By K Maker- I have read with excitement the intentions by concerned citizens to protest on the 31st of July 2020 and this is a welcome development. These intentions are not only bold but show the urgency that the masses want to act to remove a Mnangagwa who has remained on the shelf beyond his expiry date.
But, allow me to use “but” only once please, the planners of these protests need strategies to effectively deal with this murderous zanupf regime. I served in the forces and ultimately resigned around the year 2007 and I believe I saw how the regime operates and I believe I will publish multi threats in the coming months on strategies that can be adopted if we really want to rid ourselves of this murderous ED regime for good.
When faced with the prospects of losing power, zanupf will not hesitate to unleash terror on the citizenry. Believe me, I was once in one of the intelligence arms of the armed forces and attended high level Zanupf meetings and I fully understand how they operate.
The way forward
For all our progressive forces that are yearning for change, its now time to develop new strategies if we really want to rid Zimbabwe of zanupf. Any election, even the 2023 election will not work to remove zanupf. Zanupf will stay in power at all cost and will never allow itself to go into an election which it clearly knows that it will lose.
Zanu pf does not care about the rural population which are its so-called strongholds, it only uses them as a means of retaining power no wonder why they have developed a new way of talking of saying “Harare is not Zimbabwe”, they clearly know that even if the whole of Harare and the cities were to vote for the opposition, the opposition would not match their rural votes.
You have to understand that zanupf is not a mere party, but a system if you want to remove it, u have to dismember it peace by peace and thread by threat. It is doable and it will happen very soon.
We all do not want to see unnecessary carnage in the streets of Harare and Bulawayo and other major cities on the 31st of July 2020. I strongly believe that Chamisa should not go to state house after a lot of people have lost their lives because of this senseless regime called zanupf.
My sources in the intelligence community are saying that zanupf is planning terror on the 31st of July and will do a show of force to deter any future protests. History has shown us Zanupf does not care what amnesty international, human rights watch, the EU or the Americans etc will say, they have crossed and will cross any red line to stay in power.
After all, they have in their basket the Chinese and Russians to veto any United Nations Security Council Resolutions on their behalf. Any physical demonstrations by the masses will be infiltrated by looting hooligans from zanupf to justify the killings that they will do.
If you want to beat zanupf, think like the power drunk zanupf politburo that wants to retain power at all cost. That should be a lesson to all of us, let us not give them what they want.
Yes, they will be protests on the 31st of July, but the type of protests we have to do, should be passive as a starting point. Its time to start with passive resistance in an effort to gain the support of the junior members of the armed forces who really are the power base of the armed forces themselves for fully fledged protests to erupt and dislodge zanupf from power. What am I talking about? I know you all have questions.
On the 31st of July 2020, the masses in the cities, within their homes, should embark on “Cacerolazo” or “Casserole” or “cacerolada” protests. These types of protests have been done in Chille in 1973, 1982-83, 2011, 2019, in Ecuador 2019, in Iceland 2008, in India 2020, in Lebanon 2019, in Puerto Rico 2019, in Mexico 2000, in Morocco 2018, 2019, in Serbia, in Spain 2017, 2020, in Turkey 2013, in Venezuela 2013, 2014, 2017,2018, 2019, In Argentina in 2001, in Brazil in 2015 and in Canada in 2012 just to mention a few countries.
These types of protests have been used even in places where martial law has been imposed by tyrannical regimes like the eve of the 1978 were the regime of President Ferdinand Marcos and they led to the collapse of many authoritarian regimes.
The masses will bang their pots and pans all across the cities within their homes during meal-times to protest against the poor zanupf policies that have resulted in hunger for the people off Zimbabwe.
Even the workers cant afford to put food on the table, therefore as we hit our pots, pans etc loudly we will be showing our anger and frustration due to hunger and the collapsing economy, they cannot arrest the whole of Harare and Bulawayo, Gweru, Kwekwe, Mutare, Masvingo, Chegutu, Kadoma etc. They do not have the capacity to do so.
The nature of JOC deployments is such that they go in groups armed to the teeth and we will identify them way in advance and as they pass we will stop while other areas continue and as they pass our areas we will continue.
They will not be able to counter this. The least they can do is to enter private property and arrest people for public nuisance or this other crime called conduct likely to provoke the breach of peace among other rogue laws they have in the plater.
This will be a starting point to prepare for major mass uprising. We will bang our pot and pans every-time during meal-times from 8am – 9am, again from 1000am – 1100 again from 1pm – 2pm, again from 6pm – 8pm and around midnight to protest that we are sleeping on hungry stomachs.
They will not match us in any way, the whole city banging pots and pans will leave them in disarray and this will send a strong message to SADC, AU, the international community etc without lives being lost. Never underestimate the power of the masses when they take action.
I was listening to the Zimbabwe National Anthem and there I have quotes of interest from stanzas that says “ Tiidzivirire kumhandu dzose……..Nevatungamiri vavenenduramo” and in Ndebele “silivikele ezitheni zonke ……….. abakhokheli babe lobuqotho” and Finally the same in English “And vow to keep our land from foes……..May our leaders be exemplary”.
I believe Emmerson Mnangagwa and zanupf have failed the above test, they have failed to be exemplary. They now represent the internal enemies and a major threat such that we have to protect OUR ZIMBABWE from if our land is indeed going to be “great” once more.
I want to quote the words of the late Father Zimbabwe Dr Joshua Nkomo when he said that “Zimbabwe won’t die, the youth will save it”.
That moment has come for us to stand again. As Napoleon and his gang of pigs is animal farm, Emmerson Mnangagwa eats and strives with his cronies, minions and children. Also, just like the dogs in animal farm, the police and army are unleashed by the regime to entrench its hold on power.
It is time for us to stand up for our children and their children’s children, otherwise there will be no future talk about.
It will be written and be spoken by generations to come that we made our stand starting on the 31st July 2020 and we stood and ushered in a new era of freedom and prosperity. In history, many revolutions came earlier than expected.
Change is coming, lets keep on talking, I will publish other threats soon.
