I will make my own documentaries,I want to see if any one of them will be nominated for their Oscar…
Documentary about Slavery in Africa,
Documentary about Colonialism in Africa,
Documentary about the African Liberation Struggle,
Documentary about the Western imposed Economic Sanctions imposed on Harare,
Documentary about the Western backed War that Toppled Gaddafi in Libya,
Documentary about the Western backed Boko Haram in Nigeria,
Documentary about the Western backed War in Ethiopia!
Will any of the above documentaries be nominated for Oscar? Never! Why?
Coz Oscar is not an award from Africa but it is ‘their’ award!
Kujutwa ,anodaro Mdara Wangu Nehanda.
Jeremiah Munemo kana usingazive wadii hako kungonyarara
Jeremiah Munemo dofo iwe, idya ne Zanu wakanyarara, and remember to start by writing a documentary about Gukurahundi,2008 short n long sleeve,, and the Coup not coup too,
Kkkkkkkkkk “coup not coup”. Yah this Africa.
Jeremiah Munemo Gukurahundi documentary warisiya wani and documentary on Stolen elections in Africa. I was reading an article on Liberia . In 1947 they had elections and 39 000 were registered to vote and were on the voter’s roll but the then President won the election by 234 000 votes. You have headstart for your documentary. This will win you an Oscar Award
Yes,I can write the documentary about Gukurahundi making sure I will not view both Sides of the Coin.Can you tell me any conflict in Africa that is not secretly supported by the West? On Elections in Africa I will talk about the foreign interference in African politics.Where is Democracy if the West is secretly pumping billions of monies sponsoring political parties instead of developing Africa.What is Oscar? Is it not a piece of paper accompanied with biblical Judas Iscariot’s thirty Silver pieces?
Jeremiah Munemo dzungu haribhadhare wangu
Ko inganzi imhosva here kutaura maonero angu? Dzungu rangu riripapi nhai Ottis?
Jeremiah Munemo Sorry .If an Oscar is just a useless piece of paper sponsored by the West then why are you saying kujutwa . Nani nhai mzkuru waNehanda. Zveku West munozvidawo nhai. Mukasazviwana mobva mati majutwa. Munongogadzirawo yenyu award mongoiti Nehanda Award. By the way urikunyora uchiti mdara Nehanada . Sorry mdara ndiSekuru Kaguvi then mbuya ndivo Nehanda Nyakasikana. Proudly Zimbabwean
Brother Jon,Sorry it is my mistake.My Old Facebook Account was locked by Facebook.I was having a friend by the name ‘Nehanda Kaguvi Chaminuka’.He is the one who was using this Signature ‘Kujutwa!’.
Azvirevi Zveku West atizvidi.See! It is a must for the West to help develop Africa coz the West is what it is today coz of the sweat of our African Forefathers.Is the West not benefiting from exploiting Africa? See! What are African treasures still doing in Greater Nations Museums? When are they going to return back the African treasures they stole from Africa? You talk of Oscar? I asked you what is Oscar? Who was Oscar? Why can’t Africans unite en create their own African awards? The documentary is a documentary that pleases the West , that’s why the Oscar Award…A useless piece of paper accompanied with thirty ‘Judas Iscariot’ Silver pieces!… Africa must create her own ‘Oscar’ African Awards!
Make them wangu
Our Children Will do that Mkoma Benji Maan.
Jeremiah Munemo will support you not uyu wekutora power Morgan arimunyoro
Jeremiah Munemo Documentary about rampant corruption would win the award not just nomination am sure you deliberately left it on that list of yours.
Jeremiah Munemo just keep quiet n go farming its raining season just no slavery was better than wats going on now under Zanu pf. Our fathers n mother’s where payed enough salary under British ( Smith)
Jeremiah Munemo Jeremiah the bottom line taakuda zvimwe zvisiri zanu, , rd construction , 2nd republic, development, mega deals , fighting sanctions e.t.c , povo tirikungoti itai muende , we want to exercise our freedom to choose zvatirikuda – uvaudze kuti ngavasanetse herald kushambadza development – taiwona but chirovai pasi
Don’t worry Gary. He is just a brainwashed kid who was taught that Nehanda Nyakasikana is a man and yet sh is a woman..He can’t tell the difference between a man and a woman. Neither does he know that his President came back from Scotland very very happy that he had met Joe Biden a white US President and was equally overjoyed when he met a white Boris Johnson of Britain. A black President excited to meet a white man ! Sies. Wake up Jeremiah. Don’t believe in everything you hear on radio or TV. . Have an analytical mind. Be your own man. Don’t bark on behalf of others that are busy eating . You will go hungry
Jon Russell wise words
Inzwaiwo uyu aaa
Jeremiah Munemo we as Africans we can not create anything because we don’t think for others too much corruption
Jeremiah Munemo wapedza
Jeremiah Munemo make them mkoma you’ll definitely scoop those awards trust me
Jeremiah Munemo your mind is very backward you talk about colonialism this is a different generation. Think about the rampant corruption and mismanagement of the economy kwete kutaura zve colonialism
Jeremiah Munemo Documentary of the Chinese colonising Africa after their independence and looting but never developing anything.
Gamuchirai Matongo have you ever given yourself time and analysed who is backing all the corrupt activities happening around Africa the west is the funder of all misfortunes in the world in the name of peace and stability . Just imagine if Africa wipes out corruption and practise good governance who will stand out to lose and be the poorest in the world. The west is just taking advantage on the African leaders because of might and power

We are not suprised. Every sellout across the world is given one of these racist awards by neo colonialists.
It’s a well done for destroying your own people
Murakashi Mukuru If you rig your way in to power does not make you a patriotic, it makes you more like the devil
Think about it, the devil is still undefeated to this day. He was there during Adam and Eve. Still here despite all the religions and whatever else.
George chiparam what rigging? The issue was contested in an open constitutional court and broadcast. The alliance failed to produce NOT EVEN 1 supposed messed up v11. 2ndly, when asked to be given the opportunity to recount the ballots, alliance team refused. Why? Because they wanted to push a narrative of a rigged election to their slave drivers. Pure fuckery that.
Murakashi Mukuru ndopano tangira huroyi mambo marwadziwa nedocumentary koo akatonga munofa kaaa
Achatonga mumba mako. It’s propaganda bs and we are wise to know that
Murakashi Mukuru heal
Murakashi Mukuru kkkk Mwari hadakwi murakashi kudenga kwavakuzo davira minamato yedu zvimushonga dzenyu dzava kupera basa sit back relax and let mother nature take course moporaa baba pakugwaraa kwenyu tichakunamatirai
Maroto echando 😂😂😂😂😂 aitei chamisa that deserved honour ?
Marian Mutanda Thandiwe Newton ndiye anzi angango puhwa award not Chimisa

Kkkkkk haaa vanhu havaverengi maposts vakomana or else mavharwa nechirungu.
Welldone
Who is this Kid Nelson Chamisa?, Siyintanga but if the West is involved in our Affairs,I believe we need to revolutionide further
Stratford Van Heerden its not the west Thandiwe Newton is born of a Zimbabwean parent not everything is about politics bra
James Moyo , but can you imagine if this young man ever won , which I pray he does one day soon!
The promises to those making it happen, Shem!
Stratford Van Heerden this guy was recruited by Tsvangirai he’s been with the party for a very longtime and in Africa its high time we young people where given a chance to change the situation and from my point of view l doubt he will not deliver but eey its politics after all
Stratford Van Heerden kid? Yet u clap hands ana Obert Mpofu vachiti vakaenda kuhondo vari vana
Sailodia Matabvu , I have no problem with Nelson, I just think their hoping a miracle will remove ZANU PF, or interference from external sources will do the trick!
ZANU PF needs the same medicine 👁️🛠️
Western propaganda tools. Fk off
Oscar for what he’s doing nothing
Paul Chimwere The Oscar is not for Chamisa but for the good workmanship of Thandiwe . It just saying the documentary was produced to a great standard.
Paul Chimwere ukarwadziwa naChsmisa haupore
Tikuivhiya musipo
the peoples president
Even Hitler and Mussolini and Lenin have documentaries about them. What has he done in such a short time that he has a film about him. Real revolutionaries like Chitepo..Tongogara…Sithole…Mugabe…Joshua Nkomo…Jiri…the list goes have no such films. He must be the darling of the west. He is thier investment project.
Shepherd Nyathi Thandiwe Newton is half Zimbabwean. Her father is from Zimbabwe l think . Thats why she made the documentary, l dont think it had anything to do with the West.
Shepherd Nyathi The list was fine up until you listed Mugabe kkkk
James Moyo 😂😂😂😂 he played his party too during the liberation war. We can’t erase that part of history even he messed up during his last years as a president.
Elina Liddle even though why this boy who hasn’t done anything for Zimbabwe…why not Tsvangirai?
Shepherd Nyathi he manipulated history l personally respect him but l don’t recognise him as part of the liberation struggle because he never had a real agenda only pushing for his stomach and pocket we as civilians later realised it at a later stage
Kkkkkk apa ndepe mawar vets regai tisane napoo
Ryan Kanogwere 😂😂😂😂
James Moyo you are right. Even with his manipulative flaws he is part of our long history of liberation.
Shepherd Nyathi you are free to write documentaries on all the people you listed.We’re waiting to see you do that 🤣🤣
Possenti Mkumbuzi give me the money for production and I will tell our story.
Documentaries are made in different angles. He can be a month in politics but ane something che interest kuti ayite that Documentary 🤔
Shaz tirikufamba nenguva. Thandie Newton is half Zimbabwean. This is big. Iwe wacho do films about the people you mentioned. Hautorina kana plan. Thandie Newton is trying her darnest to highlight injustice irikuitwa as we speak. Congratulate her efforts and then shut up.
Shepherd Nyathi Nyathi Nyathi Nyathi 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Shepherd Nyathi sour grapes
If it were ED documentary yaitoitwa gala
Edzai Caro why should I shut up. Just like you I have a right to say what I think. If you don’t agree with me just move on. You not the Facebook principal. Am not intimidated by wannabe social media bullies. You do that at your house….that is if you have one.
Gamuchirai Matongo what has ED got to do with it. I didn’t even mention him among the revolutionaries. Which should tell you about my views about him.
Shepherd Nyathi Just shut up please ☺️
Edzai Caro if you have nothing to say just get off. Gonzo rema sewage.
U and Satan u are brothers l am sure
Shepherd NyathiShepherd NyathiNyathi its not a matter oh how long Chamisa had been in politics. Its his impact in Zim politics. After all anyone can have a documentary, its not about the ..PFs only
Edzai Caro he was going to congratulate her if it was a documentary on one of the zanus
Allen Chinhengo who said it’s about zanu? Was Tsvangurai zanu…or Nkomo or Sithole? What impact did he have that is greater than Tsvangirai?
Allen Chinhengo Taura hako. Shepherd Nyathi ane big time dzungu. 🤣🤣🤣
Oscar award bias to push USA narrative
Terrence Murenge are they awarding Chamisa or the documentary mkoma?
Reston Ressy did I say anything about Chamisa?
Terrence Murenge oh chamisa is an american..I didn’t know. U are very intelligent to tell fools like us that….
But of course u are either stupid or drinking from same cup with oppressors
Eric Mhlanga so when one says USA narrative you only think about Chamisa why….. I didn’t even mansion Chamisa on my statement maybe you started to follow these Oscar awards now that is why you can’t understand what I am talking about.
Nicodemus achiri kure chaiko
An intelligent, resilient young man indeed, with our country at heart. They are trying their best to discredit your vision to equalize the political play field. Zim is More yours than those who hate you man.
Henry Tinovatenda Deka kkkkk king chamisa akadhakwa ngati daidze muhondo tirirwe nyika irimumaoko eva vengi
Tafadzwa Munyati tongomudira Kuva mudiki bedzi.. usadherera vechidiki.

Charles Dube everyone in the world loves whats happening in Zim

Wow congrats
What has he done? Ed deserves to win 1
Nyasha Ernest Matanda what has ED done 95% unemployment rate you still have the guts to say pamperi ne Zanupf…
It’s a shame …
Charles Dube If you cant see what Ed has done thats fine but Chamisa has been opposing and nothing else
Nyasha Ernest Matanda just tell ED to implement political reforms , human rights and the rule of law…..
We will talk after that ….
I have seen what Ed have done he has sold the country to the Chinese, his looting and killing opposition supporters….
Charles Dube If you were to bring solid evidence of your claims i’d be on your side. If you follow USA news media outlets you will still find that Biden has people like you oppossing day in and day out. Believe it or not all the Presidents on this earth are all killers none of them dont have blood on their hands
I’m not going to waist my time trying to convince you….
You are a hard core zanupf supporter you depend on zanupf propaganda there’s nothing l can say that can change your mind…
Me l want opportunity for everyone not for zanupf supporters only like you….
Charles Dube all good
ED is a moron, Documentary for what,for killing innocent civilians
