1.CHASI Story : This thread is not meant to portray @fortunechasi as a saint but his story works as a perfect case study that clearly exposes the politics of patronage that has claimed the head of arguably the best performing minister
2.Chasi was elected as MP for Mazoe S in 2013 & was appointed D.Minister of Legal affairs by http://RGM.In  2014 ,he clashed with Kazingizi - senior military officer who attempted to push out people from Bloomfield Farm & he successfully blocked the illegal eviction.
http://3.In  2014,Chasi clashed with Grace Mugabe after fighting on the side of the poor families that were being pushed out of Manzou game park by Grace who wanted to build a ‘private university’ on the land.
Just like the Biblical Herodias who forced Herode to behead John the baptist,Grace cornered RG to fire Chasi from his Deputy Ministerial post in 2014.
4.After sacking Chasi, Grace ended up grabbing both the Manzou park and Mazoe dam.She even deployed soldiers to guard the dam for her.Where is she now?This shld work as a reminder for those in power that power is never permanent.
http://5.Fast  forward to 2018,Chasi was appointed as D.Minister in the Transport ministry which was being headed by Matiza.Chasi outshined his boss with his hands-on approach & became the darling of the people on social media
This created some friction with Matiza. @fortunechasi even threatened non-performing road construction contractors wc however ddnt please mashefu.ko vanozvipa matender ka. In early 2019,ED fired Jorum Gumbo & Chasi was promoted to become the minister of Energy.
6.The ministry had a lot of mess that needed a minister of his calibre.Pple expected him to address the fuel crises,ZPC Chivayo scandals,ZESA tender scandals and many other issues.Many people still feel he didn’t do much but u hv to understand the background.mirai kutaurisa
All the scandals that appear on the newspaper front pages doesnt benefit the faces in the articles ONLY.There are some BIG guys who use these sacrificial lambs to milk from state enterprises.
7.Chasi's woes started when he hesitated to approve the reappontment of chameleonic Gata who had been fired twice by the same entity as the chairperson of ZESA but he cldn't resist an order from the CIC.He was a minister without ministerial powers.Haasi ega,vese mazita bedzi
He was a ceremonial minister.The boss’ boys are planted all over the state entities in the energy sector & they report directly to the big Boss.
8.Some may ask why the bosses are so concerned abt the ZESA issues.ZESA is by far the biggest state entity in terms of annual revenues.Its one of those entities that oils the party during election time.All the senior posts are given to war vets,ex-military or politically -
connected people who in most cases lack the basic skills required to keep the company running.When Gata joined again as chairman , he extended the contracts of the old madalas who were due to retire.vanoda kupinda muzana vari pabasa
9.The sacking didn’t come to @fortunechasi as a suprise.He saw it coming but he had no option.Being appointed on a ZANU PF post is like kuromba chikwambo.Once you have it , you can’t run away from it.Its an incorrigible sin to resign in ZANU PF.Bvunzai @DrNkosana
@DrNkosana fled to South Africa before faxing his resignation letter from his cabinet position.He did this to avoid confrontation with RGM on his resignation. ZANU is known to humiliate and politically and economically isolate individuals that oppose its corrupt policies
10.The system promotes the corrupt and demotes those that fight corruption.They always say Zim is open for business.Which business?Jailing those that fight for the poor,sick and vulnerable? #chasi #ZimbabaweanLivesMatter #TinodaRusununguko
