Descent Deco Dube

In the end, the writing is on the wall—properly displayed in percentages. It begs the obvious question: what is it about YOU that produced this performance? Why is it that you have lost almost half of your vote share? Yes, YOU! As I have said before, go argue with the wall. As for me, I did abstain. A deliberate, conscientious abstention. The right to abstain is not limited to parliament or council sessions. It is very much constitutional, and available to all citizens—especially those who DO register to vote! That our voter registration increases by millions every time is a sign of genuine interest. When they do not show up to vote, after turning out to register, they may very well be refusing to choose between different versions of failure! Voting MUST NEVER be a conscription; it is a right that comes with responsibility—one that can’t be deployed without conscience. Above all, NO ONE is entitled to people's votes. VOTES are earned, just like respect. To say otherwise is the gospel according to dictators. How else can we explain that Mandela campaigned in 1994 and lost both KZN and Western Cape, yet Mbeki won both 10 years later? They earned the votes through results on the ground by improving the living standards of our people. They were NOT ENTITLED to them! Those who protest by deliberately not voting or deliberately spoiling their vote are exercising as sacred a right as the right to vote! A true revolutionary should know that, and would listen to them, for they too have registered a view! It is in line with this spirit—the letter of which is in the Constitution, that 'every citizen is free to make political choices'—that Ronnie Kasrils, alongside Barney Pityana and others, in 2014 called on people to protest by spoiling their vote. I’m sure you’ll agree, these are stalwarts of the anti-apartheid movement. They understood that no one—NOT even their own comrades—is ENTITLED to votes. But first, go to the wall, brother. There, the measure of your weight is fully determined."

• Painful 💔😭 and so sad, Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 needs a reset. • We don’t have leaders in government right now, we have looters, thugs and criminals who are simply exploiting our resources.

Demolitions - The directive to cease demolitions , was too little too late , a halt to this madness does not suffice , what is required is a National Taskforce to Investigate very URGENTLY with no allowances and unnecessary bureaucratic tape , recommend and restitute , prosecute culprits ; families are stranded and the psychological trauma on children has no remedy from merely saying STOP when the Operation has wrought so much destruction and havoc . Rains will be on us soon.

How is his party doing ?

Veteran broadcaster Ezra Tshisa Sibanda speaks to Martin Sibindi, a Kenyan of Zimbabwean descent, born and bred in Nairobi. Sibindi, whose father migrated to Kenya as part of a 1960s religious pilgrimage that included Shonas and Ndebeles, has never been to Zimbabwe before, but has relatives. He is a Kenyan of Zimbabwean origins. Sibindi is a typical Zimbabwean Ndebele surname, historically of South African origins. The surname Sibindi is deeply rooted in the history of South African Ndebele people of the Manala clan, descendants of King Musi, found in KwaMhlanga and other surrounding areas of the Pretoria/Mpumalanga region. King Musi is the foundational ancestor of the South African Ndebeles and their last undivided leader. Sibindi, a Nguni surname, shares common roots and origins with Ndebeles of the Manala, Mabhena, Sikhosana, Mthombeni, Kekana, Mhlanga and Nzuza clans, among others. These clans were raided and assimilated into Zimbabwean founding Ndebele King Mzilikazi's migration party in the 1820s from present-day KwaZulu-Natal to Matabeleland. Mzilikazi defeated and executed Chief Magodonga Mahlangu — a leader of local Ndebele/Nzunza groups in the Transvaal region. A descendant of the Khumalo clan, Mzilikazi lived in Pretoria and surrounding areas, among other places in the Transvaal, for more than a decade during his historically famous breakaway and march from fierce Zulu King Shaka's rule to Zimbabwe; from 1822 arriving in 1840, at the height of Mfecane. Kenya recently officially granted citizenship and national identity cards to about 1 650 to 1 700 members of the ethnic Shona and Ndebele communities, ending over five decades of statelessness. The Shona and Ndebele families originally migrated to Kenya from Zimbabwe and some parts of Zambia in the late 1950s and 1960s as Christian missionaries. There are Zimbabweans living in Zambia for decades. When Kenya became independent in 1963, they missed a narrow registration window, and over the decades, they lost legal ties and documentation to their ancestral countries, leaving multiple generations stateless. On December 12, 2020 during Kenya's Independence Day/Jamhuri Day celebrations, then-president Uhuru Kenyatta directed the recognition and registration of the Shona and Ndebele communities, alongside stateless persons of Rwandan descent.

Mudenda trying to invoke the 1957 spirit. He says with the coming drought people need to adjust. Instead of eating Sadza just eat porridge and you should be fine. Drought mitigating measures par excellence.
