- “I am hiding like a rat in my own country for doing nothing more than my job,” Mduduzi Mathuthu told The Associated Press today. @Mathuthu is editor of @zimlive His crime? Exposing corruption. Journalism has been criminalised. #ZimbabweanLivesMatter nytimes.com/aponline/2020/…
- Some companies are run by morons. You pay a security guard a monthly salary of ZW$4 000 (US$40). How do u assign the guard to go & deliver US$500 000 cash? Is this some sort of social experiment? Two security guards in Gokwe have run away with US$300 000. It was bound to happen.
- Hopewell Chin'ono says his imprisonment,for more than 40 days,has armed him with information which validates his argument that public funds,meant for hospitals & prisons,are being looted. "They have removed me from Twitter,but not from Facebook.I'll continue writing on Facebook."
- On August 17,technology company @GtelZimbabwe offered to present a brand new cellphone to whoever would muster the highest number of retweets.They kept their word.I tweeted that I would give the phone to the imprisoned journalist Hopewell Chin'ono. I did so 2day. @NewsHawksLive
- Journalist Hopewell Chin'ono arrives at Harare's Rotten Row courts. Notice the leg irons. He has lost weight, but his spirits are high. He's a prisoner of conscience. Set him free. #FreeHopewell #ZimbabweanLivesMatter
- If I win this phone, I will hand it over to Hopewell Chin'ono as soon as he's granted bail, so that we support his necessary journalism.
- South African Broadcasting Corporation TV is currently showing a special on Oliver Mtukudzi. On ZTV, there's no word on Tuku.
- BREAKING NEWS INTERNATIONAL: The United States Treasury has slapped sanctions on Zimbabwean business tycoon Kudakwashe Regimond Tagwirei and his company Sakunda Holdings for actions that have "derailed economic development and harmed the Zimbabwean people through corruption".
- BREAKING: Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa blames "a divisive opposition" and Western sanctions for his government's failure to deliver an economic turnaround.
- Nurses & doctors are on strike for better pay & provision of medicines.But I can already predict: 1.Citizens will continue watching from the terraces,disinterestedly 2.The rest of civil servants won't join strike 3.Gvt will victimise strikers 4.We'll ask each other:Are we normal?
- Zimbabwe Defence Forces commander General Philip Valerio Sibanda says the corruption & greed displayed by Zimbabwean leaders are against the teachings & ethos of the liberation struggle. It's a telling remark, coming from the country's top soldier. But what will he do about it?
- Folks, as we pray for salvation today,let's remember to pray for Hopewell Chin'ono and Jacob Ngarivhume.They have committed no crime.They're prisoners of conscience.May God protect them & may He grant us the courage to build a Zimbabwe we all deserve. 🙏🇿🇼 #ZimbabweanLivesMatter
