  3. The PF government has realised that it will lose in 2021 so it has decided to spending big on the security wings so that they can enforce a dictatorship when PF lose in 2021.

  4. Respected academic Dr Pedzisai Ruhanya has suggested that any discussions to arrest the country’s problems should include the military which he said has been in a coalition arrangement with the ruling Zanu PF party.
    Posting on Twitter this morning, Ruhanya said military partisanship was the biggest elephant in the room when it comes to addressing the political problems facing the country.
    “Military has turned itself into a political party. Been in a coalition gov with ZANU PF since 1980. Any discussion to address the Zimbabwe problem must include the Military and its ZANU PF Coalition partners so that their demands. Military partisanship must be addressed,” said Ruhanya.

  9. Our police officers lack adequate equipment like comms radios per cop, bullet proof vests, pistols they still carry heavy AK47 assault rifles, they are still transported from A to B in the back of vans and that silly boy Kampyongo the former Katondo St currency dealer wants to build them houses so he and his party can put up prefab units and pocket the rest of the funds for PF campaign fund. If we had serious people like John Magufuli he would given this contract to ZNS to do this contract at half the price but we know these morons have no genuine love for the country.
