Incredibly disappointing service from @liquidhomezim yesterday. Having not honoured an instruction to change packages on a particular date, I have now been saddled with a subscription I didn't want while also enduring a week of a fault. A service I need for work has let me down.
Finally. Bail is a human right. So is freedom from torture and arbitrary incarceration. So is free expression and the freedom to associate with whomever you please. GoZ, Respect the constitution. Respect the people of Zimbabwe.
BREAKING: Bail granted for @namataik_ , @cdegwenzi & @robohchere on these conditions:
1. To deposit US$150 equivalent in Zig
2. To report every last Friday of month
3. Not to interfere with state witnesses
4. To reside at given addresses

2/3: During this challenging time, we remain resolute in our call for their immediate release together with all political prisoners. We stand united, advocating for justice & the protection of their rights, and we will not rest until they are released. #FreeThemAll @KofiAnnanFdn

There is no justification for a continued persecution of human rights defenders. Bail is a human right!!!
Bail ruling in the matter four rights activists Robson Chere, Namatai Kwekweza and Samuel Gwenzi are accused of disorderly conduct has been set for August 16

If only our leaders were interested in fostering an environment of freedom and growth and prosperity for all - you know, for people! Apparently, the most important thing to show off is new roads and palm trees. #sad #sadcsummit
"A matter of human dignity..." rest in power Tapfumaneyi Masaya. I am so sad and so sorry that you lost your life. #notoabductions #notomurder
What an absolute nightmare trying to track down my closed @BarclaysUK account. I have filled in pages of paperwork and sent it by registered post and still deafening silence. Surely you cannot just hold someone's life savings ransom? #sofrustrated #bankingnightmares

🟡CONGRATULATIONS to Ian Makone & Kudzai Kadzombe on being elected Mayor & Deputy Mayor of the City of Harare respectively. Here’s wishing them all the best in their tenure. 🇿🇼✨
One would do well to remember that when one starts bestowing honorary degrees on one's spouse and elevating sons to positions of power, it's not one's opponents he ought to worry about... just sayin'

🌻ICYMI: Mt Pleasant has started a constituency poster clear up. We’ll be on the ground removing posters & tidying up our neighbourhoods. Zanu PF candidate, Beadle Gwasira has given us the go ahead to remove his as well. Let’s join hands to make Mt Pleasant pleasant #ForEveryone!
This is hardest truth. And the reason i am determined to keep trying. For the millions who still hope that things can be different, even when their hopes are dashed again and again and again.
This savage retaliatory behaviour must stop. #peaceinzim
The property of Peter Taonana, the CCC candidate for Maramba Pfungwe Ward 1, has been set on fire.
For the past two weeks, ZANU-PF has been targeting CCC rural candidates and polling agents, destroying their properties.
The police and ZEC remain silent.

🟡BREAKING - lawyers @DougColtart and Tapiwa Muchineripi have been granted $100 bail each and have been ordered to report weekly to the police. This attack on human rights lawyers who are serving their clients in accordance with the Constitution is hugely concerning.
Jessica Drury retweeted
1. Associating a lawyer with the cause of their client must be condemned in the most robust sense. Rule of law, not rule by law. Respect the rule of Just Law.
UN Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers state:
- Lawyers shall not be identified with the client's cause; - Authorities shall safeguard the security of lawyers when under threat;
- Lawyers shall not be identified with the client's cause; - Authorities shall safeguard the security of lawyers when under threat;
- Lawyers shall not be threatened with prosecution, economic or admin sanction;
- Lawyers are entitled to freedom of expression, belief association & assembly
1. Lawyers under siege in 🇿🇼! 2 lawyers,@DougColtart
& Tapiwa Muchineripi of @ZLHRLawyers, representing 2 CCC members who had been abducted & were receiving treatment at a hospital in Harare, have been arrested & charged with obstructing the course of justice.@SRjudgeslawyers

🟡2 young people are abducted & tortured by suspected state agents. They’re left for dead but later go to hospital. Police storm the hospital & demand to see them. Their lawyers decline due to the mental & physical state of their clients. Lawyers arrested. Illegitimacy stinks.🙌🏽
