RBZ basher...Advocate Fadzayi Mahere
Fadzai Mahere | There will be no ‘Arab Spring’ in Zimbabwe, so the argument goes.
The citizens of Zimbabwe are not looking for an ‘Arab Spring’. We aren’t asking the UN Security Council to use military intervention to change our government as happened in Lybia. We aren’t seeking an overthrow of government as occurred in Egypt. We don’t want want the nation to descend into civil war like Syria.
We want a ‘Zimbabwean Spring’ where sustainable change is brought about by peaceful protest, where the voice of the citizens is heard, where the Constitution is fully observed in terms of how any election takes place and where the Bill of Rights is respected by the authorities and no reprisals are meted out against citizens for desiring a better Zimbabwe. We aren’t asking for foreign intervention or assistance – we insist on full ownership and agency over this process.

 It is not unlawful to carry this wish. Section 67(2)(d) of the Constitution guarantees every person’s right to participate individually or collectively, in gatherings or in groups or in any other manner in peaceful activities to *challenge* the policies of government or any political party. Any citizen is entitled to challenge flawed, corrupt, inefficient or irrational government or Zanu PF policy. The stifling of this right is unconstitutional.
It’s astounding that it has now become an offence according to the police and the authorities to aspire for Zimbabwe to do better and achieve its God given potential.

Let’s make Zimbabwe great again. #thisflag #hatichada #hatichatya

  1. With stones and burning vendors stalls??How much is the Dutch embassy paying you?

  2. The beauty in your message is a big smack in the face of Mugabe who relentlessly vomits disjointed rhetoric every time he opens his mouth. What “Arab spring” is he dreaming of? The rot in his breath and words kills and nullifies the reason we ever went to war. Surely Mbuya Nehanda’s soul can never rest until Mugabe and Zanu-PF fall and Zimbabwe obtains real freedom. Pamberimberi neKujamuka.

  3. what Matibili did 40 years ago he still does today-to kill…And yes,guy clearly wants Zim in the grave with him in 40 years time.

  4. I admire this young lady. Said something very profound last week. “We should not be dwelling on what Matibili did 40 years ago but where he wants the country to be in 40 years time”.
