Last night, the fire had company, it rose from your voices. It shone on faces we could not see beyond the lights, but whose love reached us on stage. We came like the parcel guy, only this delivery needed no signature. You signed for it in song. You gave the night your voices and we gave it everything we had. Now the stage is silent. Morning carried us back to our separate lives. Yet in my heart the love you showed continues. Let’s continue meeting with grateful hearts and music worthy of the time you give us. Thank you. We delivered the parcel. You gave it a home in your hearts.

In the absence of a credible democratic opposition to the status quo, the regime in Harare will continue to do as it pleases, leaving citizens trapped in limbo as history awaits to judge harshly those who became an albatross around the neck of a people yearning for freedom.

The anti-people amendments to the Constitution of Zimbabwe and the proposed anti-people amendments to the ZANU PF Constitution are designed to facilitate the rise to power of a person who could never win a popular vote (even within their own party) because their politics is based entirely upon the mass accumulation of wealth by a tiny elite and exclusion and exploitation of the poor at a scale, ferocity, and brazenness that we haven’t seen before. Don’t get me wrong. We have seen mass accumulation and exploitation before. But if we don’t stand together united against what is coming—right across the political, ethnic, racial, social, class divides—we will soon realize that we ain’t seen nothing yet.

TAGWIREI’S APPOINTMENT; MY POSITION Some people expect me to have a view on Kuda Tagwirei’s recent appointment. I do. I want to put it on record, for whatever it may be worth. Last week, Hon. Willard Madzimbamuto an opposition MP and SDA member who was unlawfully recalled through a process involving Tagwirei, and which eventually led to CA3 warned against celebrating an appointment stained by political skulduggery. Madzimbamuto sees himself as a victim of Tagwirei’s anti people and pro corruption politics. He is. What many may not know is that Hon. Mutasa, also an SDA member, is another victim of these recalls carried out at the same time and to achieve a diabolical purpose. The record is plain: in 2023, Tagwirei targeted two young opposition parliamentarians from his own church. Their removal was driven by malice, defied the expressed will of the people and served selfish interests. Yet some of the church members said nothing. We heard the silence. I agree with Madzimbamuto that Tagwirei’s appointment rests on a malevolent campaign against his own ‘brothers’, ‘brothers’ who are now supposed to applaud him for his progress. I understand their anger, and why they find it contradictory, indeed, indefensible that certain fellow believers should celebrate his call to public office founded on nothing but the violence he administered to their interests. What is worse is that this taint is barely being discussed by those people. In fact, discussing it is taboo as it shows envy. Nor are ZANU PF members themselves at ease with Tagwirei. His own Vice President did not attend his swearing in ceremony. The reasons are public. His own Vice President regards him as a political bottom feeder. I do not disagree with his Vice President but I’m not bold enough to make the point. In other words, Tagwirei’s brand of politics is rejected on both sides: by his opponents and by people within his own party. He is odious to all save those directly benefiting from his largesse. He is even odious to his church, whose hand he is trying to force in order that he may have a primary political constituency. I agree with those disturbed by Tagwireyi’s antics. I too am disturbed. For what it is worth, let me state plainly the pith of my opposition. One cannot claim the mantle of Christianity while practising politics that people across the divide find detestable and revolting. There’s, at a certain stage, a universally accepted wrong. To my mind, Tagwirei embodies that wrong. I do not stand in the middle and so do not wish to conceal what some people may view as my bias. I have taken positions on what is happening in this country, and I speak from that perspective although I do so honestly. I disapprove of Tagwirei’s appointment and, more especially, of the process that brought it about. I am not blind to the possibility that this appointment may sound a death knell to his political career. In fact, I know it will. But I will not dwell on that now. Neither will I dwell on the genius of appointing as Investments Minister someone who is on economic sanctions. In football terms, this is like picking a one legged player as your main striker I also reject the claims of religious people, including some in my own church, who treat Tagwirei’s appointment as proof of divine favour. I regard such people as scoundrels and I call them out for what they are. The body of Christ does not celebrate political debauchery.

In my professional legal opinion, these mandatory medical tests are an unconstitutional breach of the right to privacy protected by section 57 of the Constitution. The health professionals involved are also potentially committing multiple criminal offences and could be liable to imprisonment of up to a year for each crime committed. With the number of people involved, that could effectively be a life sentence. Health data may not be collected without informed consent in writing. Such consent should not be obtained under duress such as denying delegates the right to exercise their political rights in terms of section 67 unless they “consent” to the processing of their health data. (Sections 12 of the Cyber and Data Protection Act and section 35 of the Public Health Act). If the persons who are collecting this health data disclose that data to anyone without the person’s consent outside of the strict exceptions provided by law, they shall be committing a criminal offence in terms of section 39 of the Public Health Act. Many people are being roped into doing things that they know they ought not be doing, which they may regret later. Please be guided accordingly.

🔸Jonso has bangers for days. You can change your mind but ini I don’t forget. Everything is filed away neatly for use at the appropriate time.😂 We need new leaders.🇿🇼
KUDA TAGWIREI IS LIKE THE GUPTAS: Tagwirei's capture of the state & looting of public assets & resources in Zim for Mnangagwa, mirrors state capture in SA by the Guptas before they were busted. The key difference is that the opposition, civil society & media in Zim fear Tagwirei!

A hyena raids the village chicken coop and steals twenty chickens. On Sunday, the same hyena turns up at church carrying two. “Pastor, I felt led to support the Lord’s work.” The pastor smiles. The elder says, “Amen!” The treasurer issues a receipt. Someone calls the hyena a “generous community partner.” Meanwhile, somewhere in the village, a farmer is still looking for eighteen chickens. Now, to be fair, those two chickens can do some genuine good. They may feed hungry families. They may support a worthy cause. But praying over them does not change where they came from. The offering plate has been turned into a washing machine. But again the question is not whether the church can do good with the hyena’s two chickens. The question for the church is whether, after enjoying the chicken stew, can it still ask about the the farmer who lost his chickens. Because the day the hyena discovers that two donated chickens can silence questions about eighteen stolen ones, it has learned a very profitable lesson: You don’t have to stop raiding the village. You just have to share enough of the loot with those who might speak against you. So, the donation is not about what the chicken stew can do for the church. But what chickens stew can do to the church. Selah 😎 (Shared with permission) Happy Sabbath.
