A lady once told me she rejected a man she genuinely liked because he was 32 and still living with his parents Her argument was simple: “I'm not going to marry a grown man and start teaching him how to be independent.” The man had a good job, dressed well, took her on dates, and never asked her for money But the moment she discovered he lived with his parents, she started seeing him differently. She asked him when he planned to get his own place. He told her he could afford one but didn't see the point of spending money on rent when his parents needed his help She wasn't convinced. She told him she wanted a man who had built his own life, not someone who was still living under his parents' roof. He didn't beg her to reconsider. He simply wished her well, and they went their separate ways. Six months later, she was dating another man who owned an apartment and drove a nice car. She felt she'd made the right decision. Then one afternoon, she ran into her former date at a supermarket. He was with a little boy who kept calling him Dad. Curious, she asked about the child.

With the United States and Israel at war with Iran to stop its nuclear program, Temba Mliswa's "trade trip" to that country that is at war with the U.S. and Israel — with a business delegation from Zimbabwe — could be construed as the Second Republic's 2030 faction directly challenging U.S. and Israeli national security interests. The reason why this trip is ill-conceived and could destroy relations between Zimbabwe, the U.S., and Israel is that Temba Mliswa is seen as a relative of the President Mnangagwa and an ally of Kuda Tagwirei, the recently appointed Minister of Economic Development and " Vice President in waiting" who has fuel interests. Consequently, the U.S., which has been trying to get access to uranium in Kanyemba and other strategic minerals in Zimbabwe but has not received favorable terms from the Mnangagwa government, may find this move to trade with Iran as a hostile move by the 2030 faction. This is especially so considering that currently the U.S. Congress is mulling over a new Act to reassess U.S.–South Africa relations with the intention of sanctioning members of the South African government because it [merely] gave moral support to Iran in its war against Israel. Additionally, U.S. sanctions on Iran have been tightened since the U.S. and Israel began their strike on Iran, and Trump has been unequivocal that he will sanction any country trading with Iran and facilitating capital flows — worse still — its access to strategic minerals that could enable it to attain a military advantage on the battlefield. So now, with Iran considering ramping up its civilian nuclear program and maybe even its uranium enrichment program for military purposes—while at war with Israel and the U.S.—this visit by a known ally of the President and sanctioned Minister of Economic Development of a country with huge high-quality uranium deposits, could be misinterpreted as President Mnangagwa’s government materially assisting Iran to attain its objective of enriching its uranium to weapons-grade. Temba's trip — whether for normal trade or uranium/strategic minerals/gold for oil — will undoubtedly be flagged as a huge threat to U.S. and Israeli national security interests. It will also definitely be seen as a threat to Zimbabwe's own national security interests by the military and intelligence cluster in our country. This affair brings me back to my warning against the President appointing Kuda Tagwirei as Minister of Economic Development when he does not have a good relationship with the army and military intelligence, he does not respect government channels and protocols, he puts his business interests ahead of national interests, he has his own parallel group of foreign and local advisors who are not the smartest in the room, and he is still under U.S. sanctions. This trip is ill-conceived, badly timed and looks like a direct poke in the eye of U.S. and Israel, putting to nought the Second Republic’s mantra “an enemy to none and a friend to all”. It also is a clear contravention of the U.S. International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) that prohibits any third-party country from assisting a nation that is at war with the U.S. or has been declared a national security threat to the U.S. These are threats the Minister and the President should have known and been advised on by JOC, unless the decision was made by the Minister — who is known for circumventing government channels — without consultation with the security apparatus, hence Temba Mliswa, a non-government official is leading the delegation. This move by the pro-2030 faction was suicidal and could just be the fatal blow to 2030, as the calculus in Washington and Tel Aviv around Zimbabwe’a succession will now change immediately after this reckless move.

I'm feeling violent today @Grok Kindly give us the terms of the friendship treaty signed between Chief Tendai Mutasa (the direct ancestor of the fellow below) and Cecil John Rhodes in 1890.

I thought Rhodes’ grave was a tourist attraction that generates revenue. The imperialist is now paying for his own deeds through tourism. Perhaps the chief should also raise concerns about the mountains disappearing because of mining. activities. That, too, is part of the heritage we should be protecting.

When we reduce it to economic benefit, are we saying that place is only significant to us economically? But, was it the reason why Matopos has always been a sacred place? When we speak of restoration and recovery, are we speaking of money, or of the restoration of cultural and spiritual sovereignty? In other words, are we prepared to mortgage our sovereignty off in return for payment? These are choices we need to make, clearly.
