Simba Chitando said that the state did not engage us and they had no resources. Let me draw your attention to a ZASM meet that we had and a CIO operative who worked as part of the external intelligence component and a monitor in ZASM: Wonder Ndemera said in...

#WATCH | Chandigarh | Jaswinder Kaur Bath, wife of Colonel Pushpinder Singh Bath, who was allegedly assaulted by Punjab Police personnel in Patiala, says, "We went to meet DGP Gaurav Yadav, but he was busy. We waited for one and a half hours, but then he left without meeting us. He is an army officer's son, but he still did so... I am raising my voice just because my son said that he would not stay in this country as it is not worth staying. I had to prove to him that justice would be given... Then, we went to meet the governor, and he had tears in his eyes when I spoke to him and when I showed him the pictures and the brutality. He called the DGP and told him that FIR is my right with all the names and to please do what is needed. The governor then told us that if the FIR is not registered, we should get back to him. I want to thank the governor for standing up with us. I came to know through the media that SSP Nanak Singh had said that a magisterial inquiry had been set up, but the FIR could not be changed... Today, when everyone was standing up with me, all the politicians started calling me, but I didn't pick up a single call as this was not a political fight. They cannot say that we were under the influence of alcohol as it is there in the (medical) report of a government hospital... A police inspector told me that we cannot add the names of some police personnel in the FIR as they have been awarded as encounter specialists by the DIG and are about to be promoted. They said that police will do the needful but cannot name them in FIR ..." (21/03)

The video statement by Simba Chitando, co-director of the Zimbabwe Anti-Sanctions Movement (ZASM), deserves careful scrutiny - because if his assertions are accurate, they raise a far more damaging question than the one currently dominating public debate. They raise the question of whether Rutendo Matinyarare has been operating not as an activist, but as an extortionist and political communications mercenary who has now successfully collected. Chitando was not a peripheral figure. He was ZASM's legal strategist and co-director - inside the organisation, present for its decisions, party to its finances. His testimony carries weight precisely because of that proximity. Several facts emerge from his statement that cannot be easily dismissed. The Government of Zimbabwe declined to fund ZASM. That single detail collapses the foundational claim that Matinyarare was executing a state-commissioned mandate deserving state-level compensation. Anti-sanctions advocacy in Zimbabwe has never belonged to one organisation - parties, churches, diplomats, academics, traditional leaders, and ordinary citizens have all participated for years. Government had no particular reason to single out ZASM, and it did not. ZASM sought and received support from private donors, including Dr. Kuda Tagwirei, who covered organisational expenses, legal liabilities, and logistical costs. Chitando states categorically that neither ZASM nor its directors are owed anything by Tagwirei or anyone else. The organisation is effectively dormant - no longer litigating, its legal challenge withdrawn, pending deregistration in South Africa. Most significantly, Chitando reveals that additional funding and a vehicle were recently channelled through Matinyarare without his knowledge - despite his being a co-director of the same organisation. That detail is the thread that unravels everything. If previous expenses were already settled, nothing was owed, and the co-director knew nothing about the transaction, then what exactly was being compensated? Why did it require a publicised gifting spectacle rather than a quiet institutional arrangement? The gifter's own argument answers that question - and in answering it, destroys itself. The claim now being advanced is that the gift was necessary to encourage Matinyarare to cease his attacks on the highest office in the land. Set against Chitando's testimony that nothing was owed, that argument does not become an explanation. It becomes a confession. You do not pay someone to stop attacking you unless they have made it clear that continued silence carries a price. That is not gratitude. That is not recognition. That has a much simpler name: extortion. And the person who pays an extortionist does not resolve a problem. They establish a rate. Here is where Matinyarare's own well-documented habits become impossible to separate from the analysis. He is notorious for recording conversations with virtually everyone he engages - politicians, officials, businesspeople, fellow activists. In his trade, that is not due diligence. That is inventory. A man who systematically builds an archive of sensitive recorded material across years, then converts public pressure into tangible assets, has not stumbled into a business model. He has refined one. The gift confirms that the model works. Which raises the question that no one paying attention can honestly avoid: what guarantee exists that this ends here? History is unambiguous on this point. Extortion does not conclude with the first payment. It scales with proof of concept. What assurance does anyone have - the gifter, the institution, the office apparently being threatened - that the cameras will not return, that the social media pressure will not resume, that the recorded archive will not find new applications the moment a new grievance is manufactured or an old one is reframed? The answer is none. There is no assurance. There is only the next negotiation, now better informed by the knowledge of exactly what pressure yields results. What makes this particularly corrosive is that it did not have to be public. Zimbabwe has institutions - political, governmental, security - entirely capable of managing sensitive matters involving proximity to the highest office with discretion, through proper channels, without cameras and without luxury assets becoming social media content. The decision to make this spectacularly public was either a catastrophic miscalculation or a deliberate signal. Neither interpretation reflects well on the judgment of those involved. Chitando's testimony has done something that the weeks of online noise failed to do. It has stripped away the activist framing and forced a clear-eyed look at the underlying mechanics. What those mechanics reveal is a political communications mercenary who identified a pressure point, cultivated it over years, recorded everything along the way as operational collateral, applied sustained public pressure against the highest office in the land, and collected - publicly, luxuriously, and on camera. The only remaining questions are who allowed this to reach this point, whether those responsible for protecting the integrity of Zimbabwe's highest office fully understand what they have now set in motion, and whether the rate has already been noted by others watching carefully from the sidelines. Because if it has, the Matinyarare affair is not a conclusion. It is a template.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: "To me, it's [JFK's] most important speech. It's one of the most important speeches in American history; the thing that he did that was so unusual in that speech is he talked to the American people and asked them to put themselves in the shoes of the Russians..." "The zeitgeist of our era was that America had won the war and now we were going to rightfully dominate the peace. And he said something very, very different to Americans that challenged that patriotic assumption: He said, no, it was actually the Russians who won the war. They weakened Hitler and made it possible for us to march into Berlin." "And he talked about the suffering of the Russians during the war and to legitimize their security concerns, which nobody was doing... what he was saying to the Americans is, no, they have legitimate security concerns the same as we do, and we need to understand those things." "And he reminded Americans of the suffering that the Russians had endured, unimaginable suffering. One in seven Russians had been killed during World War II. He asked Americans to imagine that all of the land, all of the cities, all of the towns from the East Coast to Chicago had been leveled to rubble, that the forests and fields had been burned. And he said that's what happened to Russia during the war. That's what they sacrificed for us, and they have legitimate security concerns to make sure that never happens again..." "I'm speaking you today because the world is once again at a very similar crossroads. As in my uncle's time, nuclear tensions are at an extreme and dangerous level. As in his time, we have a unique opportunity not only to diffuse those tensions, but to take a radically different path, a path towards peace."
