I. don’t know if you share the same ideology but you are in the same league as Dr Arikana.Well done Zim woman , so proud of you

[@innocentmadanhire2391]

amazing

[@focusexecuteinspire7045]

This a great interview. Petina shares some amazing insights

[@tendai3721]

Brutal honesty!!! I like her.

[@JoeQuansa]

Great interview counsel & very spot on. We just need real commitment to change. Love your novel, "Book of Memory"!

[@mrchigs1979]

Excellent stuff. Petina is just awesome. This is the calibre of people we are in Zimbabwe and in the diaspora but the Government choses not to leverage such human resource by putting political and self interests ahead of developmeng interest. Petina just mesmerised me

[@tsola]

Its still perplexes me how people thought joining the KKK with the intent to "change" it from within was the way to go instead of fighting to remove brand KKK, then starting afresh. So all these GNUs, advisors etc are hypocrites IMO. It's actually insulting to the many victims of ZANUs "lack of empathy" as she puts it. But kudos for seeing your mistake and now distancing yourself. Others, like Mthuli are a pitiful sight

[@itaimutsure3813]

Great job and analysis mainini Petina. Always been intelligent and level headed

[@vchiwade]

Petinah is something else. Brilliant

[@cartwellchirove428]

fantastic and fabulous

[@innocentmadanhire2391]

bring this lady more often

[@webstermupombwa672]

"This is the ONLY Zimbabwe that we have." I like this statement.

[@joeruxtel]

Listening to you cc P, my hope for great Zim have been renewed

[@thabanimaulets]

She truly is national treasure!!

[@aquinabvundura9429]

I'm impressed by your analysis and explanations sister. Hope your advice to authorities will be used in future.

[@talentsibhenge3415]

Great insights... indeed you can not change without a change agent...

[@isaacmutsau1072]

Penah you are so inspiring and I really enjoy your interpretation of what change entails. You should be a third vice president of our country if it could be possible . God bless you

[@lancelotmasunda1803]

Well articulated sstr.

[@wmakombe6472]

Suddenly kutsamwa kwangu kwese against muzvare gappah kwapera. Zimbabwe it really helps kuti titaurirane. Let's talk and help Zimbabwe move forward.

[@tawanatengwana7158]

Great Petinah.

[@tafadzwamusakatiza5440]

You nailed it Petinah and hope your message is going to nock some sense to those people in authority

[@shomwe1]

shes amazing

[@lenardtkufakunesu3392]

National treasure indeed

[@Eton19yb]

A true patriot of the revolution. The vanguard that affirms that the ultimate sacrifice paid by the antagonists of the revolution. This gives me hope that the future of Zimbabwe is bright and in good hands. Answers issues raised in ‘The Chosen Generation’ by Thomas Bvuma available on Amazon. Each generation has a different challenge and it takes people like Petina to push Zimbabwe forward. Aluta continua

[@davedave2103]

Trevor this is one of your best conversations with Pettina please take these opportunities to interrogate accountability in some respect to your influential guests many thank.

[@lenardtkufakunesu3392]

Petina you are amazing.

[@naisonmagonyo8509]

[@african263]

Amazing woman indeed#national treasure. thanks, Trevor keep on doing these good things

[@shepherdziso4797]

well done Trevor, doing a good job

[@MsEmworld]

Minutes 15:13 "The Mugabe big man syndrome!"😁😅 I love that Mr Ncube is not uncomfortable from Ms. Gappas " heart sourced" sentiments!👏

[@mosstheboss287]

Thank you Petina, 'In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act' George Orwell.

[@siyabongatinosibanda9562]

On point

[@MalawiPage]

This woman is a leader, she can change Zimbabwe for the best, it all depends on the Zimbanweans.

[@thugga3729]

A year late but totally worth it !!!!!

[@Allthingsluxury12]

Can you please bring on Tsitsi Dangarembga as well Trevor

[@justicemsindozulu3666]

I keep on asking myself what is it that a country with such vast mineral wealth and brilliant people like this one continue to punch below it's belly, I never knew of this woman before but listening to her conversation she is poised for greater things ,combine her with all other technocrats which Zimbabwe had, God must smile upon us so that this Nation goes back to where it belongs, many countries around the world have benefitted a lot from sons and daughters of this land ,she truly speaks her mind freely ,why do we still have one Tv station really it's bad.

[@tendaitomu2126]

We need more Petinas

[@Allthingsluxury12]

Petina whats the title of that book by Professor Lovell

[@mswatilicious]

@10:15 Trevor poses a rather shallow question. The narrative that the leader is benevolent while his minions are mischievous makes no sense especially given modern Zimbabwe's history. Mnangagwa cannot be the genius leader when some policy bears fruit and the unsighted victim when others fail. Try again Trevor.

Trying to smuggle the 3rd force

[@Keith0909Maya]

@@tenmo1987You smuggled something in your comment 🤣🤣🤣

[@Keith0909Maya]

You are on your own. Carry on

Maybe it needed to be said so that someone who has worked in the system can bury it once and for all

[@rooy2729]

Amai vane chokwadi chakawanda ava, this frankness is what our leaders don't like to hear

[@stevenmayawo6612]

She is a gem and we have a lot like her around the world, but there’s no chance coz of old wood that will die on positions, zim is not ready and zim is not open for business, sad

[@valchindove3557]

Listening to you just gave me hope about zim. Im impressed. Nothing partisan but purely facts

[@nicholasmushayi1923]

this lady is making sense, l would want her in the Gvt

She is/was in the Chunhu Chedu junta, buddy.

Minutes 8:43-9:03 ? I want what people can do for my existance, BUT I am not willing to change anything about me, to accomodate THEM!

[@giftmakayi7671]

Thanks Petina for highlighting the weaknesses of the current government in terms of policy inconsistencies and communications. However I don't think you are correct when you say, "The government of Zimbabwe was at its best during the cyclone idai" . There are lots of lies that were reported during that time and most people failed to get help because of the incorrect report by government.

[@mlamulimakhula3189]

The lady is fresh in mind

[@tmachinga]

Our nation suffers from a serious lack of empathy, most probably caused by long term economic pollution.

[@admiresakala8236]

madam i respect you. didn't know women can be such straight talkers

[@jaychirandu346]

Check Petina's utterances during the months leading to the coup, the coup days & the period after. She was quite vocal in support of the most committed members of the Mugabe-era despotism. Her support had nothing to do with hopes for a peaceful and socially just nation. Raw tribalism drove Petina. Her descent into primitive tribalism was stunning. She was unapologetic about it, just as she is on this sickening interview. Petina is an egomaniac, and a deadly one at that, so much so that she prefers blame apportionment to everyone to accepting she played a part in the coup that has ushered in a frightening epoch of brazen atrocities and an insidious genocide. That there are presumably educated people slobbering over this charlatan is testament to the level of deadly amnesia that has descended upon Zimbabwe like a plague of locusts bringing guaranteed death. We are a forgetful people. It is the genesis of our own demise. If we cannot remember the recent past, we are doomed to be played for fools by fast-talking tricksters like Putschist Petina over and over again. They can foment, support and engage in genocides with the same impunity evident in Petina's chatter in this interview. A forgetful people hold no one to account. It is much worse than this when we end up forgetful and reflexive praise singers.

[@tawandamarozva9466]

Munangagwa is not ready to connect with the people of Zimbabwe..we cant expect him to leave the Big Man Mugabe syndrome when he adored Muagbe for more than 40years

[@MsEmworld]

"Propaganda is sophisticated manipulation of information". Highly dependant on the sophistication of the "medium" used to convey the lie.

[@martinmunyama6974]

Petina you can be my President anytime. I love you . Breath of fresh air. Are you married hmm kkkk

[@musmas1733]

She cant be. She s too busy.

[@bensnrtsikwa2727]

Petina used to be my model but disappointed me when she joined elections riggers ..... but that she is now not connected to Ed and saying sense here I hope I can like her.

[@stephenchisadza4975]

I think Mr Mnangagwa had no experience of good governance. He has never worked in an empathetic government. All he knows is Mugabeism and the culture associated with it. He is incapable of imagining a different Presicency. The mid-term review is another example of poor public administration. If "Jobs jobs jobs" was the desired output, then activites that would result in job creation need to be identified. She spoke about communication and having an open society. There can be different ones identified for each sector (eg. energy, transport, health, defence and security, education, trade and industry, international relations, environment, etc). This way each Ministry is, clearly linked to the overall short-term and long-term development goals (eg. 2030). After two years progress in each sector can be reviewed versus the goals. Whay has International Relations done to market Zim? How have health outcomes improved? Are doctors performing and adequately remunerated? How have education out comes improved? Are teachers performing and adequately rewarded? etc. Budget allocations can also be set in advance to indicate priorities and performance against budget reviewed every 2-3 years.

[@arnomanjonjo]

Are you married Petinah?

[@musmas1733]

She can't be. She is too busy.

[@elsonshumba5209]

systematical dysfunctional government

Another piece of propaganda fluently delivered.
