A year of dishing out cars 2025

Before a small group of avaricious people utilised title documents to control the majority's political, economic, and social well-being, Zimbabwe was a nation for everyone.

Donating cars and witnessing the Zanu PF women's league do kongonya while seductively wiggling their waists made it a good year.

2025 was an unforgettable year when Blessed Runesu Geza, a war veteran popularly known as 'Bombshell', escalated activism centring on anti-corruption campaigns, opposition to President Emmerson Mnangagwa's extended rule (the "2030" agenda), and demands for democratic reforms.

He accused Mnangagwa of nepotism, treason, economic sabotage through cronyism ties to businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei, whom he calls a "zvigananda" or blood-sucking tick, and betraying liberation ideals.

Mnangagwa's leadership has significantly deteriorated.  The country's democratic space has been shut down, and the keys have been tossed into the ocean. Mnangagwa has captured every vital institution of the country.

While Wicknell Chivhayo, who is referred to as a philanthropist, dishes out automobiles like confetti, civil servants continue to live in poverty. Donating cars and witnessing the Zanu PF women's league do kongonya while seductively wiggling their waists made for a good year. 

It is somewhat inconvenient to have access to clean water and electricity. Many Zimbabweans are living without power for longer periods of time. The Karanga hegemony political project, which unifies power in Zimbabwe, has been pushed by this administration. In order to govern the nation where we have seen everything related to ED, parallel organisations have been established. Nothing interesting to write about at home.

The President and his followers are at the centre of everything. The nation has been reduced to a one-man show.

The administration of Mnangagwa has been rife with vehicle fixation, factional conflicts, and nepotism. In order to promote the 2030 Agenda, the government used a variety of influential people, including musicians, football players, artists, and social organisations. This was an unforgettable year. 

We witnessed the dictatorship purchasing automobiles for its members rather than repairing the areas where service delivery is inadequate, hospitals lacking medication, and our roads remaining in terrible condition.

In sport. This was a year to swiftly forget. Zimbabwe is a soccer-loving nation, but its supporters were not allowed to see their favourite Warriors play at home for the entire year. Due to the fact that our stadiums do not adhere to FIFA regulations, all of our games were played abroad. The Warriors, however, made it to the AFCON finals, which will take place in Morocco, despite having the same bad management, and hiring a coach with no track record will backfire.

Fans from Zimbabwe will be disappointed once more in Morocco. The Warriors will lose in the first round due to poor preparation.

On a positive note Zimbabwe's Rugby national team popularly known as the Sables, World Cup qualification marked a historic return to the sport. We wish them all the best in their endeavours. Let's get Zimbabwe working again.
