In a recent Twitter post, Zimbabwean journalist Hopewell Chin’ono shared a concerning encounter he had just experienced. According to Chin’ono, he had just concluded an interview with a crew from SABCNews when he heard someone shout, “Daddy Hope,” a term of familiarity, with the individual carrying a visible gun in a holster.
Surprisingly, instead of panicking, Chin’ono recognized the person calling his name as a fellow Zimbabwean named Wisdom. This encounter seemed to carry mixed emotions; Wisdom was delighted to see Chin’ono, but there was an undercurrent of sadness concerning the situation back in their home country.
Chin’ono used this moment to highlight what he views as the plight of victims affected by rigged elections in Zimbabwe. He pointed out that these rigged elections, which he claims the ANC (African National Congress) is openly supporting, have had dire consequences. One of these consequences, according to Chin’ono, is a significant immigration crisis in South Africa.
In response to these developments and his concerns about supporting elections that are deemed rigged, Chin’ono announced his intention to appear on SABCNews. During this appearance, he planned to discuss the perceived irresponsibility of endorsing and supporting elections with alleged irregularities, highlighting the impact they have had on Zimbabweans and the immigration crisis in South Africa.
Chin’ono’s tweet sheds light on the challenges faced by Zimbabweans who have sought refuge in other countries due to the political and social situation in their homeland. It also underscores the ongoing discussion and criticism surrounding international support for elections in Zimbabwe and their credibility. His appearance on SABCNews is likely to bring further attention to these issues and spark a broader conversation about the role of neighboring countries in addressing these challenges.
