coup bcaz they were not happy with the “integrity &amp; management of information &amp; decisions of the party” (Zanu-PF) which they said were being communicated through social media.</p>
<p>The command element staged the coup bcaz of “growing anxiety… arising from well-publicised threats of dismissal or arbitrary retirement”. In short, the coup was to save their jobs.</p>
<p>Page 16: The soldiers, whose terms of office had expired, argued that the 2013 constitution “gave everyone occupying such constitutionally abridged posts a new countdown date” hence couldn’t be retired.</p>
<p>Page 17: The soldiers staged the coup caz they were not happy with the collapse of the “National Joint Operation Command” (JOC), allegedly, at the instigation of G40. They blamed Chihuri &amp; Bonyongwe for its collapse.</p>
<p>Page 18 The soldiers threatened a “bloody” war if “a counter-operation led by the police” resisted their coup.</p>
<p>Page 19: The soldiers lied that they were not staging the coup to effect leadership change at the top echelons of Zanu-PF although they argued: “hard decisions… had to be made in the interest of the survival of the party.”</p>
<p>Page 20-21: The soldiers expressed anxiety over who was to succeed Pres Mugabe “should he choose to retire” &amp; claimed “hard decisions had to be made “whilst there is still time “…” for the survivability of Zanu-PF “…”into the future.”</p>
<p>Conclusion: The coup minutes correctly show that the Nov 2017 coup had nothing to do with the welfare of Zimboz but the worry the military had over a seemingly certain 2018 Zanu-PF electoral defeat. As Charamba puts it “the carriers” of Coup are “Zanu-PF cadres to the bone.”</p></blockquote>

FULL THREAD: Mugabe-linked Party Spokesperson Says 2017 Coup Had Nothing To Do With Welfare Of Zimbabweans, But To Save ZANU PF From Electoral Defeat

<p>The Robert Mugabe- affiliated Party, the National Patriotic Front (NPF) spokesperson Jealousy Mawarire says that Oppah Muchinguri sounds like a scorned woman. Muchinguri said that Mugabe and the late ZANLA Commander General Josiah Tongogara quarrelled before the late hero embarked on a journey to Mozambique where he died in a car accident.</p>
<p>Muchinguri’s revelations have been interpreted in some quarters to mean that Mugabe could have had a hand in the fatal accident. Mawarire has however lambasted Muchinguri, questioning why she would say that when Mugabe is no longer president. Said Mawarire</p>
<blockquote><p>And now that Mugabe is no longer President, what new thing has Oppah to offer? The same line that Gen Tongo died in a car accident? Oppah is a drama queen, she shld concentrate on amassing more marriage certificates, her bitterness with Mugabe smacks of a scorned woman. <a class="twitter-hashtag pretty-link js-nav" data-query-source="hashtag_click" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/IniZii?src=hash"><s>#</s><b>IniZii</b></a>!</p></blockquote>

Muchinguri Should Focus On Accumulating More Marriage Certificates - Fumes Mugabe-affiliated Party Spokesperson

<p>National Patriotic Front (NPF) spokesperson Jealousy Mawarire has denied dismissed <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2018/09/10/grace-blocked-me-when-i-spoke-against-her-wish-to-lead-npf-be-vice-president-of-opposition-coalition-jonathan-moyo/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Jonathan Moyo’s claims that former first lady Grace Mugabe wanted to lead the NPF project.</a> Mawarire who has in the past acted as former President Robert Mugabe’s liaison with media organisations said that the Mugabe’s had never wanted to be part of the NPF and instead accused Moyo of sour grapes after the Mugabe’s rebuffed his appeals for them to fund the party. Mawarire alleged that Moyo wanted to loot funds from the party instead. Said Mawarire,</p>
<blockquote><p>Moyo had an intricate team within Zimbabwe through which he was going to get the money. They (Mugabes) could see that he wanted to use them and they flatly refused to fund or be members of NPF. He (Moyo) knows pretty well that at no point did Mai Mugabe want to be president of NPF. He is angry because he could not make money using them.</p>
<p>He had this lousy idea about an online publication, a gamut of trolls controlled by his acolytes in Zimbabwe for which he was brandishing about a $1 million budget that he wanted to loot.</p>
<p>…He is busy extorting money claiming he wants to help pay Chamisa’s legal fees when we all know that the MDC Alliance has a separate campaign for this purpose and the lawyers who represented them in the ConCourt challenge were working on a pro-bono basis… now they’re shamelessly latching on to that propaganda because they know ED and the Mugabes have found each other. They’re shameless divisionists who thrive on playing one Zimbabwean against another and hope they can get money out of it.</p></blockquote>
