You need much more than good institutions in order to achieve transformative governance. You also need :
1. Good politicians
2. Innovative and transformative governance ideas
3. Critical and informed citizens
4. Good systems
5. Clear values

My Namibian friend phoned to ask " Meneer Brian ,if let's say a polling station had 800 registered voters& 1300 voted on polling day , why do you Zimbabweans want to open ballot boxes? Isn't it clear there is an anomaly when more people vote than registered?"

How come the WAR has only delivered Rolls Royce, Porsche's , Range Rover's , Mansions, Farms and Mega Tenders & contracts for the children of a tiny Elite out of thousands who were at the War Front and thousands more whose parents died to liberate Africa?

Between 1984 and December 1988, Between 20 to 30,000 civilians from Matebeleland & the Midlands were killed or permanently disappeared. Why ? Zanu PF leaders alleged that they were 'Dark Forces' acting in collusion with 'Foreign interests' . Never proved!

You are right to criticise errors of judgment&leadership. But be careful not to focus all your attention on pointing out the errors of victims as though thuggery could have been prevented through attention to detail, meticulous planning, and astute management.

You don't win any legal argument by being loud, dismissive or demeaning. You don't deny numbers using slurs , try a calculator.If you made a fundamental mistake after 5 days of looking at same simple set of numbers then it is fair to say something is amiss

#AfricanLivesMatter
When State sponsored violence does not affect your mother , brother , sister , father , wife, cousin or friend it seems both remote & justified. You argue that the victims deserved it 'what were they doing in the first place?'.Grief has no permanent address!

I keenly read the well written judgment. I am not persuaded by its reasoning . A letter written on a letter head by someone claiming to hold a position in an organisation without independent proof cannot give rise to operation of the law to erode voter's rights

Even for those of us who resent unjustified attacks on China by the West ( Sinophobia) , we find your self-righteous statement in very bad taste. Some modesty or even an apology or promise to investigate would show that you consider us Africans as partners

In Summary the Chefs want us to believe that:
1. Army only arrived after people had been shot
2. Kneeling soldier did not shoot he was ducking stones
3.MDC-A is armed,it shot it's own supporters in order to blame the army/Zanu PF
You must think we are fools?

It is clear now that given his megalomania, frail & advanced age , Robert Mugabe was a convenient Alibi for the merchants of plunder . He was touted as the power , but alas he was a mere ghost story , a bogeyman! Behold the real High Priests of looting !

Edison Zvogbo used to say "A lie remains a lie no matter how often it is repeated". It follows then that "Truth remains true no matter how much it is denied , covered up , concealed or even violated"

The Leadership of Zimbabwe needs to stop militarizing society by using the military in order to suppress or win every argument about its legitimacy,popular will, human rights and democratic dissent .The risks of teach young people the logic of force are scary

For President Mnangagwa there must be natural empathy with fired nurses . He knows what it means to be summarily dismissed unlawfully and without a fair hearing
#AfricanLivesMatter
Before you all blame rural voters & accuse them of all sorts of things,did you know that in Mutare,Bulawayo, Harare & Gweru alone 400,000 plus registered voters did not vote on polling day ? Vote difference between two leading candidates is a fraction of this

Every registered Zimbabwean voter must understand that consistent low ( below 56%) urban voter turn-out has handed victory to Zanu PF or denied victory , to the opposition.
To change this, you need an average 85% voter turn out across all urban constituencies

We have never answered the question: 'Who killed Chitepo,Tongogara, Ndangana, Border Gezi, Chris Ushewokunze, Gen. Solomon Mujuru, etc. Who are these murderers?'...Who has made 5 attempts on Mnangagwa's life in less than 4 years? Are we missing something ?

In 1979 coming into 1980 Bishop Abel Muzorewa ( the PM of the aberrant Zimbabwe-Rhodesia ) littered the country with billboards&flyers. He spent a lot of money on Chiefs & recruiting youth into a militia(Pfumo Revanhu).He gave teachers cars. He got 3 seats

Let me remind you of crude numbers..66% of Zimbabweans are under age 24 yrs; 85% under 39yrs & 96% under age of 64 yrs. 99% of top government leadership is 65yrs and above?? So 4% of the population by reason of war decides most things for 96% of the country
