Uganda's opposition lawmakers plan to change how the country picks its top military leaders. They believe the president should not select these powerful people alone. Their new proposal would force the government to let parliament check and approve anyone chosen as Chief of Defence Forces or deputy chief. They included this idea in their defense budget plan for next year.
These lawmakers worry that military leaders control way too much power and money without anyone watching them. Derrick Nyeko, who speaks for the opposition on defense matters, says parliament needs to ensure these leaders have the right education, skills, and character. He points out a strange difference in the rules: Police chiefs and prison leaders need parliament's...
Zimbabwe faces political turmoil again as former fighters push for President Mnangagwa to step down. They plan a nationwide action on March 31, bringing back memories of 2017 when Robert Mugabe lost power after 37 years. These veterans support Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and say Mnangagwa broke his promises about fixing the economy and making the country more democratic. They blame him for widespread corruption, playing favorites, and letting his friends and family steal from the country.
Mnangagwa has only three years left in office because of term limits, yet his loyal followers want him to stay past 2028. The president claims he respects the constitution and plans to leave on time. Former lawmaker Blessed Runesu Geza leads...
The Zimbabwe police chief for Harare just banned everyone from carrying weapons for the next two months. Chief Michael Masvivi made this rule start today, March 27, exactly three days before big protests planned across the nation. He said nobody can carry things like catapults, machetes, clubs, axes, swords, or knives until May 31. This applies whether you hide these items or show them off.
War veteran Blessed Geza, nicknamed "Bombshell," wants people to protest on March 31. He hopes to push President Emmerson Mnangagwa out of office before his term ends. Many citizens believe that Mnangagwa hangs around with corrupt friends who steal money from the country. Masvivi claims he can make this weapons ban because of Section 13 in the peace...
Temba Mliswa, a straight-talking independent lawmaker who used to belong to ZANU PF, thinks the March 31 protest against President Mnangagwa might lead to trouble. He shared his thoughts on the X platform, warning that protests without permits could cause the government to crack down hard on people.
The planned protest has gained steam on social media, with war veteran Blessed "Bombshell" Geza pushing for action against Mnangagwa. Many citizens want to speak up about money problems and how the country is run. But Mliswa says this approach might backfire badly.
He believes people have the right to protest according to the constitution. However, he stresses these protests need official approval. Without this green light, the government...
Geza talks big but hides when he does it. He tells ED and his friends what he plans to do ahead of time, giving them plenty of chances to create plans against him. The way things might happen looks pretty interesting. Back in 2017, things seemed clearer because most security groups supported Chiwenga, except the Police and CIO. Today, even the armed forces disagree among themselves, making everything more complicated.
We can clearly see that Zanu lacks real power since the military controls most decisions. The army will never let Zanu lose power because they use the party to control the country and pick leaders. They would work with anyone who seems acceptable internationally. That explains how Mnangagwa came back to become President...
President Mnangagwa announced that Zanu PF had created plans for rules about party members' social media behavior. He talked about this at their big party meeting today, which was attended by 125 Central Committee members at their headquarters. These new guidelines will control what officials say on digital platforms.
"We already started making social media rules," Mnangagwa explained to everyone there. The system aims to manage all official party communications online. He reminded the committee to ensure that members followed proper procedures and thanked them for setting better behavior standards.
The Central Committee discussed these matters privately at their session. Their meeting focused on major political challenges facing the...
The cops arrested singer Trevor Dongo at the police station in downtown Harare earlier today. They blamed him for damaging stuff when fire wrecked the place he rented. His angry landlord called the police and filed charges against him. The cops accused Trevor of causing the blaze that burned his apartment.
Trevor showed up with lawyer Dumisani Mthombeni by his side when he faced the police. The officers made him read and sign papers warning him about what might happen next. These papers listed the official charge of malicious damage to property. The police let Trevor walk free after he finished the paperwork.
War veteran Blessed Geza recently spoke out against President Emmerson Mnangagwa. He accused the president of using young girls at Midlands State University with help from Owen Mudha Ncube. Known as "Bombshell," Geza said he plans to fight against those around Mnangagwa. He called these people "Zvigananda" and promised the March 31 protests would happen as planned.
Geza introduced himself and explained why he had come back. He said certain people near Mnangagwa cause problems for regular citizens. Farmers struggle to receive money because of these individuals. Geza wants everyone to know who they are and what they do.
First on his list was Kudakwashe Tagwirei. Geza claimed Tagwirei wants to become president after Auxillia Mnangagwa...
Preacher Panganai Java, also called Prophet Passion, made fun of people who wanted to protest against President Emmerson Mnangagwa. He posted on social media that Mnangagwa will stay in power despite war veteran Blessed Geza planning protests for March 31. Java wrote laughing emojis and told people not to forget to pay rent that day, making fun of the planned demonstrations.
Java directly mocked Geza with the comment, "Geza wants to overthrow the government with data." This referred to how Geza uses internet platforms to organize against what many see as an unfair government. Many Zimbabwe citizens felt angry about Java's words because they face real money problems, high prices, and human rights issues under Mnangagwa's leadership...
