Our Change Champion, Bishop Tapfumaneyi Masaya, who was abducted in Mabvuku while campaigning, has been found dead. They recalled a legitimately elected MP of Mabvuku, Hon. Kufa. Today, this has cost an innocent life. He shall have justice. @Cde_Ostallos
The dictatorship in Zimbabwe is nothing but an oppressive barbaric & murderous group of thugs. Bishop Tapfumaneyi Masaya who was abducted by ZanuPF agents on Nov 11 was today found dead. What government does this? How is anyone inspired by this callousness? Justice will be served for Masaya and others. We must never forget this💔💔💔RIP Bishop T. Masaya. @PastorEvanLive
The truly despicable Zanu PF thugs are beyond redemption. We have said this time & time again that Zanu PF are ruled by psychopaths - who need to be institutionalised in order to protect the electorate. This is NOT politics - this is MURDER @ZHRO_Zimbabwe
Deeply saddened by the tragic loss of CCC activist Tapfumanei Masaya. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends during this difficult time. May his dedication to change and the pursuit of justice be remembered. 🕊️ #RIPMasaya #RIPTapfumaneiMasaya. @SouthendCcc

We should refuse getting used to the shedding blood of any Zimbabwean. This is not a partisan political issue. It is a matter of human dignity. It is against our culture. It is against our beliefs. It is against our laws.
No more shedding of blood. It's enough!!

Devastating news that Pastor Tapfumanei Masaya has been murdered. My heart breaks for Zimbabwe. But I also know justice will come one day. As Archbishop Tutu always said of the fight against apartheid, ‘God’s mills may grind slowly but they grind very fine all the same’

Terrible, Terrible news. This is not good. What is even worse is that there will be no arrests and proper prosecution of the known Zanu PF members that have done this terrible deed.

Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa:
Recently elected HIMSELF through electoral rigging and as seen as the illegitimate leader of Zimbabwe, Mnangagwa continues his 'legacy' of destroying, looting and abuse of power. For the past 6 years he has been in power, there is so much evidence that Zimbabwe has been in it's worst state ever, with no development at all and the country is going back into the 'old' age. [see Amnesty International, This Website and ZHRO's articles.]
One of the CCC member's (activist Simbarashe Jingo) made a comment on how unconstitutional this move, to change from Sovereign Wealth Fund of Zimbabwe to Mutapa Investment Fund is proof that he is on a looting spree, as he describes that this is a "looting vehicle" that will be "one of the biggest loots ever in Zimbabwe".
It is recorded that Zimbabwe is losing over a billion dollars {$1,000,000,000} each year to looting, corruption and Mnangagwa being the king pin. Mnangagwa has done nothing to change the lives of Zimbabwe but only corruption and 'crushing' his opponents.
Former Finance Minister of Zimbabwe, Tendai Biti, on his interview with Heart and Soul said, the SI {Statutory Instrument} brought 20 state entities under one roof.
"The instrument does not meet the test of law and must be rejected as it is illegal. This law was unnecessary,” Biti said.
“They are transferring the public shares into a private vehicle. The government already owns the shares, I think the issue is to sell shares as quickly as possible without public scrutiny.”
A Sovereign Wealth Fund, according to Mt Pleasant MP, Fadzayi Mahere, is a state-owned investment fund comprised of money generated by the government through, for example, surplus reserves from state-owned natural resource revenues, trade surpluses, bank reserves that accumulate from budgeting excesses, foreign currency operations or money that accrues from privatization projects.

Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, nicknamed "The Crocodile" due to his Crocodile "farm" {where all the bodies are disposed of -allegedly} seen in this cartoon, aptly encapsulating the new Mutapa Wealth Fund.

UPDATE: 16th September 2023: SADC Observer "Attack" bt ZBC! Dr. Nevers Mumba {SADC Chief Observer} remains unwavering despite a Zanu-PF collaboration with some Zambians on a documentary he views as a threat to national security. CLICK HERE to read/download his statement
Many Zimbabweans gathered outside Number 10 Downing Street on a warm and sunny Friday {15th September 2023} to deliver a Petition with 11 recomendations to the UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, and the Minister for Africa (and Development at the FDCO - Foreign Development and Commonwealth Office) the Rt Hon Andrew Mitchell MP.
Myself and Chief Ndiweni handed over the documents at the doors of Number 10 Downing Street - the Official Residence of the PM. You can Read or Download our 15 page, evidence based Petition by Clicking HERE.
On the day we also took the opportunity to greet Zimbabweans from all over the UK; Glasgow, Scotland; Manchester, Birmingham, Leicester, Portsmouth, Southampton, Stockton-on-Tees, Coventry, Leeds, Milton Keynes and many more! We show here a link to our Flickr Pro Platform to see the progress of the day. These are stills - we will have some video content to add shortly.
The key and salient point in the petition are listed here below;
- The shambolic, corrupt and heavily biased election “process” from Delimitation/Registration manipulations, the dis-organised election 23-24th August, the Alterations of V11’s and the post-election violence against CCC members – Zimbabwe has had NO CREDIBLE ELECTION
- The rushed announcement by ZEC to proclaim Mnangagwa as the Presidential victor {now removed} reeks of ill-advised panic by Mnangagwa.
- The ambivalence of the Military and their declarations to “The president” {as opposed to the Constitution} all smack of corruption at the faux ‘inauguration’.
- Zanu PF are a regional “Destabilisation Organisation” - using looted funds to maintain injustice, corruption and violence! Further rumour has Zanu PF trying to ‘engineer’ a coup on Zambia using the previous
President. - Details of all Observer Missions accessible in Appendices[1]
- Arbitrary and frequent arrests of CCC MP’s and activists to manipulate potential voting.
- No progress on a DIASPORA VOTE – disenfranchising several millions of Zimbabweans globally.
- Further rumour has Zanu PF actively supporting ANC in SA to support their corruption of democracy.
- Job Sikhala is still being held in detention {15 months and counting}
- Remember the #GoldMafia[2] Criminal Syndicate in Zimbabwe, has not been fully investigated.
- We therefore plead with the UK/FCDO to join with SADC/AU/US/EU/Commonwealth, Carter Centre and others, to sponsor a new, INDEPENDENTLY administered, Free and Fair Election in Zimbabwe to accurately reflect the Will of the voting ELECTORATE.

Here are six key takeaways from #GoldMafia
Clean Gold? There’s no such thing
No matter where you buy your gold and regardless of the country’s stamp on it, the very nature of the gold trade makes it extremely difficult to guarantee where it originated from.
The investigation showed how gold smuggled from Zimbabwe makes its way to Dubai and, according to experts in money laundering and illicit trade, is then exported to other major gold hubs like Switzerland and London.
These transfers are possible because gold is melted and refined repeatedly, a process that obfuscates all traces of its origin, making it particularly difficult for law enforcement agencies to build evidence against suspected smugglers.
This also means it is hard to be certain if gold purchased on the open market is ethically and legally clean or whether it is free of laundering and crime. A watch might have been made with gold from a conflict region, or a bar of gold may have been mixed with smuggled gold.
Amjad Rihan, a former partner at the consulting firm Ernst & Young, was responsible for auditing Dubai-based Kaloti a decade ago when it was one of the largest gold refineries in the world. He was blunt in his assessment. “Gold that comes to refiners, once it’s refined, it’s practically brand new gold,” he told Al Jazeera.
