While the World is busy thinking about climate change and economic collapse, some in a vast landlocked country are busy trying to get passports, healthcare certificates, certificate of sponsorship, crossing the crocodile infested rivers to get out of Zimbabwe.
Embezzling of minerals have taken a new toll as power has been given to ED's children. His uncles and nephews have got high jobs in the finance ministry, banking sectors, and security. This is pure galvanising his position. The rate at which they are stealing is unprecedented.
I asked future leaders of their views on the current situation, Mr. Lawrence Tirivangani and Achford Manyeza CCC members from Leicester who were concerned about welfare of the opposition youths as Zanu-PF has embarked on abduction sprees and arbitrary arrests of such people. They said the arrests are not getting any publicity as the World is looking at other issues and Zanu-PF is taking advantage of the situation.
I interviewed Basil Kamombe of Peterlee who signalled that the list that was seen recently about top CCC members being on a hitlist is just a tip of iceberg. Basil confirmed what I was thinking and with all the evidence from the past were lists were leaked and most of them have been fulfilled e.g the case of Tonderai Ndira Beta Chokururama, Itayi Dzamara and many more.

PRESS STATEMENT
Date: 27 August 2023
On Wednesday 23 August 2023, under the administration of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), our nation bore witness to an election marred by vote suppression and egregious abuse. The SADC report transparently highlighted these transgressions for the global community.
Despite these overwhelming odds, the resilient Zimbabwean people came forward in vast numbers, casting their votes in hope of a brighter and better future. For the sake of that elder woman who walked 2km and waited in line for two whole days to cast her vote, we will not rollover and accept fictitious lies.
However, tonight, as ZEC declared their results, discrepancies have become glaringly apparent. The outcomes did not align with the evidence from our V11's, a stark deviation that underscores the need for scrutiny. The concerning absence of our presidential candidate's chief election agent's signature casts a shadow of doubt over the entire process. The questionable actions of some ZANU PF officials, who seemingly were privy to results in advance, further tarnish the credibility and transparency of these elections. We fear that this once-respected institution can no longer be depended upon to safeguard our votes and our democracy.
The Election Observer Mission's preliminary report further echoes our concerns, pinpointing significant deviations from both national and international electoral standards. We unequivocally condemn the continued intimidation faced by our agents. Some were unjustly recalled by ZEC with the intent of amending the electoral results, an act that goes against the very essence of a democratic process.
In response to these challenges, the CCC has initiated a comprehensive citizen's review of the vote count. This endeavor is firmly rooted in hard evidence collected from all regions of Zimbabwe. Our grassroots movement, made up of brave volunteers, endures intimidation, harassment, and violence. Yet, our commitment to uncovering the truth remains undeterred. ZEC's recent announcement only serves to galvanize our resolve further.
In due course we will address our nation, illuminating the path forward. Our unwavering allegiance to the millions of Zimbabweans advocating for transformative change is as steadfast as ever. We firmly believe that united, with truth as our compass and justice as our goal, we can and will usher in the change our nation profoundly desires.
In closing. I appeal to all champions of democracy: our quest is noble and just. Let's remain resolute in our collective pursuit. A new chapter in our shared struggle awaits.

"It has been identified in a documentary carried out by Al Jazeera that the Zimbabwean President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, appointed Eubert Angel ( self proclaimed 'businessman' and Prophet who preaches the gospel) as Zimbabwe Ambassador for Europe and America. It has surfaced in the documentary, where there were undercover journalists who purportedly to be from China and wanted gold. The President of Mines; Henrietta Rushwaya ( Emmerson Mnangagwa's niece) and Eubert Angel have been involved in money laundering and smuggling gold out of Zimbabwe to Dubia. There's other nationalities involved in this cartel. As Zimbabweans we strongly believe that all assests in the United Kingdom that belong to Eubert Angel should be frozen, as there's is evidence that they were acquired illegally."
"The people of Zimbabwe are suffering as a result of these acts and they are faced with hardship and live in poverty. Zimbabwe has it's economy collapsed yet it's got enough resources to sustain the nation and create jobs for the masses. The health care lacks equipment, medication and the people to provide care - as health professionals have fled the country in search of better salaries elsewhere in the diaspora. The education system is poor as there are no facilities in schools for children to learn. There are no classrooms, children learn outside under trees sitting on rocks, there's no school furniture, books and all other resources for the teachers to be able to provide the best education for the children of Zimbabwe. The infrastructure is poor and there is no proper sanitation and because of that it has left people falling ill because of waste not being managed adequately."
"The roads are in a terrible condition and lives are lost due to the poor state of the highways as they lack proper servicing and maintenance. There is no clean water and the people are relaying on boreholes that were donated to the community by other Zimbabweans in the diaspora after having heard of the plight faced by fellow Zimbabweans. There's been lives lost due to deaths caused by fire as there is no electricity and people use firewood, gas and candles, paraffin lamps to illuminate in the dark in their homes. All these problems are caused by the government who is involved in gold mafia and money laundering resulting in the country's economy collapsing."
"It is now time for all Zimbabwean all over the world and those who sympathise with us to bring this to an end and we take action by signing a petition that Eubert Angel has to be arrested for the crimes he's committed. The billions that are laundered and gold smuggled can help build back the economy of Zimbabwe."
