Zimbabwe is bracing for what has been dubbed an 'uprising' as liberation war veterans are rallying ordinary Zimbabweans to join TOMORROW's protests in their push to oust President Emmerson Mnangagwa. The former freedom fighters, who are backing Mnagagwa's deputy, Constantino Chiwenga to take over, feel that the president has reneged on his promises and presided over a struggling economy characterised by massive corruption, nepotism, cronyism and organised looting of the fiscus. With only three years before the expiry of his last constitutional term of office, Mnangagwa's loyalists are also campaigning for the Zanu-PF leader to remain in office beyond 2028. Riled by this campaigning, ex-combatants led by Blessed Geza – a former MP, have called for the countrywide uprising. The events are echoing a repeat of 2017 that led to the ousting of Robert Mugabe, led by Chiwenga, who was then the country's military chief. To discuss this Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Ricky Mukonza, Associate Professor of Public Affairs at Tshwane University of Technology

Agent: "Good question!  While that might seem like a good idea, working with multiple Realtors simultaneously is like trying to drive two cars at once – it's not practical, creates confusion, and won't get you to your destination.   Countrywide, buyer agreements are now standard practice among brokers. Any other buyer's agent you consider working with will also require the exclusive agreement, so it's not just to work with me.   The agreement ensures clarity and accountability in our relationship, allowing me to fully commit my time and expertise to serving your needs effectively.  An agent or broker who doesn't ask for your signature is practicing unethically and is out of compliance with what's required.  It just makes sense to solidify our commitment to each other."
