In this article, I explain why I chose dialogue over confrontation regarding CAB3. After publicly opposing the Bill on constitutional and personal grounds, my concerns were heard by the Presidency, Parliament, and the judiciary, leading to direct engagement with the seat of power. I argue that meaningful influence is achieved not by shouting from the sidelines, but by securing access to decision-makers and using that access to advance national interests and constitutional con

This article argues that CAB3 is losing momentum due to declining support within key institutions, growing resistance to constitutional changes, and shifting political alliances ahead of Zimbabwe's succession battle. It examines the role of the Parallel Cabinet, patronage networks, military influence, and the struggle for power beyond President Mnangagwa's tenure. The analysis explores why some believe the future of Zimbabwean politics may lie beyond CAB3 and its architects.

Zimbabweans are still recovering from seeing Kuda Tagwirei’s US$6.5 million fleet of cars, not realising that absent from the display was a custom Wraith and Cullinan, which would have taken the spectacle to US$8 million. Interesting for me is that most of those cars were bought in the last four years since the President got his son Junior to commission us to work with Kuda to fight sanctions. In those four years, Kuda gave ZASM a fraction of the cost of just one of his Merce
