"This is Addis Ababa tongint. As I always do for you whenever I travel across Africa I recorded this short video from the restaurant where I had dinner before heading back to my hotel. I was last in Ethiopia in 2017 and the amount of development that has taken place since then is astounding. It is inspiring to see African countries developing at such an impressive pace. One wonders when leaders like Mnangagwa come here for Africa Union meetings do they not drive around and see that being African does not necessarily mean living amid sewage and driving on potholed roads The difference is not"

"I saw this in Addis last night KKFC truly unique indeed A clever local parody of KFC. Ethiopia never ceases to amaze me with its creativity and sense of humour. Addis Ababa has a thriving street-level creativity scene where entrepreneurs play with well-known global brands to make their own mark. In many African countries people create humorous or imitation brands that resemble famous global names but with a twist to localise or avoid trademark restrictions. What funny imitations do you have in your own country"

"This handwritten horrible agreement is a grotesque mockery of justice and a reflection of how broken Zimbabwes governance has become. It reduces the killing of a Zimbabwean man Fungai Nkata by a Chinese national to the value of cattle and a few hundred dollars turning a human life into a crude financial transaction. The sad thing is that a local Chief who is supposed to protect his people is taking part in this madness Such an arrangement has no legal standing; homicide cases belong in a court of law not in a village negotiation that trades justice for silence. The involvement of a"

"I already miss Africa. It is wet cold and gloomy here in England. You begin to understand why Cecil John Rhodes ran away from these grey isles in search of better weather and of course easy loot. The irony is painful. Today Africans are the ones running away from their own continent not in search of conquest but of jobs and a better life. It all comes down to one thing leadership. When vision and integrity collapse even paradise becomes a prison and those who should be building it are forced to flee it"

"I am deeply saddened by the tragic accident that has claimed the lives of XX Zimbabweans and Malawians in South Africa. Many of these people were on that bus in pursuit of a livelihood working tirelessly to provide for their families. This makes their passing even more painful not only for us as fellow citizens but especially for their loved ones who depended on them. I urge both the Zimbabwean and Malawian governments to take full responsibility for the repatriation of their remains and to cover the costs of their funerals. It is the least act of dignity and compassion that these two"

"Corruption has been at the heart of Zimbabwes collapse for decades and every member of the ZANUPF leadership is entangled in it. Operation Restore Legacy the name given to the 2017 coup was merely a deceptive ploy to remove Robert Mugabe under the guise of fighting corruption. I once told Morgan Tsvangirai that his greatest mistake was failing to demand written concessions during his negotiations that led to the opposition supporting the coup which is how I came to know that he was in talks with Mnangagwa/Chiwengas teams with Chamisa serving as the emissary. Today Zimbabwe has come full"

"I am terribly saddened to hear of the passing of neo-soul Grammy Award-winning music superstar DAngelo. My friend Rufus Mauluka first introduced me to his music in the 1990s when I was a university student in London and I immediately fell in love with his sound. My favourite songs from his repertoire were Brown Sugar and his soulful remake of Smokey Robinsons 1979 classic Cruisin. His music known as neo-soul beautifully blended R&B jazz and hip-hop creating a timeless sound that defined an era and influenced a generation of artists. May his soul rest in eternal peace. His music will live on"

"Zimbabweans have been urged to take to the streets on Friday in protest against President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his allies by war veteran Blessed Geza who is reportedly aligned with Vice President General Constantino Chiwenga. My view is that unless the army and its soldiers themselves take to the streets there will be no protest at all. Zimbabweans still carry the dark memories of what happened on the 1st of August 2018 when unarmed citizens were gunned down by the military using live ammunition. I remember saying at the time that this brutal act would have long-term repercussions until"

"When stupidity stands in front of a camera it becomes even louder. These days it seems that when people fail in school or fail to succeed professionally they turn to xenophobia as their last resort hoping it will take them to Parliament. What a shame that ignorance has become a political strategy. First they started off targeting so-called illegal foreigners which is fine because illegal immigration is not right. But now they have shifted to attacking people who are in South Africa legally including some who are actually South African. When you do not understand how things are interconnected"

"Good morning Lynn @LynneStactia. Thank you for reaching out with this tweet. I have never had anything against you personally. Our differences were always about how we saw things not about who we were as individuals. When I was questioning the opposition for lacking a constitution and proper structures we disagreed but you took it to another level through insults and that is why I decided to block you. Today as Zimbabweans we find ourselves at a crossroads where we must unite around ideas not factions or personalities something that caused us to block each other. I have always said that"

"I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Raila Odinga the Kenyan politician who dedicated decades of his life to the struggle for democracy and justice. Like all leaders he made mistakes along the way but his enduring legacy will be that of a man who fought relentlessly for human rights democratic governance and a better Kenya and by extension a better Africa.

"This is one important thing that some of my South African friends often miss the interconnectedness between ZANU-PF elites and ANC elites. It explains many of the decisions made by the ANC regarding Zimbabwe. When an ANC vice-presidents daughter gives US$50000 to ZANUPF it shows how deeply intertwined these political relationships are. Let us assume for arguments sake that the vice-president were still alive. It would be difficult for him to take a principled stand or make a decision in South Africas national interest if that decision risked damaging his personal or business ties with ZANUPF."
