You spent 10 months in Namibia with a job as a Zimbabwean. The ordinary young Namibian who is educated and certified does not have this privilege. I hope you went home to vote against Mnangagwa, our laws aren’t the problem, it is the leadership of your country that is.
Why I left Namibia
1. I was happy to get a job in Namibia in 2020. It's close to Zimbabwe. However, I lasted only 10 months before relocating to UK.
Namibia is friendly and peaceful. Windhoek city is clean & quiet. It has modern malls. Wide and modern roads etc.

We apologize on behalf of all law abiding citizens of Namibia, this man did not issue this congratulatory message on our behalf as a country. This is a message from Swapo to Zanu-PF, not from Namibians to Zimbabweans.
They will boast about Namibia being a peaceful country while remaining silent when a young fighter is jailed for standing with the masses of our people.5 months in jail for defying a system that rewards hypocrisy and weakness. Court appearance tomorrow. Be THERE‼️

Congratulations to my first employer! 💪🏾💪🏾 Your resilience brought you this far🔥 You’ve instilled the same spirit in many of us over the years! I am so grateful. Absolutely DESERVED.💪🏾
🇳🇦 Presidency issued this clumsy three-paragraph statement to congratulate a certain "MNANGANGWA" and ZANU-PF on what they refer to as "a peaceful Harmonised Elections”. In case you didn’t know, arresting dissenting voices is one of th similarities between th two administrations.
What does it solve to arrest Amushelelo if your citizens are crying for help? What exactly is the end goal here? There should be no question on whether as young leaders we support a fellow youth, Amushe is one of us and we will stand by him! Address the root cause; UNEMPLOYMENT!
Sir, it would be foolish of anyone to think otherwise. We are grateful, but we must also correct and help each other as a people of one region. For instance, why is it that young professional Zimbabweans refuse to partake in elections?
Upon my release from jail last week, we travelled to Opuwo in the Kunene region where a community has been displaced without relocation. We are actively engaging the Prime Minister’s office to come to their aid. In the meantime, we have put together resources to aid our people.🙏🏿
We mourn AKA because he didn’t just make music; he used his platform to fight for social justice. He understood his space as an artist, and th impact a single tweet could have in letting the rest of th world know what was and still is happening in Zimbabwe. RIP BHOVA! ✊🏾Multiply!
What an epic Sunday!

acknowledges the journey that the Zambian people have walked, collectively. Unlike some in the region who refuse to make mention of their predecessor’s legacies. This is a reminder for those in SADC, no one fought alone. No country must exist in isolation.

Dear Clever Black,
Being Member of Parliament does not suspend any of my rights. I am an MP ( citizen) who has a full understanding of my role beyond an air-conditioned office. Article 63 of our Constitution informs this conviction. I will never ever not be with our people. ✊🏾💪🏾
@Dilukeni
I applaud the bravery.
But she is a member of parliament. She is part of the government system. It doesn’t make sense that she is in the streets demonstrating when she’got the right platform to recommend practical policies to solve unemployment. Not just talking.
Exactly! Also, we shouldn’t take lightly the President’s endorsement of Zimbabwe’s elections.
@hagegeingob
should have issued that statement in his capacity as Swapo President NOT as Head of State.
The rest of us firmly stand by the SADC EOM’s statement.
How did he "trust" ZEC to run the election if that is their mandate? Was he supposed to start up his own ZEC to run the election? Can you imagine if on election day there are no ballot papers for 12-24 hours in opposition strongholds in Namibia next year?
Biggest Lesson so far as Youngest Elected Member of the National Assembly of Namibia:
Politicians don’t know everything. Just because you see them on your tv screen every now and then, does not mean you don’t know better than them. Find a platform - share your ideas. 🇳🇦 is OURS!

Countries like Zambia, Tanzania, th Soviet Union all supplied military support to th ANC and PAC. Zimbabwe served as Chairman of the frontline states, they spoke out strongly against apartheid policies in South Africa and repeatedly called for economic sanctions agnst the regime.
Please stop this propaganda… The only SADC country that tried to assist South Africa was Mozambique & our Defense Force downed Samora Machel’s plane in retaliation. Zimbabwe continued to use our ports so they could be the so-called breadbasket of Africa. We liberated ourselves!
Very.. Especially as recent SADC Troika chair, he should've taken SADC EOM's statement into account before releasing that statement. he seems to forget that we go to the polls next year. how does his endorsement of that sham of an election in Zimbabwe give us confidence here?
Maybe it is true that some businesses exist for profit, but these our mothers, fathers and siblings do business for survival - we must therefore support them at every chance we get.

Who is doing that? There’s no pointing of fingers here. The brother said our laws are too strict, point taken. I’m saying let’s make all countries’ economies work, so that the social burdens of one country do not become the economic responsibility of another.

I fully understand the decision to up and go to another country for greener pastures, but in general why do we rid ourselves of the responsibility to fix things back home? Why do we get that comfortable? Who will fix our countries for us?
