#TuesdayLetter 7/9/21 Dear Everyone, 1/24 WHAT'S GOING ON? This is the question I have been asked over the last few days, and especially since las Friday, through DMs, chats, calls & even in these streets.
2/24 The point by @glenmpani was that Zimbabweans seeking change:
*Want out/can't join ZanuPF. *Find MDC Chamisa disorganized, intolerant, immature & unstrategic. *Think it's suicidal to be independent or to form a party.
3/24 ALAS, @glenmpani's tweet & my rejoinder torched a storm, with a torrent of abuse from some MDC-A rank and file. The worst for me was an MDC-A leader who angrily told a mutual colleague that I should have shared my rejoinder with him before tweeting it. No academic does that!
4/24 THE INTOLERANT and abusive response showed that both @glenmpani's intervention and my rejoinder had been badly misunderstood by our friends. In the interest of promoting mutual understanding, I did this ??thread to share the reasons for our ARGUMENT!https://t.co/avgGS4PIJB
5/24 MY SECOND THREAD made a bad situation worse. Our attackers doubled down and multiplied; as Mnangagwa's #varakashi understandably but unfortunately jumped in to like and retweet the attacks to MULTIPLY & AMPLIFY the NOISE from our MDC-A attackers, for maximum negative impact!
