The Chinese have hit the ground running at Bikita Minerals, looting lithium on an industrial scale. Workers say they have never seen such levels of production. 500tonnes/day. Kudya zvemarema
We have constantly raised alarm about the raging coal seam fires in Hwange that destroying lives. This pic was taken yesterday on the road from No.2 to No. 3. Gvt and the mining companies must act before a massive tragedy happens

Lydia Dube (30), tragically killed by an elephant whilst guarding a broken down crane at Chaba mine in Hwange yday. She was deployed alone @ night without a firearm. She also did not have radio communication system. Perhaps they wanted her to defend the machine with her body.
British Engineers completed Vic Falls Bridge linking Zambia & Zim in 1905. Material prefabricated in UK, shipped to Beira, then to Vic Falls by Rail - everything fitted well. We've failed to build a little bridge in Ruwa to complete dualization of Harare Marondera Rd since 2017
4 of the 6 countries that sent congratulatory msgs are involved in the plunder of Zim natural resources. Belarus, China, Russia and South Africa. Natural Resources are the Heart of the Matter when you reflect on the Zim Crisis. Svinurai!
As I traveled today I saw scores of latest SUVs which pass toll gates without paying a penny. Police and ZINARA officials just open for them on the outer lane. These are supposedly wealthy pple who claim to be patriotic and yet can't even

Bikita Lithium Looting Update 02/05/23
Fellow Zimbabweans, the looting of our minerals at Bikita Minerals has reached another level. They are processing 754 tonnes of concentrate per day. 42 trucks loaded with lithium concentrate departing daily with the loot.
As COP 26 opens in Glasgow, I bring to our attention the plight of the Hwange children permanently disabled by underground coal fires. We have been documenting this for the past 6 years.

Thank you Airforce of Zim!
A funeral vehicle burst a front tyre and hit a tree near Marondera. Occupants were seriously injured. Upon noticing the accident scene, the driver of an Airforce of Zim bus in front of me stopped. Thy all got out, sent one back to the bus to get gloves.
This is the only Ambulance at Bonda Hospital, servicing an entire district. And yet every 5 years this country imports more than 500 double cab vehicles for campaigns, more than 200 for chiefs, hundreds more to senior security and military officials.
Anatomy of a shithole country. The guy in Hilux didn't pay toll fee. He mumbled something that identified him as linked to ruling elites.All senior civil servants like

dont pay toll fees. What a shit of a country? The poor &suffering pay at gunpoint
About 80KM south of Mutare is a multi billion diamond field guarded by soldiers & Police armed to the teeth. This year Marange is penciled to produce 6 million carats of which 15% are gem quality, earning more than $300 per carat. Yet the provincial hospital is gory
More than ten doctors wrote to me this morning correctly expressing their legitimate anger at what happened to one of their colleagues yesterday in Manicaland.
This is Dr Mthabisi Nembaware.
He was involved in a road traffic accident yesterday, he was coming from a rural
Zimbabwe's incredibly resilient resurrection bush (Mufandichimuka). I took this near Matopos on 26/03/2023. Stored it in a plastic for a whole year. This week I retrieved it and put it in water and the tree revived again within a few hours. They say it's medicinal too.
I passed through Borrowdale today, saw a street with a boom gate, most likely some pple of self-importance & inflated ego live there. But look at the potholes! They don't care even about where they live! They are not ashamed at all. They don't even notice them! OMG
Trust me, I love my country and share the pain of it's citizens. I dont know how I can convince my government that its pro-China policy regarding our minerals does not belong to this century. It's imperialism and colonialism combined. Lithium ready for China at Sinomine.
My heart bleeds for this man who spent 5 years a Zimbabwean jail for possessing half a gram of gold he had not stollen from anyone. Now Henrietta gets away with a fine for trying to smuggle 6KGs of Gold.
Zimbabwe's Pensioners and War Vets sleeping on pavements in Mutare waiting to withdraw their pensions the following day. This has been happening for more than a decade. I have seen them on many occasions. Can we seriously move forward if we treat our elders this way.
SADC Final verdict: The election fell short of the requirements of the constitution of Zim, Zim electoral laws and SADC guidelines governing democratic elections.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I PRESENT TO YOU THE ICONIC MARANGE CLINIC, A STONE'S THROW FROM THE FAMOUS MULTI-BILLION MARANGE DIAMOND FIELDS! HAVE A GREAT SATURDAY
From Hwange to BYO there are more than 30 000 potholes and 2 tollgates.

Most of the time one has to leave the road altogether. Why is ZINARA collecting toll fees on this road. Ball joints come off, tyres burst, Vehicles overturn after hitting potholes
Received from Hwange: 'This guy was burnt by gas at a Chinese mine, South Mines, two days ago and was discharged after a day bcz the comp claimed they cant pay hosp bills. Jst been to see him and spoke to him. Chinese are evil'
Putin says he will give Zim 25 000 mt of grain 'FREE OF CHARGE plus a free Presidential Helicopter'. Really? There is no free lunch my people. Your land and minerals are gone!
I live in a country that has been in a permanent election mode for 23 long years. More than 90% of the country's income is deployed towards power retention. No investment in roads, rail, agriculture, health and education. Citizens fleeing as if escaping a house on fire.
1. Our 'sanctions-afflicted' Zim is sending a delegation of more than 100 pple to Cop 26 in Glasgow. Some are already there whilst others are packing their bags. Of the 100+ delegates, more than 60 have nothing to do with Climate Change

Did you know that the much talked about Manhize steel plant project is displacing families without compensation. This coming Saturday Mr Chris Mutsvangwa's Chinese compatriots will be exhuming graves without consent of the families. So much about an independent Zimbabwe!
A number of people died this morning when a ZRP Officer threw a spike a moving commuter bus near CMED Mutare this morning. Police have not yet confirmed the number of the dead.
This is how gvt has allowed the Chinese to desecrate our country. This is the once pristine Odzi River, now turned muddy by the Chinese. Can African or anyone be allowed to do this in China?
If you see a political organization that always pull large crowds, even at funerals, it means it has well developed and coordinated structures. It's just that u don't know how they function.
When you build infrastructure, don't act as if you've bn forced to do it against yr will. This is Hwange -Vic Falls Road. Bitumen has left. No progress. Bitumen is very professional - u pay, they deliver! Stop paying, they vacate. Work stopped about 3 months ago.
1. The people of Manicaland and Mutare in particular are traumatised by the decision by Mutare City Council to give Dangamvura Mountain to the Chinese for quarrying. Do we still have any dignity as Zimbabweans. Do we still value the country we purport to love?
Fellow Zimbabweans, it is with a heavy heart to announce that the tree planted by HE President Mnangagwa at Goromonzi High School in Dec 2019 is long dead. Cause of death is unknown. RIP lovely tree. We have been robbed of potential shelter.

Ready for China! Lithium bearing spodumene ore at Sinomine / Bikita Minerals. If you ask Mthuli what Zim is getting out of this he will respond in unknown tongues.
In Hwange Chinese women give black women their bloody menstrual panties to wash with bare hands. After relieving themselves the Chinese walk away &tell black workers to go flash the toilet.A Chinese boss has a bed in his office 4 sexual harassment. Harrowing tales by workers 2day

Until recently, black granite looters and their local collaborators used open trucks to transport their loot to the sea. Now, thanks to advocacy, they use containers to conceal the loot. Through this Act of God, the loot was exposed.

This building is at Harare Hospital. It was meant to be a mortuary. Construction stopped in August 1997 when Zim joined the DRC War. Many economists concur that Zimbabwe's post independence growth reached its peak in 1996, thereafter the descend into the bottomless pit.
Meanwhile reports from Bikita say at least 30 haulage trucks carrying lithium bearing ore are departing Sinomine / Bikita Minerals daily - heading to the sea! All for a song or for the benefit of whosoever is behind the deal
George Charamba tells the world Zim has bn stockpiling diamonds! With that statement he has destroyed the value of Zim diamonds by a significant percentage. As a rule of thumb, the word stockpile must NEVER be mentioned by a producer country

@PoliceZimbabwe
for the swift response. Its now over to the judiciary to ensure justice is not only served, but seen to be served as well.
Before we hype about Gas, lets ask questions: What did we do wrong with diamonds, chrome, gold, platinum and now lithium. Why did these failed to transform our economy. What shall we do differently this time. Otherwise its repeating same things & expecting different outcomes
When the President and the Minister of Mines sit with the Chinese and draw such a map and tell the Chinese they can go and do whatever they want in the area (DINDE), giving them police and CIO support to protect them against the local people, they have sold out.
Zim is Open for Business! More than 60 houses demolished to force 200 families of former mine workers out of premises of Sutton Mining Company, formerly Mine C, in Mberengwa. They now live in the open. This is how we treat our own in pursuit of $12 billion mining economy by 2023
Zimbos never witnessed this & our generation may never witness it. Namibia's founding President Sam Nujoma shaking hands with his successor Pohamba at the funeral of late Pres Geingob. This pic alone tells us why Namibia keeps rising, in spite of it being ruled by one party.
1. The arrest of Headman Chiadzwa and 28 others for protesting against Anjin Investments - a joint venture between AFECC and Zim Defence Industries - takes us back to 1890 when the British settlers illtreated our ancestors for defending their land
1/1 End All Displacements in Independent Zimbabwe
On Saturday 17 December, on my way from Harare to Mutare in the company of Hon. Fungai Nhaitai, we came across some families scattered by the roadside in Headlands. They were living in plastic shelters.
Mr Lazarus Kwidini, who has been very vocal in support of the Chinese coal project in Dinde, appear to be having a very important meeting with a Beifa Investments official
All the great & wonderful things happening in Zambia can be traced to one moment: When Kaunda conceded defeat to Chiluba in 1991. He could've chosen political harakiri but he wished Chiluba success. Since then leaders in Zambia have bn changed like diapers, for the same reason.
Fellow Zimbabweans, those who want to appreciate the Legend Sirizani Butau who pulled 8 passengers out of the burning Beta bus, whilst himself sustained serious burns in the process, his ecocash number is 0773024849. Lets do it
Its a Crime to be a Black Person living in Zimbabwe. Govt has committed $3.5 billion to compensate White Farmers but refused to compensate displaced Marange Families. Reason? They are black! Today gvt is bringing in Chinese to displace black peasants without compensation!
If a Minister, Senator, MP, ZANU PF officials & some supporters avoid paying toll fees, why must the ordinary citizens, civil servants who earn a pittance, the unemployed, and informal traders be forced to pay at gunpoint? Something foundationally wrong with Zimbabwe
Is it a coincidence that all the 3 lithium mining companies in Zim - Sinomine at Bikita Minerals; Zhejiang Huayou Cobaltβs Arcadia Mine in Goromonzi and Chengxin Lithium Group Companyβs Sabi Star Mine in Buhera with a combined capacity of 1,230,000 tonnes of ore / yr are Chinese
If you are an MP, Cabinet Minister or some VVIP who does not pay toll fees - - I don't care which party you belong to- you are rotten inside and part of the Zim problem. You are part of organized crime. In other words, utori mbavha pauri ipapo. Refuse that privilege!
There must be a thorough investigation into conditions in which the 4 were forcibly removed from the plane. Once a person has exited the security checkpoint, they have been cleared to depart. Boarding a plane adds another layer of security.
The Chinese have been ordered to conceal their mineral loot from Zimbabwe. Black Granite must now be in containers and lithium must be covered in tents. The poverty in mineral-producing districts is screaming! RDCs have no resources to take care of their development needs
How then can we build a normal society when you sit down and make laws that do not bind you. Kugara mu cabinet and say lets impose toll fees but we write each other exemption letters? What a joke
pay 220 bond for the roads they use. These include ZANU PF vehicles, several top government officials who earn big, members of parliament, chiefs etc They use the roads but they pass the burden of maintaining it to the impoverished povo
This is Chombe Village, towards Kanyemba. I appreciate this, Mr President. Road construction must be a non stop exercise! Svikaiwo kwedu Watsomba Rusape Road!

What we are not being told here is that all the artisanally mined lithium end up at Chinese warehouses in Harare before being smuggled to China, with help of Zim leaders.
Zim Finance Ministry Perm Sec George Guvamatanga promises to externalize forex to SA. If an ordinary citizen wants to pay hospital bills or fees in forex they must write a thesis to his ministry.
#OrganizedCrimeMustFall
A country full of expensive, latest vehicles of all types, shapes and sizes but with NO ROADS symbolizes institutional corruption of pandemic levels. Lets fix our country compatriots
Truth of the Matter is We who love Zimbabwe shall build our country and restore the dignity of our people. The looting of everything happening today will come to pass. Pic below is of trucks queueing to load lithium at Bikita Minerals for China.
Anyone who can't carry the burden of paying toll fees is a hypocrite, corrupt and unpatriotic. It must never be heard coming out of your mouth that you love this country. In other countries leaders declare their tax returns as a sign of patriotism.
Last night I went to Parirenyatwa Hospital to see a friend. Some had been waiting to see a physiotherapist since morning and where still in the queue. I saw relatives pushing their loved ones on trolleys and wheel chairs. It's gory. Chaotic. On our own!
Looks like it's now a war! Chinese-owned Peak Mine, Shurugwi. Wondering if this is how mining is done in China, especially in areas with human settlements
This matter is of public interest. At least the Zim authorities and the
@ChineseZimbabwe
must say something. Who are these Chinese nationals, where did they get the gold? What action is being taken to recover the gold & the money & bring the criminals to justice
@PoliceZimbabwe
If you get into a conversation with anyone who tells u the main reason we can't fix the economy are sanctions, and grudgingly acknowledges corruption or justifies it on sanctions, please run. You are speaking to a corruption entrepreneur.
My heart rejoices. Congrats to the Penhalonga miners who fought their way to the surface - working nonstop to rescue themselves for more than 3 days. They refused to give up hope. Give them formal mining jobs and further training in underground operations.

Min of Transport appealing to corporates for $$$ to fix Harare -Bindura road and yet are dead silent on the BYO -Vic Falls Rd - worst road in SADC - makes us wonder whether Matabeleland is part of Zim.
As the Royal Family of Sharjah receives 30 000 ha free land in Zim, in exchange for whatever, our own people are being forced off their land - Marange, Dinde, Uzumba, C Mine in Mberengwa, Ran Mine in Bindura.
All diamond producing countries - Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, Sierra Leone, Russia have on record the largest diamond they every discovered. Only Zimbabwe has remained a mystery. When a large diamond is discovered in Zim its either smuggled by the company

44 years after attaining Independence, Zim has failed to construct half a KM of railway! Makaoma! On this grand occassion, you have the President, his two deputies and ministers commissioning a fish pond!
Show me the stockpile of diamonds, chrome, platinum, black granite, lithium, coal, gold etc that is stranded in Zimbabwe since we can't sell because of sanctions! We are selling enough minerals whose value is above $10 billion annually. Its organized crime - chete chete!
No great country under the sun has ever been built by a bunch of pretenders and hypocrites who shy away from the burden of paying taxes. Paying taxes and other fiscal obligations is the number 1 sign of patriotism and qualification for leadership
Rushwaya gets Non Custodial sentence and a $5000 fine for attempting to smuggle 6kgs of gold to UAE. What does this mean? Smuggling of minerals is a petty crime in Zimbabwe!
Leaders who have ruined their own countries love traveling like kids. It never occurs to them that the countries they visit are a product of patriotic, disciplined and visionary leadership working together with citizens who demand the highest standards of governance.
Zimbabweans must reject subtle colonization of our country through these false climate solutions called Carbon Credits. 20% of our land has been sold to UAE for the enrichment of few individuals. No transparency.
Who is arming Chinese nationals to shoot our citizens in their own country & why are these criminals deported to China b4 they serve their sentences for attempted murder? This case happened in Shurugwi last wk.

Its not how much you tweet political rhetoric and propaganda. It's how much you contribute financially to the fiscus and national projects such as road infrastructure development through toll fees.
