I've seen a lot of anger & frustrations being (mis)directed towards some institutions led by individuals now part of the many #4ED structures.

Perhaps we need first, to try & understand the political gamesmanship motivating these gimmicks by the regime.
2] To begin with, most of these #4ED structures are actually founded & run by ZanuPF members while those mostly active on social media, are controlled by counter intelligence operatives.

Presenting them as none aligned institutions just supporting ED's re-election is deliberate.
3] Theres something to learn also, from the timing of the mushrooming of these institutions, & their choreographed political massaging.

These "unstuctured" institutions, though seemingly appearing independent, are actually being unmistakably remote controlled from somewhere.

Social media has been awash with this video where Limpopo Health Member of the Executive Council (MEC) Dr Phophi Ramathuba confronts a Zimbabwean immigrant waiting for a medical procedure in a SAn hospital.

The video is extremely painful to watch.
2] At face value, it's extremely unethical for Dr Phophi, a health practitioner to confront & humiliate a patient, as she is otherwise duty bound to attend to the health needs of patients.

It certainly brings into question, her professional conduct as a medical practitioner.
3] However, besides being a professional doctor, the MEC is also a political figurehead of the ANC, performing administrative duties in the Province.

In fact, she rationalizes her conduct in a way that certainly will find resonance with those governing & funding SAn institutions

Fellow citizens, as we edge towards 2023, propaganda & threats such as this, will most certainly become the order of the day.

Through this statement, Mr Chinamasa has invited us into reading ZanuPF's thoughts.

However, it's just a whisper in the wind.
2] It was only a matter of time before ZanuPF removed its mask, and formally joined the demands for CCC to have "structures, constitution, and a leadership".

Away from the pretence of enhancing democracy as Mr Patrick Chinamasa claims, the important question becomes, why?
3] It's in order, recognizing & thanking Mr Chinamasa for this story in the Daily News.

Hopefully, citizens who were innocently joining this bandwagon can properly realize that there's indeed a desperate attempt by the regime to push CCC along a road full of set traps.

The Shona people speak of a phenomenon called "charinga".

It's a tragic 'disease' where certain individuals tend to be easily distracted.

In medical terms, they call it: "Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder" (ADHD), often beginning from childhood.
2] Growing up, parents would always pick this up & use it to monitor behaviors.

In families, any child with "charinga" wouldn't be entrusted with important tasks, particularly those involving traveling.

Often mothers would say: "kutuma Takunda necharinga chake, haadzoki".
3] In politics, the phenomenon is just as evident.

Quite easily, both citizens & leaders in the alternative, exhibit signs of "political charinga".

The regime picked this up, and has ever since thrown around many distractions to hook & redirect attention from key tasks at hand.

Is it not tragic, on the part of a 'liberation movement', that while it's in government, people begin rationalizing & normalizing political persecution?

How does it happen, that we begin questioning why some Opposition leaders 'never get arrested'?
2] On the part of the Harare regime, it definitely needs to sink its revolutionary head in the sand, in shame, over how it behaves like a colonial government.

It's in that era, where opponents where hounded & made to feel like inferior human beings, let alone citizens.
3] On the part of the Citizens, the conversations on why this or that Opposition Leader doesn't get arrested while his or her colleagues do, needs to be engaged with caution.

If done otherwise, we run the risk of being left internally focused, while chasing conspiracy theories.

This submission below, by mukoma D. Mwonzora, leader of the smaller MDC-T faction makes for a very sad reading in as far as our democracy & the 2023 elections are concerned.

There are three issues raised by mukoma Dougie, that are particularly striking.
2] Firstly, mukoma Dougie makes the dangerous claim that Abigail Mohadi, was shortlisted by Parliament, on the basis of her qualifications for the ZEC Commissioners' post.

Put differently, mukoma Mwonzora is communicating that the lady in question is qualified for the job.
3] What's concerning about this assertion is that it's all propaganda.

It would've been fair, for mukoma Mwonzora, to react authoritatively, to how Abigal Mohadi actually performed during the interview, particularly because her below par performance is now in the public domain.
