Jane Mlambo| Following widespread images and reports of protests in Malawi, Zimbabweans have ignited the drive to push the Zanu PF government out of power with opposition supporters hoping the 16 August MDC mass demonstration will yield results and force President Emmerson Mnangagwa out of power.
Malawi descended into chaos yesterday with thousands of protesters flooding the streets to demand the resignation of Jane Ansah, the head of the southern African nation’s electoral agency that they accuse of helping rig an election to keep Peter Mutharika as president.
While the events in Malawi offered hope for change of government, Zimbabweans could only admire their neighbors for braving the threats of backlash and fight back from the police and army.
Below are some of the reactions from Zimbabweans to the news of Malawi protests;

Ooh! This could be Zim in 2 weeks time if we don't handle our delicate situation with care, but Zimbabweans should determine their destiny.
