I support Zimbabwe's readmission to the Commonwealth, but it must be guided by the 1991 Harare Declaration. Following Sir Lindsay Hoyle's meeting with Speaker Mudenda, I ask: Did they discuss the disputed parliamentary committee, CAB3, the PVO Act, shrinking civic space and Zimbabwe's compliance with Commonwealth principles? Or are Britain's economic interests taking precedence over democratic values? Zimbabwe must return not only to the Commonwealth, but to its principles.

H.E. President @edmnangagwa addresses the nation on the occasion of the SADC Anti-Sanctions Day Commemorations, 25 October 2026.

A massive congratulations to our Zimbabwe Sables on an incredible and hard-fought 36–33 victory over Namibia today! Playing our first international match at this historic venue in over two decades, you showed true determination, resilience, and the unmistakable spirit of Zimbabwe. From our clinical execution at the set pieces, precision in the lineouts, to the decisive tactical kicking under pressure, it was a masterful display of rugby. Holding off a fierce comeback to secure this win right at the wire has made the entire nation immensely proud. Thank you to the technical team, the players, and the thousands of fans who came out to lift our boys today. This is a monumental step forward for Zimbabwean rugby. Keep flying the flag high, Sables! The journey continues.

Biti is a Senior Lawyer, Senior opposition leader, ex Min of Fin & well regarded internationally. He knows that what he says carries weight. He also knows about the importance of credibility, honesty & integrity. So, in relation to the sensational allegations that Tagwirei funded the opposition, he has got the responsibility to provide credible evidence to flesh this out. Surely you can't just blurt out one sentence on social media in a manner that could be perceived as sensational & reckless on a subject of such sensitivity & importance - when you know that it's likely to be weaponised to delegitimise an already fractured & beleaguered opposition. I must say that, that same allegation was relayed to me with some degree of vehemence by some parties in a certain political camp & a few journalists way back, in the same generalised manner. I will leave this there. One would expect the following pertinent questions to be answered if this were true: a. How much was paid? b. How was it paid? c. To whom was it paid? d. When was it paid? e. Where was it paid? f. Where there any witnesses? If so, disclose who they are to help corroborate your allegations to make them credible. It's reasonable to assume that such funding, for elections would have involved a huge figure if true, and the sheer logistics of moving it to resource the whole party would have required the involvement of more than one person or one branch of the party, thereby rendering physical or digital footprints virtually impossible to avoid! At present the challenge is that the allegations are levelled against Nelson Chamisa and we all know that Biti & Chamisa fell out sometime ago. This creates a potential plausible motive for Biti that Chamisa is entitled to rely on to dismiss the allegations. The onus then shifts back to Biti to prove that his sensational allegations can stand up to scrutiny through the provision of compelling & verifiable evidence. As a rule of thumb, the more damaging the allegations made are by a party from a severed / strained relationship, the greater the responsibility to provide incontrovertible evidence in support of them to avoid charges of malice or bitterness. If you have got an important message or revelation, you ordinarily want it to be appreciated on its own merits & the best way of achieving this is by pre-empting charges of bias, malice or bitterness through putatively setting out compelling evidence because you ought to anticipate the potential backlash or pushback from supporters of the target of the allegations!
